Wow! This place is the most beautiful from all the Bambuda’s. You can see it’s recently renovated. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the main area is lovely!! There is a kitchen and the staff is very helpful. It’s not in the Main Street but you can walk there in 10 minutes.

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.

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.
