Bambuda Lodge is a fantastic place to stay. A special shoutout to Sheri for making the meanest and most delicious cocktails, she is a gem. The staff not only organizes tours but also makes it very easy for solo travelers to connect by hosting social events. When I visited, it was more on the younger and social side compared to some other Bambuda locations. The views are stunning, but what really struck me was the beauty of the jungle huts, which give a high-quality hotel feel right in the middle of nature. Volunteers make sure you are entertained and always have activities to join. Highly recommend and a million thanks to the Bambuda Lodge teams for making this a beautiful stay!

The owner was always available for assistance and there was always someone at the front desk/bar with a smile. The lounge/kitchen area with tables and hammocks overlooking the ocean and islands was such a nice place to relax.

The hostel is also a school for teaching spanish. The staff and owner were really helpful, and they organized daily tours! The dorm I stayed in was female and only 4 beds. I pretty much had the dorm all to myself the whole time. It's not a party hard hostel and it was exactly what I needed. The wifi was fast and I had lots of work done. The location is great, not far from everything we needed. The facility was good, everything was very clean!

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.

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.
