Hostel on the Sea — Hotel in Bocas del Toro

I found this tiny hostel by chance after talking to locals. If you like basics, want to stay in a very quiet place and have an unique experience in busy Bocas, this is the place for you. You’ll literally be staying in someone’s house. The owner is a lovely and welcoming woman who will make you feel at home straight sway. Her house consists of two dorms of four beds with private bathrooms for each, a small kitchen and a nice outside terrace with hammocks and you’ll literally be staying ON the sea! I am so glad to have found this place, it’s made my stay in Bocas unforgettable and very special. Thank you for sharing your home...

Don’t go here, Marta is not a welcoming host as she will kick you out at 8 AM when you’re still sleeping in stead of the regular 11 AM check out times. She doesn’t care and acts as if she is dumb.

Moreover: The beds were dirty and there are insect eggs scattered over the bed.

No running water from the sink.

Don’t do your laundry here, it will stain your clothes more then they were before.

Also a lot of noise so be prepared for...

First time I’m writing a review for a hostel on my travel in Central America, but I just have to.

I loved this Hostel. It’s small, has two 2 small dorms. It’s obviously not a 5 star hostel, but it feels like home!

Marta, the owner who also lives there, gives this place a very special vibes. Not many English speaker and I could practice my spanish. If you want to feel at home in Bocas, get there and chill a bit...
