Guest Reviews
- Cornelis (8/5): -
- Maya (9/5): - Nice pool, rooms, and lobby area Mattress was very noisy
- viola (9/5): Posizione buona per visitare la città. - L’atmosfera che si respira, molto rilassante e piacevole.
Lo staff accogliente ed amichevole pronto ad aiutarti.
La pulizia veramente ottima. Niente
- Katrin (7/5): Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt okay, aber nicht länger! - Der Außenbereuch ist sehr schön, jedoch benötigt er mehrere Renovierungsarbeiten zB. Pool, Tische etc.
Auch innen die Toiletten sollte man auf den neusten Stand bringen. Das Frühstück ist im Preis enthalten und okay. Der 14er-Dorm ist ein Witz - die oberen Betten haben weder eine Ablage, noch einen Vorhang. Dauernd scheint das Licht durch die Fenster rein und an Privatsphäre ist kaum zu denken. Mir ist bewusst, dass es ein Hostel ist - aber bei einem großen Dorm wären Vorhänge angebracht.

- Kerstin (8/5): Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt in Panama geeignet. - Die Unterkunft war zentral gelegen und das Doppelzimmer gut ausgestattet. Das Bad war einigermaßen sauber und es reichte für die zwei Tage, die wir vor Ort waren! Das Personal war eher unfreundlich und man hatte das Gefühl man würde sie mit Fragen schon sehr nerven…
Wir mussten außerdem durch ein Dorm gehen, um zu unserem Doppelzimmer zu kommen. Für uns nicht schlimm, aber für die Dorm-Bewohner vielleicht nicht so cool im Durchgang zu schlafen.
- Luisa (9/5): -
- Sarah (6/5): Nicht ganz überzeugt - Gute Lage!
Es war meine zweite Nacht im Hostel, für kürzere Aufenthalte zu empfehlen. Das Bett war sooo unbequem, die vorgefertigte Kuhle hat dazu beigetragen. Wenn man eins der unteren betten hat, spürt man jede Drehung oder Bewegung des oben Liegenden. Eigentlich wackelt das ganze Bett.
War jetzt das zweite Mal im Bodhi in Panama City, leider hat es mich beim zweiten Mal nicht überzeugt.
- Lenin (10/5): -
- Eran (1/5): - את הבריכה הדורמס מסריח מלא אנשים בחדר אחד מכבים לך את המזגן ב9:30 בבוקר ופותחים את הוילונות
- Tine (5/5): -
- Arantxa (8/5): Fijn, ruim verblijf! - Hele ruime kamer met een degelijke badkamer. Het zwembad was fijn ter verkoeling en er waren een hoop spelletjes aanwezig ter vermaak. Het is verder wel een rustig hostel, dus geen geluidsoverlast of iets! Het ontbijt was simpel, pannekoeken of ei met toast en wat vers fruit, maar dat was helemaal prima. Het bed kraakt wel als je je omdraait en er is niet altijd warm water. Veel personeel kan geen Engels, maar ze probeerden je wel te helpen waar mogelijk (google translate werkt prima)!
- Navarro (6/5): -
- Justine (9/5): -
- Coffey (9/5): - I really liked the pool and the breakfast was really good. I stayed in a big dorm, but the room was enormous.
- Carlos (10/5): El personal fue muy amable, la ubicación es muy buena, fue muy fácil llegar desde el metro - La ubicación es perfecta, esta cerca del metro y te puedes mover fácilmente
- Roos (9/5): - Ruime kamers en vriendelijk personeel. Ontbijt wisselt elke dag, goede portie. Wij hadden een privé kamer met queensize bed, was fijn. Deelde de badkamer met 1 andere privé kamer. We hebben 1 nacht in ‘goedkoopste’ prive kamer geslapen. Die kamer kom je door door een dorm heen te lopen, badkamer deel je ook met de dorm. Dat vonden wij niet fijn en stond vooraf ook niet goed beschreven.
- Fabienne (8/5): - Super Lage & schöne Anlage
- Sanne (6/5): -
- Luisa (8/5): -
- Sarah (8/5): - Gute Ausgangslage!
Frühstück war auch gut, darüber kann man sich absolut nicht beschweren. Guter Start in den Tag. Schade, dass die oberen Betten keine Vorhänge haben, wenig Stauraum für Rucksack.
- Ilja (7/5): Good value for money. - Nice swimming pool and breakfast. Airco was really good, not too much noise and working really well. There was no mirror in the room. The wifi wasn't working good. The shared bathroom had a key which was annoying at night in the dark.
- Alberto (10/5): -
- Carlo (9/5): -
- Erika (8/5): -
- Malgorzata (7/5): - Is quiet AC was really low during the night when we were cold, me personally got sick and it made my travel terrible, I did ask several times to change it either beds to be far away, but it didn’t work. Is more hotel hostel vibe, quiet but no life and seems some people stay / live there long term.
- Johanna (8/5): -
- Elsa isabel (8/5): - Ambiente é o staff As almofadas gordas e o colchão,conseguia ouvir tudo,até o mínimo barulho..
- Mahon (9/5): - Staff was amazing and amenities of the hostal as well as location are super great! That I needed to leave.
- Thiault (9/5): ¡Una opción muy recomendable! - Excelente hostal para disfrutar de Ciudad de Panamá. Está ubicado en un barrio muy práctico, con todas las comodidades cerca.
Las habitaciones y los baños son ultraconfortables y están impecables. Se agradece que el aire acondicionado funcione por la noche junto con los ventiladores. Las zonas comunes son lo mejor, especialmente la cocina bien equipada y el área de la piscina, que es superagradable. El desayuno no es nada del otro mundo, pero se agradece que esté incluido.
- Luis Alberto (10/5): -
- Margot (10/5): - Emplacement super, chambre nickel et la piscine est un vrai plus ! Je recommande.
- Karine (7/5): -
- omer (4/5): נחמד סביר - הבריכה ממש נחמדה נקייה
אווירה נחמדה
נעים לשבת בסלון
אינטרנט טוב
מטבח נעים ומאובזר המיטה הייתה נוראית ממש כאילו אין קפיצים רק באמצע שקעתי כל הלילה לאמצע המזרון זה היה נוראי
אין סופר גדול ליד
- Alejandro (8/5): -
- João Martins (10/5): - Ambiente amigável e acolhedor :)
- Masami (9/5): 居心地が良い! - 清潔でスペースにゆとりがある。またスタッフも親切だった。 あえて言えばメトロから徒歩15分くらいと、シャワー室にシャンプーがないこと。
- Merle (8/5): Für ein paar Tage Panama ein sehr guter Ort! - Sehr nettes Personal, gute und sichere Lage. Ich hatte alles was ich brauchte. Leider ging das Wasser in den oberen Stockwerken nicht. Das lag aber an einem Problem in ganz Panama City.
- Michaela (9/5): Nice room - Nice room, with enough space, nice stuff, good breakfast, cool outside pool, clean everywhere. no wardrobe
- Mika (8/5): -
- beamins (8/5): Muy bien! - La zona de la piscina está muy bien y los baños estaban nuevos. El personal muy amable. Podría mejorar el desayuno.
- Maribel (10/5): - La tele y la cama El baño
- Andreas (10/5): -
- Edith (10/5): -

- Susan (7/5): -
- Cristian (7/5): -
- Hannah (8/5): Fijn verblijf in Panama City - Leuke kamer en heerlijk ontbijt! We moesten door een slaapzaal wandelen naar onze kamer. Ook de sanitaire voorzieningen waren in deze slaapzaal. Dat vonden we vreemd.
- Mathe (9/5): -
- Mathe (9/5): -
- Julia (8/5): Top! - Van alle gemakken voorzien. Leuk zwembad en prima privékamer. Het personeel was erg vriendelijk. Wij hadden een boottocht van een aantal dagen geboekt en mochten kosteloos onze bagage bij het hotel achterlaten. Super service! Niets.
- Raquel (9/5): - Estava tudo muito limpinho, a localização é ótima e o pessoal do staff é muito gentil! Além disso, o café da manhã estava muito gostoso! Achei o colchão um pouquinho duro.
- Julia (8/5): -
- Lars (8/5): Schönes Zimmer, enttäuschendes Personal - Das Zimmer war groß, geräumig und gut ausgestattet! Wir kamen zu früh zum Check-in und obwohl wir nach längerer Anreise extrem erschöpft waren und das Zimmer laut der Rezetionistin Oriz schon fertig war hat sie uns erst um exakt 15:00 Uhr das Zimmer betreten lassen. Früher durften wir nicht aufs Zimmer „weil das die Regel sei“. So mussten wir noch 45 Minuten in der Lobby warten. Es ist sehr nachvollziehbar, das Zimmer nicht vor der Zeit beziehen zu dürfen, wenn es noch nicht fertig ist. Es uns aber nicht eine Dreiviertelstunde früher beziehen zu lassen, einfach nur, weil das die Regel ist, kam uns nicht besonders service-orientiert vor und hat uns sehr geärgert.
Im Anschluss gab es noch Unstimmigkeiten mit unserer Wäsche. Das hat nicht dazu geführt, dass unsere Stimmung besser wurde.
- Mathe (9/5): -
- Alanna (10/5): Great stay, location was good & room was comfortable - Perfect stay in a small hostel. Private room had everything we needed and was comfortable and in a good location
- DUVER ABRAHAM (10/5): -
- Céline (9/5): -
- Pedro (8/5): É Hostel compartilhado galera então tem estar disposto a compartilhar. - Localização e custo benefício.
- Ryan (10/5): - Location, cleanliness, comfort and modernity of the hostel. The private room was tastefully furnished, exceptionally clean and enormous. And came with a fridge and ac so great for beating the heat and enjoying cold drinks. The free breakfast looked great but I never tried. The dorms are also very comfortable and great value. Nothing
- Ingrid (6/5): Female solo traveler review 🌞🪴🍒 I initially felt a bit unsure about this hostel, but it turned out to be a great place -
- Julian (9/5): - - gute Lage
- sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal
- einfaches aber leckeres Frühstück
- entspannter Vibe
- Maddi (8/5): Un oasis en medio de la ciudad - El personal y sensación de calma en medio del caos El tener que pasar por una habidación para llegar a la nuestra
- Marina (9/5): Super - Súper nettes Personal , sauber und ruhiges Dorm.
Frühstück ist klein aber sehr nette Geste. Die Gegend ist sehr sicher und man ist in7 Gehminuten an der Metrostation. Küche ist super ausgestattet , toller Pool
- Janike (9/5): -
- Albert (9/5): -
- Lorena (10/5): - Todo perfecto!!
- Yuna (10/5): -
- Fabienne (8/5): Première étape à Panama City - Grande chambre mais manque d'intimité car pas de porte entre la chambre et la salle d'eau -toilettes. Petit déjeuner extrêmement simple mais les pancakes sont excellents. Réception ouverte la nuit, très pratique quand notre avion atterrit à 1h00 du matin Le manque d'intimité, petit déjeuner un peu juste
- Karl (9/5): Top séjour - Bel endroit au ❤️ de Panama city,
Bien situé
Dortoir spacieux
Personnel agréable
Endroit sécurisé
Parfait pour y faire étape
+ petit dej compris de qualité
Rapport qualité/prix +++
- Angelica (8/5): It is comfortable, clean, safe, and close to everything. - The pool was a nice size and great that the pool area is sunny yet there is shaded area. The breakfast was good.
- emanuela (9/5): - La stanza molto grande e dotata di ogni comfort.
La posizione e la tranquillità dell'area relax. Il bagno senza porta
- Stefano1987 (8/5): - Super nice and friendly staff
Every morning breakfast
Nice chill area around the pool
Big balcony for the dorm Mattress a bit hard
Located in the financial area however old town seems to be the place to be
- Verónica (10/5): Ambiente relajado y personal amable - El personal nos ayudó en todo y fue muy amable, las instalaciones son muy bonitas y el ambiente es muy tranquilo. Repetiríamos seguro. El desayuno podría haber estado mejor: huevos revueltos con pan tostado y un poco de fruta. Para beber té o café.
- Scarlett (8/5): - Nice pool and quiet location.
- Janou (7/5): - Het zwembad was heel relaxed, en erg fijn dat je ontbijt krijgt Ik had geen wifi op de slaapkamer en de bovenste bedden hebben geen gordijnen dus niet heel veel privacy. Ook de opbergruimte vond ik minder handig (laag onder het bed + ik miste een plankje bij het bed). Ik heb ook accomodaties in casco viejo gehad en qua locatie hangt het af van wat je zoekt. Je zit hier in het zakelijke centrum dus het is een stuk rustiger en je hebt veel minder opties qua restaurants/cafes etc. Met een uber echter prima te doen naar het oude centrum.
- Charles (10/5): The best run hostel I have ever stayed in - Perfect location in Marbella I met so many great people but they moved to other places in Panama 😢
- Carolina (9/5): -
- Karla (10/5): - Eu amei tudo ! Os funcionários simpáticos e atenciosos,as instalações,tudo muito confortável e limpo, além da localização ser excelente,me senti muito segura ao andar pelo bairro ! Nota mil !
- Gerald (8/5): - Easy and seemingly safe part of town, breakfast is what'd you expect but always nice and I felt well helped by all the staff I interacted with A cardinal sin: There was no outlets in my bed so the lights, fan installed and most importantly my phone charger were there just for show. Shower stalls were also tiny.
- DANIELA (10/5): - Las areas verdes y la amplia habitacion El baño de la pieza no tenia puerta
- Alem-Lebel (10/5): - Le personnel est très accueillant et l'établissement est super bien entretenu. J'y retournerai, certainement.
- Massimo (8/5): -
- Marta (9/5): -
- Andreas (8/5): - Good infrastructure, friendly staff
- Anke (9/5): - Nettes Hostel, im Vgl zu Casco di Viejo ruhiger. Gut ausgestattete Küche. -
- Francis (9/5): - Fonctionnel propre efficace
- Sarah (9/5): -
- Miguel Caicedo (10/5): - Excelente atención Nada
- Rouven (9/5): -
- Massimo (9/5): - Posto molto ben tenuto, pulizia impeccabile,cucina grande e molto funzionale,il personale prontissimo ad aiutare e sempre con il sorriso, ottimo qualita’ prezzo e buonissima posizione. Niente
- Cécile (8/5): -
- Qin (8/5): It is a nice place, I only wished that we had hot water for shower - Staff are nice and we can cook our own dinner No hot water for shower
- Ellie (6/5): Ok, maar volgende keer in het oude centrum - Ik heb hier inmiddels verschillende keren een hostel geboekt, maar dit keer viel het mij toch tegen. Het bed en het kussen, de douche was ok. Volgende keer gewoon lekker in het oude centrum
Leuk om vanaf hier over de promenade naar het oude centrum te lopen, dat vind ik het pluspunt Zie hierboven
- ChiaChi (9/5): - Everything is clean, especially shower and restroom.
The bed and sheets are the best I have ever slept in hostels. Could have more privacy for upper beds :)
- Jamie (5/5): Fine for a few nights, quiet space. - Nice pool, big room with strong AC, nice pool Felt safe but there was really nothing in the area. When I checked in someone just showed me to my room and where the bathroom was, never saw any friendliness from them other than the person that made breakfast in the morning. I asked if I could drink the two water once because the jug seemed empty and didn't really get an answer. Was hoping for a social vibe but didn't get that at all - I imagine that depends a bit on who's staying there but feel like there should have been events to facilitate that. About a 15-30 min uber to casco viejo (historic center & nightlife) but not being away from even a bar to go to was a bummer when on vacation. Also, the shower rod fell on my head every time I showered. I had a private room and my bedroom light had a constant flicker. if I turned the ceiling fan on it made an awful noise. I didn't mention this to anyone so maybe they would have changed the bulb or fixed it if I had, but it was irritating. Overall Not a bad experience, just fine.
- Mafalda (8/5): - Energia do espaço
