Bastimentos Hill Guest House

Much space to hang out outside bedrooms, great view over Old Bank. Hot shower!! 😍

1) We booked an apartment with kitchen. Unfortunately, there was literally only kitchen furniture, couple of plates and glasses and two very old pots :/ the host gave us an espresso cooker which helped a bit but still didn’t make up for the missing kitchen utensils. 2) The overall cleanness (especially bathrooms and common areas) could be improved. 3) polyester sheets. Generally bearable, but not with such heat and humidity. 4) the damn cockerel under our window starting off at 4 am every day I’m aware it is a hostel so we didn’t expect 5*, but we still paid 70 $/night.

hammocks

A pleasant friendly place to stay with a good, clean, kitchen.

There was quite a bit of refurbishmet taking place, but it was moving quickly, so should soon be finished.

Hamacks were fun, spent on them an hour instead of breakfast 😂

Staff were super friendly and Enrique was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable about things on the island.

Due to very few tourists I had the 4-bed dorm to my own. A/C in the dorm. Quiet in the night.

The kitchen is not very well maintained and there was no fridge to use when I was there. There is still some work going on (during the day) to improve (enlarge?) the already big Hostal.

Staff friendliness, easygoing, and the location!
