Pros:

Ongelooflijk dat je dit krijgt voor de prijs die we hebben betaald. Het is prachtig, er zijn dagelijks activiteiten, soms worden er gratis drankjes gegeven en de sfeer is geweldig. De ruimtes zijn prachtig. Er zijn dagelijks Wandelingen, yoga sessies, deals voor eten en drinken, wij zijn verbluft door deze accommodatie.

Amazing spot in Boquete!
Pros:

We loved this hostel! They put a lot of effort into organizing tours and events every day and it results in a very social atmosphere (without being too much loud partying).

Cons:

No aircon in our room but had a nice fan so it wasn’t too bad. The live music they put on was really good but so loud that no one could really talk and socialize from 7pm one of the nights we were there

Beste hostel in Panama
Pros:

Top locatie, top personeel, top faciliteiten en activiteiten. Alles is super goed geregeld en het klopt gewoon allemaal. Er zijn genoeg mogelijkheden om anderen te ontmoeten en gezamenlijk dingen te ondernemen. De hele dag gratis koffie, drinkbaar kraanwater en super hygienisch.

Niets

10/10
Pros:

One of the best hostels I’ve ever been to - the staff and facilities are great, food in the restaurant is delicious and a good price. There is loads of communal space for relaxing and enjoying the hostel. Organised activities each day which would be great for solo travellers. Room very comfortable and cleaned each day.

Cons:

It was all great!

100% recommend
Pros:

The setting of this hostel is the highlight, the river running through and the gardens make it is delightful place to spend time. The activities are consistent and well organised. The bar is reasonably priced with good daily specials. The kitchen is big and well stocked.
The pods and novel and the bed is comfortable. The bathrooms and clean, with toiletries provided.
Free breakfast is provided (but we didn't take part).
Well located in town for everything you need, especially the big supermarket over the way.

Cons:

Sleep in the pods was very warm, especially as a couple.
Communal kitchen is messy, but that is down to the other guests more than the hostel staff.
