We took the overnight bus from Panama City to Bocas (which was the worst idea I've ever had in my life), so we arrived very early. We asked the girl from reception if we could do an early check-in because we couldn't sleep for the whole night, but it wasn't possible at that time, so she helped us by accommodating us in the movie room so that we could sleep till it was time to check in, which we absolutely loved and are grateful for.

The bathroom is too small, there needs to be more space to hang our wet clothes to dry. Also, the kitchen utensils, such as the pans and spatula are deteriorated and there was only one spatula available.

The cowork space was good. The internet was strong and the AC worked well. The staff were really nice. I complained about all the noise and asked to switch to the other Selina Red Frogs property and was very thankful they let me switch halfway through my stay!

The place is a full on party hostel. It was very loud and difficult to sleep. I knew I was in trouble when I saw that earplugs were provided on the bedside table. The music blasted until 2am most nights. I was expecting more remote work people but most of the guests appeared to be young partiers. Not my scene.

Loved the location, room was clean, aircon worked great. Nice clean shared kitchen, and great social areas. Lots going on and easy to book tours 🙌

Welcome drink could be a little more social

Rooms had a lot of space, kitchen was nice but could have more utensils, there was only one knife for cutting. Nice welcome drink and lots of activities, although you can get the tours cheaper from the guides on the street

No towels provided which for the price paid I would expect them to be included

We love our room 214 nice view tinny but perfect for the price, would be nice to let us know we needed to bring our own towels. We enjoy our stay

Check in it’s so late for the flys time in the area, hear some bad stuff from hostal shared room but I guess you get what you paid for, other than that we enjoy the stay. It’s a party area so it’s very noisy.

really good location in town. For quiet nights avoid a room facing the street because it can be loud at night.

Communication about water shortage. I do completely respect the situation on the island but communication is key. This was our first Selina experience and we expected just a bit more because the price for Selina hostels are above average. It’s a huge company and providing a bottle of water for your customers to brush teeth would’ve been appreciated. @front desk: a warm welcome is always fun when you arrive after a long journey 🤗

great location, very good common spaces, staff is friendly and helpful. They are flexible and willing to help with everything. A lot of activities and great place to meet people. Matress are confortable

Could be a bit cleaner, noisy at night although the party stops at around midnight. Food and tours are a bit pricier than in other places around the island

Nice staff

A bit pricy

location, flexibility and the staff was very friendly

our room was a little messy, wall painting had signs of use and the bathroom door was broken. i was expecting a big party as usual but since they changed from disco nights to restrobar its a little bit boring :(

The location and the private shower!

Wifi did not work well in our room and the bed sheets were dirty...

The easy access to the taxi boat to get around the island. The accomodating staff.

The kitchen did not have enough if any cutleries at all. Sink was blocked most of the time and utensils were damaged with broken stove. The noise from the parties was way too much unless you want to sleep at 4am.

if you wanna party its your place. good central location. chilled terrace. security is good.

noisy at night due to long and loud party next door. open kitchen but not everything was working.

Nice kitchen location, just need an easy access from the CoWork building. Party night is nice. CoWork space is awesome. Easy access to water taxi.

Couple of restrooms per single floor, too much people in rush hour 😬.

bed bugs

Comfortable bed. Hot water. On the waterfront.

Some staff were talking to you while they were watching videos on their phone. No smiling or customer service awareness? Pricey and housekeeping could be more frequent due to number of guests.

The fact that it was on the water, but half places in Bocas del Toro are on the water

The room was not livable. There was no water in the shower, and they sent us to shower in another room that hadn't even been cleaned. The A/C was barely working and made a loud noise all night that didn't let us sleep; it was even leaking in the room so the floor flooded by the morning. It is supposed to be a place where the Internet connection is good and stable but it wasn't; I had to go buy an additional prepaid phone to connect with online data to work. Overall, one of the worst experiences I've had in hotels/hostels. I generally stay in Selina places regularly. This one is not worth the extra money!!

amazing view from my balcony and from the bar. good trips and activities. staff cooking facilities. my room.

online check in didn’t work (error message).

Location

Room really small

Pretty much in the centre of town in the main island and very close to all the resturants/bars. You're also able to take a water taxi to the other islands right from Selina's Dock. As with all Selinas, the setup is pretty standard....bar/restaurant available though slightly overpriced for what it is.

NOISY - This was a Selina so I came fully expecting it to be noisy though this place is crazy?! The music isn't turned off until 4.30/5am and some dorms (including the one I stayed in) back onto the bar/dance area. Impossible to sleep Cleanliness - The place is perpetually dirty. Don't think I ever saw any cleaners around the place whilst I was there. The dorm was filthy too with rubbish and used tissues (can't flush in Panama) left for days, plus clothes from people who'd already checked out and left.
