Very clean, well-organized, and cozy place to stay. Just a few minutes’ walk from downtown, yet quiet because it’s not right in the center. Excellent kitchen and fridge with everything you need to prepare snacks or meals. Several grocery stores are only a few minutes away as well. Very good coffee available all day! I’m a solo female traveler and felt very safe. I booked a room with a private shower on the lower level. Thanks for a great stay — I’ll definitely be back!

We used Boca as a base to explore. The place is small but comfortable beds, full kitchen in our unit and a full shared kitchen across the hall. Air conditioning is quiet and powerful. Power outlets by every bed. Erica the manager is very friendly and helpful. The daily rate is unbeatable. A good supermarket around the corner. We stayed 4 nights. Consider take the bus and do the bat cave.

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Affordable, clean, beautiful, welcoming hosts, and a very cute resident cat. Free coffee. Comfortable beds. Close to everything in Bocas Town. Hot water, although we had some trouble keeping the shower a constant temperature. However this really didn’t detract from our awesome stay!

Would’ve been a 5/5 for sure. The area is nice, the staff is nice. Everything is clean and felt very safe the entire time. The downside however… Our room was in the corner next to the stairs, and for some reason whenever anyone in the entire upstairs would turn on the water, you could hear what we assumed was the water pump. It wasn’t quiet or in the back ground. It had a really loud high pitched noise and would go on for a long time, changing tones and turning on/off randomly. It doesn’t let you sleep through the night and you’re getting up with whoever decides to turn on water first (usually around 5am in our experience). I’m sure any other room would be quieter and nice but I feel bad for you if you’re stuck in room 15 or 25.

It’s decent. Nice coffee, full kitchen, alright rooms. The shower wasn’t the best and the doors had massive gaps all around. It was comfortable enough but nothing to be ecstatic with. It was quite nice that the bins were changed daily and swept I believe too, so felt clean and looked after

Pros: close to the action in Bocas Town; affordable Cons: Can be too close to the action in Bocas Town, especially on weekends with load music and fireworks shows at 2 am. Concrete floors transmit noise from adjacent rooms with ease. 20-something crowd can be very boisterous, especially if partaking to adult beverages on the weekend. It's much more a hostel with private rooms than a b&b.
