I have passed through David a couple of times on my travels this year and was so impressed by Bambu that i thought I should write a revew to let you all know about the place. They have lots of privet rooms and a cool dorm out the back past the swimming pool. I stayed in the dorm which is... More

We stayed at this place for two nights because we were on our way from San Jose (CR) to Boquete and wanted to have a stop on that journey. We loved the treehouse-dorm and the pool! The staff is very helpful and everything is very clean. There is a well-equipped kitchen and two computers for internet use. In the evening... More

Many people come to David to get to some other place, and Bambu Hostel is truly a great place to make your stay enjoyable. When you get to the gates the buzz of the city may still rest on your skin, but as soon as you step into the back gardens an oasis for relaxation awaits you. There is a... More

I've been fortunate in that I've travelled extensively; I've stayed in potholes and palaces and eagerly recommend the Hostel Bambu in David, Panama for any length of stay.

It's a little oasis in a city that really is a stopover for most travelers it seems. I was headed up to the mountains, but I... More

Now, I have plenty of experiences from hostels around the world. I've stayed in some dirty places and I usually don't mind. What bugs me about Bambu Hostel is how over priced it is compared to what you get. They want 34 dollars per night for a double room with a private bathroom. When I booked the room the prices... More

This is the best hostel in David... There are plenty of private rooms, a pool and a huge back yard area to hang out. If you are looking for a great place to stop over for a few days going through Panama and you find yourself in David, this is the place to stay. There is also a great place... More
