Me and my boyfriend lived in Costa Rica for a year and every 3 months had to leave to renew our visas. As such we always went to Bocas Del Toro and stayed at Casa Verde. The place has a fantastic atmosphere that is very relaxing and upbeat. It has a dock leading right to the water which could not... More

Right on the water! Great view, security, atmosphere, service, and night life. Convenient by boat, car, or walking. Management does a really good job of taking care of customers. I love this place.

To really enjoy Bocas del Toro you need several things - first to stay right on the water, and second to be in a fun, relaxed place. You get both at Casa Verde - and for a good price. My room was a private one upstairs, away from the activity. But for socializing there's a bar and restaurant right there... More

Frankly, I almost don't want to write this review because I want there to be room at Casa Verde next time I am in Bocas del Toro. So please everybody, don't jump on a plane and go there after you read this. Casa Verde is the only hostel on the water in Bocas Town. Aqua Lounge is on the water... More

Wow what a place! Almost seems like a dream looking back on it - any poor reviews are certainly written by some "odd" types. The music is excellent - I saw world class Jazz, Singer Songwriter, and a cover band who could play exact (and I mean EXACT) versions of songs in 3 different languages. The GM, Kristin, and the...

I stayed at Casa Verde for about a week on my travels, and loved my time there. I found myself recommending it to other travelers more than almost any other hostel on my trip. I loved the location, the staff and guests, and the overall atmosphere. It seems to me that many of the negative reviews here are based on... More

Great food, friendly staff comfortable dorms and amazing live music. What more could you ask for??? I arrived in good fashion during peak season and was put into a dorm with 5 bombshells from Argentina. Even after I found more permanent accommodations on Solarte I still frequented Verde daily for food and live entertainment. I met numerous musicians eager to... More

I thought that this place would be a decent hostel. With all the hostels in Bocas Town, I chose this one. I wish that I chose another one. At least, when I walked by the other ones, I could see the people sitting in a relaxed area. Casa Verde, on the other hand, did not have a nice lounge area.... More

We stayed in the dorm downstairs next to the bar for 1 night, and it was a nightmare. The dorm was dirty and loud (there was a mouse in our room), and the walls are paper thin, so you can hear everything from the entire hostel, including couples from the private rooms...the dorm is so overpriced for what it is...
