Guest Reviews

• Kotnik (6/5): Good stay - Very nice location, good breakfast, good value for the money, the staff is very nice. Very cold room, but the staff provided some blankets, shower is a little bit cold, but if you let it flow long enough it is hot.
• Harpo (7/5): Great place, bring warm clothes. - It's pretty clean. The host was extremely friendly and kind. Great location. Breakfast had fruit, bread, and pancakes. No protein, but I can't really complain because of the super price. TV in private room. I did isla del luna, isla del sol and isla flotantes tour with the hostel for 60BOB. The main negative was the room temperature. This is the second coldest room I have slept in my entire life. I wore 6 upper layers, two leg layers and used 3 blankets (one of which I carry with me), gloves and a hat and still was cold when sleeping. I, however, realise it is not the hostel's fault directly (the altitude in copacabana means cold nights and mornings). However, I suppose a radiator or some extra blankets wouldn't go amiss. I also found dog hair in he breakfast where dogs roam freely. The shower water was cold and had electrics exposed to water. There was no toilet roll or soap in the room.
• Matheus (4/5): If you enjoy a terrible time... - It's cheap, close to the main square where you get the bus to go in and out of the city, close to the restaurants and bay where you can do tourist stuff. From the moment I walked in, they were already trying to sell me one of the tours. I had not even completed check in they already want to show me videos of tours of Isla de la Luna and get me to buy other services. If you show you are not very interested, they change their attitude and don't treat you so well. I left my clothes on the first day to be washed, they were never washed and after 2 days they were still sitting at the reception. Someone told me 6 bolivianos per kg, which would amount to 12 bolivianos considering the amount of clothes I had to wash, another receptionist said 16 bolivianos. They don't know their own prices. After I mentioned I was checking out, one of the cleaning ladies simply made the bed again for another customer to use, and didn't take the bed sheets out to wash. The place smells bad, especially the bathrooms, there's no toilet paper, the bathroom on the second floor doesn't have hot water, the flush system is broken and it's so humiliating to the point one of the guests went to the reception and said this to the owner or manager: "hey, I can fix this for you if you want to". Imagine a guest coming over and fixing your broken hostel for you while you can't stop talking about selling tours instead of offering a good stay to your clients? Completely humiliating. Internet is not good. Breakfast is not what you see in the pictures. You have bread, jam, butter, coffee, teas, bananas and that's it. The chairs in the breakfast area are mostly broken. Confusion in their system, they stopped me to ask for my name after I had already been there for 1 or 2 days. It's a mess, I wouldn't recommend it. You live like a rat. Sometimes paying less is not worth it, and this is the case. Just go somewhere serious and responsible where you can actually exist decently. The owner/manager seriously need to check their priorities and get some maintenance done at this hostel.
• Aubrey (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jan (9/5): Superb - I enjoyed my one-night stay very much. For such a low price I got a single room and the breakfast was amazing! Great and helpful staff speaking english.
• Bruno (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elizabeth (10/5): Great! - Location, staff, room and breakfast all absolutely fantastic. Really I wish I’d stayed here longer. My room was super clean and I slept incredibly well. They can organise tours and have a laundry service. The breakfast was super and ample to keep you going through the day.
• Gaelle (8/5): Very good - The staff
• Travelling (7/5): Good -
• Travelling (7/5): Good -
• Daniëlle (6/5): The stay was okay. - Big room and bathroom. Stores and the lake only a few minutes away. Quite comfortable bed, especially for this price! Quite some stains in the sheets and the water wasn’t working. There was a guy sleeping outside my window in day time and you can hear everyone in the hallway.
• Laura (4/5): Disappointing - Breakfast was ok, but sadly just sweet stuff. To get warm water for the tea was a bit of a challange because some of the volanteers preparing breakfast seemed to not know that you have to cook a water for a bit longer to get bacteria out of the water. After asking they provide toilet paper. Good location. Some of the volanteer staff was nice. Shower electrecuted me just by touching the tap to reduce water streem. Electricity in the rooms was done very unsafe. Unnecessary complicated check in. They dont clean under beds. Some of the rooms didn't have toilet seat. Staff was not nice and gave us falls information about the price to leave the bags, just told us that we had to pay at the moment we were hurrying to take the boat and before they sayed it was for free as we were coming back for another night. If you need a really cheap place and don't care about electrical safety then it's ok to stay for 1 or 2 nights.
• Inderpreet (9/5): Superb - Close walking distance to everything / everywhere. (transport links, centre, view points, hikes and the beach). Friendly welcoming and accommodating staff, simple decent complimentary breakfast and access to kitchen and hot drinking water. No hot water to shower.
• Ivanka (10/5): Great hostel in Copacabana - Comfortable beds, great location, posibility of oranizing tours, great people and very good breakfast.
• Stephanie (6/5): Old building good enough to rest for a night - Very helpful staff, mostly volunteers! It's an old place that needs some maintenance and organization!
• Fannie (7/5): Good - Central, East to check in okt, breakfast ok, bread and jam, coffe tee. Its reallöner chefar and i recommend it for a chefar stat Its moist, and they start to play musik at 7in the morning, so we had a room with the window facing the reception so i woke up.
• Cara (3/5): This place needs some serious TLC. You could not pay me to stay here again. - It was in a good location. The room was not clean. We paid for a private bathroom however we couldn’t shower, as the shower was taped up/ not working. The bathroom also smelt like rotten egg/ sewage. The public bathroom we then used was freezing cold and the lock did not work. Plugs sparked and had open dangerous sockets.
• Simona (7/5): It's okay - Nice simple rooms. I stayed in a private room with bathroom. Hot shower available. Toilet paper you have to ask at the reception Breakfast included next building, really simple jam, bread, coffee or tea, some fruit but it's really counted .. Great location, 5min from the bus terminal and less to the lake! You can only pay at the property and they decide the exchange rate.. so even if on booking is in bob they exchange anyway.. Dogs from the street coming and out and go to the rooms if the door is open. When I stayed the second time in the dorm only one socket for 4 people.
• Saiidi (3/5): Poor - Good location, cheap Overcharged me, stained sheets, got electric shocks from the shower, staff was playing music and sound of films loudly so I could hear it from the room
• Anais (7/5): Good - Great location, comfy beds, good view from room. Breakfast included Cold showers
• Laura (6/5): Pleasant - Good location. Breakfast was ok, but only sweet things to eat. It was dificult to get some toilet paper.
• Katie (7/5): Cheap, basic and good value for money - Great location, close by to everything needed. Very good value for money. Staff were friendly! Dodgy showers give you an electric shock, unorganised (I was waiting until nearly 11pm on my last night for my washing), very dirty kitchen
• Martin (2/5): Very poor - Nothing i like here. The whorse experience ever! the worst hostel I've ever been to. I strongly do not recommend it. a slacker works at the reception. instead of working he chooses music on youtube. I waited 30 minutes to check in!! he subsequently told me the wrong information about the transport to Isla del Sol just to sell me the ticket. because of his wrong information I had to stay on the island until the next day. dogs from the street climb into the hostel and the staff doesn't care. in the morning there was excrement on all the toilets and it was impossible to flush. and one more thing. the hotel charges much more than what is shown on booking.com. they do not respect the official course. more guests had this problem. avoid this place in a big arc.
• Cita (3/5): Good location, poor facilities - The hostel is close to the main streets. They provide you lunch for 10bb. Breakfast: coffee, sweets, jam, cookies. The room was really cold. The bathroom was not very nice - the shower curtain was ripped, there was no possibility to regulate the temperature of water. The room between bathroom and bedroom smelled like rotten eggs. We extend our stay for one night, directly with them, not through booking app and the next day they charged us twice as much for it. They said it’s because of the weekend, but we have checked and on booking app the price was the same. Later on the receptionist came with different excuse. The receptionists were in general super nice and friendly, but this last conversation was discussed with impatience and we haven’t resolved anything. We felt a bit fooled.
• Simpelvel (5/5): Passable - Well,is nice hostel with helpful staff and good breakfast next to door. Great location. My bed was ok,nice blanket. TV. My room was ok but little bit dangerous. Open plug. In shower is very wierd douche. There is power (don't touch),and I could see to the another room 🙂. I gave them laundry.Big plastic bag full of dirty clothes,they give me back washed? plastic bag full of 'shit'. No ironic no fold 😁😁. And no toilet paper during 4 days 🤷‍♂️. Stay cost almost 28$. I paid 30$. They still owen me 2$ 🙂. And anytime when I close the door I had to use my power. Something is bad with doors. And room is really very cold.
• Alexander (7/5): Good -
• Jason (8/5): Very good - For the price, very good value. Jimmy in reception was very friendly !
• Luis (1/5): Bad - It was very dirty.
• Markéta (4/5): Disappointing - Alright, quiet location. Definitely the coldest place I have ever been. Not even two blankets saved the situation. The rooms was super basic, which is fine, but bathroom was not cleaned after previous guest.
• Arrate (8/5): Very good -
• Astrid (7/5): Good -
• Charlotte (5/5): Passable - Good location, nice cake at breakfast with a good view! The window in our room didn't shut, the shower had exposed wires and had a small electric shock when we tried to use it! No hot water either. Faulty plug socket and only one in the room, which only worked at a specific angle.
• Iwona (1/5): Bad - nothing Super cold in the room. Breakfast very poor. This is not breakfast from the pictures on booking.com.
• Hayley (2/5): Horrendous! do not stay! - Nothing very noisy. staff unhelpful. bed uncomfortable. unclean. exposed wires in shower and every light fitting. plug sockets didn’t work. was told through booking.com that they informed me my card was invalid so contact bank, but no it’s because they want you to pay cash on arrival. breakfast was stale. wifi was sketchy at best.

• De (6/5): Pleasant - nice breakfast and quite room very expensive for what you actually get. very dirty bathrooms

• Kassandra (7/5): Good - It was very clean. The guy from the staff was very friendly and helpful! breakfast at the terrace with a nice view. no paper toilet, there was no coffee at the breakfast (they fixed at the end when we asked for it but needed to wait). No sheets just blankets.

• Mala (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elis (9/5): Superb -
• Bailey (9/5): Great place to stay for a few nights in Copacabana! - The staff was so friendly and helpful and very welcoming when we checked in. The location is great as it’s very close to the bus terminal and to the port. The bathroom could have been a little cleaner but really was not bad at all.
• Leeds (9/5): Comfortable & good value for money - Comfortable room & bed, very food breakfast. Nice rooftop with lake view. Friendly & helpful reception. Shower is hot, but the pressure is low.
• Laura (5/5): Not great - Staff were very friendly The room was freezing, there was no heating. the shower was awful and smelt very damp. On the last day we went to breakfast the buffet was a half eaten mess, there were no plates or cutlery. We left to go and buy our own breakfast.
