I have visited this place 3 times (febr 2010 , nov 2010, and most recently march 2012) and under three different managers. New ownership is changing a few things. Even though I have been surpised by changes each time , management has always been friendly and helpful to me. I have stayed in bedrooms on first floor , second floor... More

Our guide book (which was outdated by 4 years, our mistake for still trying to use it), stated that this place was an "excellent value", so we decided to stay here during our first night in Boquete. We arrived to an empty front desk and waited nearly 10-15 minutes for someone to walk by and help us. After inquiring if... More

I truly apologize about the experience that you had during your stay with us. Even though we are a budget hostel it does not negate the fact about the quality of service you were to receive. Steps will be taken to correct this problem. The first step that will be implemented will be starting with myself. I (as owner) will... More

Hostal Boquete is located really well - just behind the main square, one block away from a 24 hour supermarket, and right on the river so you feel at one with the natural surroundings (the gushing water IS really loud, which didn't bother me at all, but seems to have bothered other reviewers). The terraces/balconies overlooking the river provide a... More

I wish to thank you for the review. As of Jan. renovations have begun in the Kitchen, lobby and most importantly the rooms, in an effort to provide an even more relaxing atmosphere to our guests. On the issue of service, I once again thank you and wish to apologize for the service you felt you received. When staying at... More

I am sorry for your experience, but as you yourself said you were given a discount and signs were posted that the Kitchen is under renovation. Granted, I have instructed the staff to verbally notify guests that certain areas are under renovations, but that does not nullify the fact that signs were posted The staff was correct, the use of...

A group of 6 of us stayed here in November...It was more than adequate for our needs... The location of being right by the river was pretty cool, as there was a patio off the back of the hotel which borders the riverbank...The cost was pretty good and the ladies running the joint were really nice... I think most people... More

This hostel, right on the river was charming! The staff were friendly, helpful and ready to answer any questions we might have about the area. Being on the river was wonderful, such a relaxing sound of the water! A great budget place to stay!

This was a really great place to stay. It was a block away from the bus stop/center of town. It was located right behind the town's main grocery store too which was super convenient. (although you still got this private, off the beaten path feel due to its location right on the river) The views from the hostal were amazing... More

Yes, the sound of the river is very nice ... just wish that I could say the same about the rooms. My room was certainly not worth $30 (single) with its mismatched sheets, broken ceiling tiles, filthy light fixtures, flat pillows, and half-broken toilet. While they have benches on the balcony overlooking the river, the cushions are two old pieces... More
