    There were noisy neighbors with loud music at a later night. Also, there is a commercial building construction nearby. They are working even on Sunday.

    The hostal has a great location: in one direction is Bluff Beach, in another one is Starfish Beach. The Istmito Beach was dirty and had a lot of seaweed.

    1) The hostel is locate to 3.5 km from the center in a region without access to supermarkets, hospitals, etc. You are forced to pay $1 travel to the center each time you need buy food. 2) The kitchen and livinroom is inhabited by 3 cats that catch your food everytime you move from the table...It is a very stressful situatiion. 3) -The hostel do not accept credict cards, only money 4) The hostel rules are not obey by some people. Some travelers smoke in the kitchet even when it iis not allowed, and some couples remains speaking all the night.

    The hostel include the camp tent, so you do not need carry your tent or sleeping bag

    There was quite a bit of construction in the area. We would have liked if there were proper dish clothes and tea towels in the kitchen. It would be nice if there was designated smoking area with a bench or chairs.

    We really enjoyed everything. The staff and environment were lovely. Very relaxing.

    room can be a little loud due to the number of tents staying on the roof above the room. Also, the communal areas were only adequately clean

    Cheap for its proximity to Bocas, with the taxi only being $1 into town. The room was comfortable and staff were happy to help with any questions

    Already stated that in what I liked, (the last 2 sentences).

    I really liked the eco conscious focus of this hostel, you could tell right away they are mindful about being resourceful. They're also the most affordable hostel in Bocas that I could find, if you're investment focus is purely price. I do feel that they could work on answering phone calls, doorbell rings/knocks, whatsapp text alittle more efficiently and timely. Just so you're not waiting outside for 25 minutes like I did, lol.

    Don`t offer free or payable coffe or tea. There aren't smoking area in the yard. There were problems with water.

    Quiet location. It`s good to have private space in a tent. The place is near the bus stop.

    The mattress was quite dated and gave me backache after a few nights there. The kitchen equipment could do with an upgrade. That is not to say we didn't manage with what was there. A kettle would be great for morning coffees.

    It was lovely that the owners arranged a meal for all the guests on new year's eve. The volunteers really kept the place clean and in order. The best part was the lovely bunch of people that we were lucky to meet staying there at the same time. Super nice place to meet like minded travellers.

    I think the price is a but too much when booking a single tent. I was with a couple of friends that shared their room and decided the cost and in that case I think it can make sense. You could probably find a hostel with a real bed for less in the town if you're by yourself. The location is good if you want to be a bit isolated but the town is not super close and around there's not much to do. There's either a taxi option or the bike rental option to move around and you could also walk to Bocas town but it would take 30min and the road is not the best at night.

    The stuff was very friendly and the tents are in a nice area clean because they don't allow shoes there. The wifi works well and even if I stayed there during a massive water shortage that affected the whole island they still managed to keep the place clean and treat us guests in the best way possible. They were all super nice! Also it's wavy season so the sea it's more for surfing than for swimming but the beach super close to the hostel is actually very nice, the water is flat most of the times and it's clean and take only two min walking.

    Staff didn't speak English at all. No advise or recommendations from the staff, he just sat there all day on his phone! They didn't accept card and it was on the booking description they accepted card and when we paid in cash they didn't even have change for $5. The tent was dirty and lacked basic things like a power cable and a fan as it was very hot! These things I would be happy to go without if it was a bit cheaper. The showers were gross, toilettes were ok. Quite disappointed for a tent thats thrown on the floor of what looks like a shed. The tents are squashed right next to each other so you dont even have any personal space Overall disappointed and have the impression the owners are trying to make as much money as they can and provide as little as they can.

    The location was great! Chill area next to a beach!

    the place was a long walk out of town and sometimes it was tricky to get a bus/taxi but not enough to make it a problem. the ‘free bikes’ info must be old because they property didn’t have any to use, although you can rent them from next door

    the price was by far the best on the island, but facilities were excellent anyway! bathrooms great, kitchen well equipped and decent size, friendly staff

    The kitchen was honestly pretty dirty and could have been a bit better equipped but for the price we paid can’t really complain too much!

    The hostel was super cheap which was great for travellers (like us) who are on a budget. The option to rent a fan was great too although it actually wasn’t too hot at night. Loved the outside shower! It’s a little bit further out of town but only $1 for a taxi so not bad at all.

    I think $20 for a tent inside is a bit of a rip-off, to be honest. You don't get the fun parts of staying in a tent like waking up outside. The kitchen was pretty dirty and poorly equipped. It would take someone 5 minutes to clean the surfaces to prevent the flies hovering around and put stuff away.

    Nice guy on reception let us pay later as we didn't have cash on arrival. The mattress in the tent was surprisingly comfy. Plenty of places to charge your phone. Decent communal area to chill. Overall it was fine for one night.
