Stayed at this hostel for 3 nights in May 2015. Staff were ok. Bathrooms were dirty. No air conditioning. It was also a 15 minute walk to town and it was unsafe to walk alone after dark to get back to the hostel. Very annoying. It was across from a beautiful beach, but away from the rest of the town. There was no common kitchen or fridge to store food or cook. No restaurant or food for sale on site (restaurant only open during high season). Probably would pick something closer to town next time.

Had a great time at this hostel for 3 nights in May 2015. The owners were Canadian, very friendly and accommodating. Pool was great. I also liked how the dining room was a large table where everyone could sit and reminisce about their days at dinner. Very social environment. Meals not included, but reasonably priced. Quiet and secluded from Bocas town if that is what you are looking for! Dan and Jimmy are great, especially with booking water taxis and tours. They also make a great sangria!!

This hostel was very much a party hostel. There was a pool, fire pit, and large lounge area. Stayed here for 1 night in May 2015. Rooms were air conditioned, but it was WAY TOO COLD at night. I wore sweaters and had to get up in the middle of the night to turn of the A/C. Kitchen and bathrooms were not that clean. Did meet some great people here!

The concept of this hostel was great. There was a nice large lobby and common area and a small hanging bridge in the hostel. Dorms and bathrooms were clean but the kitchen was not. Staff were not friendly and wanted you to just book tours that were through the hostel instead of helping you find what you wanted. Location was great. Next to the bus station, mall, restaurants, bars, and grocery stores.

This was a great hostel for cleanliness! Nice pool, bar, and lounge area. Very secure place as well. Showers and dorm rooms were spotless and there was air conditioning! Highly recommend. I only stayed one night and had very little time but it seemed like a great place to meet others, party, and be social.

Stayed here for 4 nights in May 2015. Staff was great and accommodating, especially Mitch who was always around. This hostel is a little farther from the main area of town than I wanted but was still walkable. However, you do have to walk up a very large hill from town to get here. There were a lot of flies, even in the dorm rooms that had fly nets on the windows. Got lots of bug bites. Breakfast was great and the common areas were a great place to meet other travelers.
