Bastimentos Hill Guest House

Very friendly hotel owner, with great views from the common areas.

It's located in the town, near a shop and restaurant. View is beautiful - you see bay and colorful houses.

Room was equipped with an old ventilator so loud, that it was impossible to have it on, the wall between our room and the other one was not complete - there was a hole in the corner. Shared bathrooms are very small, dark and sinks seemed to be falling off the wall. From the shared balcony you could see some rubbish lying in the bushes next to the building. It's just better to pay a bit more, but have a nicer accommodation on the island.

Very bad WiFi

Great staff! Enrique and his family are great hosts and are actively trying to make Bastimentos island an even better destination for visitors. Atmosphere is the nicest we had in Bocas! Wizard is one of the most beautiful and relaxing beaches in the archipelago (they are building a new track that should make it much easier to reach it). Big room with a nice air conditioner

Having to take the boat back and forth everyday with our 1 year old daughter was a bit tiring and expensive. Even though the village is cleaner than other islands we have been to, there is still a fair amount of trash laying around (many locals are raising awareness of this issue, though, and I am sure the situation will improve soon). .

We had a very nice room with kitchen. The owner gave us plenty of tips of what to do and can also organize tours.

They told us that our room had a problem and said they want to cancel. However with the support of the Booking.com they gave us an upgrade to an other room.

this place feels more like a home than a Hostal. Enrique is a very nice a knowledgeable guy. At his place are growing so many different fruits, it was just amazing.

I liked the veranda and other common places equipped with hammocks, books, games... There is space in the back of the house where there is a grill a pool table (didn't use it as I couldn't find the equipment). Everything is very cozy and well thought out. It could almost be a perfect backpackers/travellers getaway place if it wasn't for the omnipresent garbage all around. I don't mean just around the guesthouse but the whole island. It's fast becoming a garbage heap with all the waste a moderen human produces nowadays...and it is just being thrown on the floor, into the water, under the houses, into the bushes, trees...

The kitchen is basic which is OK but it is used by many but only cleaned by few. Perhaps some more cleaning utensils and more dishes would be helpful in keeping it operational and hygienic. Again... The garbage is all around the island. Everywhere. There is a transport fee to and fro the island for persons. I guess the same goes for garbage and nobody wants to pay to transport it off or recycle it. So it just stays on the island, in the water around the island. Today's person produces much more garbage than one used to. It is mostly in the form of various plastics and aluminum cans from what I can see walking around the island. This can all be changed with very little effort. Most of the garbage are valuable recyclable material.

staff is really nice I had a free upgrade to a private nice room I could see trees and birds from my bed hammocks sunset view from the guesthouse

I missed some more equipment on the kitchen, such as something to boil water I had expectations of going to Red Frog by walking, but it wasn't possible cause of the trail conditions, but there are other nice walks around Bastimentos

Everything was perfect, besides the kitchen that is too small if there are many guests. I highly reccomend the place! Was great

The common area is beautiful, it has a kitchen to use and enough space to relax. The location is great, right in the center and the view overlooking the town is amazing. We got a free upgrade for our room, thanks!

The room wasn't so clean, there were no lightbulbs so no light in the livingroom and kitchenarea in the room. The bed could have been a bit more comfortable.
