Bolivia FEMALE 25-30 Dec 7, 2025 Atm 40%

Fair in quality/price. Wifi is really good. Low season so really empty, difficult to make friends. Location is near the city center but a sketchy walk in the night, I saw a lot of drunk people and heard them fighting in the AM. Have in mind they don’t honor the actual prices. In my time in Peru, 1U$ = 3.3 PEN but they had a 1U$ = 3.7 PEN exchange. Is this legal? I don’t know. But they’ll charge you more than what you expect.

5 to 10 minute walk to restaurants/shops. Very quiet (no road noise). The two times we have stayed we have gotten the private room with a window as a wall so light comes in a bit. Comfortable beds, very secure, and friendly staff.

Nice, quiet hostel about 10 mins walk from Plaza de Armas. We had a double room with little balcony looking onto street. The doors on it were a bit drafty but they looked original. The bed was comfy, showers hot and plenty bits in kitchen to cook & prepare food. Place was clean & family run. We booked 2 nights & stayed 5 as it was really cheap & we went to Macchu Piccuh for 1 night & left our stuff in our room there. It was really safe, the family were lovely.

sehr ruhig, nicht social aber das war für mich ok. Basic Zimmer (Doppelzimmer), Platz genug aber leider extrem kalt. Heißes Wasser zum Duschen, Wasserdruck ist mittelmäßig. Guter Preis, würde auch nochmal wieder kommen.

Basic but functional in a central location. Staff were very helpful and arranged a very cheap taxi to the airport the following morning.

The hostel is okay to sleep maybe one night. We had a private room that had a window without curtains or anything so everytime someone would go in the hallway and the lights would go on our whole room lighted up so it was a bit hard to sleep during the night. But good price for what the hostel is!

Excelente opción para quedarse si quieres tranquilidad, hay que caminar unas buenas cuadras desde la plaza, pero se siente como en casa estando adentro. Los anfitriones muy amables!

The best value for money ever, I felt so welcome. The beds are so homely and comfy and you get free towels included with the private. Felt like a home from home, I would 100% recommend!

The perfect place to rest and prepare for hikes. Very comfortable beds. The place is very clean. The showers were always hotter than hot so I don't understand the reviews saying there was none (you have to wait a few minutes for it to warm up which is standard in Peru). The staff were friendly and welcoming. I'd recommend it if you really need to chill and get some rest.

Cheap private room with a shared bathroom, hot water worked all the time and the water pressure was good. Really well equipped kitchen too. It is a bit of a walk from the centre but it's not too bad and it was worth it because of the price. We had quite a lot of noise from the road in our room but it wasn't too bad. Would stay here again.

Booked 2 nights initially, stayed for 6. The beds are so comfortable! Staff are very pleasent. Nice quiet hostel. Not much atmosphere but there are plenty other places if you're looking to party.

The hostel offers good value for price, but it's definitely nothing fancy and best for only a few days. The public bathrooms are very rudimentary and not suitable for shaving properly.
