Komplett Urlaubsfeeling im Bambuda. Relativ weit weg vom Ortskern, aber die Strecke ist zu Fuß auch gut machbar.

The Bambuda is more like a Hotel. It has much more privates than dorms. The doors of all dorms were always unlocked and for anybody to just walk in. Nothing happened but I found that strange, especially bc the door had a keycodesystem but no one got a code and the doors wouldn’t lock anyways. The dorms are spacious and clean. But there are just two hooks for everyone which makes hanging towels or bathing suits complicated. The staff of the reception was nice but the restaurant was unfriendly.

die Unterkunft war top und das Personal sehr nett. Im 4er Dorm gibt es allerdings nicht ausschließlich Betten mit Vorgängen sondern auch 2 normale Betten mitten im Raum

+ Es muy cómodo y la piscina es muy chevere

- La comida siempre fue fría, mucho desorden por parte del personal en los pedidos se notaba y algo sin duda que no me gustó es que no nos dieron llaves de la habitación y teníamos la habitación abierta.... Fue muy mal gusto por que pueden entrar al hotel personas no residentes y no estamos tranquilos con las cosas en el hotel

+ Great room, staff on reception were very friendly, food was always very nice

- Less of a hostel vibe and a bit more like a hotel, but depends what you’re after. Quite pricey.

+ Excellent situation. Quite vibrant during the day and early evening but quiet at night. Woken by birdsong nothing else. Staff were excellent and always willing to help out, or concoct a cocktail/ mocktail for you in the pool to chill out after diving. Real variety of ages and nationalities staying in a very convivial environment. Watching the sunset brings everyone together. Mike and Felix on the reception were a great team with very good English skills. Good mixture of rooms from dorms to very well appointed king suites- we loved our balcony with hanging chairs to watch the world go by.

- The sound did travel when little people ran up and down the corridor outside the room as all the floors are polished concrete- very practical and cool. We were getting up for diving but if you planned a lie in that might be different.

+ A really luxurious accomodation, even for solo travellers like me.The bunk beds were really comfortable and the common space with the pool and the bar was perfect for relaxing. Highly recommended!

- It was a bit far away from the center of the village, like 15-20 minutes by feet, which it was something I was aware of, so not a big deal

+ Le dortoir climatisé avec un espase de rangement près du lit, une lampe, la salle commune lumineuse.

- Presque aucun sourire de la parr du personnel que ce soit pour le check - in ou lors du petit déjeuner. L'impression de déranger quand une a une questiin, des messages automatiques en anglais sur WhatsApp (même si on demande une autre langue).

+ Nice and helpful staff Pretty place Clean

- Mixed dorms or expensive private rooms only Booked for 6 nights and when I checked in at 6 pm they wanted me to move 3 times in those days... I had booked early January and swear I booked women only dorms, could not find that in March The lady said they never had that. She allowed me to spend one night and cancel as I really don't do mixed dorms anymore after a bad experience elsewhere ( thank you so much for understanding) Hard to find last minute places here in high season. Also this place has beautiful ocean view but no beach I found out the next morning, so daily taxi's or your own car needed Great if you want a fancy trip
