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.
