“A quiet, older hostel on the waterfront”
+We were there in low season, so it was quiet. There were just 2-4 other people at the hotel, so we had the nice terrace with hammocks and sunbeds for ourselves. The location is central with its own pier and shops and restaurants nearby.
−Our room was really small and dark and there was nowhere to dry or hang clothes. The kitchen wasn't the cleanest, so we had to wash the dishes both before and after using. There was no warm water.

+Location and hang out area were fabulous. We enjoyed our stay there.
−The room was quite hot and there was only a fan and no air conditioning. Also no mosquito nets in the window so didn't feel we could leave it open at night.

+Location was very good, not too noisy
−The rooms were so hot, the fans location should have been on the opposite wall, the mattress was very worn

“El mejor lugar donde quedarte en bocas.”
+Repetimos alojamiento porque la experiencia fue excelente. El dueño fue un encanto. Compartimos vivencias con él y nos contó historias de la zona y su cultura y fue maravilloso. Nos ayudó con los traslados, con las recomendaciones. Hicimos con ellos un tour precioso que disfrutamos muchísimo. Y el alojamiento impecable y muy cómodo.

“El alojamiento perfecto en bocas del toro.”
+La localización es espectacular pero lo que más me gustó fue el dueño del hostal. Un hombre extraordinario, con el que compartimos conversaciones preciosas y nos contó y mostró su cultura. Sin duda volveremos al hostal. Todo súper limpio y aseado, muy cómodo. Reservamos un tour precioso que nos enamoró a un precio fantástico. Y con todos los botes nos ayudó el dueño y fue muy fácil moverse todo el tiempo. Nos puso todas las facilidades que necesitábamos y nos ayudó mucho.
−Todo perfecto.

+Você fica em uma palafita em cima do lindo mar de Bastimentos, ouvindo as ondas, sentindo a brisa, com passeios de barco saindo da própria pousada. Tudo isso bem no meio de Old Bank, um vilarejo apaixonante. Cozinha bem equipada, Jaguar e sua equipe são muito simpáticos.
−Durante o dia o quarto fica um pouco quente, mas tudo bem, podemos ficar nas redes na varanda, se não quisermos ir à deliciosa Wizard Beach.

“Unzureichend”
+Der Gastgeber war bemüht aber nicht sonderlich entgegenkommend.
−Das Umfeld und die Lage waren sehr unangenehm. Bis spät in die Nacht extrem laute Musik. Die Dusche war lediglich ein Schlauch, der aus der Wand kam. Sehr viel Müll um die Unterkunft herum und Einheimische, die einem direkt Drogen angeboten haben. Wir sind bereits nach einer (schlaflosen) Nacht abgereist.
