Guest Reviews
- Gutierrez (10/5): -
- Norbel (1/5): - Nothing a scam. Uneducated and belligerent staff owner, stay away
- Norbel (10/5): - The waterfall. N/A
- Cynthia (4/5): 4 pers.kamer ok./6 pers.dorm is badkamer zeer smerig! - In begin vond ik de gastheer en beetje vreemd, maar blijkt later wel aardig. Eerst verbleef ik in de 4 pers.kamer. Het bed was schoon en comfortabel. De badkamer nodigde niet uit om te gaan douchen, doucheruimte is zeer klein en je moet langs toilet murwen. De 2de nacht verbleef ik in de 6 pers.dorm. Bed was comfortabel en schoon. Maar de badkamer en toilet waren zeer ranzig. Er word niet schoongemaakt, volle afvalbak en op toiletbril lagen plas druppels van anderen. Doucheruimte is groter, maar was wederom zeer smerig. Op de vloer allemaal viezigheid en plukken haar en de douchekop zat vol spinnenwebben en kleine dode beestjes. Dit heb ik eerst weggehaald met de toiletborstel. Toen ik aan het douchen was, zag ik in de andere hoek nog spinnenrag. Dus sorry meneer de host, ik raad het anderen niet aan en denk dat u inderdaad aan uw pensioen toe bent!
- Ariadna (10/5): - El dueño es muy amable. La habitación estaba limpia, cómoda y acogedora.
- Smith (6/5): -
- Navas (1/5): No regresaría - La cascada El trato del dueño pésimo
- Isaac (10/5): -
- Hugh (10/5): MAGIC! - I am a returning guest.....I love this place! It is situated on the road up to Boquete so a great place to build into your plans. The rooms are clean and comfortable and there is a guest kitchen if you want to cook for yourself. The hostel sits beside a river and waterfall and is bordered by ancient rainforest. Relax and enjoy the wildlife and beautiful natural surroundings. You can swim in the river (the waterfall has a big pool below it) or alternatively swim in one of the 2 swimming pools on the grounds which are fed by the clean river water and are refilled regularly. There is a restaurant on-site and free wifi all around. Have a beer with Peter the welcoming, hard-working, super-friendly (and proud Aussie) owner. Why stay in noisy David when only 10 mins away in the bus you can have all this for only $10 per night?! CHEERS PETER! No complaints! (I saw some cruel reviews which do not represent my experiences here.....all they had to do was ask Peter and he would have put things straight, he is only happy if everyone is enjoying their stay).
- mario (7/5): - On est bien c'est tranquille il y a la piscine
- David (10/5): Mi mejor experiencia en chiriqui - Déjenme decirle que en lo personal la calidad de su atención , personas muy amables y atentas a tus necesidades, una calidez como si estuvieras en tú propia casa , las instalaciones perfectas un lugar refrescante en el cual puedes descansar con una comodidad única , aparte déjenme decirles que la comida no tiene un puntaje digno que pueda darles totalmente delicioso algo fuera de liga, en verdad la mejor opción para descansar y hospedarse. Déjenme decirles que no hay cosa alguna que no me gustará, aunque si fuera algo en lo personal sería no tener más tiempo de disfrutar la estadía en éste magnífico lugar.

- Anonymous (10/5): Very enjoyable stay at this property - Fantastic atmosphere, value for money and very friendly and helpful staff
- Hugh (10/5): Lovely place to unwind surrounded by nature. - I'm a returning guest, I love it here. Excellent location away from the noise an pollution of David, on the road to Boquete, nestled in a pocket of ancient rainforest with its own waterfall you can swim in, plus 2 pools, large tropical gardens with birds, butterflies, flowers, the occasional sloth etc etc. You really feel like you are close to nature and away from the stresses of the world...... but at the same time there is everything you need; wifi, kitchen, bar, restaurant, hammocks. Great place to unwind. Peter is a top bloke who wants everyone to be happy and he loves to have a COLD beer with the guests. Easy to get there by road/bus from David. Cheers Peter. No complaints!
- Dennis (6/5): Cheap but not practical - Location Amenities
- Roger (8/5): Very good - The restaurant lounge was great and the staff was friendly The mosquitos and wifi
- Haydee (10/5): Exceptional - My experience was positive. Mr. Peter and his wife were very kind during my stay. The place is appropriate for people who enjoy the countryside and being relaxed. There is a stream on the property where you can take a dip or simply enjoy the sound of the stream. Also, if you wish, you can enjoy the restaurant, swimming pool, and adjacent natural waterfall where you have free admission to the facility. I recommend it to people who love a country atmosphere and serenity. .
- Wilfred (9/5): Superb - The hostel has a beautiful garden and a stream around the place. It is great just to dip in the water on a secluded place at the end of the garden. The vibe is good at this place.
- Michele (8/5): A short stay but a very relaxing one. Just what we wanted. - Breakfast was better than expected. Coffee was especially great. The owner, Peter was incredibly helpful. Informing us of the best places to visit during our holiday. He was full of interesting facts and local knowledge.The pool area with waterfalls on the property was lovely and great for our son. The wildlife with numerous birds and even a monkey was fantastic to be around. Our room was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. I would have no hesitation in recommending this place for a perfect getaway. Good value for money.
- Hugh (10/5): Highly recommend you stay here on your travels! - Amazing setting, a few miles outside David on the road to Boquete. The hostel has its own waterfall you can swim in, is on the edge of some of the last remaining ancient rainforest in the area so the gardens are full of birds, butterflies and flowers. Saw a sloth in one of the mango trees. Relaxed atmoshere, 2 pools, guest kitchen, wifi, bar, restaurant, hammocks etc. Peter the owner is very welcoming and know's a lot about the area and things to do, loves hanging out with the guests. Great place to unwind and enjoy the natural environment, Panama at its best. Cheers Peter. Only disappointment is I couldn't stay longer.
- Jonas (8/5): Very good - Great staff and interesting guests from all over the world!
- Emilia (8/5): Very good - Very hospitable and helpful host. We got a room with a bathroom because it was not occupied in that time even though we paid for the cheaper option, very nice. Good value for money, but you have to be aware that it's a budget option and don't expect luxury. -
- Herbst (1/5): Bad -
- Anonymous (2/5): Very poor - The sheets and towels were clean, but there were spiders and bugs under the blanket, when we crawled into bed. For the price we don’t expect any fancy room, but it should still meet basic hygiene requirements. That was not the case! The room hasn’t been cleaned in a long time.
- K.C (10/5): Nice waterfall ...river and pools by the river! - I stayed for 3 nights and I had a wonderful experience. The waterfall is a hidden gem....so naturally beautiful. I swam everyday and listened at night for the sounds of the water. The owner is so nice and he will do anything to please its customers. I had a private room and it had air condition and private bathroom. There is a kitchen to cook....and the pools are huge to swim....water comes directly from the waterfall. To get there its very easy...just take a bus from David via Boquete and ask the driver to leave you in the waterfall hostel. It's about 20 minutes from David.
- Eliezer (8/5): Waterfall Hostel, great place to stay in chiriqui! - My girlfriend and I had a great stay at the Waterfall Hostel. The staff was courteous and always willing to make our stay the best experience. The rooms are comfortable for the price tag. You get what you pay for. There's two pools and access to a waterfall. Overall, a great experience, will definetly book there again.
- Ryan (10/5): nicest hostel I've stayed in for quite sometime - I have stayed in many hostels in many different countries and this is the nicest I have stayed in awhile. nice, clean rooms, amazing staff and the coolest setting. I would highly recommend this hostel to anybody who is looking for a nice clean, quiet hostel outside the city center.
