Bastimentos Hill Guest House

Chill place. Hammock area. Coffee in morning. Friendly host. Offers female only dorm. Good price, good location.

Bathrooms were downstairs, one with flooded floor. Building felt a bit rickety. Couldn't always get hold of staff.

more then a friendly owner, so Kind and helpful 🙏🏼 we Got an upgrade because of the Birthday of my girlfriend. He was organicing a driver for the snorkeling and pushed him to be on Time 😁

we booked an apartment and this was really a good idea - it came with a lot of space and a possibility to air the whole space in no time just by opening doors and windows kitchen has basic equipment suitable for basic needs (cooking, frying, making coffee) the staff is super nice and helpful (i. e. the damaged showerhead got changed quickly)

Bastimentos' chicken are very noisy - the Hill Guest House cannot be blamed for that of course

The owner upgraded me to my own room. Good coffee. Nice view. Grocery store is 1-2min walk.

Closest beach is 20-30min walk in mud. I had to take my flip flops off. They were building sidewalk, but that will take time. Beach was beautiful tho. Bathrooms need little bit more attention.

When we arrived, they did not have the room we'd booked. It was carnival, and hotels were all booked up. After almost 3 hours of waiting, the brother of the owner generously gave us his house at the back of the hotel! What was at first a big stressful disappointment, turned into a lovely, unique stay! We had a house with a wrap around porch, a kitchen and an outside eating area. The brother was very kind and accommodating and we had a great 2 night stay.

When we arrived, the room with kitchen and eating area that we'd booked wasn't available. It was carnival at the time, there were no other places nearby. We sat and waited for nearly 3 hours until they got us a place to stay.

The Hotel is located up a tiny hill. The pier is directly in front of the path to the guesthouse. Our room had a beautiful view. We had a tiny private balcony but we also had the 'public' balcony in front of our room.

The private balcony doesn't have any chairs or so. Also, the door doesn't lock without a key.

Enrique, the owner, is a very friendly, attentive person, who is always willing to help you out. The room was quiet big for the price we paid, had its own bathroom and the cleaninglady came by every few days to change bedsheets and towels. The dining area is very spacious with a wonderful view over the island and ocean, there are hammocks to chill, games for adults and kids and a supermarket down the stairs. We felt very welcomed and made contact with the other guests very quick

The kitchen could be more spacious and equipped, but we always managed to take turns with the other guests
