Прекрасный хостел в Букете
Pros:

Прекрасное место и его месторасположение. Очень комфортно, много путешественников и много развлечений. Номера чистые и очень удобные. Ночевала в бочке - отличный опыт.

Cons:

К сожалению возникли проблемы с бронированием и удаленно никто не отвечал, ни через букинг, ни по номеру телефона и по электронной почте. К самому персоналу на ресепшен вопросов нет - они были очень услужливы и сразу решили проблему. Но для этого потребовалось до отеля доехать. На расстоянии ничего не решается

Definitely stay here
Pros:

Free beer every night, free breakfast, free coffee and water all day, big portions of food, engaging volunteers who accompany on hikes and run activities. Especially Becky, who even told me that her favourite hike with the hostel was because of me. Comfy beds, plenty of showers. Good place to meet people and make friends. There is also a supermarket nearby if you want to cook for yourself. They leave the kitchen open all night, most hostels close their kitchens in the evening.
I definitely recommend the waterfalls hike.
The hostel also does free yoga twice a day, I didn't do it, but many others did.

Cons:

They don't accept cash at all. Paying on cards incurs a small fee, not a lot but it does add up eventually. Confusion around signing up for hikes. You have to pay right away which is fine, but when asked if I would get a full refund if the hike is cancelled, the bar person told me "it's complicated," just a slight communication improvement is needed. However you only need two to sign up so you should be fine. The hammocks weren't very comfortable.

Hermoso, divertido y hogareño
Pros:

El lugar es excepcionalmente lindo, el personal es muy amable y atento. Además siento que como hostal cuidan a sus huéspedes con detalles como cerveza gratis una hora del día, consejos sobre tours, desayunos familiares y tardes divertidas de juegos de mesa o karaoke. Todo esto sin perturbar el descanso y el silencio en las habitaciones.

Cons:

Lo que quizás sugeriría es que las actividades se hagan también en español, ya que todo era en inglés y Panamá es un país de habla hispana, por lo que se debería privilegiar el idioma local
