Disappointing
Staff, location, comfortable bed.
Shower in room with private bathroom was broken and not usable. When I turned the water on, a lot came leaking through the ceiling.

Passable
room was very dirty - it had probably not been used for a few weeks before we got there and hence it was very dusty (they could have just vacuumed once more before we got there), the walls need a fresh layer of paint. The room was moist and a little smelly and you could hear the worms living inside the wooden wardrobe which was full of spider webs. The shower in our bathroom was one of those electric ones (which I hate anyways cause water and electricity don’t go together, though they’re normal in central/south America), but it was leaking into the socket into which it was plugged so just a literal life hazard. Also there were billions of insects in the kitchen and one cockroach in our room, but that really is normal for boquete and I think no hostel can really do anything about it

Disappointing
I liked the garden, the house itself is beautiful. The bedroom itself was clean. Host speaks English which made things easier for us.
First of all this is a youth hostel. i would advice against booking this property if you are not looking for that. That said: When we first arrived the kitchen was very dirty. Insects crawling all over it, making it an unsanitary place to cook. We asked staff if checkout at 7 was possible. They agreed. Next morning we want to checkout and staff member is no where to be found. Rooms are very noisy, you can hear every conversation. Houserules are not enforced we had to ask other guests to keep the noice down. Location wise its not great. Its easy enough to get to the town center. But around the hostel was not a pleasent area. All and all it essentially is especially with the language school tied to it, student housing on vacation. It was the complete opposite of what we were expecting and what seemed to be advertised. For the price we paid it was disappointing.

I would recommend this place, it is further out of town but a good hostel
It was a good stay, a quiet place but with good facilities.
The hostel was very small and not fully booked, so it was not very social at the time with other people.

Very good
Nice staff, cleanness, Good value for money.
Only minuses are probably cold water in the bathroom and small rooms with bunkbeds.

Home away from home
I loved the people! It immediately felt like home when I arrived, that’s also why I decided to stay a day longer. Carlos really made me feel very welcome
location is a bit too far from the city centre, but you can easily get there by taking a cab for $1 (per person).
