    I recently stayed at Bodhi in Santa Catalina for a few days and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and always willing to help, making me feel right at home. The hostel had a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for unwinding. The included breakfast was convenient and delicious, and the laundry service was a great bonus. I also loved the comfortable bed and privacy shades provided. I highly recommend Bodhi for a fantastic hostel experience.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

    Great atmosphere and friendly staff. The common areas were welcoming and had a nice vibe. The breakfast was delicious, especially the pancakes and fruit. The lodges provided comfortable accommodation and the kitchen was well-equipped.

    It can get quite warm inside the lodges and the fan is a bit low. It would have been better if the cottages could be locked for added security.

    My partner and I recently stayed at Bodhi Hostel for a few nights during our beach vacation. The cozy cabins, friendly staff, and relaxed atmosphere were exactly what we were looking for. The kitchen was clean and well-equipped, and the included breakfast was delicious. We also had a fantastic snorkelling tour to Coiba, booked through the hostel. We would definitely stay here again!

    Would recommend this hotel.

    I had a very pleasant stay at Bodhi. The bungalow I stayed in was clean and cozy, and I loved having my own private bathroom. The common spaces were also well-maintained and provided a great place to relax. The staff was friendly and helpful in giving me tips about Santa Catalina. The location of the hotel was perfect, with easy access to the beach and other attractions. The breakfast provided was delicious and a great start to my day. I had a great experience at Bodhi and would definitely recommend it to others.

    The location of the hotel was great, with convenient access to day activities and shuttle operators. the staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere. the breakfast provided, consisting of pancakes with fruits, was simple but delicious. the common areas, such as the outside area with hammocks and lounges, added to the pleasant ambiance of the hotel.

    There were some issues with the cleanliness of the facilities, particularly when it came to washing dishes.

    Cozy bungalows with comfortable beds. Ceiling ventilator sufficient, no need for air conditioning. Good and clean sanitary facilities. Cold shower appropriate for hot climate. Tasteful breakfast of fresh pancakes and fruit. Laundry service available. Relaxing common area with hammocks. Supermarket and restaurants nearby. Short 5-minute walk to the beach. Great for rest and relaxation. Excellent Coiba Tour. Friendly and helpful staff.

    The staff at this hostel were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They were always ready to help with any request and create a welcoming atmosphere. The private huts in the back of the hostel looked really great, with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. It's a shame they were fully booked during my visit.- The location of the hostel was convenient, being close to many restaurants, markets, and dive shops. It was also near the beach where many tours departed from.

    The dorm rooms were a bit cramped and dark. It would have been nice to have more space to move around.

    The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach and the whole town had a great relaxed vibe. The lodges were really cute and had everything we needed, including a comfortable bed and a private bathroom. The kitchen was well-equipped and made it easy to prepare our own meals. We loved starting our days with the delicious breakfast of pancakes and fruit.

    That there was only one bathroom available, which could be a bit inconvenient when the hostel was busier. But since we visited during Easter, there were only a few other guests so it wasn't a problem for us.

    We stayed at Bodhi for a few nights and it was an amazing experience. The cabin we had was beautiful and we had it all to ourselves. The breakfast served at Bodhi was absolutely delicious. The staff was incredibly friendly and made us feel at home. They even offered laundry services, which was very convenient. The location was perfect for diving, surfing, enjoying great seafood, and meeting friendly locals. we had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend staying in one of Bodhi's cabins.

    Would recommend this hotel.

    During my recent stay at Bodhi, I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and upkeep of the bungalow. The kitchen, bathroom, and terrace were all well-maintained, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I also appreciated their commitment to recycling. The delicious pancake breakfast was a great way to start the day, and the well-equipped kitchen allowed me to prepare meals easily.

    The location of this hotel is great, with a beautiful little village and nice surroundings. the staff is wonderful and creates a really good vibe. the rooms are clean and the breakfast is delicious. the house in which the hostel is located is really cool, providing a unique atmosphere. the terrace is a perfect spot for meeting people and chilling out.

    Some guests have mentioned that the hotel can be noisy at night, but if you're a good sleeper, it shouldn't be a problem.
