Loved this hostel soooo much! The vibe is chill and social at the same time, the perfect combination if you ask me. All of the volunteers are really nice and some have very good fun facts about the jungle. Wish I could have stayed longer to do more of the activities and see more jungle wildlife. I guess that means I will have to come back another time. Overall my stay at the lost and found was amazing!

What a great place to stay! After the hike up to the hostel, you’re rewarded with a breathtaking view. Lots of information is provided about nearby hikes and activities. There’s a family dinner every night and a great social vibe without any forced party games. I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone who enjoys being surrounded by nature and good people!

My new favourite hostel!! I can’t recommend this place enough. In the forest full of wildlife and breathtaking views. The best part about this place was definitely the staff and having family dinner. Super social but not annoying party hostel vibes. I suggest a few days here to really explore as well.

The hostel was exactly as advertised. Unfortunately we had terrible weather during our stay which meant we were unable to enjoy the views and hikes. The hostel family dinner is very social and there is a fun bar room afterwards where we met lovely people and played games. It is remote, there are lots of bugs and if the weather is bad very little to do. It was an experience! The staff and volunteers were lovely and the vegan food was tasty.

Id rate this spot an 11 if I could! Everything I want in a hostel. Immaculate vibes, clear guidance on so many cool things, great food, great people, totally worth the hike getting there. One of my favorite hostels I’ve ever stayed in. An experience in itself. Plenty to do around the property, and if you stay 4 nights the 5th one’s free! Cute hikes, a lil bar, so many hammocks and chill spots, AHHHHHHH

Amazing hostel! The staff were super nice and as a non-vegan eater normally, I loved all the vegan food - it was super yummy and they gave great big portions! It did get very cold at night so I would recommend to bring lots of layers but other than that it was amazing

Everything is good (staff, location) except the cleaning. Come on, for 19$ a night,adding curtains to the beds and clean everyday seems the bare minimum!

Amazing Hostel!! The walk up there with luggage i though (~20min) but the views and space is amazing. The volunteers are super nice and You can see Hummingbirds and Chacomistle! There is lots of amazing activites hikes and places around (staying min 3 nights is perfect). The private room was very nice (space for 4). We will go back for sure!

Lost and Found Hostel is one of the most special places I’ve been. The set-up is thoughtful and functional, with amazing views, relaxed energy and every opportunity to connect with other travellers. It is really an extraordinary place and I wish I stayed longer.

Das Lost and Found ist wirklich etwas ganz besonderes! Wir haben es in unseren zwei wöchigen Panama Trip aufgrund der vielen Empfehlungen mit inbegriffen. Anders als alle andere Unterkünfte, die wir hatten, würden wir das Lost and Found jederzeit wieder buchen! Nach einem etwa 30 minütigen Hike durch den Dschungel erblickt man letztlich das Lost and Found mit einer atemberaubenden Aussicht über die Berge! Das Personal ist super nett und hilfsbereit. Definitiv weiterzuempfehlen!

Amazing hostel, uniquely located in the cloud forest, it has amazing views, trails starting from the hostel, and wildlife in and around the hostel. Incredible for anyone with a sense of adventure. Great atmosphere too. The only issue is the food, be warned it’s all vegan which for a lot of people is quite limiting. Portions then a little small at dinner and insanely large for breakfast!

Tolles Hostel mitten im Dschungel. Nettes Personal. Man kann sehr gut Kolibris beobachten. Tagsüber kommen Affen zu Besuch und Abends andere süße Tiere.
