Oceanview room is worth every dollar and we are happy that we stayed there. The breakfast is really tasty and there are a lot of options. Staff is helpful and very friendly and the location is good.

I have to say that it was one of the best hostel experiences I've ever had. The hostel itself is clean, spacious and has a really welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The staff are all friendly and helpful, making me feel at home from the moment I arrived. I had an amazing time here and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to chill, read a book, meet new people, enjoy the nature and an amazing ocean view. A special thanks to my friend Marco that, as a part of the staff, was a huge factor in making my stay so amazing. I can't thank him enough for his kindness and hospitality, and I hope to stay at Bambuda again in the future. Finally, a shout-out to the kitchen chef! I had the best meals in Panamá because of his dinners! Thank you!

Everything was perfect - warm welcome, answer to every question and help at every matter. The room was equipped up to the smallest detail with everything a traveler needs, the common area was cozy, clean and very useful, excellent laundry services and the amazing morning coffee was the icing on the cake. Excellent and quiet location a short walk from the center. warmly recommended! Especially for mature travelers who are looking for a quiet and quality place, away from the noise and bustle.

Great location and if you like to party it is the perfect spot to meet new people. Also, everyday new activities and you should make sure to be at the Filthy Friday party (everyone around is coming and the whole hostel is packed!).

The location is perfect, just one min away from Bocas town. The hostel got a lot of potential, keep in mind is a party hostel so it's very loud, but if you are looking to meet new people this is the right place.
