Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
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.

Loved the location of this place. It's basic, and like most buildings in the area, it is wooden, so there's next to no no sound insulation. But the room was comfortable enough, and with a garden with great views (due to the elevated position) and hammocks slung under the lemon tree, the room is only to crash in, The hostel is just a couple of minutes walk from the centre of town, but in a really quiet spot.

The volunteer staff were very friendly, and immensely kind and helpful when we lost a bank card,.I could happily have stayed for another week or two. A really relaxing spot.

Stayed here for around a month, absolutely paradise. I miss it frequently. Although there's just 2 toilets and 1 shower it really feels homey and comfortable. The kitchen it well equipped with everything you need to cook. The cats who hang around the place are all amazingly friendly and sweet. The view is absolutely killer. I recommend this hostel to all my friends travelling to Boquete. It looks like there's been even more improvements made since we visited so I can only imagine it has gotten even better.

We moved to this hostel, when the partner hostel had no more room for us. We had an ok room, mosquito net, a chair and a small shelf, shared shower (only one) and there were two shared toilets. No hooks or anywhere except the floor to store things. They supplied a mosquito net which isneeded.The kitchen was well set up to use and the people hosting there were delightful.
It was very good value for Boquete, but it was very quiet when we were there and I am not sure how the amenities would be shared with many people.

The garden and view are beautiful.

A quiet little hostel - the sister hostel to the bigger and slightly more expensive Refugio del Rio. This hostel is up a quiet street on the hill from the centre of Boquete - only a minute from the high-street. It has an amazing garden overlooking the valley with hammocks and a BBQ, table and chairs and a huge comfy sofa. The kitchen is really well equipped and clean. There are only 5 private rooms so it's quiet, and less people using the shared bathrooms. We paid $30 per night for a triple room which is great value for the area. There are two toilets and one amazing rain shower with hot water. The hosts are really helpful and we booked all our tours through the sister hostel. There are two dogs and two cats who mooch around and sleep on the furniture - so beware if you're allergic. We loved Boquete and the hostel so much we stayed for a week!
