We loved our stay here. Nanci was a great help with booking tours and providing us with suggestions on what to do in Boquette. Would definitely recommend.

Easy to meet people. Two sitting areas, one quiet, for reading

It's a nice enough hostel. Good location, superfriendly staff. The tours they offer though is a bit pricey for someone on a budget. And the bed was not that comfy. The areas in the hostel are nice though. It was a bit quiet (not many guests) when I was there, so it's a good place to stay if you wanna sleep.

Hostal Nomba was my first hostel experience ever and I am SO HAPPY that I went. My boyfriend and I loved it! We had a private room to ourselves, the staff was wonderful, it was within walking distance of town, everything was at our fingertips. Wonderful facility! Really, we loved it. We've been converted to hostel stayers now :) THANK YOU NOMBA!!!

Very good location in the center of Boquete, nice chilling area, there is a bar on the premises. They offer good trips, coffee plantation trip is very good value for money.

The water was pretty cold for the showers, but I enjoyed the hammocks and happy hour.

I don\'t recommend this hostel. We had a lot of problems with the staff. They did not want to refund our money although we had ants in the first room, worms in the second room (they were in the bed, the cushions, and eventually in all our cloths and luggage), and ants and worms in the third room. They became very unfriendly at the end and finally we had to accept a very foul compromise to get at least a little of our money back.

The best from all the hostels we went during our trip in Panama! Secure, clean, well situated... nothing bad to say about it! Nancy, the crazy receptionist can entertain you and others during the evening or can cook some pancakes, papaya and really good coffee the morning! Also, the owner is very nice (try the hot springs with him during the night, it worth it!). If you're looking to a nice and quiet place to have a good sleep, but also have some crazy nights, don't go anywhere else than Nomba!

Hostel overcharged for activities which other hostels charged less than half for. The owner appears very focused on money at the bar and partying. The owner charged visitors different prices for outings/gear, and stated that my girlfriend had an unpaid tab at the bar when she did not drink. Breakfast is supposed to be included, but sometimes the workers "forget" to prepare it. Room was spacious and affordable. Bathroom had hot water, small community, friendly travelers. Kitchen for private rooms

The hostel was wonderful, welcoming, clean, and delivered on our expectations. A great value at a great price, with a central location ONE BLOCK AWAY from the town square! A beautfuly mountain view from the front of the hostel, with adventure trips scheduled at the front desk (hiking, hot springs, coffee plantation tours, etc.).
