It’s a very chill place. The jungle hike was super cool, Marco was a fantastic guide! The food portions are huge, and the food is not that pricy, as someone mentions in the reviews. There is a taxi boat every hour to the city for 5$ pp. We had a reservation for a private room with a shared bathroom, but we got a private bathroom too, and we were amazed.

Beautiful stay on Bastimentos! If you would like a more tranquil stay and aren't in Bocas to party, this is the perfect spot. I spent two weeks at Bastimentos Hill Guesthouse and couldn't recommend more! I work remotely, and Enrique kindly made sure I had somewhere to comfortably work. The wifi was stable and strong, with only one or two short power cuts during my stay.

Martha was my mama in Bocas. She’s incredibly helpful and lovely. I extended my stay with her twice. Hostal on the sea is a great place- on the water, super close to town, clean and really close to shops/bakery/bars. One of my fave hostels. Gracias por todo Martha. Hasta luego xx

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.
