• Mulder (7/5): -
• Isamar De Hoyte (10/5): - Las instalaciones La primera noche pase calor por mala distribución de los ventiladores
• Melany (10/5): -
• JulioCesar08 (10/5): Maravillosa ubicación, y lugar acogedor - La ubicación y la gente fue muy amable Todo Gusto!
• JulioCesar08 (10/5): Amena y agradable - El anfitrión fue muy servicial y la ubicación es de las mejores. Quiero volver por más tiempo.
• Chacon Herrera (9/5): - Muy cerca de la zona libre exelente
• Groisard (1/5): - Les animaux, les hamacs et la chambre privative L’établissement a rencontré un problème d’eau durant 2 jours et ils n’ont pas su le solutionner. Le personnel manque de professionnalisme en rigolant à chaque question posé. Passe outre du bien-être des clients en affirmant que l’eau est potable et buvable alors qu’elle ne l’est pas. Le seul geste commercial proposé après demande de notre part a été de nous offrir une nuit supplémentaire au lieu de nous rembourser une partie de la nuit.
• gilles (1/5): Catastrophique - Pas d'eau pendant tout le séjour. Il a fallu remplir des seaux pour se laver légèrement. Le ventilateur de mon lit a cramé, j'ai failli m'électrocuter. Je pense que cet établissement devrait fermer un moment pour être rénové et pour former un gérant. J'ai demandé un remboursement, je n'ai obtenu aucune réponse.
• Alegria Crossan (1/5): Pésimo - Normal, me gusta Portobello Me cobraron 4 camas y me dieron dos. Me hicieron pagar todas las camas aunque no las utilice, muy mala administración. Me hubiera gustado que respetaran lo que pague, terrible.
• Roxana (8/5): Escape Relajado 😌 - Muy bueno el espacio. Buena ubicación en el pueblo. Volvería ir para salir de la rutina de la cuidad e ir a la playa. El pueblo cuenta con un museo abierto sin paga solo en ese momento que entre y una galería de arte muy bonito.
• David (7/5): -
• Michel (7/5): -
• Nath' (8/5): - Bonne ambiance, super terrasse pour voir les oiseaux et le village. Cuisine commune commode. Le petit ventilateur permet de limiter les moustiques. Personnel sympathique et souriant. L'eau de la douche s'évacue assez mal et le tuyau asperge le mur autant que nous. Une fenêtre n'avait pas de moustiquaire et un morceau de vitre en moins (donc facile pour les moustiques de rentrer).
• Alkain (10/5): - El lugar es increible con una vista a el pueblo impresionante. Realmente es el unico sitio en Portobelo donde me senti demasiado comodo; como en casa. Reserve solo un día y me quede 4, realmente el lugar te atrapa. El ambiente y la música muy buena. Nada
• DAVID FERNANDO (10/5): - Me gustó la atención de Su, ea un hostal pero tiene opción de habitación privada con ducha, el baño es compartido pero muy limpio (olía a lejia, indicación de recién hecha la limpieza). Cerca hay un restaurante básico donde puedes almorzar por USD5 arroz, proteína y cereales (arroz, frijoles o lentejas con carne, pollo o cerdo) también hay platos de USD10 pero con pulpo o camarones y en el parque hay un carro con salchipapas deliciosas. La oscuridad de la alcoba es genial para dormir, no escuchas ruido de nada. Hay una playa a 10 minutos en bote, el lanchero se llama Kazan, es de confiar. Vale la pena visitar Portobelo. Desde Panamá city coges metro hasta el terminal de albrook, hay coges un bus y le dices al ayudante que te avise al llegar a Sabanita, y de ahí coges un bus muy rudimentario hasta Portobelo. Es genial porque en mi País ya no se ven estos buses. :) Para ser un hostal todo es encantador.

• lilas (10/5): agréable pour une escapade à portobelo - terrasse agréable avec une superbe vue sur la ville. dortoir un peu basique mais ça fait l’affaire. salle de bain avec assez d’espace et assez propre (eau froide, mais il fait chaud à portobelo). petit hostel où la discussion s’ouvre facilement. la cuisine est un peu petite.
• Reiner (7/5): -
• Karen Vanessa (10/5): Un hermoso lugar. - La conexión que tiene con la montaña, la vista y las anfitrionas son maravillosas.
• fabiano (8/5): -
• Sergio (8/5): - La signora mi è apparsa molto welcome quindi ottimo! Prezzo rapporto qualità ottimo Posizione ottima Bellissimo Per stare in pace in natura 🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫🍄‍🟫 Il cane che mi ha morso appena gli sono passato accanto . Non era un morso cattivo ma benso un morso di un cane annoiato depresso, infatti si capiva dallo sguardo che non era molto felice. Il divano puzzava a cane , immagino che nessuno lavi quel cane.
• Richard (8/5): Nice Place in Portobelo - It is an ok place with nice people in a good location away from the main road so it is very quiet at night. I had a private room with a comfortable bed, two fans, and a sink and shower. The restroom was shared with the other guests. There is a nice common area that is partially covered with nice seating and a lot of space. My room had a window that was missing some small panes of glass with no screen so I was a little concerned about bugs getting in. The curtain helped and I saw only one mosquito in the room.
• Gareth (10/5): Great Hostel - Great place to chill and unwind in Portobello. Friendly staff including the dogs! Would staff here again no problem N/A
• caridad (6/5): A pesar de la naturaleza que lo rodea y nos gustó no volvería - Lo mejor su ubicación en contacto con la naturaleza,con una estupenda terraza donde se podía estar con tranquilidad. La habitación, pequeña sin ventilación,nada de espacio para dejar tus cosas y ni una toalla de baño.
• Christopher (8/5): - It's nice place, good location and good view from the balcony. No AC but the fans worked really well and the cold water showers are refreshing! :)
• Arleta (10/5): - Lokalizacja, super atmosfera --
• René (9/5): Gracias, volveré - La simpatía de Sugey, Verónica y Juan Pablo. Terraza amplia, un baño compartído muy pequeño, pero el otro muy amplia. Bien situado en un sitio tranquilo Cocina un poco pequeña para
• Geo (10/5): - La terraza con vistas al mar y a la iglesia que parece un cuadro. Rodeada de selva y miles de aves y perezosos. Las hamacas . El bar. La atención y dedicación de Sú. La ubicación Todo es perfecto
• Laura (10/5): - Lugar muy acogedor con muy buen ambiente y excelente atención por parte de Suu. El dormitorio es cómodo, las zonas comunes espaciosas y los acompañantes de cuatro patas un encanto.
• Helene (6/5): -
• yisel (10/5): - Trato del personal maravilloso, limpieza estupenda y está muy bien ubicada
• JUAN DAVID LÓPEZ MARTINEZ (9/5): Acordé al precio pagado - Es un alojamiento agradable, tiene lo básico para una buena estancia, tomamos una habitación privada para tres personas, el baño es compartido pero funciona muy bien. La chica que nos atendió muy amable, siempre con la disposición para informarnos sobre lo que deseabamos No hay pago con tarjeta solo efectivo
• Santi Scb (2/5): - Nada en general nada,incluso me enferme. La dueña no estaba dejó encargada a una Argentina que no se enteraba de nada y el moreno con ella menos y siempre estaban discutiendo. Todo menos profesional
• Matias Ezequiel (7/5): -
• Mr (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mr Forest (10/5): -
• meslay (10/5): Très bon séjour, un endroit chargé d’histoires et une très bonne énergie. - La vue
• Philipp (9/5): Superb - Amazing building, really nice staff, close to the town, plenty of tips for activities and a nice bar! AC would be nice!
• Rachel (6/5): Chilly - Loved the lounge and terrace Some of the staff members came off a bit cold and rude
• Alina (4/5): Disappointing - I loved the animals... The bathroom could be cleaner.
• Michi (7/5): Good -
• Cedric (8/5): Very good - Nice place to stay, great location and nice view from the town and the fores behind,, the family are friendly, good place for 1 or 2 nights.
• Bethany (2/5): Very poor - Frustrating to see such a high rating. The bathroom wasn’t cleaned for two nights, our mattress was damp and had fleas, the kitchen was tiny and very hard to make a simple meal. No helpful tour information was given. I don’t leave bad reviews, but I left covered in bites and was very unsatisfied with my stay. In 3 months in Central America this was my first worst stay.
• Marie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Vladiq (6/5): Pleasant - Great location with beautiful view Unfriendly owners, we felt not welcomed, no information about local activity, dirty fridge and kitchen, shared toilet with dormitory
• Karo (10/5): Exceptional - Location, super friendly staff, the common space with plenty of hammocks and opportunities to sit and chill. Absolutely lovely experience! It was a great stay!
• Elvira (8/5): Very good - The location was amazing, in the village but also in the forest. Monkeys, sloths and other animals were easy to spot. The hostel got cleaned multiple times a day and the owner was really friendly and laid back. Price could have been a bit less, but for Panama it is normal. The toilet is shared with the dorm.
• Véronique (10/5): Exceptional - Hostel is super friendly. Su is a great host, helps you with planning your trip. She was kind enough to invite me on her own boat tour with her friends! Other guests were very open and welcoming too :) Gracias por todo. Todo bien ! A little warm but as you should expect in the area
• Alessandro (9/5): The place for bavkpackers - The real gem of this place are the people working there. Sue is a great host and a magnet for friendly people, she will make you feel at home. The place is what you expect from a Hostel in the Jungle. Very basic services and comfort, but it has a bar on the terrace that becomes very lively with people from the village, other guests and tourists passing by. You can spot a lot of wildlife around the place and Sue runs some cheap tours to the nearby beaches for a very local experience. Oh they also have a sloth living there! Nothing really if you know what to expect. Not for people that struggle to get out of their comfort zone. No AC in the rooms :)
• Ruben (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bela (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dian (8/5): Very good - Great common area and views are amazing. Staff was great,shared kitchen was well stocked with pots/dishes, could see wild monkeys off in the trees.. Beds not great and no hot water
• Stephen (8/5): Very good - It was a joy to welcome the New Year on the Hostal's beautiful deck with the amazing staff and folks from Panamá, Canada, Austria, Germany, Honduras, and the United States. This place has a great vibe.
• Abram (10/5): Loves everything abou it. Simple place - This was a great place. It was super relaxing and quite. Sue was an amazing host and made us feel at home. It was priced well. The location was waking distance from everything. The bed was super comfortable. It's a very basic place so remember that. Sue recommended this unforgettable kayak tour ,that took me out to a secluded beaach
• Ewa (9/5): Superb - A great vibe, comfortable and clean rooms, clean bathroom. Very nice common areas and well equiped kitchen. Great owner and her pets. Beautiful View from the hammock, birds singing, fresh air. Nothing
• Jing (9/5): Superb - My favorite part is that no matter how hot the weather is, the hotel is always cool, perhaps because of the high location, and the view from the balcony is nice.
• Max (3/5): Poor -
• Gabriel (10/5): Went on adventures nearby - Sue, the hostel owner, and her friends were so kind and fun to be around. Nothing
• Edna (8/5): Very good -
• Farias (10/5): Great place to feel like home - I liked the comfort, the really good reception, the views, spaces and affordableness. All clean, well-equiped kitchen and quite silent nights of sleep. There is a nice bar upstairs also if you up for some drinks. Nothing really
