The owner, Nicola is very helpful with communication and advice on getting there. he will pick you up from the park car park and drop you at the best bus stop for onward travel - for a $2.50 fee. His staff Karla and Jorge and always smiling and are both great cooks producing a huge breakfast of rice and beans with eggs and bacon ready for hiking ups the volcano. Dinner was equally good with a good choice for such an off-the beaten-path lodge. The rooms were far bigger than we expected and completely screened and the beds had mossie nets in good condition. This is a lodge in the forest and as such is amazing in having hot water showers and an incredible 30m viewing platform in the forest canopy. Jorge does a night walk for a few dollars and we saw a snake, spiders, opossums and birds. We did see a sloth but that was higher up at the park eco reception centres and cafe. We walked from the lodge to the top of the volcano where there are 3 trails - one easy and 2 guided.

Nothing. Just bear in mind where you are. This is not a manicured hotel but it is an amazing experience - enjoy it!

We really enjoyed our 3 nights stay at the Mombacho lodge, despite the brutal weather. Unfortunately we had a hurricane passing with a lot of rain. However, it's a peaceful and beautiful place: plenty of wildlife around, waking up to the sound of howler monkeys and birds. We liked the food, hot water, cozy screened bed and we enjoyed the company of adorable friendly dogs.The night walk is a must to do: we saw a lot of animals including 2 slothes! Nicholas picked and dropped us to the main road. We liked to come back!

Have realistic expectations for such a harsh wet environment.The road to the lodge is really bad and bumpy.The wood of cabin displays some dicay. Too bad we couldn't climb the high platform because of constant rain.Maybe November isn't great for visiting .Please watch your steps carefully for barb wire enclosure

Beautiful location, surrounded by forest. I saw monkeys from the dining area and walked up to the viewing platform to watch them all pass by in the trees. There was a good mosquito net on the bed which I appreciated as I didn't have to worry about bugs at night. I was able to book trips including a volcano hike, Zipline and coffee farm tour (can't recommend the coffee one but the others were great). They also got in touch with me when I booked and helped me to arrange transport there.

The food was simple but good, and there were vegan options. The vegan options were all fried food and the menu was pretty limited, but it was fine for a weekend. Would have loved more drink options. If you are scared of spiders/ bugs then this won't be the place for you.

Beautiful location in the heart of Mombacho Volcano Nature Reserve. We saw so much wildlife during our short stay, including howler monkeys, hummingbirds, tarantulas, scorpions, a snake and a skunk. We highly recommend the excellent night tour. The breakfast was filling and the WiFi was strong in the restaurant area as promised. The lodge itself was simple but spacious and had a good view of the wildlife from the balcony. There's a really cool viewpoint setup in one of the tree canopies.

The owner could have been more welcoming when we arrived. There was no real 'hello' and we weren't given any information on the park, area or wildlife, other than the rules. Admittedly we could have asked more questions but I think most visitors would like to know what wildlife you can see and where you can see it. For example, when we told the owner we were setting off to walk to the top, we weren't informed that 2 out of 3 of the trails close from around 12:30pm onwards.

Absolutely incredible stay!!! This should be on everyone’s list when visiting Granada. Wonderful from start to finish. Good food, great host, incredible location! The monkeys and the hummingbird were highlights. Take a walk to the butterfly sanctuary round the corner and worth a hike around the volcano too. (Others mention Girl working in bar/cafe area is not very friendly, it’s true, but she’s a great cook and the owner makes up for her lack of conversation and smiles in bucket fulls - he can’t do enough to help!)

Right in the rain forest, surrounded by wild nature nature. If you love nature, this is the place to be. When we did the night safari, we saw a snake, the poisonous barba amarilla, a tarantula, frogs, a cameleon, and others.. the howler monkeys can be seen in the trees all the time. They cooked for us brealfasts and dinners, fresh delicious meals. Nicolas gave us tips for tracks and was very helpful with everything. Highly recommended. We hiked up to the volcano, which was quite an intense hike. In the end, we didn't see the crater because of the fog and rain, but the walk around the volcano is quite beautiful.

The rooms could use a bit more thorough cleaning, but you're in the jungle afterall.

This is an extremely special place. Absolutely beautiful. Walking throughout the property you will see so many butterflies and birds and the howler monkeys with greet you in the morning.

The only negative was the woman working in the common area/ restaurant was not very nice. I felt like she disliked me for some unknown reason from the first time I saw her and said good morning and she just looked at me and turned a way. Never a smile to be seen or greeting to be had. The owner is very nice and helpful. But the woman is the one there primarily and for this reason I did not feel very welcome and would not return.

Sleeping in the jungle was such a cool experience. We loved that there was a family of howler monkeys living in the trees surrounding the lodge. The staircase to the canopy lookout was a nice surprise and a beautiful spot to hang out. The guide who led the night hike was excellent and helped us spot many animals we would have never seen. The host had prompt communication and was very organized, helping us with our tours and transportation.

Some meals were very salty, but always cooked fresh and a good set menu. The portions are very large, so I would recommend sharing a meal if you are not a big eater.

Nicolas was so very helpful, he wanted us to get the most out of our trip. The lodges are in the middle of the Mombacho reserve and it feels amazingly wild. We wanted to emerge ourselves in the rainforest experience and we certainly got that. The lodges are basic situated near a 30 + meter viewing platform which was incredible. All sorts of creatures, beautiful butterflies and howler monkeys.

Lodges are very basic and not bug and spider proof but that’s part of the experience.

The lodges were very comfortable to stay in and roomy. The included breakfast was very convenient and all of the meals that I had there were very tasty and well-prepared. The staff were all friendly and accomodating.It was a great atmosphere to stay in as a first visit in Nicaragua, and I was even able to see howler monkeys from the restaurant patio. Conveniently close to the trails of Volcan Mombacho. Would definitely return!
