"Pros: I stayed here for almost a week and it was a positive experience. The property is tucked away in a quiet area and it is all ran by the sweetest family." ~Dylan

"Pros: Awesome quiet and comfortable hotel. Not too far from a main part of GL, but quiet and peaceful. Delicious food." ~Sukonnov

"Pros: To be honest, normally I'm not really a big fan of hostels because they're usually too crowded and noisy for me. But I booked spontanously and I didn't have much time to research other accommodations. I chose Riad Masaya because, as a solo female traveler, I wanted a safe and quiet place to sleep. And it was simply fantastic and exceeded all my expectations. The staff truly treats you like family; everyone is warm, friendly, and helpful without exception. A cleaning person comes every day and cleans the rooms and beds (and sometimes even tidies things up or folds the laundry, lol). There were many other solo female travelers in the hostel, and you immediately felt very comfortable. The rooms and the bathrooms are very clean, and you have enough of privacy thanks to the bamboo partitions between the beds. The warm atmosphere of the staff extends to the other guests, and everyone treats each other with respect and kindness. While the hostel is close to Cloud 9 and the beach, the party area is a bit too far to walk to. It didn't bother me much because I like to have some peace and quiet at night (which I think is a great plus). There's always someone driving you around on a moped or tricycle. Due to a storm, it wasn't entirely clear whether I would make my flight the morning of my departure, so the owner, Lorena, waited with me in the lobby for my transfer bus and cheered me up. She takes care of all needs immediately and is helpful and just a great host. I would have loved to stay much longer and would definitely return to this hostel. Cons: There's nothing I can criticize." ~Katharina
