The building was new so everything was clean and looked nice. The decoration was beautiful and we enjoyed the activities, like a complimentary drink to meet other people and yoga in the morning with an oceanview.

Very friendly owner. Nice to stay in Bastimentos, away from big Bocas Crowds. Would recommend for two nights. You can walk to the beach on the other side of the island.

Marta is very nice and welcoming, she wants to make you feel good. Cute house with an amazing view on the ocean and many hammocks to chill in. There's everything to cook. It's also a quiet place if you're not looking for party in Bocas.

The rooms were spacious with the AC and water working perfectly! The Italian owner was very friendly and helpful with activities in the area. The kitchen is well stocked and the free coffee in the morning is a nice touch. The courtyard social area is beautifully painted and a nice place to meet other travellers staying there. Great location, very central in town but away from noisy bars so you can sleep well.

I loved the hospitality, the value for money and the great vibe in the hostel. All the people were amazing and we ended up going on a private boat tour with everyone from the hostel. Wonderful memories, I highly reccomend.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location and if you like to party it is the perfect spot to meet new people. Also, everyday new activities and you should make sure to be at the Filthy Friday party (everyone around is coming and the whole hostel is packed!).

    The location is perfect, just one min away from Bocas town. The hostel got a lot of potential, keep in mind is a party hostel so it's very loud, but if you are looking to meet new people this is the right place.
