Colombia FEMALE 31-40 Jun 27, 2025 2.0/10

La habitación single no deberían rentarla. Esta al lado del patio de lavadoras, que funcionan hasta las 2am. Al lado de la cocina, por lo que tiene un olor a grasa y comida muy molesto. El interruptor de la habitación está por fuera de la misma, y le prenden a uno la luz por accidente y toca levantarse, abrir la puerta y apagarla, esto puede pasar varias veces y a cualquier hora. Las cortinas del baño están mohosas y al ser tan pequeño el espacio se le pegan a uno al cuerpo mientras se du...

The bathrooms in this hostel are unacceptable. Mold on shower curtains plus shower taps that are completely broken. Kitchen was also not up to standard for a hostel at this price. Every mug and bowl or plate that I wanted to use was oily/smelt bad and I had to wash it before using it. The volunteers were nice but the overall atmosphere at the hostel felt really gloomy and boring.

We didn't like it back then. It was only run by volunteers. There wasn't any cleaning happening especially the kitchen was super unclean. The house by itself is rotting, it doesn't smell nice.

When I booked I accepted to pay a price but then when I got to the hostel they told me that the price was not that and that I had to pay more because they only take the corization of the blue dollar, that is, I paid more than I agreed. I did not like the hostel and I would not recommend it ... my room was next to the kitchen and it seemed that the walls were made of paper, I did not have peace during my entire stay. Buenos Aires has very cool hostels and these meet what they offer.

Caro para lo que ofrece. La habitación individual está al lado de la cocina, la tecla de la luz está afuera de la habitación, la ventana no cierra porque pasan unos cables, el router está en la habitación.

Lithuania MALE 18-24 Aug 13, 2022 2.0/10

Couldn't give a better score due to their use in a black market conversion rate for usd, which is 2-3 times more expensive, and not the real one. I know that they wrote in a place that no one reads that the payment is in usd, but website conditions are saying that the payment is in the local currency, and this is stated very clearly.

I had such a great time at Rayuela! The location is great, close to multiple subway stations and bus stops that gets you around the city. The girls at the reception suggested me many interesting places and events taking place in Buenos Aires which I probably would have never found out otherwise! I met a lot of cool people to hang out with, and I also had a comfortable spot where to work remotely from, the wi-fi worked really good. I would definitely stay here again!!

Had a lovely stay at Rayuela. The location is very central and a supermarket right across the street. There is a fully equipped kitchen where you can make all your meals and a chill living room to relax. The rooms are spacious and comfortable as well. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Such a cute hostel! The location is great and everything was very clean. The vibe is chill but still very social. All the guests and volunteers were very friendly and we all went out a few times and the hostel felt like a home. Would definitely stay here again!

Very well located in Buenos Aires - right by the metro and bus stops. Overall, was quite clean and the common areas are lovely to relax in. Had a nice atmosphere and easy to talk to other guests and staff/volunteers. Only minor downside was that the kitchen is a little small for the amount of people who stay there, but if you're happy to wait then it's not a problem.

Really lovely hostel, located quite central in Buenos Aires. The highlight for me would be the people - the volunteers, staff, and owners are all friendly, welcoming and great to talk to! It’s perfect for travellers and you will meet likeminded folk to make plans with, or if not there’s a notice board with social activities going on within Buenos Aires. It’s definitely not a party hostel - there’s a chill, laidback vibe that allows for socialisation but if you want to study/work that’s...

Chill mid-sized and atmospheric hostel with nice voluntaries. Only issue: The kitchen lacks quite some relevant equipment, thus cooking will take time and you might end up eating your food from a pan or cup.

We had a great short stay here the staff were very nice. If you let them know in advance that you’re leaving early they will wait up for you to sort the key and let you out. We left at 2:15am sorry!! The wifi for the rooms was down while we were there but that can’t be helped!! Very clean good location, tricky to find but they did email a photo of the front door which was very useful!

- A perfect hostel, from its location (less than 1min walk from the metro) in a great neighborhood, to the fantastic and very attentive staff. - Everything is super clean, from the kitchen to the bathrooms and bedrooms. - The kitchen is well-equipped and the beds are comfortable. - I highly recommend it and I will come back.

We had a lovely stay at this hostel. It is small and quiet, but all the staff are very friendly, particularly Mendela. They were able to give lots of local recommendations. The location is ideal - very central and easy to access main tourist places and public transport. The kitchen was also always spotlessly clean and the staff consistently stay on top of this. If we came back to Buenos Aires we would definitely stay here again! Thank you :)

Very bare bones. Hard to check in because not really labeled at all from the street. Couldn’t get my deposit back for my key because there was no one at reception and had to leave for my flight
