What a cool spot! All staff were friendly and helpful (and a special shout out to Javier at the restaurant who provided some good recommendations and great conversation). Super unique hostel, to be able to stay in a castle (or any of the outdoor hobbit homes), and has some beautiful views. The place was really quiet (fair, being off-season), but I could see the place being super social with more people around. The downstairs indoor pool and bar area, upstairs movie room, and big dining areas are all a nice treat!

I had no issues as the $4 shuttle was easy to arrange (otherwise easy to grab a taxi), but note that the property is about an hour walk to the downtown core area. I had an issue trying to find a taxi operating early enough to bring me to the bus stop after the one I had arranged didn't show up, just something to keep in mind when booking onwards travel.

Super friendly people and realy nice location to relax a bit. They have a restaurant wich is not super expensive and serve breakfast. The showers & toilets were always clean. The bed were super comfy and they had real blankets! It is a bit outside, but this was nice to relax. To the most hiking spots you have to take a shuttle anyway because they are outside of town. The next supermarket is 20min to walk. The shuttle to town is 4-5$ per way (for 2 people 2$ each then).

the room had a bit a weird smell and on some parts of the ceiling there are spots wich seam like mold. They are renovating a lot, i hope they will renovate the rooms too soon.

It’s very unique in its setting and design with multiple themes. Hobbit and Castle. Plus they continue to expand and improve the premises.

Need minor maintenance. Our shower hot water leaked and couldn’t be shut completely. This also caused the floor to get damp from splatter if the curtain was not closed completely. The humidity was high upon entry and the linens absorbed this giving us a chili night. Once the humidifier was activated this problem was reduced. A small spacer heater would’ve been nice to have. Staff is friendly but they need to be more explicit on the details for any added amenities. The inclusion of breakfast was confusing as to what is offered. Part of the menu all of the menu just a single selection. We couldn’t understand and had to pay extra. This is not a one night stay if you want to to take a tour or two. Or it’s the rainy season.

The view is stunning, the staff are adorable and kind and helpful. Just very sweet people. The room was more like a cabin which was spacious, well equipped, quiet and comfortable. The pool was cool but usable, the Jacuzzi was great after a full day of activities and walking. The restaurant/bar was clean, the food and drink was just fine. The coffee was amazing. The grounds are pleasant and easy to walk.

We love to walk, so we walked the 2.4 miles each way to town every day, even though the trip back gains several hundred feet in elevation. Perhaps they could offer a twice a day shuttle to Boquete.

We stayed in the hobbit house and it was so cute with a lovely view and the privacy of a little porch. The room and bathroom were bigger than I expected. It was so so cute! The restaurant had great views and a lovely breeze. The staff was amazing! The front desk reception helped us many times and they helped with a smile! The rooms were cleaned everyday and we were given fresh towels which was so nice! There was laundry service which saved my life! I would definitely stay again and highly recommend!

The only thing I wish is that the hobbit house had air conditioning or a bigger/stronger fan. I think most people would be fine, I just happen to run hot ;-)

In general I liked it. Quiet with a nice view although they had some construction going on it was ok for us as the hours of works were non disturbing.It is a cosy place , remote location from the Boquete town but easy to order a taxi ( sometimes they charge for a ride 4$ sometimes 6$.I think it is a walking distance to town as well. It is nice to have a breakfast at the balcony with a view. The triple room was basic ( but this is what I expected) but with comfy beds. Few things needs maintenance in a bathroom- robinet , leaking toilet flush. Overall It was a good choice for us for 3 days to explore Boquete surroundings. I like also the common kitchen located at the swimming pool level. I am addicted to evening herbal tea, so I could prepare it myself. Also a plus when you travel with kids, it is convenient to prepare sth. outside of restaurant hours.

Noisy people in adjacent room as the walls are not sound proof enough

The views are absolutely beautiful and the swimming pool and jacuzzi area was lovely. My dorm room had a double bed in it that I managed to get, and it was so quiet and comfy. Perfect for travellers who want to relax and have peace. You can walk 35 mins to town or pay about five dollars for a taxi - it's not an issue at all! My transfer and tours stopped at the hostel anyway.

Wifi doesn't work very well in the dorm room

Bambuda castle is lovely! Some of my favorite features were the views, the kitchen, the people I met staying in the dorm, the luxorious dorm bathroom, my comfy bunk, and the highly enjoyable pool and hot tube. I also appreciated the affordable menu and drink prices.

You have to pay extra for towels. Also, the water in my shower in my dorm bathroom wasn’t hot. But, the hot tub is very hot! So if you shower after the hot tub, it’s okay.

Beautiful garden bungalow; the room was very comfortable and clean. The staff was also super helpful and welcoming. The site is slightly outside the center of Boquete, which is fine by car and gives the full mountain vibes

The garden bungalow we were in was on the parking which tended to be a bit noisy with people leaving their engine on or leaving early morning. If you go, ask for a bungalow not on the parking spot.

Absolutely stunning views. Our tower room faced the hobbit homes and was well lit. Great to escape the busy center. the room was clean. plenty of space to chill out and relax. loved that there’s a communal kitchen since it’s out of town and you can cook your own meals to save money if you’d like.

it wasn’t a problem for us, but keep in mind this is not near the main downtown by walking. if you want to escape to a relaxed location in nature this is your spot. I think the room might need an upgrade soon. the door is not fully sealed which is odd, so bugs could possibly get through. only one of the windows had a screen but it didn’t cover the whole window. one of the windows also didn’t close properly. it got pretty hot in there since we couldn’t really open any windows because of that. for the price I think they should upgrade these things. overall really amazing stay and worth experiencing!
