The pool and hot tub are located indoors. The hot tub was not functioning for 1.5 days during my 3 night stay. The pool is very cool due to it not getting any sun and the cool temperatures in Boquete. The hostel is located about kilometer away from the main road that takes you to central Boquete which is another 2 kilometers away.

A beautiful, well-maintained hostel with friendly and helpful staff. Beds are comfortable and have curtains, a storage shelf, 2 electrical outlets, a reading light and an adjustable fan to provide privacy in the dorm room. The grounds are very attractive and the views of the volcano and surrounding area are very impressive. It is common to see a rainbow in the late afternoon. The staff provides nightly activities for patrons who are looking for shared activities with other guests.

it is far from the city center but I guess this is the price you pay to stay in a castle and have a great view :)

Great view and overall look of the castle, we felt like VIP's The food and drinks are good, pool and jaccuzzi are very nice

A bit of a walk to town but transportation easily available if you wish. we walked and quite enjoyed it

Very unique property. The cabin rooms were large with a seperate bedroom and sitting area/kitchenette

Stayed in March 2023

In our opinion some of the staff was not that friendly/happy. Made us a bit hesitant to ask questions or recommendations since some replied very shortly. Not a big issue, but not what we were used to compared with other hotels.

Nice place to stay, we had the hobbit house which had a lot of space and nice shower. Rooms were clean and walk to town is not that bad when you enjoy walking.

Food is average quality and not very tasty. Staff at the bar is not always very nice, smiling and willing to give you a great experience.

Beautiful Castle and location. The garden is super well taken care of. perfect view to work from the terrace. staff at the reception was great peaceful location and easy access to excursions

Bunk beds could be changed. They are shaky and a bit noisy, and the only drawback of this great hostel

Beautiful location Friendly, social place The volunteers Helpful people in the reception

The staff was really nice. The castle itself is an amazing place and the views are awesome. The food in the restaurant was good. The included breakfast was everything we could wish for. Although, there were some bugs and hair in the room and unfortunately our toilet was clocked and the room was flooded. But the staff was really helpful at all times!

the food is expensive, the social area is too small,

the most amazing thing about Bambuda castle is the view, you can see the whole mountains with the clouds above them, its location allows the wind to always flow around so it doesn't matter if it is day or night the weather is so nice.

We wanted to shorten our stay, so we made the request in advance, but they didn't want to make it, that was disappointed, the beds were unstable, creaking

good breakfast, view, pool, whirlpool, shared kitchen

Food service was a little slow

Friendly and helpful staff, beautiful setting with stunning views, comfortable, relaxed vibe

its a 45 minute walk from the Boquete town. 3-5 dollar taxifare to/from the town. you can walk 15 minutes and catch an infrequent bus. So you spend quite a bit of time at the castle - unfortunately the food in the restaurant is not very good. I would not choose this place again.

great view

Dorm was too cramped, far from town

Stayed in January 2023

if you don’t have a car and wanna go in the city for dinner, it’s a little bit far. but for trips they take care that you get picked up and everything, so no worries about that. they just have one person at the bar so at busy times you wait quite a while for your drinks, but they are really tasty. pool is not heated - I think that’s good climate wise but would be good to know in beforehand;) I don’t know about the other rooms, we just had a fan with one speed option which was either too cold or too hot (turning it off) but honestly, one can deal with that - the view is worth it.

nice place, very clean, tasty drinks, amazing view, good food, they really want you to have a good time there. there are a lot of offers so if you’re traveling alone and feel like you wanna connect with people, that’s the place to go to. we didn’t feel like that - and that’s possible too, so you can choose what I think is really good. the food was really tasty too :-)

No terrace. Very far outside, 40min - 50min walk or Taxi every time you want to go to boquete or a hike

Very comfortable room

bunk beds are noisy, it would be nice to see more sturdy bunk beds.

Beautiful location, great vibe, great hosts, great staff

Stayed in February 2023

only 1 (working) shower for all the dorms, hot water stops every minute or so, super long waiting times for the restaurant (we waited 1,5h for a toast advocado in the morning and 1,5h for a cocktail during happy hour) its 40-50min walking to town, but that you know in advance :)

super nice location, great views and the castle is nicely renovated, jacuzzi is super nice

Stayed in February 2023

Air conditioning in the unit would have made for a 10x more comfortable sleep. Super hot in there and even with windows open the wind sounds were more disruptive to a sleep than helpful in cooling.

Gorgeous spot, wonderful staff, great food and beautiful grounds. Was a good walk to town but doable and beautiful on route! Hobbit house was so cute!

Stayed in January 2023

no where to hang wet bikinis so the dorm was smelling really bad. The hostel is a little bit far from the center, so be prepared to take a taxi or walk 45 min.

felt like luxury for a backpacker. great kitchen with everything you need (except cups). Great with pool and jacuzzi!

Rain

Beautiful locations.good food at good value, near hiking and restaurants, cool town

Stayed in January 2023

Our private room was a bit of a walk from the actual castle/main facilities. Also be prepared to take taxis into town (but worth it for the beautiful surroundings).

The room was clean, the bathroom was spacious (we stayed in a private room), and the reception was very helpful. Our favorite part was definitely the view from the restaurant/patio!

Stayed in January 2023

The castle is far from the centre of Boquete and requires a 40 minute walk or a taxi for $4 each time.

There were plenty of birds and it was quiet at night.

Stayed in January 2023

The pool is a great pool but the temperature was more suited for polar bears and penguins. Also, the bartenders either didn't know how to make cocktails or were out of ingredients.

The view and the walk down for exercise. The food was good, front desk was friendly and the place was interesting.
