Bambuda is fantastic. The location is excellent with breathtaking views of the mountains & countryside. The food in the restaurant is excellent & there are numerous options at all times of the day. The service at the front desk & at the restaurant are prefect: helpful, friendly, & enthusiastic. Taxi rides from the hotel to a variety of destinations are easy to get & inexpensive. I had a cabin with a balcony. It felt like a cabin in the mountains but with strong hot water in the shower.

I will be here for 9 days total because my plans keep changing! I have had to add days on repeatedly and they do their best to keep me in the same or similar location.
Then I got sick and they isolated me and took care of me like family. This has felt like a home away from home… not a vacation but I’m safe and well cared for!

What a cool place! It’s part hostel and part hotel. We stayed in one of the hobbit homes and it was beyond cool. Everything was new and updated inside the home. It was a very nice, but casual environment around the hotel. It had a great vibe of young and older adults. The dining area is large and a great hangout for all visitors. The views of the mountains were fantastic. The staff was very helpful and even had a laundry service for us. The food was great. It was a very fun and unique place to stay. We really enjoyed it and would book there again.

The view is really fantastic. The vibe is very relaxing and the general area is a pleasant place to sit and enjoy the view. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
We stayed in the hobbit hut with valley view. The hut was very nice. It is actually pretty close to the castle so we could hear all the sounds coming out of the kitchen. It is quiet around 10.15 pm so we didn’t mind. But if you want to sleep early then the sounds can keep you awake.
The pans in the general kitchen are not in a good state. I wouldn’t cook my meal in it.

Such a great retreat from the hustle & bustle of downtown. Truly feels like you are on an eco resort with comfortable amenities and a truly unique feel to the hotel!

Stayed in Cocobolo "hobbit house". So cute and unique. High ceiling, sliding door w screen. Birds everywhere in the garden. Amazing view. Shared basic kitchen with fridge. No coffee maker...but a tea kettle. Restaurant on site that is actually open 7 days. Pool and hot tub. Lots of hiking nearby. Better to have a car to get to and from town...but taxis are a few bucks. $30 shuttle daily 8am gets you to bocas del toro. $20 Uber from David. Staff are extremely helpful and all speak fluent english. Great recommendations for restaurants in town...plus where to shop for bakery, veggies and gifts. There's a little info book on all to see and do in the area. So very helpful! Loved this place. Would stay again in a heartbeat

More of a Hostal that expected. Lots of dorm rooms full of dudes. All the dudes in the hot tube… no thanks. Had a room that was like a lord-of-the-rings hut. Tiny, damp and dirty. Only one door/window so hard to get any air circulation. Boquete is known for its coffee, but don’t look here for one. Tried 2 days in a row at 8am to get a cup and got the weakest brew in the Shire. Frodo may like it, but not me.

We loved our stay at Bambuda Castle! The shared open air balcony was such a highlight. We were able to come back from hiking and watch the afternoon storms roll through the hills. Gorgeous and relaxing. Hostel was spotlessly clean and the folks at the reception desk were unfailingly helpful. Food was way better than it had to be. Would recommend a car as it is difficult to get anywhere without one. Parking was tight but still do-able.

Love this place. We live in Panamá but love to visit Boquete and this is one of our favorite places to stay. Super terrific service as staff go out of their way to make your stay pleasant. Food is fabulous. The dome rooms are cozy, private and peaceful. All this at a price that can’t beat for the quality. This may be a hostel but it’s better than a lot of hotels we’ve stayed at. We would definitely recommend.

Nice and relaxed athmosphere. Good customer service. Beds could be updated with curtains to give more comfort and the guest Kitchen needs more attencion and equipment should be updated. There is a reason why this place is voted for the best hostel in Panama on other web pages

This is the coolest place to stay! Rooms and property very unique with vistas galore. Staff are good, common areas clean and well maintained. Had a bit of a cleanliness issue in my room’s bathroom (other people’s hair) but the bed was super comfy. I stayed in a tower room and it was very neat! I loved hanging out and drinking wine or coffee on the back porch.

Fantastic place. We stayed in one of the bungalows. The dinner was also very good and was reasonably priced. Same goes re. breakfast which you can have on the terrace with amazing views of boquete.
