Baru Lodge was very modern and upscale, in a renovated private house on a side street near Via Espana and Via Brazil. Quiet at night is a big deal with me, and Baru Lodge was fine. There's an ample breakfast included in an outdoor garden area, tho' the staff there could be more smiling. The big advantage of Baru Lodge... More

This hotel was part of a package arranged by Panama Trails. We have used their sister company Costa Rican Trails and have always been TOTALLY satisfied. This hotel however was below average. It truly is a house in a neighborhood. They only have a small fridge that has beer and water. There is a grocery store about 15 min down... More

We stayed for 3 nights at the Baru Lodge and we really liked it. The rooms were very modern, spacious and very clean. The service of the hotel was great, suggestions for restaurants, organisations of transfers, we could also leave some luggage for some days as we were travelling to the San Blas Islands etc. They were so friendly.

This was one of the few places in Panamá who replied quickly to our e-mail inquiries. Our flight arrived at around mid night on Christmas Eve, so we were at the hotel quite late - and were greeted with a kind smile at the reception. The room was very clean and spacy, the shower huge, the water hot. But the... More

This was a disaster. I arrived hungry and needing to go to eat. The receptionist was completely disinterested in helping me to find a taxi - it turned out after an hour that she wasn't going to do that and I was left to wander the streets to look for one myself in order to find somewhere to eat.

Definitely it is not the place where I would stay again. It has potential but to be a pleasant place it would need some changes. It looks like a place for backpackers, but even for them, the Baru Lodge is not worthwhile. I stayed three nights. The first night the bed linen were dirty so that i was given the... More
