Staff is friendly and very helpful with tips for arranging trips. Noise travells between rooms (as in most hostels). Beds are not good. More

We stayed for 2 nights in a 6 bed dorm, the room is very small, bare bones nothing special. The communal area is quite nice, but nothing special and quite tiny as well. The free guided tours they advertise, don't always take place. The kitchen is old and a little bit shabby. There is free WIFI which is working good... More

Location is superb off the main drag & so great for sleeping. Rooms and bathrooms were clean. Loved the treat at the bar with our drinks - Nancia brought on the... More

This was our second visit to Hostal Nomba (this time bringing friends with us) and once again we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the very sociable atmosphere, especially on an evening at the little bar area. There was plenty of seating in the quaint colorful relaxing areas where fellow travelers have chance to get acquainted and we have made many... More

Rooms and beds are ok - i stayed at the 4 bed and 6 bed dorm (maybe take a look first as some matresses have seen better times), the one upper bunk bed in dorm next to window is a bit drafty I was told. Mine was ok. Kitchen at front not great but the one in the back nicer,... More

Had a fantastic time staying here, great location, nice place with good areas to relax and good kitchen, both staff and owner were very friendly and incredibly helpful with anything. Also a really good atmosphere around the hostel. If I was to return would definitely stay here again and would recommend to anybody who is planning on visiting Boquete. More

I booked a private room for 2 nights via email (corresponded with a girl who works there), and offered to pay by Visa. I was told to pay when I arrived. I showed up, and was told by Ryan that they were "overbooked", and that he could offer me a dorm at best. I calmly asked him how - if... More

Hostel Nomba is very basic, quiet, not too clean and beds are old. I didn't expect too much at the price they told for a room, but I do NOT recommend the place for that price we eventually had to pay. I made a booking through their website. System told there is not any booking fee and advance is 5%,... More

The hostel oozes fun and social meetings; I loved Ryan's energy - he took us on tours of the hot springs at night time with stars and cold beers, a trip to the annual carnival in david and a 2 day hike up the volcanoe and in the national parks. this was one of my highlights of my panama trip....
