Very clean, well-organized, and cozy place to stay. Just a few minutes’ walk from downtown, yet quiet because it’s not right in the center. Excellent kitchen and fridge with everything you need to prepare snacks or meals. Several grocery stores are only a few minutes away as well. Very good coffee available all day!
I’m a solo female traveler and felt very safe. I booked a room with a private shower on the lower level.
Thanks for a great stay — I’ll definitely be back!

We used Boca as a base to explore. The place is small but comfortable beds, full kitchen in our unit and a full shared kitchen across the hall. Air conditioning is quiet and powerful. Power outlets by every bed. Erica the manager is very friendly and helpful. The daily rate is unbeatable. A good supermarket around the corner. We stayed 4 nights. Consider take the bus and do the bat cave.

One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at. Affordable, clean, beautiful, welcoming hosts, and a very cute resident cat. Free coffee. Comfortable beds. Close to everything in Bocas Town. Hot water, although we had some trouble keeping the shower a constant temperature. However this really didn’t detract from our awesome stay!

It’s decent. Nice coffee, full kitchen, alright rooms. The shower wasn’t the best and the doors had massive gaps all around. It was comfortable enough but nothing to be ecstatic with. It was quite nice that the bins were changed daily and swept I believe too, so felt clean and looked after
We had a good two nights at Surfari. The place is new and you can see it in a very positive way. It is also being run by Europeans, which you can also see - the visuality of the place and furniture etc. is a lot better than in many places around here. The guy running the place is very positive and friendly and eager to help. The double room is clean, new and basic - there is not too much extra but there is a decent bed, a very nice new a/c, and a shower with hot water.
Breakfast is served on the roof terrace and is basic and ok. Some fresh fruits, pancakes and toast.
The area seemed to be more peaceful and quiet than some other parts of the town, and it is a short walking distance to everywhere in the town.
All in all I can recommend the place.

Would’ve been a 5/5 for sure. The area is nice, the staff is nice. Everything is clean and felt very safe the entire time.
The downside however… Our room was in the corner next to the stairs, and for some reason whenever anyone in the entire upstairs would turn on the water, you could hear what we assumed was the water pump. It wasn’t quiet or in the back ground. It had a really loud high pitched noise and would go on for a long time, changing tones and turning on/off randomly. It doesn’t let you sleep through the night and you’re getting up with whoever decides to turn on water first (usually around 5am in our experience). I’m sure any other room would be quieter and nice but I feel bad for you if you’re stuck in room 15 or 25.
Naja Zimmer war nochmal ausgestattet aber alles sehr dürftig eingerichtet. Ich habe null wohl gefühlt. War auch sehr laut zur Nacht, ruhezejt wurde nicht eingehalten. Bin 1 Tage früher abgereist, weil ich nicht mehr ausgehalten habe
