    Good for 1 night if you are forced and have no place to stay

    The 15 beds room. The beds were on 3 levels, not comfortable at all to climb until the 3rd bed...the bed sheets had stains and holes, made me feel uncomfortable. The place is old, hippie style. Good I spent 1 night, I was forced since the other hostel canceled my reservation. For the price you pay it is ok...but things can be improved (hygiene and quality of dorms).

    The staff is very friendly and helpful. The free coffee in the morning was a nice surprise. They have activities, organize trekking groups ( pay and based on donations)

    I had to move rooms because the dorm smelled terribly of damp in the walls and because you only get a ceiling fan it actually makes it worse. I told the reception I have asthma and he was more than happy to help me move to another dorm They'll need to provide a humidifier that should sort the problem out.

    The overall environment is superb with many people (back packers) from everywhere. The staff are simply super - Always there to help The wifi works great. Plenty of space to cook in the kitchen Location at the beginning of town is also good Hammocks to use Loads of space to chill out Bathroom is clean Bed very comfortable

    The cleanliness of the bathroom could improve. It was not dirty by any means but it could be better, the showers especially. The dorms could also use another bathroom.

    Met amazing people and this includes the staff of the hostel. Very friendly, accommodating and available. The location is very good, close to local food places and main hikes. The staff made sure that people respected quiet hours. Well-equipped kitchen.

    Owner said we could book a shuttle with him to boquete. On the day said the shuttle was not going to directly to boquete and instead said we should get off at the public bus stop. Tried to charge us full price for the trip despite only going 1/3 of the way

    Clean, comfortable bed, just outside of town.

    Friendly staff! Unfortunately very limited number of bathrooms for that amount of people so you basically have to wait every time. Kitchen gets really busy as well. And the Dorn had no windows which means it is always really hot with no air floatation..

    The room felt a little mildewy, especially since the bathroom floor collected water that didn’t dry. Also we were kept up all night by the continuous barking of the hostel dogs - the rooms lead directly to the common space/ outdoor area so you hear everything and everyone

    Lovely place to hang out and meet other travelers, nice kitchen and common space. It was in a great location and the staff were extremely kind and helpful with all our questions and needs. Hot water worked great in our shower as well

    The beds in the dorm seemed dingy and the double bunk bed in which we slept (right dorm, bed at the back right next to the toilet), was very instable and squeaked quite loud at the slightest movement.

    Big common area with books, tables and couch, kitchen. Nice staff, clean bathroom, lockers for valuables.

    When I booked I sent them an email asking about bikes, they asked me to text them via WhatsApp. On Instagram says free bikes for hosts, the manager told me this was not available, just renting for $3. He even told me they had e-bikes 1 week before our trip. This was the main reason I booked this place and that's why I tried to make sure they had bikes. Well, there are no bikes, the front office lady told me they don't even rent so why lying? I liked the place but this was dissapointing, I might not stay again there

    It has a nice space, dogs, kitchen and we had privacy

    The location was a bit far from the centre, however still in walking distance and they also rented bicycles for free. The room was not the best and there were lots of mosquitos because of water right next to the Hostel.

    Staff was really friendly and the Hostel had good social vibes.

    There isn't much hygiene I mean look clean but if you get close enough it looks dirty or poorly cleaned. One stove for all.

    I was surrounded by a lot of nature and a bit far from the center of the valley

    I do think loos and showers should be better kept… in all hostels, not just this one.

    The ambiance was great — a cool, no hassle, laid back feel… Really good.
