Bien según el precio

Ubicación, aire acondicionado y baño limpio

No tenía agua caliente, las paredes eran una madera o cartón muy delgado y se escuchaba todo de otras piezas o recepción. La conexión de wifi no llegaba bien en la pieza.

Very Dangerous Muy peligroso Trop dangereux

Rien

ESPAGNOL : En primer lugar, el lugar está demasiado sucio porque nunca han cambiado las sábanas desde que estuve allí (1 semana). luego me quejé en recepción que me robaron $20 y después de dos días me mostraron un video donde vemos a una persona tratando de abrir las puertas a altas horas de la noche. Por último, como no es caro (el más barato de toda la isla), sólo encontramos vagabundos.... en definitiva, evitar ABSOLUTAMENTE DE VERDAD.. Français : Tout d'abord, l'endroit est trop sale car les draps n'ont jamais été changés depuis mon arrivée (1 semaine). Ensuite, je me suis plaint à la réception qu'ils m'avaient volé 20 $ et après deux jours, ils m'ont montré une vidéo où l'on voit une personne essayer d'ouvrir les portes tard dans la nuit. Finalement, comme ce n'est pas cher (le moins cher de toute l'île), on n'y trouve que des sans-abri... Bref, à éviter ABSOLUMENT VRAIMENT.

Exceptional

I cannot find words to describe how marvellous this hostel is. It seems that even a high-class hotel is inferior to twin Fin Plaza. The rooms are cosy and very spacious, with a proper number of beds. By no means there are too many bunks, reducing the space drastically and making coexistence more difficult. No, no... The windows are wisely located, and are big and functional. You could think that the absence of curtains (or anything similar) will bother you, but in that case you won´t wake up extraordinarily early and full of energy. Lockers are everywhere. In fact, their number is so ridiculously large that doors don´t have a key (forget about asking for one). Otherwise, strangers couldn´t help you to organize your luggage. Think about it for a moment: a paper wrist lace (that a non- existent guard will ask you for) is a clever and safer idea. Another great point is that you know a lot of gossip, since the walls are so tight thar you can hear load arguments and music all day and all night. One day I heard two drunk guys shouting in the distance. I am glad that my sleep was interrupted to listen to them. Although the check in is at 12:00, we could not enter until 13:00. It was nice. For sure is the cause of the brightness of the floor. Thanks to that delay, we started thinking about our daily problems. My friend was even able to reconcile with his brother, with whom he had not spoken for 2 years. But the best of all is the bathroom. There is a toilet in every corner, and they are incredibly clean, also the floor and the roof. You will feel comfortable inside. In relation to the shower, the warm water works perfectly, increasing or decreasing its temperature in less than 1 second. Under no circumstances would you find used and prehistoric brushes or soaps, which have not been retired by workers. I will recommend this place to everybody who wants to live great experiences. Don´t doubt, please. (Greetings to our roomates from Britain, Denmark and Switzerland).

DO NOT GO THERE!!!!

Nothing at all

To start the whole place smells so bad you have to hold your breath till you get to your room, this is if you are on the second floor otherwise everything will smell like rotten dog food. Let's not even talk about the kitchen, dirty, smelly, gross and with hostel staff cooking in there all day smelling disgusting and I mean the staff was smelling bad. During our 7 days stay no cleaning of any type was seen from us, including toilet paper bin. Also very annoying was the fact that there is no wi-fi, we stayed a whole week and we had to leave the hostel to connect to any other place's WiFi. When asked about it the very unhelpful and rude staff absolutely ignored the complain, days after when asked again why their WiFi wasn't working they said they knew but no one was really gonna look into it. On check out the brunette latina that is usually at the front desk was rude enough to say "bye have a good day, looks like you're gonna need it" I think that's enough!

Cheap, you pay for what you get

Price quality ratio is ok

The room even though the dehumidifier was on all time it was really damp , bedsheet very thin, bathroom bin it was full after 3 days, clearly has not been emptied, spider webs on the corridor from God knows when, kitchen half functioning, other guests store my cheese,no locker in the room, neither room key. No storage place in the kitchen.

Might have gotten unlucky with the dorm but it was a disaster

Cheap Good location Staff was nice and helpful Laundry service

They forgot to put sheets in my bed and I got back in the middle of the night so had trouble notifying anyone. Got woken up every morning by one of the women in my dorm screaming on the phone? I think she lived there but not sure.. Weird vibes. Stuff was all over the place in the bathroom and beds. Only one key for the whole dorm so kept getting locked out even in the middle of the night.

I won't return

Location. Staff.

bed bugs ! Unkept. Not enough cutlery or plates/pans for the amount of people in the hostel. One small fridge for hostel guests packed with stuff. Very little room for 10 people in our dormitory. No lockers. Lounge area consist in a very old sofa and two tables with benches.

Superb

Location is really good, the island is pretty small but still it is like 3 mins walking from the boat taxy. Breakfast is enough and delicious. Rooms are clean. Kitchen is big enough. They let us stay a little longer after the check out time.

Most of the Staff need to be nicer! Nobody seems to like working there , and they don't give a crap about it, they are a little rude and annoyed by something. One day there was no breakfast at 8 or 9 ... (it is supposed to be from 8 to 10). Check in is supposed to be from 12 , we arrived at 2 and they didn't have the room ready.

Very good

The place is in a very good location, and it's not expensive. The staff, especially Mathias and Carlos, are very friendly. Very nice breakfast as well, for a friendly price. Each room has its own bathroom and the day I stayed there was nobody else inside.

Not a lot of place for chilling, no outside areas. No toilets outside of rooms (in case you check out but want to hang out for a while). No daylight in the room, and mine was next to a laundry (or something similar) - quite noisy during the night. Otherwise, a good solution for a short stay.

Absolutely not reccomended

Good location. Central. Great aircondioning

I had a very bad expirience. Staff weren't helpful. When I wanted to pay with credit card the guy wanted to take 10% extra. Twice a staff member entered my room, saw me and left immediately. One of the times was at 1:30 at night. Very strange and made me feel unsafe. The pillow was dirty, room was dirty, the toilet seat was broken, totally out of place.

Was very satisfied overall.

The volunteer staff were all very friendly, helpful and attentive. The hostel is in a good location, close to everything but away from the noisiest areas. They did a good job of keeping the place clean. Great value for the price.

The room was small. The bed was okay, but had a hole in the center. Pillows not very comfortable.

Great value and in the heart of Bocas Town

Wow brilliant value- for around $22.50 a night we were getting a private room with a bathroom (with hot shower!) AND aircon- which was far cheaper than two dorm beds elsewhere and ten times better! The staff were really friendly and we really enjoyed being so close to everything in Bocas town that we stayed an extra two nights on our original stay.

Only thing is occasionally the WiFi didn’t quite reach the room well, but seems like a minor issue compared to all the good points :)

Pleasant

Location was good

The electric hot water shower (known as a suicide shower around the world) started smoking while using it. The staff had said they knew about it and thought it had been fixed. Luckily no injuries or death. Unplugg the suicide shower before use in my opinion
