Brand New hostel, all is very clean and the beds are so comfortable... It is out of the busy town, but you have a lovely Pool where you can hang out and there is a huge kitchen also where you can cook. But dont forget to do the grocery before in town... However the best are the lovely hosts Andrea with her husband and brother Aldo, they really make you feel welcome and at home :)

Mosana Reef Garden B&B is set in Bluff Beach, 5 km from Bocas Town and 26 km from Buena Vista. Guests can enjoy the on-site bar. Free WiFi is available and free private parking is available on site.

Some units feature views of the sea or garden.

Nadia and Salvatore are the two kindest and most considerate hosts you could ever imagine, who have created a perfect little paradise tucked away in one of the best spots of the island for some peace and quiet! As soon as I booked, Nadia was already in touch to facilitate my arrival, and continued to give great me tips and recommendations all throughout my trip. In addition to wonderful hosts and a beautiful place that also includes sloths, howler monkeys, and other amazing nature right in the garden plus a little private cove, the food is also divine! Breakfast and dinner each day were really a treat. Thank you Nadia and Salvatore for the most wonderful weekend! I will definitely be coming back again :)

Hostal Hansi is in Bocas del Toro, 17 minutes' walk from El Istmito Beach. It is 50 meters from the docks.

Rooms are equipped with a safe, some offer a balcony. At the hostel or guest house, rooms include bed linen and towels.

We stayed a Hostal Hansi for 3 nights, ended up extending for 1 more night and wish we could have stayed longer here. The photos don’t do this place justice. We absolutely loved it here!! The room with the balcony was so spacious, they provided fresh towels, quick laundry services, the kitchen was just perfect and spacious! And to top it off the staff here are just so so nice! It felt like a little home for us! Also, the first place we have stayed at in a while that had hot water!! One of our favourite places we have stayed on our trip so far!

    The hostel was super cheap which was great for travellers (like us) who are on a budget. The option to rent a fan was great too although it actually wasn’t too hot at night. Loved the outside shower! It’s a little bit further out of town but only $1 for a taxi so not bad at all.

    The location is great. Right in the centre of the town but in a quiet street. Facilities are basic, but all clean and everything you need is there. Thomas, the host is such a nice guy who will help you out with all you need and infos. Such a nice place to stay and discover the area around. You have free coffee too and a nice kitchen to use.

    Great location at beautiful Red Frog Beach, good guest guidance before arrival. The food in the restaurant did taste amazing. Would not recommend booking with breakfast, the menu is limited and it ends up cheaper to order directly from the menu. The dorm itself was spacious and elegant.

    We have absolutely loved it! Mike and Sully are super nice hosts, they will take care of you, help you with tours in Bocas, transport etc. Location was perfect for us - close to the town, so you can easily go to eat something but in quiet area, with amazing waterfront views. House is beautiful, very comfortable, you can really relax there.

    We had a perfect stay at Saigon Bay B&B. Comfortable and clean rooms, amazing breakfasts, great location over the water with lovely outdoor space, we could use bikes, a kayak and snorkelling gear to explore the island. Angie and Nicolas are great hosts. Always ready to help and super friendly and attentive. We’re definitely coming back here when visiting Bocas again. Thanks for everything!

    Great location as it’s a short stroll (5 mins) to the main town but really quiet to sleep. Nice vibe throughout the building with people who like to share experiences but not a loud party hostel where no one can sleep. We had a private room with bathroom which was spacious with great water pressure and hot water. Free morning coffee was also a great touch! Who doesn’t love free coffee?! Tomas was very attentive and helpful, and was around to give advice whenever guests needed.
