Super friendly staff, some are very helpful and some are a bit to relaxed for European standards. The rooms are very comfortable and very clean. The hostel is on the island Bastimentos, just 5 min. walk to the beautiful beach "red frog". They offer several tours everyday, which I can highly recommend. Especially the snorkeling at 3 different spots incl. the Mangroves where stunning and the Night Walk with Tomer very interesting. I can highly recommene this hostel if you look for a relaxing time (and not a party).

There are certain times, when you can shower. So for e.g. from 4 to 6 pm. So if you do a tour, it can happen, that you return after 6 pm and are not able to shower until 8 pm. I understand the reason to save money, but the times are not ideal. Or at least it should be able to shower by the pool. There is even no water to wash your hands. A bigger variety of food. The Menu was quite small and then, not all menus very availablw.

The staff at the reception was great they gave us an upgrade to a tipi tent that was fantastic and they were always willing to help.

At arrival we discovered that there is a water cut off for 3hours during the day and then at night. The restaurant is not good, food is very average expensive most of the time they had shortage of some of the ingredients but we still had to pay full price and the service was very slow. The only exception was the welcome drink which was delicious.

We reallllly like staying in the teepee hut here! We spotted all kinds of wild life; monkeys knocking on our door, parrots iguanas and other kinds of birds in the trees in front of our hut and a lot of strawberry dart froggys on the porch. It was amazing. Also the tours they offer and book for you are amazing. You should really do a nighttour with Tomer, we saw so many new and amazing animals, like anteater, snakes, scorpions, nightmonkeys etc. Also swimming in bioluminence was AMAZING! Food in the restaurant was okay, but there could maybe be a little more breakfast choice. The vibes and music is amazing and the location (close to red frog beach, but also polo beach!! is very good). We had 4 amazing days here and could of stayed longer.

The only thing that bottered us was the pool, it wasn't really clean. So we didn't swim in it once, luckily there was beach :)

We wanted a Bocas option that was not a hostel, was at / near the beach, a bit calmer and relaxed... Selina Red Frog is mostly all of those things! We loved the location, we opted for a paid tour to Zapatilla - but much preferred our 40 minute walk out to Polo Beach instead (different days). We found the grounds to be serene, and the front desk staff (and yoga teacher, Orien!) to be awesome! Having a Whatsapp group on arrival was a great idea!

The food service was slow - we were overlooked multiple times, while sitting at the bar waiting on pizza. Breakfast was slow too. We went to a different spot - walking distance - the second day as a result. We found we had quite a few things to pay for (water taxi, day trips, etc.) on top of our higher room (hostel rooms much cheaper of course).

The staff are mostly very friendly, and the space is beautiful. The food, not as good as the nearby Palma, but a few dishes stand out. The 'teepee' was an absolute treat to stay in, with monkeys coming to visit in the mornings.

The only little note I would leave with Selina RF would be to improve check-in punctuality. 15:00 is already a late check-in hour, and we had to wait another hour + both times we stayed there, getting to our rooms after 16:00. Then being reminded about 11:00 checkout quite punctually...

I liked the hostel, it was very chill, lots of green, right in the jungle and near the beach. The location is great if you're lookingt for beach and jungle. I wasn't sure where to stay cause there were so many options in many islands but I'm glad I stayed there. Bastimentos island and especially that area is really nice. Bocas del toro is way too busy for me and there's no nature, just streets. There's a water taxi that make it easy to go places. In reality I was looking forward to chillin only, hostel beach (I didn't go to red frog beach per se), hostel drinks that's it. The room (privtae room) was AMAZING. Was sort of a treehouse, had AC, the bathroom was amazing, the shower had a wall/big window looking at the jungle. Beautiful place, good food at Selina, had a great time. The hostel does salsa nights and activities as well

All good

Short walk to beautiful Red Frog beach. Lots of red frogs and other animals. Various nature activities including walk to Caiman lake and beach cleanup. Daily beach volleyball. Beautiful 🥰 🥰 Polo Beach only 40 min walk. Great snorkeling spot. Free beach snorkeling! Good food in the restaurant and good grocery store close by. Selina water taxi to Bocas Town.

Kitchen refrigerator was small for the number of users. Sometimes in the evening there was no shower water upstairs, but an hour later it was back. The dogs tended to be left alone by the owners so they were always in the common area doing dog stuff.

We loved the junble access. Saw monkeys at the bar and a sloth outsde the community kitchen. The beach was wonderful. Other restaurants were available but there was no small convenient store. Most of the staff was super.

The one girl at the bar was not very nice and many other guests noticed it too. Often rolling her eyes, never greeting people or acknowledging them as they arrived. Looked like she hated her job.
