Overall Ratings & Reviews Bambuda Castle - Hostel

We felt like we stayed in the Shire with the hobbit style rooms, and the castle provided an ambiance of elegance. The staff accommodated for my mobility challenged wife like she was family.

the property is noice but wan under construction. we will try it again.

I booked it prior to knowing the facility was under construction; I selected the non-refundable option so we were stuck. Wish I would have known before. When it is a complete I am sure it will be beautiful.

Great stay, we love it , we had a lovely stay, we recomend it.

Far exceeded my expectations. I felt peaceful, quiet, and private.

Everything was amazing except for the hot water supply in the hobbit house. When the issue was adressed to the reception the response was to keep it open and it will eventually come. I waited for 10 minutes with extremely cold water.

property is undertaking expansion. service was excellent. Water ie. Hot water is a problem.

Bambuda is fantastic. The location is excellent with breathtaking views of the mountains & countryside. The food in the restaurant is excellent & there are numerous options at all times of the day. The service at the front desk & at the restaurant are prefect: helpful, friendly, & enthusiastic. Taxi rides from the hotel to a variety of destinations are easy to get & inexpensive. I had a cabin with a balcony. It felt like a cabin in the mountains but with strong hot water in the shower.

Lovely!

Everything

Everyone here was absolutely amazing. Views were great. Food was delicious. Staff is so friendly. Front desk worker Reynina was our favorite.

I will be here for 9 days total because my plans keep changing! I have had to add days on repeatedly and they do their best to keep me in the same or similar location. Then I got sick and they isolated me and took care of me like family. This has felt like a home away from home… not a vacation but I’m safe and well cared for!

Beautiful property, great views in a quiet setting

Excellent dining

What a cool place! It’s part hostel and part hotel. We stayed in one of the hobbit homes and it was beyond cool. Everything was new and updated inside the home. It was a very nice, but casual environment around the hotel. It had a great vibe of young and older adults. The dining area is large and a great hangout for all visitors. The views of the mountains were fantastic. The staff was very helpful and even had a laundry service for us. The food was great. It was a very fun and unique place to stay. We really enjoyed it and would book there again.

Such a great retreat from the hustle & bustle of downtown. Truly feels like you are on an eco resort with comfortable amenities and a truly unique feel to the hotel!

Amazing property! Very attentive staff. Good food. Unique castle and hobbit holes! I’ve been to many great hostels and this one tops them all!

Stayed in Cocobolo "hobbit house". So cute and unique. High ceiling, sliding door w screen. Birds everywhere in the garden. Amazing view. Shared basic kitchen with fridge. No coffee maker...but a tea kettle. Restaurant on site that is actually open 7 days. Pool and hot tub. Lots of hiking nearby. Better to have a car to get to and from town...but taxis are a few bucks. $30 shuttle daily 8am gets you to bocas del toro. $20 Uber from David. Staff are extremely helpful and all speak fluent english. Great recommendations for restaurants in town...plus where to shop for bakery, veggies and gifts. There's a little info book on all to see and do in the area. So very helpful! Loved this place. Would stay again in a heartbeat

Interesting architecture and decorating. Beautiful views and lovely landscape

The grounds were incredibly beautiful! The flowers and the
