Hotel Olas

Very nice chill hostel, the owner is really friendly and helps a lot if you want to do tours/activities around Bocas!

Very good accommodation! Especially Andre helped us a lot in the organisation of the trip. It was definitely worth it to go to this Hostel.

Very nice place to stay! The host is very friendly, gives great recommendations and helps with booking activities. The view from the back is also great. Slept wonderful.

Nice building and location but it has to get renovated!! Everything smells wet and especially in the rooms it really smells like mould. Also the bathroom was dirty. On top we saw many small insects running around and the kitchen is very bad. The cooker doesn’t get hot enough and you don’t have everything you need.

Mega gut. Kein Luxus, dafür Abenteuer, Sonnenterasse, Hängematte.. wir haben es geliebt. Andre wirkt vielleicht recht norddeutsch.. aber er kümmert sich echt um alles. Vertraut ihm und lasst ihn Touren, Wassertaxis, .. organisieren. War immer am günstigsten.

Overall the stay was really nice, Andre the cleaner was so helpful. I enjoyed my time there

One of the best sunsets i have seen. They helped ne with tours and trips. Good room and clean. Life is good !!

The staff are super friendly, Andre always sorts things out for you very efficiently. Definitely recommend.

Great hostel, good vibes, Andre and the other volunteers are super generous and inclusive. If you want a fun time I would recommend.

We felt completely catfished by this hostel. The photos are very outdated – the place looks not like advertised and is extremely run-down. The restaurant and breakfast mentioned in the description/photo no longer exist. Our room was dirty, with empty beer cans left around the entire time. The kitchen and fridge were also disgusting. To make matters worse, I got bed bug bites during our stay. Overall, very disappointing and not recommended. For what is offered, the price is far too high.

In general it was a cute, cozy place.

No lo recomiendo, es cierto que las terrazas son bonitas, pero el lugar es asqueroso. En las 4 noches que estuve nadie limpió la habitación ni el baño, era un dormitorio de 5 personas. Hay cucarachas en el baño y habitación. La cocina es otro desastre, está todo muy muy sucio. Hay un tipo que dirige el lugar que es muy extraño, hace comentarios un poco inapropiados a mujeres y hombres, si eres mujer viajando sola recomiendo tratarlo con distancia.

Süßes hostel mit sehr gutem Social Vibe. Der Besitzer ist super witzig. Die Dorms sind Basic aber völlig ausreichend

This is the dirtiest hostel in Central America. When we arrived they had double booked our room so made us sleep in the staff room in a double bed with only $5 off. The kitchen was disgusting, looked like it had never been cleaned. There were house keepers walking around but no one in our 4 days cleaned our bedroom or bathroom. There’s was gross hairy soap in our bathroom for our whole stay.

Very disappointing experience – not trustworthy I would strongly advise against staying here. We booked a 5-island tour which turned out to be a scam. We were taken to only 1 island and got just $5 back out of $25, after complaining we were no longer allowed to book our shuttle for the next day through the hostel. Kitchen was dirty and sheets stained. Since new ownership~3 years quality has gone downhill.

This hostel is a prime example on how an amazing location can be turned into poor if the owner does not care about it. If the owner respects you he is nice and helps you out with tours and all like he did with us. But with others we have noticed the opposite. Overall it was not bad but our room and bathroom were never cleaned during our stay and also before. The kitchen was really dirty and the utensiles were either broken, dirty or not available & it seemned like it’s not being cleaned at all...

Andre will provide you with everything you need. Great vibe loved it 😍

I LOVE HOTEL OLAS!!!!! I recommend 100%. The owner, Andreis, was super accommodating and kind and ordered us water taxis every time we needed one. It was genuinely one of the best places I’ve stayed before. We had some issues with our room on day one and Andreis moved us into a different room the next day. This location is also perfect to access the good areas on the island. I loved it so much I wanted to extend my stay. You can also swim off of the deck. Stay here!! You will have a blast.

Everyone who worked here was so nice and helpful. The location is a little outside of town but close enough to everything. They had fun events and they helped organized boat tours and taxis. The vibe was really nice and I really enjoyed my stay.

Ich kann die guten Bewertungen leider überhaupt nicht nach vollziehen, leider eher dreckig, haben ein paar Kakerlaken gesehen; sehr stickig und es riecht modrig, da die Klimaanlage nur nachts läuft. Als wir gegangen sind war in einem Zimmer der Kammerjäger da? Die Betten haben keine Vorhänge und keine eigene Lampen, Steckdosen nur im Bad und an einem von 5 Schlafplätzen. Die Außentür ist außer nachts immer auf. Atmosphäre war ansonsten ganz nett, der Außenbereich ist ganz chillig
