The Roots Casa Rústica is an absolute dream. It is the perfect place to relax in the calm and peaceful mountainous area between the two oceans. You’ll have a brilliant view of the volcano and wonderful waterfalls close by. David is the nicest host you can imagine, he can give you many valuable insights and tips for hikes nearby or your further travels. He did everything to make us feel comfortable starting with sharing fruits right when we arrived. I can highly recommend to stay there.

The accommodation is in a spectacular location with views over the nearby mountains and a perfect angle for catching the sunset from the terrace. The area is very quiet, there are hiking trails nearby and you are right out in nature. Rooms are basic but functional. I didn't come across any hot water in the shower, but it was so hot that it did not matter. There is a shared kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals. There is a nice coffee shop, a couple of restaurants and a mini market nearby so all your food and drink needs are covered. The host is especially friendly and he really helped me out when I had a bit of a difficult situation to navigate.

“A unique and rustic Hostel with great views”

“Stunning views and unique location”

Upon entering this hostel, I was immediately amazed – wow, wow, wow! The stunning view and the unique architecture create an incredible atmosphere. It truly felt like a retreat while I was there. There are enough activities available in the area, but unfortunately, I was unable to partake in them due to the constant rain.

- Really super friendly owner - Fantastic view of Volcan Baru from the terrace with sometimes breathtaking sundowns - Excellent place to meet other travellers - Good starting point for a walk in the mountain forest - Beside the road to Chiriquì Grande it's a good place for a stopover on the way to Bocas (and there's not that much choice in the area) I would recommend a stay of 2-3 nights: if you stop for one night only you'll probably miss the beauty of the surrounding nature, a bath in the mountain river, ... For a longer stay there is not really much to do up there.

“Very special hostal and I can totally recommend it - especially for the price”

The hostel is very special, each room is different, but all have an own bathroom. The view from the terrace is beautiful as you can see great nature including the sunset. There is a shared kitchen including a shared fridge. The owner is very helpful and explains the available attractions (including hiking options).

The place is good, and the price-to-value ratio is a gem. It provides stunning views of the volcano and a pleasant nighttime temperature conducive to a good sleep. The owner is a pleasant man dedicated to developing the place.

“not for influencers”

The views on the terrace are great.

The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. He has built the building with his own hands. The location is wonderful in the middle of the mountains. The views are wonderful and you have views of Boquete at night.It is very close to main road but the trucks were not so disturbing as you may expect.

There were holes in the walls which means there were bugs in the room and it was very cold, even additional blankets didn't help. The sink was on the balcony not in the room. Wifi worked only in common area.

“Cool place!”

Cool treehouse-like building with a great view. Really friendly staff. Comfy bed and well stocked kitchen. Good wifi. Moved here from the Lost and Found hostel and enjoyed it much more.
