10/10 Exceptional

Amazing stay! Firstly, perfect location, literally 6 min walk from the airport. It is located by the sea with a nice deck to sunbathe and jump to the water for a swim. There’s also a space for the boats to stop by for all excursions you book or if you want to take a water taxi somewhere, so no need to even walk to any port (you would be located right in Bocas with loads of restaurant/cafe options around within minutes of walking). The restaurant area is also right there with a great view and great food/drinks. The breakfast included is generous with 1 option of choice for the food and 2 options for drink. The room we stayed at was spectacular (family sea view), super clean, spacious, bright, nicely decorated and a huge balcony with a great view to the sea. The property also organizes an activity every night (movie night, Caribbean dinner, live music, beer pong, etc) which is a nice touch. They also offer a welcome drink where you meet other guests and interact with each other upon arrival (meet up at the restaurant at 5:30pm for it). I liked the mix of hostel + hotel vibes. Overall great stay and 100% recommend. Would definitely come back :)

Beautiful water view lounge, restaurant and room

Lovely ocean view suite which was nice, quiet and peaceful to watch the days go by while working. Although early check-in wasn't available, there is luggage storage and access to the common lounge/restaurant area which was a beautifully decorated space to enjoy with the water swing, floaties and access to swim right from the deck. The front desk team were extremely friendly and helpful with checking in on stay and providing local information with tours. I loved that there was filtered water available to guests to reduce plastic bottles. Although one night the water cut-off but this is common on the island as they depend on rain so use mindfully. The included breakfast was also nice with international vegetarian options. Would not hesitate to stay here again, although it is a bit on the higher end if wanting the overwater rooms.

Hostel rooms looked NOTHING like the photos and were way too small, cramped, and damp. Very overpriced for what it was. The only redeeming factor was the deck.

Dear Bambuda Bocas Town - Hostel Management, I am writing to provide feedback regarding my recent stay. While the view from my room was excellent, I was disappointed to be charged a fee for having a fellow traveler briefly visit to see the view. I was unaware of your guest visitation policy, and in my experience, such visits are typically not an issue at other establishments. Beyond the fee itself, I felt that the hospitality and etiquette shown by your staff during this interaction lacked the warmth that makes a guest feel welcome. I believe this situation could have been handled much more professionally. I hope you find this feedback constructive for improving your guest experience. Best regards, Alan Kiczula

A beautiful hotel and everything in Bocas town within walking distance. No refrigerator or coffee maker in rooms and the restaurant area doesn’t open until 7 to 7:30 so you can’t get anything to drink or coffee until then.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The room was adequate. Not much to it. It was plain and small. The restaurant and public area was nice and right over the water. Food and drinks were good and very reasonably priced. The view over the ocean was very nice. However for the nightly rate I would not go there again.

2/10 Poor

Cheap ploys to con tourists. Breakfast is $8 if you purchase at checkin only ( read fine print). Show up at breakfast and pay $20 . Happy hour is 4-7 pm - only sodas and 1 cocktail is half price.
