Se malogró la chapa de mi cuarto y no había nadie en recepción para ayudar. Casi pierdo mi tour. Justo era para sacar mi abrigo y no enfermarme en pleno salar.

Translated to English

The sign of my room broke and there was no one at the reception to help. i almost missed my turn. just to get my coat out and not fall sick in the middle of the paycheck.

Boîte de nuit en dessous de l’immeuble, impossible de dormir, déchets sous les lits, personnel qui a essayé de nous arnaquer et certaines portes de chambres ne fermaient pas.

Translated to English

A nightstand under the building, no sleep, garbage under the beds, staff who tried to rip us off and some room doors wouldn't close.

Do not stay here - we turned up and they had no reservation for us. The staff then tried to charge us nearly double and then in the end told us we need to find somewhere else to stay and we left. Wouldn’t have wanted to stay there after the experience anyway.

ME ROBARON. Llegamos y no había nadie en recepción nadie nos atendía. Alguien (no era del hotel) nos dio una llave que no servía porque la puerta no cerraba con llave. Cuando volvimos de cenar la puerta de mi habitación estaba abierta y la luz encendida. Un señor borracho me había robado el móvil.

Translated to English

I was robbed. we arrived and there was no one at the reception no one was waiting for us. someone (not from the hotel) gave us a key that was not useful because the door did not lock. when we came back from dinner the door to my room was open and the light on. a drunken man had stolen my mobile.

Did not have a room available for us when we arrived, they tried to then change their mind and gave one of us a dirty room and the other one a room that doesn't lock and a bathroom with no light or toilet roll. Also FREEZING in the rooms. Do not recommend unless you literally want a bed for the night. I tried to get a refund with Hostel world for the deposit but they have not helped.

No atmosphere. Is advertised as breakfast included but is not. Reception lady said there was no space for us when we arrived then somehow acted bothered by the fact we had a booking and suddenly space appeared ? Not many other options in Uyuni but this was just not an enjoyable stay

Reservé este hotel porque decía que se podía pagar con tarjeta y tenía desayuno incluido pero al llegar me dijeron que no se podía pagar con tarjeta y por la mañana cuando pregunté por el desayuno me dijeron que no había y solo me devolvieron 10 bolivianos y eso que había preguntado con anticipación por el desayuno. No lo recomiendo

Translated to English

I booked this hotel because it said you can pay by card and it included breakfast but when I arrived they said you can't pay by card and in the morning when I asked about breakfast they said there was no breakfast and they only returned 10 bolivianos and that I had asked in advance for breakfast.

schlimmste hostel in dem wir jemals waren. wir haben schon sehr niedrige Ansprüche aber die wurden hier grandios unterboten. -nur ein kopfkissen für 2 Personen, welches dann auch noch fleckig und voller haare war. -Badezimmerboden war nass, weil ein rohr ein leck hatte. -Früstück für 8 uhr angekündigt so gegen 9 lag dann ein bisschen hartes Brot auf dem Tisch. -Schon beim check-in super unfreundlich.

Bij de boeking word er aangegven dat er ontbijt is. Bij aankomst blijkt dat niet zo te zijn. Er is een keuken maar die is in verbouwing dus daar kon geen gebruik van gemaakt worden.

Translated to English

When booking it says that there is breakfast. upon arrival it turns out not to be so. there is a kitchen but it is in renovation so it could not be used.

Buena ubicación,cerca de todo. Hace demasiado frío en la habitación que no tienen calefacción. El personal a veces no es tan amable,pero tiene buena relación precio-calidad

Dirty place, probably the worst hotel room I have ever been in. Walls sheets, bathroom, everything was dirty. Super cold too. I feel like the 9,7 rating on jostelworld is fake, if you skim through there are mostly very bad 2-4 star ratings… Avoid this place!
