the place is very authentic, just in the jungle. The staff is very helpful, the food is very tasty, the services are very well organized, motivated staff and volunteers. We lived in a jungle bungalow, we knew what to expect - birds woke us up in the morning.

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.

The place surprised us as it was better than we guessed from the pictures. We had a very comfortable apartment with bathroom and small kitchen. The needs were comfy and the airco much appreciated.

This family run accommodation is amazing value for money with two kitchens, friendly & very helpful staff and right on the water with its own pier for water taxi collection. The accommodation has lots of tables and hammocks for relaxing and is very close to local restaurants and a small supermarket. It is a beautiful 20 minute walk through the jungle to get to Wizard beach and a short water taxi to Red Frog beach and Isla Colon.

it’s a great position just off the Main Street so really quiet but only 2mins to restaurants etc. The owner gives a very warm welcome and has great advice for the area and sorts any shuttles etc you may require.

The location is nice, near center of the town, and it is convenient to go to the central city. Surrounding shops, restaurants, bars are plentiful, locals live. The room facilities are sufficient. The water pressure was small and not very warm.

    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.
