Bodhi Hostel & Lounge is located in El Valle and features free WiFi access in all areas, a garden and barbecue facilities. Free parking is available.

Each room here will provide you with a patio and a seating area. There is a full kitchen with a microwave and an oven. Featuring a shower, shared bathroom also comes with a hairdryer.

This is one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in! The staff are very helpful knowing everything about all the walks and treks. There is a kitchen upstairs and downstairs which is very convenient. The outdoor area is great to chill in and they offer yoga (for a donation) and free cooked breakfast in the mornings. Lastly my favourite part is there’s quite a few friendly dogs around which is my heaven and I absolutely loved. For the people who don’t like dogs, they really keep to themselves unless you approach them to pet them.

With a shared bathroom equipped with a shower, rooms at the hostel also provide guests with free WiFi, while some rooms come with a balcony. At Hostal La Casa de Juan every room includes bed linen and towels.

The $3 breakfast was good and reasonably priced / the music was tasteful and not too loud. There is a decent food store just 2 minutes away.

Located in El Valle, Casa Hostal Bouvá features a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. There is free private parking and the property provides paid airport shuttle service.

The nearest airport is Panama Pacifico International Airport, 123 km from the hostel.

The location was great, had an awesome view of the mountains from the property. You can see the India Dormida and the Cariguana, which makes for amazing sunsets and sunrises. The place is VERY clean, and breakfast is included. The host is very nice and Carolina, another employee, attended to our needs with no problem (and cooks amazing breakfast!). I also liked that there was private parking, which made me and girlfriend feel safer.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    10 out of 10! Great Staff attracts great people. One of the best hostels I‘ve been in the last 12 years traveling the world (over 300 stays in total) Beds are comfy, quiet dorms, well equipped kitchen, a lot of possibility’s to relax and chat with other guests. Bathroom was clean all the time. There are enough showers and toilets, so you don’t have to wait. If you‘re looking for a party hostel: Go somewhere else. Thank you very much BODHI El Valle for having me and 4 amazing days with lovely people.

    We had a really great time in this hostel! It‘s still pretty new and the concept of the beds in each room is amazing for backpackers! You have everything you need from a big spacious kitchen to a beautiful garden with hammocks and billard :) the people working there are super helpful and the host gave us tips where to hike and even drove us to the starting point of the India Dormida trail which we can highly recommend. Thank you for the amazing time!

    It is a very nice hostel with beautiful common areas. I booked the dorm so that is what I got. Very cheap and great breakfast. Water was warm and very helpful staff. I liked the open shower with wind gowing in but there were leaves everywhere.

    Very well kept hostel in a safe area. Many toilets and always clean. It has 5 kitchens well equipped 3 of which are outdoor by the pool. It was just great being able to cook and eat outside next to the pool. It also has a big game room with a pool table 2 football tables and ping pong table. Probably the best kept hostel we ever stayed at Also the cheapest I found in el Valle.

    Great assortment of fellow travellers. great location for hiking and only 5 - 10 minute walk into town. Good shops close by. The hostel takes on travel volunteers to help out. Having Anna from Germany there to advocate to the owners on our behalf was the detail that made our time there less stressful. It is a large property that has a lot of potential.
