The property met our expectations. Perfect location. The facility is clean and well-kept. Although in an old style, a bit like grandma's in the countryside. But that's how all of Bocas is. The host is very friendly and communicative. Staying in this place is a great pleasure.

This was an amazing place where to stay during our trip to Bocas del Toro. The dooble room was very comfortable and clean with air conditioning. The restaurant had really tasty food for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. It also served great cocktails and drinks. Even though it is a party hostel, our double room was quite separate from the common area so the noise was not a problem for us. We took earplugs with us and we were able to have a proper rest during our 3 nights there. This place was especially convenient on Friday, as we attended the Filthy Friday party and we could hop to our room whenever we wanted. Would definitely recommend as the value for money was definitely worth it.

This family run accommodation is amazing value for money with two kitchens, friendly & very helpful staff and right on the water with its own pier for water taxi collection. The accommodation has lots of tables and hammocks for relaxing and is very close to local restaurants and a small supermarket. It is a beautiful 20 minute walk through the jungle to get to Wizard beach and a short water taxi to Red Frog beach and Isla Colon.

The owner, Adrian (I hope that was his name 😅) is such a nice guy, made it easy to feel just like at home. The house is beautiful, the room was also nice and the breakfast (pancakes) was just delicious. It was really a pleasure to stay there. Adrian also gave us a tip for a snorkeling tour, which was just amazing, would totally recommend to do that tour.

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.
