Guest Reviews
- mywa26 (10/5): VolverĂa - Las instalaciones estan muy bien cuidadas y la piscina super fresca para el calor de David. Nada
- Malacinski (2/5): After many stays at this property this will be my last. 👎 - Close to bus Terminal that's about it. I stayed here many times in the past. This will be the last time. The property has really gone down hill. Kitchen used to be nice and enjoyed preparing meals. Now, not well stocked and kinda gross, 🤮 pool was dirty lots of leaves. Room was out front next to the road. I live at a hostel in Costa Rica. With a rating of 8.9. It's not that hard.
- Adrian (10/5): - Well priced, good value for money.
- Juan (8/5): Buen sitio, cĂłmodo, agradable y cerca de supermercados, restaurantes y parada de buses; area tranquila - La atenciĂłn del personal y la ubicaciĂłn No hay nada que no me haya gustado, todo estuvo muy bien
- Rigoberto (10/5): - Si Todo perfecto
- Guzman (10/5): Bueno - CĂ©ntrico
- trianae (10/5): -
- Yilsary (10/5): - Excelente
- Caroline (8/5): - The pool and the garden are lovely
- Maroto1979 (2/5): -
- Everardo (10/5): -
- Wendi (10/5): I got a nice room to myself with air conditioning. - Air conditioning. This hostel lets you have the air conditioner on 24 hours. Where as the other hostels I was staying at only let you turn on the air conditioner at night and you don't even need the air conditioner on at night as much too. You need the air conditioner on in the day more. There is also a hot water shower which is good and a kitchen. The kitchen didn't have a lighter. You need a lighter to start the propane stove, but I bought one.
- Caitlin (9/5): Very nice hostel, and a good price for what you get! - Really lovely hostel, pool is great and Luis, the owner, is really lovely and happy to help with anything. He ordered a taxi for me, and it was way cheaper than if I had ordered one for myself. Rooms are clean, get soap and a fresh towel with your stay and the AC works VERY well The kitchen could sometimes be a bit dirty, but it seemed that someone comes into clean it (not sure how regularly). My only recommendation (and it’s a bit of a weird one), would be to put hooks in the bathrooms to hang up towel/clothes when someone is showering. I didn’t really like having to put all my stuff on the floor.
- Tim (8/5): The perfect place to stay in David! - I stopped in David on the road between Panama City and Manuel Antonion in Costa Rica. Bambu Hostel was the perfect place to break the journey, and Luis, the manager is just awesome! So kind, friendly and welcoming. He's full of advice, and really made the stay an enjoyable one! The rooms are ample and the bed was comfortable. The location is a little distant from the centre HOWEVER it's about 100m from a bus stop on the main highway towards Paso Canoa, the Costa Rican border - so it was perfect! There's also a big supermarket nearby with a pleasant cafeteria. The outdoor entertaining area with a pool looked awesome as well, but I arrived late and it was the rainy season, so I didn't use it. If you want to be close to the centre of David, then be aware that this is about a 5 minute taxi ride. Uber works in David. Also, the room was a little narrow - it wasn't really an issue for me, but just in case that kind of thing bothers you. Honestly, I couldn't find fault with Bambu Hostel - I recommend it!
- Susan (8/5): very nice people there, will stay again if ever in David - price kitchen could be cleaner
- Dayne (10/5): Exceptional - Luis (owner) is extremely nice and friendly. Talked with him for hours about traveling around Central America. Great location near a supermarket and gym, and they have in house laundry so I was able to recharge before the next destination. Highly recommend!
- Maria (8/5): Very good -
- Adrienne (6/5): Friendly basic hostel - Hostel with basic rooms. Staff were very welcoming and kind, and the big bonus was the swimming pool which was great for my young son. Location was fine. It did not matter it was out of the town centre, David has uber. It was close to a supermarket. The place had a friendly vibe among other guests. Furnishing a little strange, and my son was confused by the vintage scary movie posters dotted around the property which I had to explain to him… King Kong etc… and the Bruce Lee mural in our room.
- Ondřej (8/5): Very good - Friendly staff,, location, nice garden and swimming poll. Very optimistic and inovative solution of electricity on shower. Maybe you will have lucky, as us, and will survive:-)
- Benjamin (7/5): Good - okay hostel for a night nothing fancy
- Alfredo (6/5): Pleasant -
- Stanley (9/5): We enjoyed our stay. Luis is very helpful. - Great value and location for our stay. The shower is short
- Raoul (7/5): Good - Nice hostel in a bit of a boring town. Small little comfy place to chill out.
- Gary (8/5): Very good -
- Louis (9/5): Superb - Great kitchen facilities, nice pool and chill out area. You can see the staff make a real effort to keep the place clean, comfy beds and good air-con. Great value for what you pay. Thankyou Bambu hostel!
- Beaudoin (7/5): Good -
- Bob (9/5): Great place to hide out for Xmas - Louis was helpful Felt big like being in prison with Locked entry but C’est la vie I don’t know lay of land and louie just looking out for us
- Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly knowledgeable staff, the location is near a good supermarket and great restaurants, the kitchen and pool area is very beautiful.
- Gaudhi (10/5): excellent affordable place - Chill Affordable Place!
- Mary (8/5): Beware of the pool. Looks so inviting but the steps are super slippery. I fell. - The staff ... Joe and Roger were the best! Everyone else was lazy and unhelpful I fell on the pool steps. Now I've noticed a nice big bony bump on my right knee. The floor of the pool was slick with something. Looked clean but fsll as if on ice Anything I can do now about this injury? I was there 2 very busy days and only now that I'm relaxed did I put it together. I was hurt falling in a dangerous, unsafe pool at the place. Mary Josephine Arrowsmith +506 8341 8494 Thank you. ♡
- Kevin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Arcia (9/5): Superb -
- Betty (4/5): Disappointing - The neighborhood. The supermarket is very close. Dirty bathrooms and dirty in general. Inconfortable bed. Horrible light in the dorm. AC is very noisy.
- Jonathan (4/5): Disappointing - I didn’t like the unprofessional way to talk to the Guest from the employees! they need to learn a little bit more of guest relation and problems solution
- Thabo (7/5): Good -
- Rubén (8/5): Very good -
- Leanne (7/5): Good for a couple of nights - Great to have a pool and the team were really friendly and helpful nothing wrong with the hostel, David is very quiet though and not much to do or see
- Kiera (6/5): Pleasant - The location is good there’s a nearby supermarket and restaurant. They had an ac which was nice. It was dirty and most of the staff acted like it was an inconvenience to speak with me. Except the lady working at the front was very nice and professional.
- Michael (6/5): Pleasant -
- Michael (9/5): A very nice hostel with a pool in David - This is a comfortable, friendly hostel located in a quiet neighborhood. Good kitchen facilities and comfortable beds. Very pleased that there is a pool at this hostel. The Fonda located across the street has a very good dish of the day - Platte del dia/almuerzo. There is a decent seafood restaurant at the end of the street. There is a large supermarket on the main road fairly close to the hostel. There are bus stops leading to the main bus terminal in David near the seafood restaurant at the end of the street and another in in front of the supermarket. The bus stop for buses leading out of the city center is across the street from the supermarket. The hostel supplies you with soap and a towel when you check in. Very friendly and helpful guests and staff. I reserved my bed using an empty water bottle. The bottle was removed by someone and I almost lost my chosen bed - a bottom bunk. Fortunately, the guest who thought the bed was available, let me reclaim my bed since they were only staying at the hostel 1 night.
- Matilda (6/5): lovely atmosphere but dorm needs serious improvement - very friendly and welcoming staff the dorm was dirty and the bed unstable and uncomfortable
- Bruno (9/5): An oasis in the city! -
- Gisela (1/5): Disgusting. - Just the fact that could share with nice guests. Open kitchen and open bar.
- Tedyblood (10/5): Memorable - I highly recommend staying at Bambu Hostel. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect for exploring the city. The common area was a great place to meet other travelers. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would definitely stay here again. All is Good
- Andreg (10/5): Exceptional -
- Giray (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julia (8/5): Very good - The room was clean and big. Ok bed to sleep. Toilet and shower as well. It was nice to sleep, cause it was so quiet. The staff was so nice and talked English. Also had tips from them how to catch a bus etc. AC quite poor. I thought (by pictures) that the place would be much nicer. For example the pool was dirty, so I didn't use it. The kitchen needs more equipments (cutlery, bowls, cuttingboards...) and fridge/freezer some cleaning.
- Garth (8/5): Good value - thank you - Appreciated being greeted by the owner; he was pleasant and helpful. Kitchen has potable water. Pool area is nice. Appreciated air conditioning in the dorm, and curtains on the bunk beds. Hostel was two miles from the bus terminal; reasonable walking distance, but further than I would have liked (at least during mid-day sun).
