Bocas del Toro hotellit lähellä La Buga Dive and Surf

Plussat: Excellent location overlooking the sea, the swim up deck was amazing! Breakfast was delicious with lots of options - the pancakes were the best I’ve ever tasted! The rooms were really clean and cleaned every day.

Miinukset: There was a bit of noise from the water taxis going past but the views more than make up for this!

Plussat: Eveything perfect

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The bungalow was spacious, nicely furnished and clean. Breakfast was very good with several choices (eggs, pancakes or continental) and fruits. Lady serving breakfast was nice.

Miinukset: There was unpleasant smell of sewerage in the air around hotel. It was stronger in the evenings. Unfortunetely we cannot use the terrace in the evenings becase of it and have to stay inside room. Nobody mentioned it in reviews before. Maybe it is connected with construction in neighbourhood. WiFi was fluctuating. Surroundings with houses of locals are not very romantic, better go for dinner by water taxi to Bocas town. Next time we would choose another location. It was not good value for money we paid.

Plussat: Breakfast is an Standard, the Bungalow on the water is very nice, in the evening you have an spectular view to the stars, also jumping directly in the water from your deck.

Miinukset: In the evening, if you have not so deep sleep, dont forget earplugs, because from the mainland comes music from the discos, allways it pass boots in the near

Plussat: Location over the water

Miinukset: It was pretty noisy with all the water taxis

Plussat: The location is fantastic, your own waterfront room where you can dive into the water from your own private patio. Luz's breakfasts were great, always served with juice, coffee, fruit, cake and your choice of eggs or pancakes. Sit, relax and watch the world go by with views of the main island and mainland. It's only a 3 minute water taxi to the main island which has all the shops, restaurants, services and amenities you need. It was pouring rain on our first night but we were checked in without haste and got to watch a thunderstorm while sitting in bed over the water.

Miinukset: The bathroom and shower could use a bit of an update, their showing their age. There are lots of water taxis going by sun-up to sun-down, but hey it's an island and you're in your own bungalow over the water. Would be nice to have access to a microwave.

Plussat: All was GREAT.. the staff was incredible. Very nice went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect for our stay.

Plussat: Over water bungalow with great views. Easy to catch water taxis to all areas. Restaurant on site was very good and service was wonderful.

Miinukset: They need new pillows.

Plussat: Jumping into the water from the patio was the best! Friendly staff, they were also flexible and let us shift our stay by 1 day without any extra charges.

Miinukset: The water heater in the shower looked dangerous and was not working.

Plussat: Very friendly service. Unbeatable location.

Miinukset: As is unfortunately common in developing countries, the septic system is unable to flush toilet paper, which is less than pleasant to dispose of in a trash can. They did have sufficient air freshener in the bathroom though.

Plussat: Really good value for money relative to others nearby and the AC was a huge plus. Great to have a kitchen as well and a couple of spacious common areas to relax in.

Miinukset: Very run down and didn’t feel clean. Mildew on the curtains, and the sheets didn’t feel clean, but the mattress seemed relatively new and clean so all in all it was a good stay.

Plussat: We stayed at a two story Appartement and it was just perfect. A lot of space, flexible and nice staff and a big Kitchen.

Miinukset: The kitchen and its equipment could be cleaner to make it the perfect place.

Plussat: The location is great - tucked away a couple of minutes from the busy Main Street. Close to local shops and restaurants. Thomas was extremely helpful and very nice to deal with. Very clean kitchen and cooking facilities. The room was very clean and tidy and the showers were HOT!! Something of a luxury in Central America!

Miinukset: Unfortunately, we were bitten by bugs quite a lot in the night. We reported this to the owner who said he would look into it.

Plussat: Staff very friendly. Free coffee in the morning

Miinukset: Bed was not very comfortable. AC not really cold

Plussat: The room with private kitchen on second floor is spacious. Location is good, close to the ferry dock, just a bit far from taxi boats and central area (but you can still walk there anyways). Staff (Thomas) is friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The neighborhood looks shabby and ruined. More chairs in the room would be better. Kitchen tools are very old and poor quality. Sinks drain very slowly. Weak shower water (maybe because it's on second floor. On the ground floor, it's stronger!). Smelly water. Two fridges in common kitchens are not cold enough. Some flies are flying in there.

Plussat: Katya and Cesar were amazing hosts. Extremely friendly and accommodating. I also booked the Deepboarding Tour through them which was a blast. Cannot recommend enough! Best value in Bocas Town for sure!!!

Plussat: Cheap and well-located. Staff are friendly and helpful. Rooms have A/C and hot water. Nice rooftop.

Miinukset: Room smelled a bit weird, probably due to the humidity of the island. Kitchen facilities were too basic. No check-in before 3pm.

Plussat: Nice location. Nice kitchen. Just what we needed during our stay.

Plussat: Good location, good value for money and friendly staff

Miinukset: The fridge was leaking and made aliments wet

Plussat: Location ok

Miinukset: On the ground Floor the room was next to the communal Area all day/night noise. Everythjng old and bit nasty

Plussat: The facilities were great and the vibe of this place was great.

Miinukset: The pillows were very cheap and nasty looking but they were okay.

Plussat: Nice bar

Miinukset: Airconditioning was leaking water like a waterfall, toilet didn’t flush, 1 of the toilet doors couldn’t be locked, shower water didn’t run away, shower light didn’t work, didn’t have a pillow case. Luckily we got another, better room after 1 night. Kitchen wasn’t really clean and a lot of noise was coming from the bar at night. Also we did a tour with Selina, but the “guide” didn’t say a word to us. We didn’t do all the promised activities and we were back 1 hour too soon. Luckily again we got a compensation of 5 bucks. They don’t communicate how to get back in the hostel at night when the doors are closed. We had to find it out ourselves in the middle of the night. Also the luggage room isn’t locked.

Plussat: The location is amazing! Right on the water and right in Bocas town. Water taxis come right up to Selina. Easy to book tours through the hostel. They use an electronic wristband to get into the room which means you can’t lose it at the beach and don’t need to carry anything with you. My friend and I had a private room. It was cleaned daily with turn down service and fresh towels. It was a really good size with heaps of hanging space and king bed. The room felt more like a boutique hotel room, rather than a hostel.

Miinukset: The music. We completely understand it’s a party hostel so when there’s people partying and enjoying the music, it makes perfect sense to have the music pumping. But for our entire stay they played the loudest doof doof nightclub music for about 18 hours a day. Even at 3am after the bar was closed and there wasn’t a soul in sight (besides the staff) and then started again by 8am. During the day it would have been cool to have some more relaxed tunes. The only time we spent at the hostel was to have a boogie on Friday night and to sleep because it wasn’t the relaxed atmosphere I’ve experienced at other Selina’s and there’s no areas to get away from the noise if you feel like a break. If you’re looking to party 24/7 then this is the spot for you. But if you’re looking for some chill Caribbean vibes maybe stay elsewhere and come to Selina if you feel like a drink.

Plussat: Nice place to meet people and have drinks

Miinukset: Because of protests I couln't make it for the first night I booked. 2 spanish girls received a refund for these nights. Me and a dutch guy didn't. Lousy room next to the bar, and next to a club with music until 4.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The security. We were trying to sleep at 5am after a night out, someone (who thought we were asleep!) managed to open our window and by the time he opened the door (we were seeing the whole thing!) I managed to get up and chase him out. Luckily we were awake, our passports and valuables could have gone easier... The staff were nice, changed our room with free upgrade but still unbelievable that I witnessed live breaking-in...

Plussat: Lage

Miinukset: Worst selina I've ever been!! Old, dirty, unfriendly, very low standard in general. Staff is highly (!) unmotivated & unfriendly! Also unprofessional! I asked for smoking areas when I checked in and was told the kitchen area/ balcony is ok - even if it's mentioned "no smoking". And everyone was smoking there! When I did so, I was rudely kicked out by a security. Seriously?! If not even the staff know about their rules- who else should! And same rights for everyone please! If it is forbidden 1) forbid it to everyone 2) don't give people wrong information! I'm always following every rule and always ask what is allowed in advance! When I put my injured leg on a chair one your rude staff members just walked by and moved away the chair - for no reason, without saying anything! What the hell... I've never stayed at such an unfriendly place! Arrogant people! We are your guests! We pay a lot of money! Otherwise you wouldn't have a job. Think about that! It takes ages till things get repaired or refilled, you have to ask 8, 9, 10 times. Hot showers didn't work for several days, no kitchen paper in the kitchen, towels only up on request (even in private rooms), light bulbs didn't work in the shared showers, private rooms without bathroom are TOO SMALL (couldn't even open my bag) etc. etc. The "kitchen" is a horrible mess and badly equipped. Totally disgusting and useless. Many things (knifes, pans...) need a replacement. Also much too small for the size of the hostel! And it is sooo noisy (especially private rooms with shared bathrooms)! I was asking if the place/ rooms are quite before I made my booking and I was told "yes! No noise" - that was a lie. I felt like in front of a loudspeaker in the middle of the dancefloor. And it actually makes no sense to say "quiet after 11 p.m" if the party/music runs till 1:30 a.m. - 4 a.m. every single night!! No storage room, nowhere!

Plussat: great place, excellent service, the rooms are very cozy and you have enough space to chill... I would love to come back again.

Miinukset: I would recommend to have more personnel for check in to avoid some delays.

Plussat: All

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The bar and the staff were good, room is good as well.

Miinukset: Towels were not in the room until next day in the afternoon, we got the towels because I keep requested them

Plussat: Great place to meet new people, you can join activities and party if you want as well. There is music until late but if uwear earplugs this shouldn't be a big deal at all. Will be back!

Miinukset: The check in might be a bit slow sometimes as there are a lot o customers but is not a big deal.

Plussat: Easy to find in Bocas. Easy to book activities/transportation.

Miinukset: A bit expensive for what you get.
