this place feels more like a home than a Hostal. Enrique is a very nice a knowledgeable guy. At his place are growing so many different fruits, it was just amazing.

Owner was super friendly and helped us with our questions. Location on the ocean was beautiful. Hammocks very chill. Kitchen was basic but had all the necessities. We were upgraded for better room for free. Enjoyed our stay.

First of all Bocas tel torro is not easy to discover without tours. Please be aware of it! Hostel has the one of the biggest dorm for Panama. Only 4 beds for such a big room. It is super clean area and really very big common area. Since it is a small island centre area everything is nearby to you. Last thing is that I have been around 200 hostels and they have one of the best kitchen area ever.

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.
