The place surprised us as it was better than we guessed from the pictures. We had a very comfortable apartment with bathroom and small kitchen. The needs were comfy and the airco much appreciated.

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 🤣

I loved the hospitality, the value for money and the great vibe in the hostel. All the people were amazing and we ended up going on a private boat tour with everyone from the hostel. Wonderful memories, I highly reccomend.

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.
