Two weeks in Cataleya hostel passed quickly! Mariela is a very nice and helpful host, always trying to be there for volunteers. I stayed in the hostel during the low season, so there was not a lot of work to be done, mainly cleaning. The hostel is not very big (two dorms and three private rooms, with three bathrooms in total, a big terrace and one stairs), so the cleaning can be done in less than two hours. We had a hot shower, an equipped kitchen, excellent Wi-Fi... Everything is very close and during your free time, you can visit other islands or the attractions in the vicinity. Recommended!

I have mixed feelings about my stay at the hostel. Mariella was super nice and welcoming and made me feel appreciated. She just has to much on her plate and it came to a lot of double bookings or last minute cancellation which put the volunteers in uncomfortable situations. There was also no bike, like it was promoted on Hostelworld and no free water (you have to pay 0,25$ per 1,5 litres). The included breakfast is pancake powder that you have to mix with your own water and there is also no oil so you have to buy that as well. We did get a Tour for free. Overall, I would not do it again

I had a nice time at Catalaya Hostel, the owner is super nice and you can always talk to her if you need anything. The work was mostly just basic cleaning and doing check ins, which was super chill.

My experience at the hostel was great! I felt like home and I had a really good time. Everything was exactly as agreed, the work was easy and there was plenty of time to enjoy Bocas and its beautiful beaches. The hostel is ideally located, close to everything and to the dock where water taxis are, making it very convenient for exploring the nearby islands. Juan is a very caring person, always ready to help with anything you need. Highly recommended!

I enjoyed my stay at the hostel, i gained friends for life, atmosphere is really chill and bocas is beautiful. Hours and task are communicated and respected and the work is pretty manageable (even if you have no prior experience). Even though it can get a bit chaotic, Juan is always there if you need something. You will be sleeping in an 8 Person Mixed dorm with the guests and you will definitely need a lot of strength and patience for that. The same goes for the bathroom situation. Nevertheless, i would definitely recommend volunteering there! Gracias por todo!
