Bodhi is lovely! I had no concern of my safety and no complaints. Breakfast was great :) and it’s in the perfect location. Tons nearby. If you are in dorms just know it can be up to 14 people. But I really loved how big the room was.

Wir haben uns im Bodhi Panama City pudelwohl gefühlt. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr fleißig, besonnen und entspannt. Mit allen möglichen Fragen konnten wir auf sie zukommen. Und es war stets sauber. Im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Hostels ist dies wirklich ein Juwel. Im Schlafsaal konnte ich sehr gut schlafen, glaube aber, dass die Klimaanlage mal gereinigt werden müsste, da es mitunter etwas gestunken hat (könnte aber auch vom Pool kommen).

I’d booked a double room. However, you had to walk through a dormitory to get there. Everything else was great! It takes about an hour to walk to the old town, but it’s a lovely stroll along the promenade.Both airports are about 20 minutes away by car. Uber works perfectly.

Beautiful place to stay in the city- still felt tropical :) Free breakfast was delicious: fruit & fried bread, coffee/tea. The private room had air con, though a bit weird you had to walk through the dorm room to get to it. Free towels!

Ein Hostel eher außerhalb der Altstadt, aber gut zu erreichen durch Uber etc. Sehr gutes abwechslungsreiches, inkludiertes Frühstück und schöner Außenbereich. Im Schlafsaal war ein etwas unangenehmer Geruch, der auch nicht wegging… Eher ein unsozialeres Hostel.

Nice hostel, clean, with breakfast, a pool and AC. However, I have been to the other Bodhis and I loved it but this one was quite different. Bunker beds are only downstairs, so if you are upstairs you dont have a light nor curtains and there is a lot of light coming in in the morning, best advice is to have an eyemask. And I found it really weird to have alone elder men living in the hostel, those were not travelers... The hostel was not very social

Our private room was accessed through the main dorm room so it was disruptive to dorm guests when trying to use the shared en-suite with the opening and closing of doors. Very musty smell in the room and stains on the sheets and towels. Fine for one night

The hostel is really nice, very pretty inside and clean. In the dorm the bottom bunks have privacy curtains and the top bunk are exposed which I didn’t like. I think we where unlucky with the people in our 10 bed dorm, people where extremely loud and didn’t care about anyone else in the room who where trying to sleep, even after asking politely to be quiet.

Stayed in the 10 bunk bed for two nights, was such a pleasant experience. The building feels like a house in Malibu, the cleanliness is impeccable and the staff is A1. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Our only complaint was that we were not guided to park or rental car in the driveway next to the garage and instead we parked on the street, where our rental car got severely vandalized on the first night, and even had a window smashed in during the day the next morning. Would have appreciated the front desk check in to tell us where to park safely. Because of this we had to delay our trip to go back to the airport and get a new car. The breakfast (included) was delicious and simple.
