Guest Reviews
- Ilia (8/5): -
- Ramirez (8/5): - Jossee muy amable, el lugar estaba limpio y los gatitos eran muy amigables. A 15 mins aprox caminando desde la terminal. Está un poco lejos del centro, pero para ir de paso está genial.
- YOHEI (10/5): - オーナーが優しい、犬猫がかわいい、キッチンを使える、バスターミナルから近い、安い
- Gonzalez (5/5): -
- Sidney (8/5): - The owner made me feel really comfortable. I had a great time with her.
- Stefan (8/5): - Comfy bed, hammock, all I needed for a one-night stay between buses
- Joost (6/5): -
- Lucy (6/5): - Comfortable enough, appreciated having a fan each. Location was pretty good and the owner was good to us. There were rodent droppings on the windowsill and we had to call every time to get into our out of the property. A lot of the signage was very passive aggressive and not very welcoming!
- Mira (7/5): - Aircondition in the room.
- Patrick (10/5): - Really Sweet Hostel the owner is a nice Woman that makes you feel very welcome
- Mario (9/5): Repos assuré - En dortoir. Les gens disciplinés, respectueux. Le lit parfait. Air climatisé de 18h à 11h
Frigo, cuisinette. Beau solarium.
3-4 chats, 1 chien.
La proprio A1
À 10 minutes de la ville, aucun bruit, la sainte paix
J'y rechargerai mes énergies une prochaine fois Retiré de la ville. 👌

- VALDES AISPRUA (7/5): Regular - Que era cerca de david Poco espacio para estacionar, el precio que pague no incluia el aire acondicionado..era un costo adicional
- Lorenzon (9/5): - Ostello pieno di cani e gatti. la padrona di casa molto accogliente, ha saputo consigliarci ottimi posti dove mangiare cucina locale
- kati (7/5): - Pokoj měl svoji koupelnu, což je velká výhoda. Oceňuji možnost vyprat prádlo a použít kuchyň. Děkujeme taky za možnost parkovat auto u domu (za brankou).
- Bianca (2/5): -
- Yakeydi (7/5): Precio justo por lo ofrecido. Para dormir a bajo costo. Lleve toalla, jabón. - Precio Parking.
- Daniel David (7/5): - Tenia gatos lindos
Ofrece lavadas. Tenía muchos gatos (asi 10 o 12)
Lavada sin secada (secar con aire)
- Ines (6/5): - Close to. Park shopping. And green areas Open area for. Lounging. Mosquitos
- Sarah (9/5): - It was a really nice place with welcoming people and good vibe. The terrasse is cute, cool place to chill and met the other guests or play with the cats.

- Marlenis (10/5): Comodidad y tranquilidad - Comodidad, ubicación y trato cordial de la señora Josee
- gianareas (10/5): Mi Experiencia en un Hostal - Excelente lugar con muy buema atención y precios competitivos
- Madrid (10/5): - La atención y comodidad de la habitación
- Cesar (1/5): Pésimo trato la señora es muy irrespetuosa y altanera. Además muy sucio todo mal, olores muy feos - Primeramente expresarlas mi molestia por el mal trato del hostal, la señora desde que llegamos fue insolente, me grito, me trató muy mal, nos habló con voz muy fuerte y despreciativa, casi racista, no nos quiso brindar el hospedaje y tras de eso con desprecios e insultos a mis hijos gemelos de 12años apenas. Me parece que la app no debería tener enlaces con este tipo de socios dñque empañan su imagen y perjudican a los clientes. Yo soy un cliente muy habitual, y es la primera vez que recibo este mal trato. Les agradezco tomen cartas en este asunto ya que pasamos una situación muy incomoda, nos hizo esperar 1 hora y 30minutos para gritarnos y decirnos que ella no aceptaba niños ahí, y que no tenía nada de que hablar con nosotros, que ella no nos había rentado, que nos arreglaremos con booking y nos echo y cerró el portón en la cara. Linda noche Nosotros realizamos la revelación de manera habitual indicamos que eramos 3 adultos y 2 niños, creímos que la app era confiable y llegamos a la hora acordada, la sorpresa al llegar al lugar que nos topamos con una señora intransigente y mal genial, que nos hizo esperar más de 1 hora para luego corrernos a la calle con niños y sin saber que hacer en un país extranjero.

- Yu (10/5): -
- 123 (7/5): - Walkable from bus station, but not very close either. More like staying at a cat lady house than a hostel in any real sense, not a social or memorable place but it's nice she takes care of the animals. But I just needed a bed for the night before going to airport. Average clean, a bit messy. Smells of cat and dog
- Harry (8/5): Sin perros en la cocina. - Estaba bien, buena Ubicación
La habitación estaba Súper
Y el baño Limpió. No me parece que tengan
Perros en la cocina .
- Cristina (5/5): - Das Zimmer war gross für 2 Pers. Im Haus waren zu viele Tiere und den Geruch war sehr stark und störend.
- YUAN (8/5): - 房东太太很热情,英语好,能提供巴士等信息。离车站和市中心都在步行距离。 设施老旧了些,不过这个也很难改变。房东太太一个人维护这个房子来说,也是不容易的。
- Royter (10/5): Sencillez, precio justo y mucho amor por los animales - La anfitriona fue muy receptiva, recibiéndome muy bien incluso llegando tarde a David. Su cuidado con los gatitos muestra su gran corazón, y los dos perros son un amor. El lugar es sencillo, con buena ubicación y precio accesible; lo que se ofrece es totalmente compatible con lo que se paga. ¡Muchas gracias!
- Alexis (10/5): -
- Domingo (9/5): - Atencion
- Dmytro (2/5): Не рекомендую, хіба на одну ніч! - Власниця дуже груба в спілкуванні.
Це більше схоже на притулок для тварин, а не хостел, тут 2 великі собаки і мінімум 6 котів, які ходять по столах та посуді.
В будинку поганий запах собачої шерсті.
В кімнаті було дуже жарко, 2 шумних вентилятори працювали всю ніч.
- Myriam (7/5): -
- Ricardo Muñoz (10/5): -
- Brito (9/5): Lugar acogedor para los que les gusta los animales - El precio La ubicación en horas de la noche no se puede llegar a pie porque las calles a las que lleva al hostal son oscuras y solas, si o si taxi y los taxis de la ciudad son oportunistas y cobran caro si no eres de allí.
- Michaud (10/5): -
- Cosme (7/5): -
- de jong (5/5): -
- matias (9/5): -
- Wendi (7/5): - Good price. No ac on in the day.
- CHUNLING (1/5): 老板老太婆,奸诈恶毒,卫生很差,人畜交叉感染 - 一店老板是个加拿大老太婆,利用小动物,诱导住客把房费直接给她,装惨装可怜,你要发票就换了一副嘴脸,报警才有用。二老太婆翻脸比书还快,她占便宜开心她会抽烟庆祝。她有一点不高心马上翻脸,堪比狗脸。三她脑子有意思,她把她自己当成祖宗都要服从她,比如她会告诉每一个年轻人去小镇中心走那条最远最黑的路,他会说最近的一两分钟就到汽车站的捷径如何危险。还比如他会告诉年轻人们当地人很坏,但实际上巴拿马人民非常善良热情助人为乐,她一个加拿大老太婆住在巴拿马,在巴拿马赚钱,吃巴拿马的,住巴拿马的,背后还骂巴拿马,说巴拿马人民坏话,有什么仇什么恨,不喜欢你可以回你加拿大老家呀。当面跟人家笑嘻嘻的背后就说人家这不好那不好。这是加拿大的耻辱。三老太婆特别喜欢刨根问底打听你的隐私你父母隐私还假装一边干活一遍随嘴一问,其实你不说出他要的他会一直问下去。毫无边界感,六十岁了啥都懂,装洋蒜。只要跟前有关立马让你知道什么叫做人心险恶,只有报警,因为恶人都怕警察。对了老太婆会PUA洗脑说报警也没用,不会管,其实不是的他骗人。巴拿马警察非常公正。很赞。很棒.而且一视同仁。巴拿马是个伟大的国家非常友好。
- Laura (5/5): - El alojamiento está muy bien situado cerca de la terminal de autobuses. La habitación y el baño son bastante espaciosos y la atención por parte del personal fue muy buena.
- Micaela (5/5): -
- David Calero (8/5): -
- Bernhard (7/5): - It was close to the center It just had one toilet/shower (in one roome) for the entire hostel to use. Luckily it's off-season and not many people were there. But there is also no sink to wash your hands in the bathroom, hence one always needs to go into the kitchen
Also the buttons on the stove were removed so you always had to ask the owner before they could cook
- Julian (7/5): - Its a good hostel if you want to catch the bus and sleep a night there as it is close, ether by walking or taxi which isn’t expensive.
I can not say a lot about David as i only have been there for a short night.
- José María Arriagada (9/5): Muy buen lugar por su ambiente local y ubicación - Ubicación y patio N/a
- Travelling (7/5): Good - Hostess is nice and friendly
Location
Space
Kitchen Smelly dogs. But they were well behaved, lots of cats who minded their own business.
- Jimenez (10/5): It was great. - Great location. No noise. Host was excellent.
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Palacios (10/5): Exceptional - The place is about 5 min walking away of the Downtown. I had a nice stay and if I visit David again definitely I'll stay in the hostel again
- Martin (8/5): Very good - It’s currently the best value hostel in David. Met a few cool people. It wasn’t so bad for me, but be aware that the property has multiple cats and dogs. If you have pet allergies this isn’t the place for you.
- Irene (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cedric (9/5): Superb - Great place to stay, the owner are very friendly, if you like dogs and cats its a nice place to stay....
I recommend it
- Jule (10/5): Very friendly - The owner is very nice and offers great information and inspiration on what to in the area :)
- Ruan (5/5): Passable -
- Michael (8/5): Cheap and convenient - it is close to the bus station. The bed is comfortable and the cats are pleasant to be around There isnt a sink inside the bathroom
- Jakub (1/5): Bad - Really unpleasant owner, screaming for making mess in a place which is really dirty (especially in kitchen, how can anyone cooks there…) and smells with cats urine (I love animals but this was very intense- like house your lonely cat aunt, which hates to clean up and is angry about loneliness).
Although, is cheap so for one night you can survive.
Not recommend
- Matas (2/5): Many cats and dogs have a bad smell - Many cats and dogs have a bad smell, hostel is very unclean, the location is bad, hot in the rooms.
- Ara (7/5): Good -
- Javi (2/5): Not the best choice - Good location near bus station and down town Stayed there for two nights. The lady who is running the place is a bit rude. Didn’t feel home since first minute
- Lorena (6/5): You pay for what you get - It felt a little unsafe. I showed up late at night and just entered the house. There was no one to stop or asked me who I was before entering the property.
- Sophie (3/5): Poor - Close to the bus terminal and the owner was kind Everywhere smells like cats and dogs and their poop. There is nowhere comfortable to sit. You can’t leave without someone unlocking the gate for you, and everything managerial was done in slow motion.
- Jefhersson (1/5): I would not recommend staying at this place. Here are the main reasons: 1. Unhygienic Environment: The property houses - Nothing Unhygienic environment, unprofessional host, health hazard, hidden cost
- David (10/5): Exceptional - Only minutes from bus station and city centre Friendly, helpful host
- Anne-mari (10/5): Perfect - Wonderful place and good location.Owner of the hostel is super😀😀
- Greg (10/5): Exceptional -
- Greg (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marzulli (1/5): House left to itself, messy, chaotic, the owner quiet, maybe a little too much (4:20) - Reaaaallu reaaaally bad
- Erika (5/5): Passable -
- Xuemin (8/5): Very good -
- Stefan (7/5): Good - Friendly, fair price , terrace, Nothing for people allergic to cats or dogs, plenty of them running around in the hostel.
- Chii (5/5): I think the lady should learn how to get along with people rather than animals only. - They don't use air conditioner for me is a good thing. We have to ask everything before use it. The lady boss mixed her personal things every where. Also there are more than 10 cats occupied the chairs as their bed.
- Zac (6/5): Lovely owner overwhelming space - Staff were lovely, nice and close to bus terminal. Lovely homely and welcoming feeling. Very cluttered spaces, most appliances were broken or in repair, kitchen was virtually unusable and very oddly organised. Lovely animals but so so many for such a small place, cats walking all over kitchen worktops and tables and chairs. It felt more like staying at someone's house than a hostel.
- Catherine (7/5): Good - The owner was very friendly and very helpful. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. There is a bathroom attached to the dorm. Private rooms can either also use that bathroom or go to the back covered verandah. You have to like having a dog's and cats around the house. I didn't find them a problem. You can walk to town 10 - 15m or taxi $2. It is a good economical overnighter.
- Rick (10/5): Very pleasant, thanks! - The proprietess was very helpful and the handyman even got my phone working again when it went black. Perhaps it was mentioned in the booking materials, but it wasnt clear to me if cooking facilities were available for guests. As it happened I got food in the morning at the bus station, so no problem.
- Edward (4/5): Give this place a miss - This is one of those rare places that have literally nothing to like about them. Like, zero The hostel, although seemingly close to the bus station, isn't really close, and the walk isn't safe at all.
The hostel is basically an old house, run by incredibly strange people. I checked in late, and the manager demanded that I go to the toilet *right now* because going to the toilet later will be disruptive to other guests. Seriously bizarre.
The rest of the place is a series of messy accidents; the room was ridiculously crowded, with way too many beds than what should be there, the ac wasn't working, the fan not really coping, the beds were on the brink of ruin and always felt like they're one turn away from collapsing on you, the shower stank, the whole place was just hostile and creepy.
I'd honestly rather sleep in the bus station next time.
- Alexa (10/5): Exceptional - Loved all the animals! and the host helped me a bunch to find the correct (and cheaper) bus
- Alexa (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (4/5): Disappointing -
- Linsay (7/5): The hostel is basic and good, but read the reviews so you know what you will get. - When I entered the hostel I was welcomed by the host and the cute kittens <3
There are a nice amount of animals in this hostel, which I LOVE! But wouldn't recommend for anyone that has allergy.
Although the pets are being kept out of the rooms.
It's a very basic hostel, it was good for one night. The room was very very hot, even with 2 fans it was too hot for me to have a proper sleep.
- Christopher (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gloria (8/5): Very good -
- Iara (7/5): Good -
- Subarayan (7/5): Good -
- John (9/5): Superb - Really good value, close to the bus station and the owner is a really nice lady and very helpful 😊
- Eduard (5/5): Passable -
- Sarah (10/5): Lovely host and animals, good location - The owner is absolutely lovely, I felt very welcome. Big chillout area and the location is a 12 minute walk from the bus Station
The cats and dogs are a big plus for me but you have to be an animal lover to be here!
- Roy (9/5): Superb - Wonderful staff. Very comfortable.
Good location. No complaints
- Benjamin (5/5): Was all right but.... - Good location near the transports, chill vibes and lots of cats in the hostel <3 ! Would be more pleasant without the dogs sniffing around and barking in the morning. The place is so full of stuff it looks like a storage warehouse.
- Katherine (5/5): Passable - Floors and bathroom were dirty and shared kitchen was filthy. Dirty dishes left everywhere and not a single clean silverware. I washed someone else's used knife and used a ladle to try and eat my papaya. Multiple cats climbing over all the counters and dishes all the time I love cats, but not all over the kitchen!
- Miguel (9/5): Superb - Pros: Price and location (really safe area althought some streets in this part of David should have more lights)
Cons: Some people might not like dogs or cats on the comun areas.
- Dorosenco (10/5): Exceptional - Nice and quiet place with pets. I've been provided with catalog of local tourist places I even didn't know about. Friendly and helpful staff.
- Clara (3/5): Poor - The place was so poor, in a random location, the room was so dirty and smelt so bad.
- Muir (6/5): Pleasant - kind owner, cute animals, helpful advice, met kind travelers there and handy if needing to get to the bus station about 10 minute walk. very small house that was turned into a hostel, no curtains on beds, but messy but does the job!
