Water ran out during our stay. No one could tell us when the issue is going to be resolved, even after two days. No back up options to flush toilets when water was out, which left the toilets almost un-usable. Plus no shower. We ended out checking out early and moving to another accommodation. Only staff on site were volunteers who were fairly new and didn't seem to know what to do when things went wrong. - Breakfast is only included if you book with booking.com. Breakfast was very small, just...
Not a very social hostel. The kitchen is equipped okay. Would be nice if the sponge and would get changed more frequently
Decent enough place on Isla Colon. Think it’s a bit too expensive for what it is, fairly grubby, and overall just okay!
Only stayed one night as a stopover, but the hostel seemed to have a nice communal vibe to it. Biggest downside was the room was ridiculously hot with no A/C or fans so barely managed to sleep. Also no plug sockets by the bed which is annoying.
Location was very convenient. Would not stay here again though as the room & ensuite weren’t clean & facilities were not good. The top bunk was very wobbly
Es gab bei mir wenig Stauraum im Zimmer, war sehr heiß, keine Schließfächer im Zimmer. Das Wasser ist an einem Tag für viele Stunden ausgefallen.
There was very little room in my room, it was very hot, no lockers in the room.
Esta cerca del puerto donde te deja la lancha te puedes ir caminado incluso. El desayuno es super sencillo pero muy rico me encanto. Lo único que si le recomendaría al hostel poner mas luz en los dormitorios y conectores cerca de las camas
It is close to the port where you can leave the boat you can even walk. the breakfast is super simple but very rich charm me. the only thing that if i would recommend it to the hostel put more light in the dormitories and connectors near the beds
Overall ok hostel. Kitchen was poorly equipped and one of the days there was no water in the entire hostel. Could’ve been cleaner and atmosphere was poor enough
Lugar para todos. Tranquilo y adaptado al precio. Literas cómodas y taquillas. Personal amable
Room for everyone. quiet and affordable. comfortable bunk beds and locker rooms. friendly staff
Es war alles Bestens, bis auf den fehlenden Mückenschutz an den Fenstern. Dadurch mussten wir die Gardienen zulassen, d.h. ein gute kühlende Lüftung war nicht möglich. In der Nacht war es warm, trotz Ventilatoren.
Everything was fine except for the missing mosquito net in the window, which made it necessary to let the guards in, which meant that good cooling ventilation was not possible, and at night it was warm, despite the fans.

I just stayed one night but everyone was really nice. The breakfast included was a big pancake with fresh fruit. The beds are aleeady a little old and metal and the rooms are furnished very simple but you have enough space for all your stuff snd the shared areas with the hammocks are very nice. The bathrooms and shower were clean.
War richtig gut und die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet

Bon hostel. Mais il manque des prises dans les chambres. La localisation est bonne et le personnel est agréable.
Good hostel. but there are no sockets in the rooms. the location is good and the staff is nice.

war sehr gut, sauber abr nur Fan. Total okey abr warm;)
Really great atmosphere, didn’t take the Spanish classes but everyone who did loved them! Good kitchen and common area, included breakfast was pancakes and fruit, really delicious. The biggest con is no AC, so it was hot at night with only fans. Staff were really nice, checking in and out was really smooth. Great location in Bocas town, can walk anywhere. Good taco stand right outside. Not a party hostel, but definitely social! Met some great people. They also offer tours at good prices.
hostel simples mas bom. a área de convivência é bem agradável e tranquila.
Simple but good hostel. the living area is quite pleasant and quiet.
Very clean, good kitchen and common areas. 4bed dorm was a bit small and only had fans so can be very warm at night. Breakfast could be better, was juste one pancake with some pineapple when I was there. Overall, good hostel for the price!
A really nice stay in Bocas with lots of local knowledge given by the staff. Would stay again!
This was a cute hostel, lovely and helpful staff. Only issue was the rooms were so hot as no aircon only fans. Bathrooms got dirty easily but great breakfast and a decent stay. I wouldn’t say it’s the most social but I went with friends so it was good
enjoyed our stay it was just a bit outdated in some areas. one night there were no plugs and we didn’t have access to any security lockers
Too expensive for the price. The room was nice, however the water wasnt running most time so no toilet flushing (disgusting if you have to pee in a toilet full of shit),no showering, hand washing etc., especially annoying if you come from the beach. It is not the hostels fault but my friend in the other side of town did not have that problem. One of the staff members was really nice and helpfull, the other unfortunately couldnt answer my questions (where to find cheap eats, boat station etc.).
The most amazing hostel I‘ve ever been to:) It had such a nice vibe and I met friends for life, just beautiful

Très bon hostel, un bon rapport qualité prix, les petits déjeuner sont top !
Very good hostel, good value for money, the breakfast is top notch !
All in all very good. Clean facilities, nice kitchen and relaxed common area
Very impressed with this hostel. If I had my time again I would have attended the Spanish school.
hostel is good value, and not close to town, has a lovely friendly vibe to it as a lot of people do Spanish school there which I actually would have liked to do if I had the time, Camilla was super friendly :)
