The hosts were super nice but they recommended us a terrible agency to go to Coiba (little food and no guide with terrible logistics). Apart from that it was quite noisy and crowded in the kitchen which wasn’t very clean
The managers of the hostel really make you feel at home! They are always the first to help and give great advice about the area and traveling. They enjoy sharing dinners with guests in the common kitchen, which creates a really friendly atmosphere. There is a lot of genuine exchange between everyone. You can truly feel that this hostel was built with love, and they put a lot of effort into making sure everyone feels comfortable an welcome ! It’s clean and safe !
Super liebe Besitzer, man fühlt sich total wohl. Wenn man am Ort des Geschehens sein möchte, ist man hier leider falsch. Man muss 20-25min in den Ort laufen, was auf die Dauer lästig sein kann. An manchen Stellen war das Hostel dreckig und verstaubt, aber das hat mich nicht gestört. Die Gäste und Besitzer haben für ein tolles Ambiente und ein tolles Miteinander gesorgt.
Super dear owner, you feel totally comfortable. if you want to be on the scene of the incident, you are unfortunately wrong here. you have to walk 20-25min inside the place, which can be annoying in the long run. in some places the hostel was dirty and dusty, but that didn't bother me. the guests and owners have ensured a great ambiance and a great togetherness.
Iris and Thomas are super welcoming and extremly friendly hosts - you will feel at home right away. The dorm is simple but cozy and has everything you need. The rooms havr a nice temperature to sleep and every bed has a fan. You will feel like sleeping in a tree house, because everything is made out of wood and you have a nice view into the trees. The location is a bit outside but you can easily walk into town in 15min. Would defintily recommend stying here!
Super Unterkunft und sehr herzliche Gastgeber. Ich habe mich wie zuhause gefühlt! Sehr familiäre Atmosphäre, danke für die schöne Zeit.
Great accommodation and very warm hosts. i felt like at home! very family atmosphere, thank you for the nice time.
Very friendly hosts and a clean, comfortable and quiet stay. About a 10 minute walk to the beach via the shortcut.
The owners of this place are so sweet and helpful! They gave us a lot of recommendations, helped us with the snorkeling tour and even gave us food! The bed is great, there’s a good shower and good spots to chill. It’s a 20 minute walk to town and also to the beach.
Nice place, little further away from the town but its only a 10-15 minute walk. Really nice owners, comfortable if rustic beds. Considering where it is, its very well cleaned and maintained, hot shower, clean toilets etc. Worth a visit :)
super hostel avec une chouette ambiance. un peu loin du “coeur” de santa catalina mais il suffit de marcher un peu. les gérants sont très cool. un seul grand dortoir avec toilettes et douche à l’intérieur. l’intimité est limitée mais l’endroit est vraiment bien (super cuisine!) et c’est pas cher du tout
super hostel with a great atmosphere. a little far from the heart of santa catalina but just a short walk away. the managers are very cool. one large single dormitory with toilet and shower inside. privacy is limited but the place is really good (super kitchen!) and it's cheap at all
Amazing hostel and amazing host!

Thomas and Iris are lovely hosts! We had a good time in their hostel! It was super relaxing. We were allowed to use their kitchen, so the had all the equipment. You can book surf lessons and snorkeling trips via them. We absolutely recommend the hostel but be aware of walking 20 minutes to the centre.
Iris und Thomas sind die nettesten Menschen, die ich in Panama getroffen habe. Es ist weniger ein Hostel, als ein Heim mitten im Grünen. Trotzdem kann man sich problemlos zurückziehen, wenn man Ruhe will. Nur wer Party sucht und Morgens nicht von den Vögeln geweckt werden will, fint wahrscheinlich keine 10 von 10.
Iris and Thomas are the nicest people I have met in Panama. it is less a hostel than a Home in the middle of the green. nevertheless you can easily retreat if you want Rest. only those who want a party and do not want to be woken by the birds in the morning are probably not 10 out of 10.

Une bulle de zenitude dans un lieux chaleureux propice à la déconnexion et au chill. Tout est très propre avec une cuisine bien équipée. C’est un peu excentré de la ville, mais c’est en endroit suspensu qui mérite d’être un peu éloigné. L’accueil est incroyable. Il faut apprécier les poules et les chiens.
A bubble of zenith in a warm place conducive to disconnection and chill. everything is very clean with a well-equipped kitchen. it's a bit eccentric of the city, but it's in a suspended place that deserves to be a little bit away. the hospitality is incredible. you have to appreciate the chickens and dogs.
Wir können dieses Homestay absolut empfehlen! Thomas und Iris sind unglaublich herzliche Gastgeber und wir haben uns von Anfang an sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Schlafräume sind durch ihre offene Bauweise etwas Besonderes und trotzdem gut vor Mosquitos geschützt. Die Betten waren sehr bequem. Die Toiletten und Duschen waren sehr sauber. Nur die Lage ist etwas außerhalb – etwa 20 Minuten zu Fuß ins Zentrum – aber der Weg ist gut machbar und sicher und dafür ist es angenehm ruhig.
Thomas and Iris are incredibly warm hosts and we felt very comfortable from the very beginning. the bedrooms are something special with their open design and yet well protected from mosquitoes. the beds were very comfortable. the toilets and showers were very clean. only the location is a little outside about 20 minutes walk into the center but the path is mach gutbar and safe and for that it is pleasantly quiet.
This hostel has a really friendly atmosphere. The only downside, in my opinion, is that it's a bit further from the city center and, because of the open design of the hostel, it can get quite noisy in the morning due to animal noises. Otherwise, the people were great, the kitchen was well equipped, laundry was available at a fair price, you don't sweat or freeze at night, and it's generally a great place if you're looking for somewhere a little quieter. I felt like I was staying with relatives
It’s such a lovely and quiet spot, the owners are super friendly and kind and the bed/bathroom cleanliness was great! highly recommended🫶🏻
this is a well run hostel with lots of love and care. they are truly happy and it shows. making it a pleasant experience for everyone who comes here. highly recommend, 10/10.
Tomas et Iris sont des hôtes incroyables !! Je pense n'avoir jamais aussi bien été accueilli dans un hostel ! Tout est super ! Les lits dans le dortoir, la salle de bain/toilettes, la connexion Wifi, l'eau potable, la cuisine super bien équipée. L'hostel est un peu éloigné du centre mais il existe un raccourci pour rejoindre la plage qu'ils vous montreront en détails votre arrivée et il est toujours possible de faire du stop ! Ils m'ont aussi donné de très bons conseils pour Coïba et...
Tomas and Iris are incredible hosts!! i think i have never been so well received in a hostel! everything is great! beds in the dorm, bathroom/toilets, wifi, drinking water, super well equipped kitchen. the hostel is a bit far from the center but there is a shortcut to reach the beach that they will show you in detail your arrival and there is always a possibility to make a stop! they also gave me very good tips for coïba and for surfing
Great Hostel. Good atmosphere, everything seems really thought through. The owners are very kind people who whill help you out with anything.
It was such a lovely atmosphere and the doorms are really cozy and comfortable.
We loved our stay at Un Mundo! The owners Thomas and Iris are the nicest people ever, going out of their way to help us out! There is a lot of space with clean bathrooms and showers! Very cozy atmosphere. And the walk into town is not too far and sometimes you can get a ride with some locals!
