Thank you especially to the Hosts. Everything was fine. Perfect location, cleanliness and comfort, to tell you the truth at a level adequate to the price. I read the comments some people and I think that anyone who expects miracles for such a (really low) price must be detached from reality. Personally, I recommend it. Especially the help and reaction on our tasks of the hosts were the best level. I know, we are not easy guests, but ... thanks for your patience, it's something difficult for buying. Best regards, Garou.

Looking for a hostel?

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.
