We really liked that we chose Bastimientos island as our base, as it is peaceful and quiet. The hotel is located right in the middle of the town, but it is like 5-7min walk to both ends of it. About 30min walk to Wizards beach (the only beach reachable on foot, for others you would need a boat taxi) I really liked the architecture of it, there are several ladders and it looks like it is climbing the hill :) Enrique is a friendly and helpful host and speaks English so it was easy for us to communicate. Since it was low season, I got the impression that we were the only guests there which made the experience even better. One of the highlights was chilling in the hammocks on the terrace in the evening and enjoying the view over the bay. Room is simple, but has everything we needed: a/c, warm shower, comfy bed.

Beautiful stay on Bastimentos! If you would like a more tranquil stay and aren't in Bocas to party, this is the perfect spot. I spent two weeks at Bastimentos Hill Guesthouse and couldn't recommend more! I work remotely, and Enrique kindly made sure I had somewhere to comfortably work. The wifi was stable and strong, with only one or two short power cuts during my stay.

Enrique is an excellent host, so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. He even took our children out on a fishing trip. We were upgraded to the larger room with it’s own kitchen. The hostel is in a great location, and has a dock right in front. There is a mini market right next door, and some lovely restaurants nearby.

We booked quite spontaneously after being unhappy at the much more expensive Selina Red Frog (not recommended) and got the apartment with one bedroom and a big living room with 2 more single beds. There's an open kitchen with gas stove and big fridge and a bathroom with powerful shower in the apartment. Beds were comfortable, bedroom has air conditioning and sea view. Everything was clean and decorated with some nice details. Enrique, the owner, is super friendly and relaxed, although not always easy to find him as there was no staff around most of the time (maybe different in high season). He even borrowed me his surf board, which I appreciated a lot! We really liked this sweet hostel, travelling with 2 kids 8 and 11, and we loved the vibe of Bastimentos. You can walk to beautiful Wizard Beach in about 20-30 min. And don't miss Mamis Restaurant at the beginning of the trail, fantastic food and company!

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)

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
