Very large and spacious house with lots of sleeping options. We were there with 9 people (7 days) and always had enough space. Greg, the owner, is super nice and extremely helpful, but not pushy. The kitchen is well equipped, there is no dishwasher, but there is a washing machine, which we used extensively. The small garden with a large barbecue area can be shared. Small downside: The house is about 4 km from the center of Boquete. You really have to have a car here.

My friends and I were in Boquete celebrating a birthday and we didn't really make and solid plans on how we were going to get back home or where to stay. We contacted the owner of La Jungla Experience very last moment…. By “last moment” I mean close to midnight and he was super accommodating and granted us access without any problems. We got to the beautiful house and we're really surprised at its large size and how super clean it was. We were sufficiently hungover, so getting out of there on time was not really an option. We contacted Greg (the owner) and he said it was no problem, and to get ourselves well enough to make the drive back home. All-in-all, everything was way better than expected on all levels.

We found ourselves stranded in Boquete right when the coronavirus was breaking out. My wife and I were traveling the Pan-American highway in our camper van and felt like we wanted to bunker down somewhere in the hopes that we could wait it out and continue our journey south.
We found La Jungla Experience, and were introduced to Greg, through a local in Boquete. It was perfect. We stayed there for 15 weeks and it was everything we could have hoped for. A big kitchen, a gym, a TV room, hot showers, super fast internet (150mbps down!), comfortable beds, and tons of light.
Greg is a fantastic host as well. He’s always caring, attentive, and available immediately. I strongly recommend staying at La Jungla Experience any time that you find yourself in Boquete. We certainly will next time we find ourselves there. 1

I LOVED Boquete, Panama!!! I must admit, I am not an outdoor or nature type person, but this trip to Panama was at the request of my travel friends and I don’t like to miss vacations! The La Jungula Experience hosts, Mamie and Greg, had the most wonderful suggestions for hiking, hot springs, cliff jumping, horseback riding and more! I am just in shock at how much I enjoyed all of these outdoor activities. I want to go back!
And the accommodations were fantastic too! We booked the private accommodations, they were clean, spacious, had comfortable beds. The house has a nice lounge area with a big TV and free Netflix! There is also free wifi, free breakfast, and free laundry. I loved the honor bar system, always well stocked with very affordable beer and wine! I do enjoy a few drinks on vacation. This was just far more than I could have asked for, we would definitely stay here again (and hopefully soon)!!!

Can not give enough praise to Greg & Mamie for everything that they do to make your stay so comfortable and enjoyable! This really is a home away from home and a welcome relief when you've been on the hostel trail for a while! They have given so much attention to detail to every little comfort, and are so knowledgeable about the hikes and activities available in the area. Super attentive to the needs of every guest and readily available to answer any questions. They take the time to get to know each guest individually, which makes you feel so much more welcome!
Really appreciated the hot water, comfy chill areas, best pancake brekky in CA, fast internet, very well stocked kitchen, very secure with great lockers and keycode entry door at night, free laundry!
Beautiful dogs and cat in the family too!

Greg really makes this hostel. It is just like a home. The perfect layout and atmosphere for making friends. Great kitchen, amazing wifi, Netflix and couches. Stay here.
It is a little out of town but only costs 60 cents to get in with a bus or a taxi. I was only going to stay for a few days but ended up staying 8.

This place is absolutely fabulous.
L - is for luxury kitchen: they had an ice maker, the sharpest knives I've seen in 8 months travelling, electric can opener, an oven, a microwave and every kitchen appliance you could possibly need!!
A- is for awesome free all you can eat pancakes for breakfast with a totally non stick pan and syrup and free coffee!!!
J- is for the Justin beiber puzzle and Simpson cluedo in the games pile up stairs in the super cozy lounge along with book exchange.
U- is for the unique homely feeling Greg and Mamie have created here and the super welcoming volunteers who gave great tips and instructions for all the hikes we could do in the area.
N- is for Netflix which they totally had so we could have amazing movie nights every night!!
G- is for Greg who went above and beyond with all things technical and computer related that I needed in the 4 days I was here and also just happened to have headlamps he was happy to lend for hiking the Baru volcano at night.
L- is for the lovely dogs Floyd and Pacino and Frieda the Cat who made the place a home.
A- is for the amazing hikes you can do in Boquete including sunrise over the volcano which I totally recommend, it does not take 12 hours, more like 4.5 up and 2.5 hr down.
EXPERIENCE- is for the best hostel experience ever!!!And we were lucky enough to meet Greg's lovely parents, who were just the nicest couple ever and so genuinely interested in all the guests that were staying during their time there!!! Go stay here everybody!!!

Greg and Mamie, owners of La Jungle Experience, have managed to create a hostel that is so comfortable and cozy that it feels like home. They have nailed every little detail, from the fully stocked kitchen with "convenience" cabinets, where you can purchase items for fair prices, free laundry, free pancake breakfast, two lounge rooms with TV and netflix and on it goes. Greg and Mamie are wonderful hosts who will tell you about everything there is to see and do in Boquete and they even run some great tours at affordable prices. Yoga with Mamie overlooking the volcano was spectacular and is the perfect start to a day exploring Boquete. We have stayed in hundreds of hostels and we have never experienced an atmosphere quite like the one at La Jungla, where you feel like you are staying with family. Easily the best hostel we have ever stayed in, and for a great price!!! Look no further for the best place to stay in Boquete.

Hola!
To walk from town, we're 5 kms outside the city, so it'll be a good solid hour if not more, however, we're on the main road going into town so buses and taxis are very frequent, and during the day/early evening, taxis and buses are only $.60 per person. We also have bikes :)
