Restaurant was a bit pricy too

Nice atmosphere, great bar/restaurant area, room with a/c,

The luggage storage was a little small/not very secure. However the place was very safe in general. Location is a bit further from the main area but very handy for the airport.

Beautiful property, great food, nice service. Had an issue with the dorm room (roof leak) and they upgraded me to a double room instead, which was super nice. The views and vibes are amazing.

The restaurant staff is not very attentive and we always had long waiting times for the food. Welcome drink/get-together is not well organized.

The location is lovely, probably the nicest place in bocas town. The rooms are nice too and the food is good.

Very nice hostel with all the good amenities in the center of Bocas town. Even though the hotel was full with a lot of people being outside on the patio, no noise reached our room, so we could enjoy the quite night. The staff was exceptional willing to help with anything. Would definetily recommend

The breakfast could be improved. Selection is quite few and the serving is tiny portion.

Our room had the best view and it is huge! . Sunset view was amazing! Very clean and staff are very accommodating. Good place to have a sun go downer drink, they have amazing DJ.

On two nights the water wasn't running for quite some time in the sink and shower, but the toilets still worked, so it wasn't that bad and they do have a water shortage on the island. It would have been nice if the towels had been replaced after a few days. I left them on the floor after 4 days so they would be replaced but that didn't work. So I guess best is to go and ask at reception for new towels if needed. The service in the restaurant was generally quite slow - still very friendly though, just count in enough time if you have trips planned in the morning/afternoon and are having breakfast/lunch before.

My room was very beautiful, I especially enjoyed the balcony with the sea view. I was staying alone in a double room, would not have needed the bunk beds, but I guess all double rooms have that. The room got cleaned every day. The staff was very helpful and I appreciated the hotel whatsapp group chat to get in contact with other guests regarding trips, sharing water taxis etc., so even though I did not stay in a dorm I could get in touch with other (solo) travellers. They offer some nice trips and you can get water taxis directly from the hotel. The food in the restaurant is good, cocktails as well. I would definitely book it again when in Bocas Town, I had a great stay and would definitely recommend!!

Price

Look the hostel is nice, no doubt about it. 30 usd without even a towel or breakfast included tho is a ripoff considering it’s 10 usd per night more than any other hostel

If you don't go on their day trips, I felt it was hard to meet people there. Took a long time to get service in their restaurant and bar.

Location is great and super walkable to everything in town. Rooms are cute and functional. The dock area is great with lots of space to hangout and music all day.

On our last day, the whole island experienced a water shortage which meant that we could only have water for 30 minutes every two hours, which was a little inconvenient. This was however super quickly and clearly communicated and obviously in no way the hostels fault.

The hostel has a lovely sundeck with a beautiful view of the ocean and the food they serve in their restaurant there is delicious. The staff were super friendly and helped us with organizing tours and activities wherever they could, even beyond the amazing selection of tours and activities the hostel offers (e.g.: $35 all-day boat tour to other islands, free stand up paddeling and movie night, horseback tour with a different provider whose number the hostel helped us get). The main street and many restaurants, shops, cafés etc. are also only a few minutes away.

Can't think of anything

6 bed dorm room. Bed units have light and power points. Privacy curtains. Shower and toilet with unit. Clean. Lockers available. Restaurant / bar and open water front decking very nice. Clean and lots of seating. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food was good. Kitchen and communal area for eating, clean and airy. Close to main shopping area and docks.

The facilities were great. Rooms were clean and had everything that you needed. I love that the dorm cubes have outlets and lights and curtain for privacy. The deck was really nice. You could also easily order a water taxi to get anywhere and be picked up and dropped off at the hotel dock. I highly recommend booking the zapatillas tour through them.

We loved this place. We stayed in a private queen room. The location, decor, shower, waterfront deck, restaurant, group activities and staff where all great!

Stunning bar and chill area just over the water!

Unfortunately we went when it was rainning and couldn't enjoy the complete trip.

They could help me with everything I asked. The breakfast was really good. They have variety. And with tours, you can request them in front desk. Those tours pick you up there.

Room was a bit small and the bed to hard for us. Would have been nice to have a balcony room with ocean view but it was out of our price range.

Great location few minute walk from everything including the airport. Wonderful dock area with comfy seating and ocean access and c tubes to float on. Movie night on the dock was cool. 8 am yoga on the dock was a bonus.

I would have rated this stay a 10 except for two things: (1) The bathroom trash cans and toilet paper need more frequent maintenance, but otherwise they were clean; and (2) The "incentive" to pay for the breakfast for $8 in advance turned out to be more of a punishment because it was not clear that this needs to be decided in *in advance for the entirety of your stay*. I've never experienced this before, as most places do require you pay in advance the night before for a breakfast deal but offer more flexibility. I discussed this with other guests, and we all thought this was very short-sighted, and so the hostel lost out on many breakfasts to other places in town. Please fix this stupid policy! It makes little sense to have such a beautiful hostel but not think this policy through with more common sense.

There's a lot to like about Bambudas Bocas Town! The common area/outdoor deck is one of the best places to hang out in Bocas Town, while it's an easy walk to the main street. My sleeping pod was quiet and roomy and well-designed with a couple of lighting options and its own fan. The afternoon DJ and Happy Hour was a treat, plus I was able to book a convenient tour which departed and arrived at the local dock. Prices for food and beverages at the on-site restaurant & bar are competitive with elsewhere in town. Very good wifi throughout the property. But the best part of my stay was the friendships I made here, and a special shout-out to the volunteer Luz from Canada!

Maybe a bit too expensive for a dorm bed and the bathroom is a bit outdated but still clean

Great place, one of the best ones in Bocas, staff is nice (especially Rölo), clean, comfy

The Kitchen area could be cleaner. At the time we were visiting the town was doing road construction to help with water drainage issues. Caused the roads to be dusty...I am sure it will be wonderful when the construction is complete.

A killer location in the center of town and on the water. Loved working and hanging out in the open air space with the water view. Water taxi is super convenient to getting to the other islands. Cool Tropical Vibe and food from bar is great too. Make sure to spend a night at the RED Frog Selina JUNGLE property too! Amazing!

Great food and drinks. Super fun vibe on the deck, and wonderful yoga in the morning. The bed was a little hard for my liking, but the sheets were clean and crisp. Overall, excellent stay.
