Hostal Gaia

Safe, comfortable and relaxing place to stay, I think it was a good option to spend a night here, although I wish I had been here a couple more days. The kitchen well equipped and beautiful garden. The hostel is near boquete city so you can walk around and find everyting you want. I will stay in here the next time I come to Boquete.

Went there in September for an international bike festival that's held in David, Chiriqui every year. They were kind enough to let us (3) park our bikes inside (roofed area), we got soaked by the rain and they allowed us to hang our wet clothes outside to dry. The place is clean, somewhat cheap, and have 24/7 frontdesk assistance.

Hostel is nice location is five minutes from the centre. The staff is really friendly, but speaks little english. Dorms and bathrooms really clean. The same goes for the kitchen, which is well equipped. Recommended.

Hostal Gaia is about 2 minutes walk from central Boquete in a quiet residential area. We stayed in a 6 bed dorm, but there is a 4 bed dorms and private rooms also available. Beds very comfortable and room spacious with private lockers available.  
The dorm had a large bathroom with a great shower and HOT water! 

The kitchen facilities are great, free coffee throughout the day and a large fridge so fridge space was not a problem! There is also a nice indoor and outdoor dining area, comfortable living area with couch, TV, board games and a nice outdoor chillout area that leads to a little stream, with sunbeds and extra seating, hammock etc.

The staff were so helpful and friendly and kept the place spotlessly clean (the communal areas and bathroom cleaned 2-3 times per day!). 

The hostel was quiet but maintained a friendly, family atmosphere. We have been travelling through Central America for 2 months and this was the best overall hostel we have stayed in. Would highly recommend it.

Property was decent, with very basic rooms with a couple of beds, and decent bathrooms. Overall the room and common areas were clean, except for spider webs. Wifi was very poor in the rooms. Staff do not speak English, but that’s ok. No credit card accepted which is annoying. Common area and kitchen were nice. Would consider staying again if in the area.

Enjoyed the stay. Hostel has a garden by a flowing stream. Staff are friendly and very calm, always answering our questions and tending to our needs. Given that the main road is busy and dusty, it is real nice to be away from it to get some peace. There aren’t many rooms so the place never feels crowded.

We had a private room with a ‘shared bathroom’. The bathroom was right next to our room and i’ve never seen anybody else use it. The room was clean and the beds were fine. The shared kitchen was very clean and had everything you needed. There is a supermarket very close to the hostal wich is, to my believe, opened 24/7. The lady at the reception was very nice and answered all our questions. There were relaxing chairs by the river behind the hostal. Also there was a gate wich was locked at night so we felt very safe. Would recommend!

Awesome stay

Excellent hostal, would definitely stay again.

Nice value option

Calm and serene 

Fine hostel

In Gaia, they have a very kitchen, well equipped and clean. The dorm we slept in was very clean as well with space to put your bagpack. Everyone gets a locker. The showers were great with warm water. 
We ended up here without having heard of the place and were positively surprised! It's actually just a big house with living room terrace and a small garden. One of the cheapest we found in town!

Happy we found this

We came to stay three nights and then left to check in to another hostel in Boquete. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Pros:
The showers are hot and have a good water pressure
The hostel is quite central

Cons:
We booked the "twin economic room" and obviously didn't expect a palace, but essentially we were housed in the basement. I (6"4, 1,94m) could not stand upright in our room, there was no light coming in and it felt more like a prison cell than anything else. To top it off, the room is directly under the common terrace, and any movement of chairs etc is very loud and uncomfortable.
The hostel has too many guests for the space they offer: the common areas are always overcrowded, the kitchen is always full with people, which makes it hard to cook or do anything else.
The staff is not very hospitable, they seem to be there because they have to.

We didn't enjoy our stay here and left for another hostel.
