En tant que voyageuse solo je ne m’y suis pas sentie du tout à l’aise Très sale Odeur d’urine persistante Franchement payez 3$ de plus et allez ailleurs
As a solo traveler I don't feel at all at ease Very dirty Smell of persistent urine Franchement pay $3 extra and go elsewhere
Worst possible hostal and terrible workers. If you want to be woken up at 7am to 3 idiots dragging tables and chairs across the floor then this is your place. I asked them nicely to maybe wait until 9 or 10 and they laughed in my face and continued doing so. Only when I threatened a bad review is when I got my money back for the following night. Rooms smell like cigarettes. Only good thing I found was the beds were comfy.
I will never stay here again, no lockers in the rooms, laundry very expensive, kitchen is very dirty !! The beds are not comfortable ! Every time you leave the hostel you have to take all your important stuff because there is no safe place !
This is one of the worst place we’ve stayed in our 3 months journey. The kitchen is disgusting, you don’t want to cook there and hang around. We had a private room, the floor seems like it was never cleaned. The sheets seem clean but were smelling smoke and the whole place smells cigarets. The beds were super uncomfortable. Would definitely not recommend this place!
We had booked a few nights but left after one because they had no heat in the room so it was freezing cold even if we had more blankets, really weird people and we did not feel safe at all. The kitchen is not a real kitchen and there’s no fridge. No toilet paper and no hot water in the shower, also really dirty everywhere. The bathroom was one of the worst we had ever seen. The staff was friendly but there was a language barrier. The only good thing was the location.
It was very noisy and the door didn’t even fit the frame properly. I was told there was hot water and there wasn’t any. Bedding smelled like smoke and there was poor ventilation. I asked them to organise me a taxi for 1:30am to the airport and they told me they would, but when I went down I couldn’t find anybody, and the place was locked up. After finally finding someone they couldn’t get me a taxi and so I had to order an uber - thank goodness there were Ubers operating. Would not re...
Sure this hostel is really cheap but you’re gonna be sleeping in a house that smells like cigarettes and cat pee. The rooms are not clean, we arrived with poop already in the toilet, if you messed up the beds it would look like an abandoned building. The sheets did not feel washed, hairs in the bed, mold in the bathroom, and the door barely closed. It honestly felt like a haunted house and we were in a horror film.
Prix très attractif, il ne faut donc pas s'attendre à quelque chose d'exceptionnel. Nous sommes restées 3 jours dans une chambre privée et n'avons jamais eu d'eau chaude, le ménage de la salle de bain n'avait pas été fait et il y avait des cheveux dans les draps ... la chambre donnant sur l'espace commun (une porte et une fenêtre floutées) lorsque des personnes fumaient, cela embaumait la chambre (super pour les non fumeurs 😬). Sinon le personnel était très agréable et la vue du r...
We stayed 3 days in a private room and never had hot water, the bathroom cleaning had not been done and there were hair in the sheets... the room overlooking the common area (a door and window blocked) when people were smoking, it perfume the room (great for non-smokers ). otherwise the staff was very nice and the view from the rooftop was great.
Todo bien , pero el agua caliente del baño de los hombres no funcionaba :(
All right, but the hot water in the men's bathroom didn't work: (((
Gut ist: - Es ist günstig. - Es gibt warmes Wasser. - Es hat eine Küche. - Man konnte sein Gepäck sicher dort lagern - 24h Rezeption Schlecht ist: - Die Matratze war total durchgelegen - Für eine zweite Klopapierrolle (3 Übernachtungen) musste man extra zahlen - Zum Wäsche machen musste man das in dreckigen Bottichen aufgefangene Regenwasser benutzen - Im gesamten Hostel und Zimmer war es kalt - Die Küche war schlecht ausgestattet.

Very cheap for the night and inside the room I didn’t feel unsafe but in general I did and I was staying in a private. Very unclean, no towels, no soap, no shower curtain, vandalism on the ceiling. Very loud late at night and early in the morning (we did stay on a Saturday though).
Definitely worth the VERY cheap price. Spacious private room. good security with 24 hour reception. Unfortunately showers were cold most of my stay - you get what you pay for. If you don’t like smoking probably don’t stay here.

Very simple but relatively clean and comfortable hostel, for amazing good price. The staff is super cool.

Un hostal súper parchado, con mucha onda y de los más únicos en los que he estado. Muy recomendado.
A super parked hostel, with lots of waves and one of the most unique I've ever been to.
Always a pleasure staying at El Carretero perfect thank you to all the staff clean great atmosphere and value for money what more could you want 👍🏴🇧🇴
Good stay with a private bathroom, decent wifi and nice big kitchen. Hot shower sometimes. but prices aren’t accurate as the change to Bolivianos with different exchange rates. Check before you check out
L'ambiance est très roots, le personnel est incroyable, on se sent en famille. Je recommande sans hesiter !
The atmosphere is very roots, the staff is incredible, we feel like family.
La seguridad de la puerta con el candado es débil. En el baño sale muy poca agua caliente y no hay papel higiénico. La cocina está bastante sucia. Entiendo que el precio es acorde a las instalaciones, pero está venida a menos. Hay que reconocer que la atención del personal es amable.
The security of the door with the lock is weak. the bathroom has very little hot water and no toilet paper. the kitchen is pretty dirty. i understand the price is according to the facilities, but it is underpriced. one must recognize that the attention of the staff is friendly.
I will never stay here again, no lockers in the rooms, laundry very expensive, kitchen is very dirty !! The beds are not comfortable ! Every time you leave the hostel you have to take all your important stuff because there is no safe place !
This was unfortunately not what we expected. The atmosphere was very bad, it was dirty and everything was really old. The towels and sheets was smelling. The only good part was that the staff was helpful even though they almost didn’t speak English.
Très propre et convivial, mais attention beaucoup de bruit !

Más que un Hostal fue un hogar! para mí ya que tuve que ir y regresar varias veces en estadía de Bolivia. Me encantó todo en especial la calidez y la hospitalidad de todo su personal. Nuevamente muchas gracias
More than a Hostel it was a home! for me since I had to go back and forth several times during my stay in Bolivia. i loved everything especially the warmth and hospitality of all its staff. again thank you very much
The staff are so friendly! And super helpful. Made me feel at home
Excelente ubicación, ambiente súper cool, limpio y economico! Muy agradecidos.
