It’s a very chill place. The jungle hike was super cool, Marco was a fantastic guide! The food portions are huge, and the food is not that pricy, as someone mentions in the reviews. There is a taxi boat every hour to the city for 5$ pp. We had a reservation for a private room with a shared bathroom, but we got a private bathroom too, and we were amazed.

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.

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.

First of all Bocas tel torro is not easy to discover without tours. Please be aware of it! Hostel has the one of the biggest dorm for Panama. Only 4 beds for such a big room. It is super clean area and really very big common area. Since it is a small island centre area everything is nearby to you. Last thing is that I have been around 200 hostels and they have one of the best kitchen area ever.

    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.
