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!

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.

It’s really a lovely hostel right at (above) the water. My room was really great and felt way bigger than it looks on the photos. The owner and the staff were super friendly. I can recommend the happy hour 🤣

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.
