And I came back again! Visit there new location in boquete! The hostel is 2 mins for bajo boquete and its nice, very cool ecofriendly swimming pool! Restaurant on site (amazing pizza) and great value for the price. Its easy to get to town by bus or taxi for less than 1$, there is a small store in the corner, nice place to connect with other travelers, I suggest at least 3 nights to be able to go to all the places! Amazing breakfast for extra $4, and the wifi is amazing! Will come back for sure!

Really lovely stay. The atmosphere here is quite unique. Feels more like a homestay than a hostel. The hosts were lovely, pool was nice and the group dinners were awesome. Great spot to hangout for a few days
