It feels like a hotel - pure luxury hostel vacation! Stayed in a 4-bed dorm first which had quite a big bathroom. Every bed has a curtain so you have your privacy despite sharing the room and also an own ventilator, plugs and a little shelf.

Bambuda Lodge is the PERFECT place to stay if you're looking to relax, have fun and connect with other people. Stop looking for other places because you won't find anything better, just book it. The views here are absolutely fantastic, the staff is so welcoming and friendly and they're going to make your life heaven. Victor, Sebastian, Marco and all the people working here will make you want to extend your stay and come back! The food options are always varied, reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. The drinks are also great and they have Happy Hour with different stuff daily, along with daily activities every day. If you like always exploring, you will have to pay for the boat to other islands every time($5 to the main island one-way) so it can easily build up on the cost, but it's the same in all area. This place is remote so take that into consideration when setting up your expectations for that. If you like touristic areas full of resorts, restaurants and stuff nearby, this is NOT for you. If you want to chill, stay in a remote place and feel its magic, then this is IT!

The food was amazing. To walk out of your room each day to a welcoming staff with great food and drink choices was incredible. Plus, the views from Aqua Lounge are top tier. The swimming too - everything about our stay was great!

The atmosphere there was great! Things to improve: electric plugs on each bed (just one or two in each room for 4 people) , and bigger places to accommodate your belongings (small lockers in the public hall)

Reliably hot showers, roof top seating, and complimentary coffee will always win me over. Private room even had a mini fridge and aircon which is quite luxurious by hostel standards.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location and if you like to party it is the perfect spot to meet new people. Also, everyday new activities and you should make sure to be at the Filthy Friday party (everyone around is coming and the whole hostel is packed!).

    The location is perfect, just one min away from Bocas town. The hostel got a lot of potential, keep in mind is a party hostel so it's very loud, but if you are looking to meet new people this is the right place.
