"We were welcomed very warmly and the value for money was great. Nice and clean rooms with a central and safe location. Many restaurants and mini market are around the hotel. Breakfast was good as well."

"Location is AMAZING and the hostel was built for comfort and tranquility. It is an experience to spend time there"

"As soon as you arrive, you’re instantly blown away by the stunning jungle that surrounds the property—it feels completely magical. The swimming pool tucked into the lush greenery is absolutely incredible, and the cozy common area makes it so easy to relax and soak in the atmosphere. The room was flawless: a spacious, beautifully designed bathroom, an incredibly comfortable bed, and the charming little porthole window where you can sit and gaze out at the jungle—it’s such a special touch. Breakfast was outstanding, with a wide variety of options and truly high-quality products. And the staff? Simply exceptional. Their kindness and genuine hospitality made all the difference—always ready to help and constantly making sure every detail of our stay was perfect. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better stay. It was unforgettable."

"What ever can be expected from a Hilton. Good TV with Netflix that's certainly nice"

"What an amazing host Boris. One of the friendliest people I have met in all of Panama. The hotel itself is also fantastic. Very clean, lots of little extras and a great place to cook and eat. In a nice quiet neighbourhood. Would highly recommend Boris' place to anyone and if I could I'd give it 11 out of 10."

"I stayed here just for a night to be able to get bus to Costa Rica early next morning. There was a party I could here from my room and the hostel worker offered to move me to a new room because of the noise. Very clean room and spotless bathroom, thank you"

"Very unique place with super-nice hosts Katherine and Michel ! The apartment was spacious, with private entrance and dedicated patio and parking space. Large saloon with well equipped kitchen and separate bedroom. Comfortable for longer stay. One must only remember to bring own groceries, there are no shops or markets nearby. Altos del Maria is a special place, an enclave in the mountains with guarded entrances. Special microclimate, with comfortable 28-29 degrees when on the coast in the same time was 35. The flora in this valley was surprisingly unique, different than in any other place we’ve been in Panama. Very helpful and nice hosts, before arrival explained how to get through the Altos gates and find this place in the middle of the valley. We also had some quality time together with our hosts, drinking coconut water from their own palm..."

"This is one of Panama's hidden paradises! Shortly after we booked this place we got in touch with the owners who gave us a lot of useful information. We were very well welcomed and the apartment met our expectations. Katherine and Michell are wonderful people, very welcoming and nice. They invited us out on a trip along the river to see the nature and the small waterfalls. Their big 4x4 car took us on roads we didn't think were possible for cars to drive. We saw tamarins, many birds and squirrels from our terrace. The garden on the site is very well maintained and a pleasure to see!"

"Our stay at Black Lion Inn was pleasant, it was a convenient place to stop on our way to David, Tita was very personable and accommodating with our very limited Spanish on arrival. Warm shower, cold aircon, comfortable bed and convenience stores and a bakery close by."
