Located in the middle of the beautiful little mountain town of Boquete, the hostel is in an old wooden hotel with heaps of character that we’ve infused with the same Hostel Mamallena atmosphere.The hostel building is big, bright and full of colour. From the moment you walk into reception you´ll feel right at home with the bright colours, friendly staff and great atmosphere. Inside we have some of the best social areas of any hostel in Boquete or Panama, a big kitchen, lounge and dining room with cable TV, heaps of movies, a quiet reading area, a balcony and 2 garden areas with tables, chairs and hammocks.
Our private rooms are large and have private bathrooms. All privates have a double bed and most either have 2 doubles or a double and 2 singles. Our dorms are small with 4 beds each room.
Breakfast is free, pancakes and coffee as well as WiFi, internet, and public access computers.
No matter what you want to do in Boquete we can accomodate you. Whether you´re after hikes you can do by yourself or you´re after tours around Boquete we can arrange it. We have all the information for hiking Volcan Baru, how to get there and how hard the trail is! You´ll also probably want to do a coffee tour and we have our tours running to a small, local coffee plantation.
Some of our other popular tours are the zipline over the jungle canopy, horseback riding and white water rafting. The Caldera hotsprings are also very popular, as well as a good jungle hike through the Hidden Waterfalls in Bajo Mono.
Beside tours we can organise for you, we can always give you advice on how to do hikes and/ or other activities on your own.

And remember to check out our Panama City hostel, Hostel Mamallena, Panama City, and Mamallena in Cartagena, Colombia.
Boquete itself is a surprisingly active little country town. It has become world famous for its coffee (some of the most expensive in the world) and as popular destination for retirees from all around the world. But don´t let that put you off! Because of this, the amount and quality of restaurants and bars here in Boquete is amazing. You´ll find something from everywhere to suit all tastes and price ranges. It´s also become very popular for the variety of outdoor activites that you can do here. You can spend all day hiking in the beautiful hills and then return to the hostel to relax in a hammock before spending the night out on the town.
Panama is also a great country to travel in, with many exciting destinations practically untouched by tourism. If you want to get off the beaten track then this is where you can do it. Compared to our neighbouring countries it’s also very safe. But that doesn’t mean that nothing will happen, hence you should have travel insurance shouldn’t you? We’re recommending World Nomads. They are some of the cheapest around, they cover nearly everything and the insurance period can be extended even while you’re traveling. It’s not that expensive and it could cost you more not to have it.
