    The hostel doenst have any hammocks and the kitchen was dirty. Pool didn't look the same as in the photos and toilets were quite worn out. With some small improvements it would be a really nice place.

    Really clean dorm with comfy beds and Aircon. Nice location little bit out of the main square. Cute cats and really nice staff. Good for couple nights. You can order dinner from the lady working there.

    The bathroom was not clean, for example the shower head was very moldy. no soap and the smell in the room also was moldy. Pool area dirty.

    Located next to the sea with a wonderful view just a few meters away from the center of the town

    There is no real common area, even though there is a pool which feels refreshing and nice, the surroundings aren't nice and there is no confortable way to hang out around. Overall it isn't very clean nor confortable.

    Because you are close to the Sapzurro dock and people start working early it can be a bit noisy early in the morning. Nothing that bothered us too much though.

    Oda, the owner, was amazing! The location was super nice. Beds were comfortable.

    It was a wonderful stay, I enjoyed it very much. The location was gigantic - right on the beautiful, crystal clear sea (even with its own house reef). The owners were incredibly nice and hospitable: I got my laundry done for free and I could borrow their snorkels every day. What a warm family and what a heavenly beautiful place!

    Sapzurro is a beautiful place and the location of the hostel is perfect. Close to beautiful beaches even across the border with Panama. You can do some hiking with beautiful views and also the snorkeling is very nice. In town there are a few shops and restaurants.

    The lock on the door was a bit flimsy and the AC remote stopped working in the night but both of these things weren’t great issues!!

    The host was so lovely and amazing and the view out the door was amazing!!! So gorgeous. She helped us find the waterfall and the beach in Panama. It’s also in a perfect spot for Sapzurro.

    Very noisy and the bed is uncomfortable; outdoor space is public, which isn’t clear from the listing.

    The bed was horribly uncomfortable. I have traveled the world and stayed in many different environments. I’m not too picky, but the bed wasn’t padded so the springs hurt and made it impossible to get comfortable. The pictures of the outdoor space in the listing make it seem private but we were never able to use it because there were always family or friends of the owner sitting right in front of our room. One night several men were outside the room listening to very loud music and drinking. If I were a solo woman traveling I would feel unsafe. The experience of staying there was not relaxing and was a disappointment overall. The owner is very friendly but she needs to be clearer about the room not having a private area for each room.

    the room is right on the water which was nice
