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

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

I hate the sheet. It’s not holding on the mattress. Please buy new ones

Very nice place to hang around

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.

Cleanliness could have been a bit better.

It was a nice hostel situated near the beach with nice young people.

some of the tents were a bit hot - not enough fans blowing around them.

it was a quirky hostel that was a great budget place to stay! it had nice chilled vibes and was clean.

Stayed in May 2023

Friendly volunteers & guests, lots of shade, everything worked - all good! Away from noisy party vibes of town, close to swimming beaches.

Stayed in April 2023

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 kitchen constantly had flies.

The outside bathroom was nice. The sleeping space and bathrooms were clean. It really felt like a mix of camping outside in nature and modern society. Bring bug spray tho.

Stayed in February 2023

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.

Cheap and easy stay. Bit out of town, but only a dollar in a taxi to get there. You'll wake up to the call of howler monkeys in the morning.

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.

The Service at the reception was quite poor, espacially one of the Girls at the reception didnt want to talk to us. Also the kitchen was quite dirty and things like toilet paper and soap were missing Most of the times

Very nice living area with a Garden and cute little rooms

Kitchen is very simple and not the cleanest one. Next Supermarket is like 5min by bike. Bar was temporary closed at my stay.

The shared kitchen could have been a little cleaner, but that is often the case in hostel kitchens so not that big a deal.

This is a very relaxed, peaceful place to stay. The mattresses in the tent were some of the most comfortable we had slept on in a long time! The couple that runs the place are super nice, helpful, and accommodating. The location is great if you don't want to stay in the noisy downtown area. It's a $1 taxi ride from town. There's a bus stop at the corner to go to Boca del Drago or Playa Bluff. There's a beach about a 5-10 minute walk away that wasn't very busy. This place is great value for the money! Also, sleeping in an open air building in a tent during a tropical thunderstorm was a magical experience.

Being a little further out I would like to see the introduction of certain services and offerings like water or coffee or transport help mostly at nights. With a few changes spaces can be used better and the kitchen definitely needs improvement. I expect to see them improved when I return, as promised by the very attending host. All in all small details on an excellent stay.

I enjoyed my stay and was well attended. I liked the location being a little further away than the noisy center and felt very comfortable in the privacy of my designated tent. I would recommend and return to stay.

The long distance from Town on the Night and no good Taxi Bus Service

I like the Home in a Cabañas, the quiet Tropical Garden and close to the Beach and 3 km from Town
