Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Room with balcony overlooking the city. I don't see any fault except not seeing the staff often. The kitchen with a view of the city is extremely well equipped and we had our breakfasts there. Located 3 minutes from the start of the city and 6 minutes from the collectivos which take you to the hiking sites for 2 to 3 dollars. Avoid taxis.

My wife and I have stayed at Buena Vista twice: in July 2021 and in February/March 2022. On each occasion, we stayed for several days. It's a 5 minute walk from a cluster of Boquete's best restaurants. To me, "best" implies great food at reasonable prices. Roughly half the rooms have superb views of the town, and the other half have gorgeous, green mountain views.
Owned and operated by a friendly young couple (Kristhian is Panamanian and Elizabeth is American) they took care to offer some nice touches. The rooms are immaculate. One of the rooms (the studio) has its own kitchen. Otherwise, there's a superbly clean shared kitchen on the second floor, and they offer laundry services.
We appreciated that the other guests were respectful to the extent that the kitchen was kept clean.
The entire top floor is a lovely hang-out area. It has comfortable, high quality lounge chairs and a table from which you could eat. The outer deck is massive, and it also includes tables from which to eat. I used the outer deck to exercise every morning, surrounded by chirping birds and the gorgeous views of the mountains and the town. It would be amazing for yoga or morning meditation.
This hotel does not attract a party clientele. We mingled with young, respectful backpackers and families (from Panama and beyond). Our room had a large bed and a bunkbed for children. I think most (if not all) of the rooms had the same. WiFi was very good throughout the hotel.
If you're looking for something with a great view that's chill, clean, close to everything in town and has a cool vibe, Buena Vista is the place.

Pros: Room was clean and comfortable; hot shower; top floor has a nice area for seeing the town and includes refrigerator and gas stove, as well as coffee maker and tea kettle. Reasonable fee for host doing our laundry. Hosts are very nice. Convenient walk (2-7 blocks for most needs: pharmacy, groceries, restaurants) Con: Difficult to hunt down the owner to ask a question. It is not accessible To get to the top, requires 4 sets of stairs, not including the uphill sidewalk! Being in decent shape is a must!

I had a nice, spacious room at the hostel, and the rooftop really provides a good view, as the name already indicates. It’s beautifully located, about a 10 minutes walk away from the town center. The staff explaines you hiking trails and also organizes various tours. Only problem: The reception desk was mostly empty when I got there to ask something…

The price was fair considering what's on offer in Boquere. Nice mountain view, hot water, beautiful common areas. Have parking nearby.There wasn't easy to find someone around the hotel, but if you did. They were smiley and helpful. The room I stayed at needed a bit of TLC, chipped floor, the shower door didn't properly opened and there must be a better way to avoid people taking the remote with them other than the solution they got . I could ignore that because all together it is a nice establishment BUT if like me you enjoy a good night sleep maybe it is not the place for you, as every night during my stay I was awakened by the loud banging of the doors of people coming back at 12, 1, 2 or 3am, their chatting on the corridor or even in their rooms. I turned on the fan (even if it wasn't hot) it helped with the chatting noise but not with the banging doors. Maybe that would be the only reason I wouldn't come back.

The entire staff gives excellent service. They are there to serve their guests in any way possible. They answered all our questions, and gave us good advise as to where to shop and how to get around. The owners both speak English. Their affordable rates made it possible for us to stay for an entire month in Boquete. Also, the kitchen facilities kept our eating expenses at a minimum. Our room was more than we expected. The bed was large and linens were all new. The bathroom was small, yet filled all our needs. We could not have been more pleased. Climbing the stairs to the rooftop we found the views to be breathtaking; night and day. The entire village is viewable . The bridges in town light up at night, as well as a cross on the upper hill behind Buena Vista. Half of the rooftop is enclosed; furnished with very comfortable seating. We used this area like our living room; reading and playing the games that are at hand. If we return to Boquete, we will book with them again.

We stayed here for about 5 days, it is walking distance from the main downtown Boquete restaurants and stores. What I liked about the place is that its new. All the amenities are clean and working. If you haven't been to Panama, many places simply do not use hot water. The Buena Vista has HOT water!! Boquete has a cooler climate so you need hot water. Pricing was great. great view. I would definitely stay there again and recommend. The upper deck is a great plus as well. Host speaks perfect English has Spanish. They have free wifi too and was able to stream movies. - Javier & Michelle.

This was one of the nicest accommodations we had in weeks. The place has recently been completely renovated and everything looks really nice and clean. They have an awesome rooftop to hang out and enjoy the view. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare yourself a nice meal. Some of the best restaurants are just 2 minutes away. The hotel is located about 5 minutes walking distance from the center. The owner of the place is always available and can help you out with whatever you need. If you are staying in Boquete I can only recommend to go to Buena Vista Boquete.

Wonderful family running their own business says it all. Clean room, comfy beds and pillows and the view is spectacular! Did I mention this is the tallest building in downtown Boquete? Go on the roof and you will see! A must if you come in town. Thank you Elizabeth & Khristian! we will be back
