Mondo Taitu is a great place if you're looking for an MTV-spring break sort of experience. There is a bar in the hostel that is popular and oft-visited. While the staff were all friendly, I found the service to be less than desirable. The bathrooms were often dirty, it took a long time to have requests met, and it always... More

As soon as I walked into this place I just felt good vibes. The staff is really friendly and chill. We got a private tree fort for the three of us and got 10% off cause were staying for three nights. We have our own toilet and sink but not shower. The bar had a themed party on our first... More

This is the first place I stayed when I came to Bocas and I would not stay there again. I love the decorations and the vibe they are trying to go for. I didn't mind the noise too much, but the place itself could really use a good, strong scrubbing. And probably fumigation, as I came back with a line... More

We stayed at Mondo a few months back and had an absolute blast! Great atmosphere, exactly what we were looking for. The staff was wonderful, and Jack gave us awesome recommendations about activities and food. I think we had some of the best meals of our lives due to his recommendations, and everyone went out of their way to make... More

Mondo Taitu is an awesome backpacker place for the price. we shared a private room which was clean (albeit a little small) and as expected in a party hostel with it's own busy bar, it was quite noisy but so much fun! The showers were fine but occasionally it was hard to get hot water. It was set back slightly... More

We stayed in a room for four people. There was no aircondition and it got very hot at night. The beds are very uncomfortable and lots of flies/mosquitos. There was party all night next door. We were not able to sleep at all. We changed to the nice hotel opposite after one night. For this hotel you just need to... More

I stayed at Mondo for quite some time and would have stayed longer had there not been more of Panama to see. First of all, the staff was incredible and always went out of their way to address concerns and keep guests in the loop of all the activities happening on the islands. Not only did they keep things running... More

Really cool hostel. Happening place in the evenings and really great drink specials - especially tequila night. Although, its hot and there are so many flies and mosquitos everywhere. The bathrooms and kitchen is kinda nasty. We just felt dirty all the time and we got some of our food stolen from the fridge - (which is not the hostel's... More

We stayed in a private double room here in February 2013. The hostal is quite run down and needs a bit of smartening up for the money. We like to eat out a bit and cook a bit but the kitchen in this place was awful. Everything was filthy, no one seemed to clean up after themselves (despite signs everywhere,... More

We stayed here for 3 nights... it was tolerable. We had a private room with a shared bathroom. The room was tolerable, though made cheaply. There was a gap/hole even when the door was locked. We shoved a towel in there to solve that problem. The bathroom was tolerable, but not as clean as it should have been. The kitchen... More
