Nice central location with plenty of trailheads within walking distance. I loved the comfy common areas with daybeds and places to relax. There’s free coffee/tea and included breakfast, and the smoothies you can buy at reception are sooo worth it (highly recommend the Omm Mygosh)

This is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in! The staff are very helpful knowing everything about all the walks and treks. There is a kitchen upstairs and downstairs which is very convenient. The outdoor area is great to chill in and they offer yoga (for a donation) and free cooked breakfast in the mornings. Lastly my favourite part is there’s quite a few friendly dogs around which is my heaven and I absolutely loved. For the people who don’t like dogs, they really keep to themselves unless you approach them to pet them.

Great location within walking distance to several of the trailheads, as well as other area attractions. Close to the market, and a small grocery store right across the street. Staff was friendly, included breakfast was tasty, and the atmosphere is good. Cute dogs living on the grounds, and the smoothies at the smoothie bar were very tasty. Nice to see that they host several activities including yoga. Although the hostel shows some wear and tear, it is kept clean. Especially liked that they have separate bins for trash, compost, recycling, etc. We had booked a family room and it was a decent size.

In the centre with nice indoor and outdoor facilities. Daily activities planned. Free parking and breakfast

Comfortable bed. In the center and free parking. Nice common areas and garden. Free breakfast and great smoothies. Daily activities.

The bed was very comfy, you have everything you need. The best location ever. Right in the center. I love the curtains you have privacy in the shared bedroom

Ambiance is great and expeditions were fun. We liked our private room and upstairs kitchen suited our needs. Location is great and close to everything in town for easy walkability. Had a great hike with Jerry and a great community dinner!

The area is gorgeous. It's really easy to get there (and back) and the location is safe and ideal. Food nearby and activities. They also plan activities at the front desk that you can sign up for ahead of time. The breakfast was amazing, best pancakes I've ever had and fresh fruit with a wonderful smoothie. Room was spacious and bathrooms were clean. The grounds are modest and the dogs are friendly.

We spent 2 nights there recently and found everything true what we had heard about it: a great place to be with nice rooms and fun and welcoming people, like Jacob. He was always helpful and made sure everyone was happy and accommodated. Great location, too. We will make sure to try their other locations in Panama.

The location, spacious kitchen, friendly manager, beautiful space, comfortable bead, clean and good breakfast. Much much better than the panama city bodhi hostel.
