More about picking Hostels around Ometepe

1. Be aware of the surroundings.

Keep an eye out for different warning signs that someone may be up to no good (a sketchy-looking person lurking around the corner, suspicious noises coming from down the hall). If something feels off, trust your instincts and make sure you get out of there. Always make sure to read the hostel's policy about lockers. Some lockers only have locks on the front, which makes them easy to steal from. Consider investing in a secure vault if you need to store something valuable while in town. Make sure to leave your belongings unattended in your room or on the floor near your bed. It can feel like personal theft if someone manages to steal something from your room while you sleep. Keep everything safe by locking your door or keeping your possessions with you when you're not using them. Make sure to check out the availability of rooms before booking. Some hostels have fewer available rooms than others during peak season. Try to book a room with a view.

2. Hostels in Ometepe often have great views of the island or the ocean.

Suppose you're traveling with friends. Book rooms together, so you can all get along well. It's also helpful to coordinate your arrival time so that everyone can meet up in one place and explore the island together. Choose a hostel with good facilities. You don't actually need all the bells and whistles, but make sure the hostel has clean bathrooms, comfortable beds, and air conditioning if necessary.
