    1. The cleanness was reasonable but not enough, especially the toilets and the pool. 2. There is no hot water in the shower! 3. The air conditioning is active only in the evenins and the nights.

    1. Various menu for breakfast. 2. A nice design. 3. Good and stable Wifi. 4. Very kind and servical staff.

    Cannot think of anything

    High value for money. The staff is really great and friendly, the rooms are very big and clean with comfy beds. We stayed 2 nights, one when we arrived in PNC and the day before we left. We could leave our luggages with no extra costs for one whole day and night we stayed in San Blas, which you cannot expect everywhere

    I GUESS it could be closer to Casco Viejo

    Beautiful building, comfortable bed with locker underneath, privacy curtain, and individual light, fan, and outlets. Outdoor pool. Free warm breakfast, homemade every morning. Helpful staff, good WiFi, need a code to enter so it felt safe. Good location close to restaurants and public transport as well (though far from Casco Viejo).

    We had a private room at the top of the house with shared bathroom. It was really big and comfy bed. The shared bathrooms were also good. The pool area was very nice and there was also a free breakfast. We only stayed one night but wanted to stay longer, but they were fully booked.

    I felt staff and volunteers could be a bit more chatty so that you feel more welcomed.

    It felt a bit luxurious which was nice for a change. The 14 bed dorm was huge and very spacious (normally I don't stay in large dorms but this was super comfy and quiet). Nice relaxed and quiet vibe. Loved the shelf for people to leave unwanted clothes.

    Air conditioning is not on during the day, only from 11PM-6AM which I found a bit unfortunate.

    The hostel was very clean, dorms were big but spacious. Great pool to cool off. The kitchen was also very big, convenient for cooking.

    Dorms very large and as lots of people have early starts it's almost impossible to have the light on to sort your stuff once if gets dark

    Pool area is gorgeous, much nicer than other hostels I was in nearby

    Everyone's very friendly. Great place to get to know more people. The staff is helpful. You might have some small communication issues as the staff are composed mainly by Spanish speakers, but I didn't have any problems with that as they were always very patient to understand what I needed.

    10 people in one room are too many for me because someone always gets up at night or early in the morning. The locker could be worked out so that you can no longer reach in with your hand. The air conditioning was way too cold for me. But that's subjective and maybe exactly what others like...

    No noisy metal beds, curtain, very nice staff, nice rooms, there was even a towel for the dorm, good breakfast

    Air con doesn't come on until 9pm and not plugs by every bed

    One really cool open dorm room, 14 sounds daunting but makes sense when you're here. Staff and volunteers really nice and offer free salsa, yoga etc. Free breakfast and coffee. Could leave my bag here an extra day when on a boat which is super useful. Area nearer city centre so feels safer.

    nothing

    we had a private room with a shared bathroom. the bathroom was very clean on any time! Since we went to San Blas after check out we could store our things in Bodhi for free. After return we could spend a few hours there till our bus left to Bocas. Thats a very great service. Would book it definitely again!

    The 14 bed mixed dorm was okay. If you’re on a bottom bunk you have the perks of curtains but on the top bunk all the light streams in from the top skylights. The beds were comfy but would have rated higher if I had the bottom bunk for a better nights sleep. the aircon gets turned off around 7am so if you want a sleep in it’s almost impossible with the heat. also not really a social hostel

    Great safe location with some cool rooftops around. The included breakfast is delicious and the kitchen facilities are perfect

    1. Address on Booking is not accurate enough 2. Our private room required us to walk through a dormitory to get to the shared bathroom

    Good, filling breakfast. Nice chill area around the nice swimming pool. Spacious rooms and shared facilities (restrooms or kitchen). A large kitchen, well furnished. A lot of restrooms and bathrooms.
