Wow! This place is the most beautiful from all the Bambuda’s. You can see it’s recently renovated. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the main area is lovely!! There is a kitchen and the staff is very helpful. It’s not in the Main Street but you can walk there in 10 minutes.

This was an amazing place where to stay during our trip to Bocas del Toro. The dooble room was very comfortable and clean with air conditioning. The restaurant had really tasty food for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. It also served great cocktails and drinks. Even though it is a party hostel, our double room was quite separate from the common area so the noise was not a problem for us. We took earplugs with us and we were able to have a proper rest during our 3 nights there. This place was especially convenient on Friday, as we attended the Filthy Friday party and we could hop to our room whenever we wanted. Would definitely recommend as the value for money was definitely worth it.

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.

Beautiful guesthouse on the water, perfect for friends to share a calm and relaxing dorm. The well-equipped, clean kitchen was great for cooking our own meals, saving on expensive island restaurants. The owner, Marca, was very friendly and helpful.

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.
