Detailed Reviews
We really loved our stay at Villa Doraz. Rooms and bathrooms are clean. The water of the shower is hot and the matrasses are very comfortable. The host is very friendly (speaks English) and helps you with arranging tours and deciding on your iternary. There are some roosters nearby, which I didn't mind at all, but they accomodaded for it by putting some earplugs in the room. Definitely one of the best price-quality stays in Panama!

We had a nice room in a building around the corner from the main office. Centrally located, so walking around town was easy. Lots of good restaurants nearby. No AC needed as the weather in Boquete cools off at night.
The shared kitchen was small.

This is a small hostel (with kitchen) not far from the main square. Our room was basic but clean and quiet, and the owners were friendly and responsive. There was hot water and a working TV. There are good, cheap restaurants nearby.

We loved our stay here - the hostal is located in the center just around the corner from the main square, our room was big with two big beds and a balkony with great views. There is a guest kitchen but note that it closes with the reception at 9pm (no one told us so we found ourself locked out of the kitchen one night, unable to prepare our dinner). In the morning the kitchen only opens at 9am which causes a similar problem. Besides that though, absolutely recommendable.

Perfect location if you want to stay in the center of Boquete. Located opposite the main street so not so noisy. Rooms are average, bit old furniture but acceptable. There was a problem with hot water, very shortly keeping the temperature and then running colder. There was no daily cleaning. The kitchen could be used but hygiene is not so perfect. The stuff is nice. If no other option it's ok for few days stay to sleep and spend the day outside.

We found Hostal Doraz by accident and were stoked with what we found. We paid dorm prices ($10 each) and had the room to ourselves. It was set up like a hotel, turned down linen and clean towels for us to use, a hot shower and communal kitchen.
It was also super safe being across the road from the Policía Nacional, we left the surfboards on the roof and even forgot the car keys in the door overnight without incident!
It's walking distance to the Main Street that had great food and live music, and the local gardens. Would happily stay there again.

We was 2, not a couple, we ask for a room available, and they had 1!
We was happy to find somewhere to stay, but after 15 min we find under the big bed condom used, and insect on the bed sheet...
We didn't have the time to change of hotel but I didn't recommend this hotel..
The staff is nice but really it was scandalously dirty!!

The hostel has a good location, close to restaurants and shops. The owner is very nice: we booked 2 nights but arrived only the second day, and he made us pay only one night. The place is ok, but at night it is freezing... And we had no blankets! I didn't sleep because I felt I was in a fridge... Very bad night.
