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.

Amazing experience, and most friendly and radiantly shining staff and bartenders I ever had the pleasure of meeting. (Who btw have an amazing music taste which you can always hear playing somewhere in the background in the hostel). Another crazy thing about bodhi is that exactly in that hostel usually stays the "probably" best guide and yoga instructor in whole Panama - Jerry. Dalis, Tatiana, Jerry and of course Vladi, you'll always have a special place in my heart. Besonders du, Jakob... <3

I loved staying here and wish I could have stayed longer. The staff were SO helpful, the vibe was friendly and relaxed, communal spaces lovely and comfortable, and the free bikes were the cherry on top. Would absolutely stay again.

Situated in El Valle, Hostal Lopez El Valle Cabañas has a garden, shared lounge, BBQ facilities, and free WiFi. Free private parking is available and the hostel also features bike hire for guests who want to explore the surrounding area.

Amazing experience, I loved the area, the town, the specific location which was close to the centre, but also in a very quite part of it. The views, the nature around was incredible. And what really exceeded my expectations was the air quality - I travelled during the humid season and everywhere else I needed an air conditioner but not here. They DO have an air conditioner but the weather was so pleasant that I didn't even turn it on! Also, the price was great!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit 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.
