I don’t understand why this hotel doesn’t have 10 stars. It’s perfect. A summary of all the good things:
1. The deck. One day I literally spent the entire day at the deck, either reading a book in one of the beds, taking a swim, seeing sea-animals passing by, etc…
2. Breakfast is good and generous. I had the Caribbean breakfast every day.
3. Location is perfect. Just a few blocks far from “the noise”, yet close to several restaurants, grocery stores and to Bocas downtown. It’s walkable from/to the Almirante boats docks.
4. Staff was nice.
5. The room was perfect.
6. We took the advertised tour to Isla Zapatilla for $37, which I recommend.
7. Wifi was decent. Had a little glitch sometimes from the room, but acceptable.
8. We had a welcome drink/activity at night and used the paddle board for free on Thursday at 10am.

I have to say that it was one of the best hostel experiences I've ever had. The hostel itself is clean, spacious and has a really welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are all friendly and helpful, making me feel at home from the moment I arrived.
I had an amazing time here and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to chill, read a book, meet new people, enjoy the nature and an amazing ocean view.
A special thanks to my friend Marco that, as a part of the staff, was a huge factor in making my stay so amazing. I can't thank him enough for his kindness and hospitality, and I hope to stay at Bambuda again in the future.
Finally, a shout-out to the kitchen chef! I had the best meals in Panamá because of his dinners! Thank you!

Honestly this place was so cute, I really enjoyed my stay here. It’s right on the water and so gorgeous. The two kitchens makes it easy to cook at the same time as others and omg the pina coladas were the best I’ve had. No air con or hot water but I didn’t mind this so much, just worth baring in mind if you’re someone it’s an issue for xxx

Excellent stay with great location. We had pleasent 2 night stay in quirky and charming house. Super host Katarina with her tips regarding our needs. House is located close to city centre and that was our main goal for short stay. On the other hand it was far from noisy part of the town. We chilled during breakfast on small front patio hanging out on hammock and watching interesting live of Bocas. Kitchen is well equipped and overall very interesting furnitures and styl of house gave us amazing impression. Highly recommended for everyone. We stayed in room nr 1 and we very happy with our stay.

The hostel was super cheap which was great for travellers (like us) who are on a budget. The option to rent a fan was great too although it actually wasn’t too hot at night. Loved the outside shower! It’s a little bit further out of town but only $1 for a taxi so not bad at all.
Great location and if you like to party it is the perfect spot to meet new people. Also, everyday new activities and you should make sure to be at the Filthy Friday party (everyone around is coming and the whole hostel is packed!).
We paid for the cheaper private room. There was ac and hot water. The breakfast was simple but good, bread, coffee, eggs and fruit. I believe the hotel is under new ownership and undergoing improvements. Our room was a little tired. It's in a great location to reach restaurants, the beach, and Panama dive centre which was what we wanted. You can easily get back to Colon Island by water taxi for more restaurants and shops.
The location is perfect, just one min away from Bocas town. The hostel got a lot of potential, keep in mind is a party hostel so it's very loud, but if you are looking to meet new people this is the right place.
- appreciated the air con - great location a short walk from the main area, but off on a side street that made it quieter - Mabel was really really lovely - the drinking water was very handy - comfortable, safe room
One of the best hostels we’ve ever stayed in, lovely view, pool and lounge area. Affordable water taxis booked through the hostel. Really lovely staff and volunteers Food very yummy but slightly on the expensive side Dorms really modern, clean and nice- and curtains and a big fan on each bed!
This place completely exceeded my expectations! Already at check-in the lady was incredibly nice and made me feel at home. The rooms and common areas were very clean and as a backpacker it made me feel like I was staying in a high end resort. Compared to other hostels in the area the price is super doable! You cannot cook but if you have a late breakfast you can get by with two meals a day which were delicious!
it was a quirky hostel that was a great budget place to stay! it had nice chilled vibes and was clean.
Great location, good tour operated from the hostel, nice social spaces and great kitchen!
Probably the best hostel i have stayed in. Fantastic setting and in a great location.
