Boquete is one of the lost awesome towns to visit in Panama. Full of outdoor adventures. Our hostel was perfect, and the staff was friendly and always willing to give us advice on activities and restaurants. We will definitely be back

Great Place, Great staff, Great Value
Thisnplace is great. Staff are fantastic and the facilities are good. We had a basic room with shared bathroom and, although the rook was small, it was great value for money. The reception/owner is fantastic and cery friendly and helpful. The kitchen is eell equipped and supermarkets and market are all close. The location is good and Boquete is wonderfully easy to get around and feels very safe. Highly Recommenld this hostel Pls not there is no daily housekeeping or Netflix (the Hotels website is not accurate)

Independence Day was disappointing. The manager, trying to make extra money, opened the toilets to general public attending Parade, for a fee. It meant no one in hostel had access to bathrooms. It was an added noise and mess. This went in from 9:00 am - 8:00 pm. Otherwise my stay was great. Lovely gardens, quiet, helpful staff

Very close to everything important in the city: the bus station that takes you to the hikes or to David, the 24h grocery store. The staff is always happy to help you if you have questions about activities nearby or recommendations for restaurants.

It’s important to know that this hostel is cash only! They do not accept credit cards! I didn’t stay in the dorm; I had a private room room. The room was very basic, yet nice. The dorms appeared nice as well. I had a shared bathroom, and that was clean as well. The staff was extremely friendly, and they cleaned constantly. This hostel is near the main road so it’s easy to get to everything.

Animal friendly hostel
mostly young travelers here- nice spaces to hang out inside and outside-shared bathrooms could be a problem sometimes and could have been better maintained- all in all an affordable and convenient place to stay in Boquete with very friendly and helpful staff

Close to everything. Nice garden to hang out in. The floor was dirty when we arrived. Had to ask for it to be cleaned, which they did promptly.

Wish we could have stayed longer
We had a spacious room with a garden view from windows on two sides and a wonderful breeze. The shared kitchen is well organized and very clean. The staff was so welcoming and helped us organize two tours. I would definitely stay again!

Great location and staff
I stayed in the private room with bathroom. It was basic, but really all you need and nice and clean place. They obviously take good care of it. And the grounds that it is located on were beautiful, and off the main strip, so it was quieter ( except for all the birds that would wake me each morning 😉). And the staff was so friendly and helpful. It was the low season and I was having a difficult time booking tours, especially because I was traveling alone. However, the staff were full of information and offered to help me book whatever I was looking to do. For the price, this place can't be beat!

Great place to relax. Staff were super friendly and this property was very clean. Kitchen was very big, well stocked with pots, pans, silverware, clean, and organized. There was a big back yard to relax and hang cloths. Minutes away from bus station, grocery stores, open market, and restaurants. I would stay there again.

Awesome place to stay
The hostel is located close to the center of Boquete and yet it offers peace and quiet. The room was clean and comfortable. Staf at the hotel is excellent and very helpful and the create the positive vibe with the guests. The garden is quite large and beautiful and I really enjoyed spending my time there. If you need any directions or advice on what to do any of the staff members will help you out. The kitchen is quite large and very well equipped.I had friends travelling with who picked different places to stay at and I can definetley say that if you are visiting Boquete for any reason this is the ONLY place to stay as it is simply the best. I will definetley be back.

Unterkunft ist sehr zentral gelegen, das Personal Netz und hilfsbereit. Der Garten ist toll. Die Sauberkeit könnte etwas besser sein, die Zimmer sind auch schon etwas heruntergekommen. Insgesamt etwas teuer dafür.

Excelente hostal para descansar de un viaje a Boquete, ofrecen rides a Bocas del Toro y varios paquetes de actividades en Boquete. Al menos la habitación que escogí, no tenía conector, que es lo único que faltó. La atención muy buena.
