What guests think

Travellers describe Hotel Faranda Bambito Chiriquí, a member of Radisson Individuals, as a scenic, tranquil retreat with beautiful gardens and views, friendly staff, and clean rooms, though parts of the property show age and would benefit from maintenance.

The location’s nature and proximity to Volcán are praised, though it feels a bit remote and having a car helps. Facilities include gardens, a lake, and an indoor pool and jacuzzi, but several reviews cite maintenance, cleanliness, temperature, or access restrictions. Rooms range from spacious with views or balconies to dated or noisy, and some note no air conditioning or fans plus inconsistent Wi‑Fi. Dining feedback is mixed, so expect a peaceful setting with uneven amenities.

Escoger el Hotel Bambito para nuestra estadía en Volcán fue lo mejor. Un hotel con una hermosa infraestructura, sus jardines espectaculares, su piscina y jacuzzi. Todo su personal de lo más amable y siempre dispuestos a ayudar, en especial el sr. Melvin quien nos atendió en el bar y nos regaló una velada agradable. La habitación super limpia y equipada con lo necesario. Su piscina climatizada y su jacuzzi abren hasta las 10pm. Cuentan también con un sendero de 45 minutos el recorrido. Sin duda un lindo hotel con mucha trayectoria. Recomendado.

Das Hotel und der Park sind sehr gepflegt, mit eigener Forellenzucht. Essen und Frühstück hat hervorragende Qualität, nur guten Wein gibt es keinen und auch keine Auswahl. Das Innenschwimmbad war eine Enttäuschung und in keinem guten Zustand. Keine Handtücher, auch nicht auf Nachfrage, keine Liegen, Stühle sind voller Vogelkot. Whirlpool war nicht befüllt.

The property from the road looks pretty but the rooms are very basic and dated not to mention the road traffic makes it impossible to sleep. Even with the doors close the semi trucks are so loud. There is no air conditioning or even a ceiling fan, so you will cook with the door closed. Very uncomfortable stay. Save your money and go somewhere else!!!

This was probably one of the best hotel stays I have ever experienced in Panama. I think the hotel itself is a part of a large chain, but it did not have the plain and sterile ambience of current large hotel chains. We had a suite overlooking the beautiful garden and facing a mountain. The suite itself has very high ceilings, maybe 15 or 20 feet which made the already large suite feel even larger. The room was clean and comfortable and well maintained and adorned throughout with natural hardwood. The only observation I have is that the hotel does not have an elevator. The staff itself is probably one of the best I have encountered in Panama and were very responsive and accomodating throughout our visit. The building itself is not very tall, but individuals with mobility issues may have a problem.

The food was mediocre, the internet was poor, but that seems to be common in many Panama hotels. We loved it and highly recommend thia hotel!

The restaurant was absolutely horrible. I spoke zero spanish, I tried to translate and the waiter refused to wait or look at my phone. FRUIT FLIES everywhere... ive worked in restaurants a lot, I know what that means. Waiter was not good, older guy and only knew cervasa, not patient even though only 3 tables max the entire time. The hotel did let me check in early, there was a young man at the counter that spoke some english and was great, he was patient while I used google translate. HE WAS GREAT Room was clean , bathrooms are tiny, BUT DEFINITELY... Not worth what hey charge you. Sad, was a beautiful place at one time I'm sure, still could be... but don't spend a dime at the restaurant!!

It began with the friendly hospitality of Edith at check in. Actually, everyone at the front desk was , really great! It’s not surprising, because Romero, the manager comes across as a really nice guy, and it’s been my experience that nice people enjoy working with a nice boss! And, the mood is contagious throughout the hotel. Whether it be the waiters or those who prepare the meals as well as those in maintenance, or the cleaning staff, they all do their tasks with positive attitudes, and with smiles on their faces! What more could one ask for?
