Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Wonderful hosts who made the stay for us. Can’t recommend it highly enough, they go out of their way to ensure you have an amazing time. Free tour on the first day was excellent. Comfortable with a great location. Go and you won’t be disappointed!

Warm atmosphere, i really love it, middle of the portobelo, where you Can easily take a boat to Colombia, or making kayak in the mangrove, or just relax, its perfect for your futur nights expérience. If you are in couple, also a bedroom available !

    The deck upstairs is amazing, and the family who owns the hostel are great! It's a basic accommodation, but felt very safe, is run by good people, and was a good value.

    Hostal was good value for money. Said it was 10 dollars online and they charged me 11 dollars per night. Wish they could get the advertising straight but owell. Kitchen is very small and not well organized for the amount of beds. Lovely view of port and the jungles. Cute jungle trail directly behind hostel. Lots of local hook ups and connections and Alexa and Su are very welcoming and make you feel at home. 2 dogs on the property make a wonderful welcome party
