The team goes above and beyond to ensure guests have the best possible time. The food was delicious, the rooms were comfortable, and the cleanliness was impeccable. The lodge’s location in Bocas is ideal, making it easy to explore the surrounding area with quick taxi rides. The daily jungle hike is a highlight, offering a chance to immerse yourself in the island’s natural beauty, with a stunning finish at Hospital Point Beach. A huge thank you to the amazing staff—Tiago, Austin, Camila, Melanie, Johani, Shay, Sarlia, Juan, Nundo, Dany, Pedro, Marlen, Mariliz, Maynor, and everyone else—who made my stay so special! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D8C420ABA8C89839B51706C01FBABC230D633CF71724793128381.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Amine Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah 14 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Cool location in the lush jungle with walking paths and warm water! I only lost a little skin on the waterslide, but still so fun! The included hike to hospital point was surprisingly perfect. Nightime underwater glow worms were a trip! I didn’t book this room, but they put me in a sea urchin shaped upsides pool, it was cool. The second night I did get eaten alive by mosquitoes (from under the door and ceiling circle air vent wasn't a perfect closure. Fan was very needed, but still a bit hot one night in Oct, Food was okay, ceviche was the best I’ve had in Panama! All was healthy at least!

Just wow!!!! This trip was such an amazing experience from the minute I walked in. I was dropped off with the taxi boat and came off to a beautiful piece of paradise!! I was welcomed with smiles and such kindness. I came on this trip alone but met such beautiful people and was never a dull moment. Andrea, Shari,Silvia,Juan, Joanni , maynor we’re so attentive and made me feel at home on this trip. They made sure we were all having a good time. They created such a beautiful environment here where I felt we were all just part of the same community. I loved the family dinners they coordinated that brought people together with great conversation, good food and fun games. We drank and laughed the night away. The only down side was no Ac but a jump in the pool and a cold beverage is just what you need. the night breeze and fan was just right to sleep comfortably. I was sad to go but will definitely be coming back. Thank you guys again can’t wait to see you again ##### Theodora Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian 23 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Bambuda Lodge is a great place to stay and relax. It says Hostel but it is much more than that. You can book your private rooms and still enjoy the community. They offer a family dinner with different dishes to choose from every day and you easily get to know other travelers. There is regular activities planned. We especially enjoyed the Jungle Trail with our guide Samuel. He led us through the muddy jungle - a fun experience. All of the staff is super friendly and we would definitely come back again to Bambuda Lodge. Thanks for the lovely stay and atmosphere. PS: there is some construction going on because they are upgrading the building but it was not annoying oder disturbing at all. ##### Christian Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ingo 29 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sehr liebevoll gemacht, sehr ruhige Vibes und soziale Atmosphäre!

Trevlig stämning bland gäster, sociala aktiviteter och fantastisk personal. Jag bodde i ett privat rum, bungalows som ger lite mer privat känsla. Den enda anledningen till att jag gav en fyra när det kommer till renlighet var för att det var lite fläckar på handdukar och lakan, men allt är rent, men man kanske behöver dubbelkolla att allt är fläckfritt innan man placerar dem i rummet. Men allt som allt, en fantastisk upplevelse! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jojanneke 25 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Heerlijke plek met top personeel en eten We hebben een geweldige tijd gehad in Bambuda Lodge. Vooral het super vriendelijke personeel en de service die ze verlenen zijn top. Ze zijn heel persoonlijk en kennen je bij je voornaam. Het eten en drinken was ook heerlijk en Instagramwaardig 😊 De kamervoorzieningen zijn basic, maar de plek is prachtig. Beslist een aanrader! ![Onze veranda bij de kamer](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3AB8CE6C393693F972C3D0F192076F63CE3C26621742929078400.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Aankomst met de watertaxi](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3E8454E1DBC7E957C7610ADE9A6818922081AF991742929106405.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Uitzicht bij het zwembad](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/12DBFBA2622A4B356863676DCF957270938D1F001742929268659.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jojanneke Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander 19 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Sehr zu empfehlen.

L’emplacement et le cadre sont idéals, entre mer et jungle et à seulement 5 minutes en bateau taxi de l’île principale. Les dortoirs et autres espaces de vie sont propres. La grande terrasse est conviviale. Le staff du Bambuda est particulièrement sympathique et attentionné. Un merci en particulier à tous les volontaires (et plus encore à Hugo et Helwan) qui rendent ce séjour encore plus agréable qu’il ne l’est déjà, notamment par l’organisation d’activités, etc. ##### Nils Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Katharina 19 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nachhaltig, gutes Essen, freundlicher Service, gepflegte Anlage.

Overall, the stay was very enjoyable! The highlight of the property is the stunning, open bar and check-in/lounge area. The property offers a great mix of social, hostel dorms, and more isolated, solo/couple bungalows, with the ensuing social balance reflective of this. The bar offers incredible views of the water and mainland. Here is where you will find the hostel’s social dining areas, including the property’s family-style dinner offerings. The property itself is a series of structures and bungalows threaded across a wooden walkway in the middle of the jungle. My room, the bungalow located furthest away, is almost completely in the jungle. I would not at all hesitate to return to Bambuda. It offers good accommodation, trip-planning for activities on nearby islands, and thoughtfully-designed common areas. Staff was super friendly and helpful with service and requests. I really enjoyed their friendly and hospitable disposition. Some downsides are that the limited access and meal options on the island can be trying, but should be known or otherwise understood before arriving to the hostel. Nevertheless, this is a most compelling option for those visiting Bocas! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3486AB533597BA94890106F42767E42C619E95571643607257227.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B172F784DE56583F1AB24D302979E20A37DCF0011643607265818.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Looking from the main area ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/031AA973803C6B59417340E3A49A5A5CD35A14321643607267197.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Devan Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yotam 5 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great eco lodge This place is awesome. A short boat right from Bocas town, a cool communal vibe with private bungalows if you want them. Crowd skews young. Bar and pool area are great. Waterslide is fun but dangerous - there's a reason you need to sign the waiver. Food is pretty good though the fact that you have to get your dinner orders in at least 2 hours in advance can be a bummer. Overall a great experience. ##### Yotam Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aurélien 13 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Cadre de rêve et ambiance tranquille J'ai utilisé l'adjectif "extraordinaire" plusieurs fois lors de mon séjour pour qualifier le Bambuda Lodge, et plusieurs points le justifient : accès à l'hôtel possible seulement en "lancha" (petit bateau à moteur) ; nature luxuriante dans et autour de la propriété (l'hostel est situé entre la mer et la jungle tropicale), ceci attirant de nombreuses espèces d'oiseaux (colibris, perruches, oropendulas,...) ; superbe piscine avec vue sur la mer des Caraïbes ; constructions privilégiant le bois; chambres confortables à des prix raisonnables (mais le rapport qualité-prix des dortoirs est encore meilleur, et ce d'autant plus si vous avez la chance, comme moi, d'en disposer pour vous tout(e) seul(e) ) ; nourriture de qualité servie chaque jour ; service attentionné, avec une mention spéciale pour Daniel, qui a été impeccable et très gentil avec moi. Quelques points à soulever tout de même : lorsque vous logez au Bambuda, il vous faut prendre une "lancha" pour quelque déplacement que ce soit, hormis la marche allant jusqu'à l'Hospital Point (nord de l'île de Solarte) ; ce premier point induit que vous allez très souvent déjeuner et dîner sur place, ce qui fait considérablement augmenter la note finale. Petite déception pour ma part : malgré mon séjour de 9 nuits, on m'a fait payer 20 USD pour une moustiquaire que j'ai été obligé de déchirer à la fenêtre de ma chambre en pleine nuit (auto-enfermement dehors par inadvertance et personne à la réception à cette heure-là). Dommage... ##### Aurélien Stayed 3 nights in May 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Paulo 17 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### Beautiful place. Service needs improvement Beautiful setting facing the sea and jungle. Rooms are pretty with nice view, clean and quiet. A/C would be good but fan helps. Funny swing to the sea and free yoga classes. Cool environment. Service could be better. Check in made in the same place as restaurant need better coordination. If you ask something different in the menu they won’t do and I think staff should be better and improve customer service. Food is ok. Overall recommend. ##### Paulo Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Milan 16 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Definitely worth the money.
