This place is just awesome! From the moment you step in, you will love it. Chilling on the deck listening to the waves is stunning. Staff was very welcoming. Lockers, sockets and a light are located next to your bed. Free drinking water and welcome drink. I really enjoyed my stay and would certainly stay again!

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 is more of a home stay, in the best way possible. Loved the host lady, she is a sweetheart and treats guest like family. The patio is beautiful, sunrises are spectacular and you can dive right in the water from it. The kitchen has everything you need and is very well kept. It was by far my most favourite plce to stay at, I felt welcome and at home, such a nice feeling, when you are far away, travelling for a long time. I would stay here again 100%.

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.
