La amabilidad en el trato, los cocteles muy ricos, las instalaciones en general cómodas, las habitaciones del castillo son muy bonitas, en general la experiencia fue muy positiva

La ubicación, el transporte público no es bueno, sale mejor pagar un poco más y viajar en taxi si lo q buscan es comodidad

Nearly everything: The rooms are nice, comfy and tidy. The pool with the bar is awesome - you can so some watersport and directly swim to your well-deserved cerveza :) The kitchen is for a hostel really spacious and clean. But most importantly: The owners and the staff are so welcoming and helpful. They even picked me up from the harbour. And there are frequent buses to get in the city.

Well, it’s 10 minutes outside the town by car/bus, so the location isn’t ideal. But it’s still 100% worth it.

awesome pool and nice comfy beds!

it’s in a isolated area

The beds had curtains. AC and fans in the rooms. You can take a bus to the beach. There is a kitchen to cook.

There was no place to hang your clothes to dry after swimming. It is far away from town so make sure to get your food from in town before you come.

The owners and the staff are really nice and helpful people and made me feel like home. Mario took me with him to see his boat and Alto gave me drives down to the center, when I needed to go there. They even reopened their kitchen, to make me a hot dog one evening when I was a bit starving.

The only thing a bit annoying was the sound of the generator, that was running 24/7. But they told me that they're currently working on that and won't have that problem in two weeks.

A very special place. Very nice room, very clean. A big kitchen with fridge, great pool and pool bar. And of course the slide in the pool is amazing. Staff is awasome. I liked the fact it is not in town, but they will provide a transport to and from the town. A great service!

The pool, the slide, the staff

The noise from the power plant, but it wasn't all that bad, I could still sleep

Adro was so great, super attentive, positive attitude, always around to help.

We had a really good time there, a lovely couple very open minded, family atmosphere.. We'd go back there any time..

I can highly recommend this place for anyone coming to Bocas Del Toro! The hosts are fantastic and so so helpful. The castle is really cool, they have lovely double rooms with private en-suites or you can stay in the dorms. There is a big kitchen which is very clean and has everything you need to cook. The pool is the star of the show, it is fantastic to spend a day by it and there is a bar that you can swim up to- we even got a welcome drink! The slide is so much fun, even for adults, it is fast and high up! It is easy to get a taxi into town and the hosts will give you lifts too. Andrea is buying a mini bus to transport guests very shortly so that will make it even easier!

- lovely people working there - great pool - good cocktails - great idea

- you're depending on the staff to get to the city (they're almost always there tough)

Andrea, her husband, and her brother Aldo are exceptional hosts. They went above and beyond to cater to my needs always with a huge smile and friendliness par excellence. The bed here is the most comfortable I have ever slept in and it's a great location to go to playa del drago and playa Estrella which are just short, beautiful bus rides away! The pool is here amazing as well! Highly recommend for any traveler considering Bocas del Toro.

unique location , comfortable, friendly and helpful staff.

This property is unique and very cool. We stayed in the castle which was a great experience. staff is super friendly. We had some car problems and the awesome hotel team helped us right away. Again big thank you and we hope to be back soon.

The location is little remote. If you have a car or scooter it’s fine, however the distances are a little far by foot.

Lovely people, unique accommodation (with a worthwhile message). Tip: bring basic supplies with you as there aren't any shops or services nearby.

The booking process via booking.com. The bookings.com system messed up my reservation and there was no interest from them to help sort it out (leaving both the hosts and I in a mess). Horrible service from bookings.com.

Andrea and Stefan were super friendly and you could tell they care a lot about their guests! The room was very comfortable and I liked the style of a castle a lot 😊 Also it's very special to be able to stay in a Guinness world record castle 😜 Everything was very clean and all the facilities, the pool, everything is really nice. Totally recommend 👍🏼

The time I was there they were repairing the street to town because of a landslide and it was quite exhausting to go into town with the bike. If you get a taxi it's OK though.

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 :)

Just be aware that the hostel is out of town and there is nothing really around... There is a bus about every half an our to town during the day and you can request a pick up from the hostel for a small charge.

The hosts are absolutely fantastic 😍 they immediately make you feel at home! They will give you a helping hand with everything! The place is in a quiet area 4km from town which makes it so nice to relax! The owners were offering me a ride to town every time they were going there and any time I needed it! The slide is fun (and scary🤣). The kitchen is huge. The entire place is spacious! Beds are super comfy!

the owners were so nice and accommodating! they will take care of you and offer rides into town free, but it’s kind to offer payment. the beds are very comfy, and each one has a fan, outlets, and a lamp attached to the wall. there are even curtains for privacy on the bunk beds! additionally, the slide is very fast and very fun and the pool is incredible.

it is not with the rest of the hostels in the city center, so that is a drawback. also, there was only myself and one other person the weekend i went, but we still had a good time.

Rooms were really clean. The owners are incredibly sweet and very welcoming. Waterslide is definitely a plus. We enjoyed our stay and will come back there!

From check-in to check-out, everything was great. Andrea and Srefan were gracious hosts. Water pressure was great. The whole pool set up was so much fun.

Fantastic staff! The family that built this place went above and beyond making us feel like family. The property is amazing and its not even finished yet! I cant wait to return here next year and see what else they've done with the place!

It's a bit off the beaten path (still only 15 minutes from town), but the plus side to that is that they offer free taxi service to all the customers that stay there. The taxi service in town is pretty bad and shuts down early on the weekdays so having someone that you can call to pick you up and take you anywhere at all hours is an amazing plus.

Superb Hostel! Dorms are spacious enough, beds are comfy, with your own reading light and fan. Large kitchen, enough bathrooms and showers and all very clean. The swimming-pool (there is a toboggan too!!) and the bar are an extra. The staff and the owners did verything to make me feel at home. It was a great choice!

The distance from town (about 5 kms) is an inconvenient, but Stephane will give you a lift whenever you need it.

One of the managers, Aldo, was an amazing friend and extremely helpful. Our group was had made an Airbnb reservation in Bocas del Toro for 4 nights beginning Feb. 13th, and upon checkin to the Airbnb, the photos and booking description were not accurate, deceptive and outright fraud. We made due with the circumstances for one night, and the next morning at 730am, after not sleeping, we called Aldo, and asked him if he could pick us up and bring us to Castillo Inspiration. He came immediately and we packed our bags and went to the hostel. We are super appreciative of Aldo, for helping us get out of a bad situation in our Airbnb, and facilitating bringing us back to the hostel. We stayed for 4 nights at Castillo Inspiration, as we were able to get good rest, which we needed as we were taking PADI scuba diving courses that week.

The hostel has recently reopened, and there are not many travelers in the hostel, so not many opportunities to meet other travelers. This will change in time though, and we look forward to visiting again when more backpackers are present

It’s an amazing place, with a really nice pool and even a pool bar. The beds are really nice, you have your own fan above your head and can charge your phone fron the bed.

The only problem is the location. It’s very far from the city and there’s nothing around. It was quite hard finding a taxi that went that way. Fortunatelly the place has it’s own car service, which drives you to and from town whenever you want.

the owners are amazing here very welcoming. the locations a bit of a drive from Bocas town but the owners and staff have no problem helping out with rides to and from the town 10/10 will stay again

Great hostel a little bit out of town but the staff will give you a ride for free anytime you need it. The stuff is so nice we became friends i am definitly returning. Otherwise really nice and clean rooms great pool and great community area! Highly recommend it!!!

The staff treat you like family here. Its a beautiful location with a great pool and bar. My time here was absolutely wonderful, I will be returning in the future.

the staff was super friendly en helpfull and made us feel welcome from te beginning. They were very positive and did everything to make it a perfect stay for us.

,Staff were super friendly, they felt like family. Water slide were amazing. The staff offered us transportation to & from town. Anything you need from town, the staff is super helpful helping you find it. 10 out of 10, i will be returning for my last night in Bocas Del Toro. I will be going scubadiving with Aldo, one of the managers at the hostel. Alcohol prices are very reasonable, cheaper than in town.

Location is a little far from town, but the hostel makes up for it with the ambient atmosphere & family vibes.
