Would stay again if Dmitry is still the manager!

The location was perfect for our needs, walkable from the airport and very close to Bocas Docks. The room was adequate and had great air conditioning. The very best part about our stay, though, was the host, Dmitry. He gave excellent recommendations, and was generally so kind and helpful!

The beds were not very comfortable.

Convient parfaitement à l’usage qu’on souhaitait : un pied à terre pour visiter Isla colon en bus public (Playa del drag

L’emplacement est parfait. Pas loin du centre mais au calme. Dimitri le gérant est très sympathique et peut vous renseigner sur toute question.

Eau non potable au robinet dans tout Bocas del toro. Pensez à faire vos réserves avant d’arriver. Possibilité de demander à l’hôtel de vous remplir une petite gourde.

escape

location excellent, we did not have a breakfast.

The room number 13 has almost no daylight. The window face another building just 1 meter out, under the roof. And there are all aircon units there. So you must have the window closed. And use the artificial light all the time. And airconditioning to have any air. The washbasin is in the room.

Perfect for a short stay in Bocas del Toro

The location is very good to all the excursions and restaurants. My room was clean with balcony and bathroom. The owner is a kind man who is on site from early morning to late night. The food is prepared fresh as you order.

Just to let you know the bedrooms are one floor up so you have to carry your luggage

Good staff and nice place to stay

Very kind staff at the reception and we could even check-in earlier because the room was ready. He had also good suggestions for things to do.

The lighting in the room was a bit bad (but that seems to be a problem in a lot of hotels in Panama). We had a little balcony, but it was very dusty (because of the dirt road). Also no view from the balcony (but was not expected).

Lovely stay at The Lighthouse

Good sized room and well laid out Very good restaurant below Quiet at night, away from the louder centre, but a 5 minute walk from everywhere Staff are lovely

Accommodation is slightly outdated, but not really an issue Would have been good to know in advance of coming that there is a Bocas del Toro water shortage issue, so there were a couple of occasions where we couldn't use the shower and had to plan this in advance. Staff were really good at communicating this whilst we were there and water deliveries were much more punctual than other places nearby that we heard about

Nice quiet hotel in Bocas del Toro

Nice location, close to the center of Bocas Town but far enough away to avoid freaky Friday or whatever. Very quiet, comfortable bed, nice balcony.

It would have been nice to have a kitchen, since all the restaurants in Bocas were kind of pricey.

Avoid Casa Max. There are nicer places in Bocas for the same prize with sea views & good attention.

The location is convenient in a quiet area but just a few minutes walking to the most lively area. The room was clean and the balcony with hammock, table and chairs is cute to relax in the evening and see the sunset.

I suffered a food poisoning because of the breakfast at Casa Max and spent my day vomitting at the room. The breakfast is not included in the prize so I strongly recommend you to eat at somewhere else. The rooms are basic, expect no extras: Just 1 towel per person, no hooks to hang the towel, no shower gel or shampoo is provided, just soap. There´s no hot water but it´s so warm in Bocas that you won´t need it. The pressure and amount of water at the shower is a joke. If you have long hair I don´t think you can wash it properly. The attention is just bad. They don't give any infos or help. They have a bar/restaurant but I wanted to buy some water and they didn´t have. I wanted to buy a coke and they didn´t have change. There are much nicer places for the same prize with sea view and good attention.

Great 3 night stay at Casa Max, wish it was longer.

We booked this hotel for the price but were surprised at how good our stay was. We were 2 people and got the bunk bed and double bed room. The room was big and very clean, the wifi was strong and the room had a nice little balcony. The bathroom was well lit which was great for doing my makeup. The owner who was always at the front desk was super kind and welcoming and was always there to answer any questions. He let us borrow beach towels every day and called us a taxi to the airport on the last day. The walk to the airport is do-able however we couldn’t do it bc it was so hot. It was a great stay and I definitely recommend to other future guests!

When I originally booked this with my credit card, I knew I had to pay at property. When I arrived, I was caught off guard to learn that the balance had to paid in cash not card. I did have the cash to cover but it did cut into the cash budget I brought. I ended up having to take out more cash from an ATM and pay a $6.50 convenience fee which is what I was avoiding. A lot of places in Bocas aside from well established restaurants and bars only take cash FYI!

Superb

The place was very cozy and cute. Our room had a spacious balcony with a hammock, so it was very nice to chill there in the afternoon. The hostel has its own restaurant where guests have a 20% discount, however the prices are still slightly higher than in restaurants/cafés. The rooms were cleaned daily, bed was made and towels were changed, which was very nice. Nonetheless, some of the towels were old and had either holes or stains - but they weren't dirty, they smelled nice and the stains were probably from something that you cannot wash off. Also, the staff was super friendly and helpful - especially Dimitrij :)

When we arrived and checked in, our room was dirty. There was apparently a communication issue between the reception and housekeeper, which caused an inconvenience for us as we had to wait more than 30 min to have the room cleaned. As an apology we were offered drinks (sodas or beers) for free, which was a nice gesture, however nothing special - we got 1 canned cola and 1 canned beer. Another "issue" was the loudness - the whole place is kinda loud, you can hear especially noise from the street. But it's Bocas, a party town, so we didn't mind that much, what was more annoying were trucks and busses passing by.

Great stay with friendy staff.

Super friendly staff, we felt immediatly very welcomed! The room was super clean, the shower was one of the cleanest during our whole trip to panama. Also our room was large and we had two balconies

Only the noise due to water pump and barking dogs interrupted our sleep.

Good option in Bocas Town.

A friendly place well situated in Bocas Town. We liked the balcony (and I would recommend not to book a room without). Nothing special, no luxury, but also nothing to complain about.

Fridge in the room instead of in the hall would be nice.

Great little hotel, well worth a stay to explore Bocas

Quality little hotel with host Dimitry the star giving great support and advice and even set up a music evening at the bar which does good breakfast and dinner

A/C in the room almost too good (bordering on cold at 23 setting) but sure easy to balance if more used to using

Friendly and helpful owner made staying at this good location a pleasant experience.

Owner is very friendly and helpful with local advice on renting bikes and activities. Discount for breakfast for hotel guests was a plus with many breakfast item options. Restaurant was a welcoming place for ordering food and sitting with a laptop or tablet or just relaxing.

Close to the waterfront but no view from the balcony and street view from the restaurant. Small shower.
