Guest Reviews

• Larraitz (9/5): -
• SAWA (10/5): -
• Maxi (9/5): -
• Kristyna (9/5): - Andres es muy amable, ayuda con todo. La cama es grande y comoda, la ubicacion excepcional. La area comun hace mucho frio. Asi que lleva ropa
• Kimberley (9/5): - De bedden zijn geweldig. Tweepersoonsbed voor jezelf met lampje, gordijn, oplaadpunt, kluisje in de kamer. Het is een klein, rustig, sociaal hostel. Warme douches, goede wifi en fijne locatie.
• Kyle Patrick (7/5): - Free towel, free drinking water and tea No lock to secure my luggage
• Jorge Mario (10/5): - Este lugar es de los pocos que quedan que brindan calidez y un sentido de sentido como en casa Andrés es el mejor host, que puedas conocer, en serio tiene una habilidad increíble para hacerte sentir como en hogar Las camas con una joyasa
• Augusta (10/5): Sarei voluto rimanere anche di più, Andres che mi ha accolta è una persona fantastica e disponibile a darti consigli. C - I letti erano comodissimi, e tutta la struttura molto accogliente.
• Gabriel (10/5): Very good location and friendly staff. - La localización en el barrio de la Candelaria es excelente para caminar y visitar alrededor. El barrio es tranquilo y relativamente seguro. El anfitirón Andrés es muy noble y muy buena gente. Regresaré siempre.
• PIERRE-LOUIS (10/5): -
• Ciancia (10/5): - El lugar es lindo, cómodo y está muy bien ubicado, perfecto para recorrer la zona histórica caminando. Quiero destacar especialmente la atención de Andrés, quien fue muy amable desde el primer momento y me recomendó varios lugares para visitar, para aprovechar mi estadía Es una muy buena opción para quienes buscan buena ubicación, un ambiente agradable y una atención cercana. Lo recomiendo y volvería.
• Eduardo (10/5): Excelentes instalaciones y servicio - Atención y limpieza
• Neha (10/5): - Andrés was very good at reaching out and super helpful. The beds were super comfortable and the hostel is small so not noisy but still sociable (if the others want to talk). Clean, hot showers and I think the cheapest laundry service I've seen (I didn't use it) Not really a bad thing but there's a high credit card commission. I arrived on my first night with no cash but it was fine, I paid the next day when I had cash.
• Ferdi (10/5): - Kleines , überschaubares Hostel wo man auch kochen kann und warm duschen kann . Zentrumsnah gut gelegen und abends ruhig . Bogota kann abends etwas kühler sein , deswegen wurde man hier mit 2 Decken ausgestattet .Andrés hat mich herzlich begrüßt und mir eine kurze Übersicht über alles wichtige gegeben. Er war immer für fragen erreichbar. Er ist wie ein großer Bruder dem es wirklich am Herzen liegt das man einen Guten Aufenthalt hat, eine großartige Person . Jederzeit wieder gerne.
• François (10/5): -
• Morrison (10/5): -
• Jorge (10/5): Encantados con Andrés y su Hostel. - La cálida acogida y todas las recomendaciones de Andrés. La ubicación del hostel en tan encantador barrio. Los baños e instalaciones, era como sentirse en casa. Si volvemos a Bogotá, repetiremos sin dudarlo.
• Junsik (10/5): - 사장님 친절하시고 침대가 편함 주방 깔끔
• Yoojin (10/5): -
• Danielle (10/5): Amazing stay - I mean you just have to read everyone else's reviews and they are all true! Andres is so nice and accommodating. Its a cheap, clean hostel with comfortable beds in a great location. Would happily stay here again :) Nothing!
• Vince1402 (9/5): -
• Marian (10/5): - We had an amazing stay at Banana Hostel Bogotá and can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we arrived, Andreas made us feel so welcome and at home. The location is great for exploring Bogotá, with plenty of things to see, eat, and do nearby. Overall, it was the perfect base for our time in the city.
• Jesica (8/5): - El tamaño de las camas es genial y el trato del personal muy bueno.
• Rafael José (9/5): - Lindo y el administrador reamable
• Xóchitl (8/5): -
• Margaux (10/5): Je recommande Banana hostel, c’était super ! - Le personnel accueillant qui donne plein de conseils, les lits doubles, la cuisine petite mais très bien équipée et il y a de l’eau à disposition Rien
• Benjamin (8/5): - Super Gastgeber und gute Lage
• Thierry (9/5): -
• Aurea de Fatima (10/5): Confortável e quieto - Lugar maravilhoso! O Andres é um querido. Fui super bem recebida e acho que foi o hostel mais confortável que dormi.
• Eras Alvarado (10/5): - Ordenado, limpio, excelente ubicación y un ambiente muy amigable
• Lucie (10/5): - La taille du lit, la gentillesse d'Andres, l'ambiance dans l'hostel, la douche chaude et une cuisine pratique (bien équipée), le prix ! Super rapport qualité-prix Les draps en polyester mais ce n'est rien par rapport à toutes les choses qui sont bien
• Alexander (10/5): - Super clean, nice hostel with amazing and kind owner, who is always ready to assist you in case of need
• Johanna (9/5): - Große Betten, ruhige Lage und im historischen Kern
• Arwin (10/5): Perfekt um die Stadt zu erkunden - Sehr gute Unterkunft um die Stadt zu erkunden. Andres war super hilfreich und sehr nett! Man kann dort auch sehr gut Leute kennenlernen.
• Felipe Manoel (10/5): - Excelente estadia, fui muito bem recebido e a estrutura é ótima, além da localização privilegiada. Andrés é um ótimo anfitrião e definitivamente voltarei quando estiver em Bogotá.
• Manuel (10/5): Un hogar en Bogotá. - Ubicado en el barrio de Candelaria, la zona es segura, con muchos restaurantes y tiendas alrededor. Colchones cómodos, limpio y buen wifi, pero sin duda lo más destacable es la cálida acogida de Andrés que te hace sentir en casa nada más llegar. Las mantas son un tanto finas para el frío bogotano, pero Andrés facilita más si es necesario.
• Jie (8/5): -
• Maxsuel (10/5): -
• Nélia Catarina (8/5): - Andrés is super friendly and helpful, the location is in La Candelária and the hostel is organized. It's not the most sociable hostel so probably not the right place if you want to meet people.
• Richard (8/5): -
• Erick (8/5): - La comodidad de las instalaciones
• Laurie (10/5): - Andrés est à l’écoute et toujours présent, il se soucis de ces hôtes. C’est très convivial et agréable dans un coin calme de la ville et proche de tout. J’y retournerai sans hésiter !
• Julia (10/5): Perfect stay in Bogotá - The Owner is super friendly and attentive. The place is clean and comfortable. The kitchen is great. The location is safe and close to some good restaurants, museums and the Center
• Paul (8/5): Très bon séjour dû à l'accueil et la proximité du centre historique - Très bon accueil et lieu convivial Malheureusement le WiFi n'était pas fonctionnel à cette période. Mais gérant nous a aidé pour palier ce dysfonctionnement.
• Camilo (9/5): - Muy buen hostel, clima tranquilo y agradable. Mención especial para Andrés, un genio. No sé
• Manuel (10/5): Top - De host was super vriendelijk, hij laat je peteen thuisvoelen. De grote bedden zijn ook super Als het regent, vallen er waterdruppels van het plafond in de badkamer. Wanneer je dan net gebruik maakt van het toilet kan dit een beetje onaangenaam zijn. Voor de rest super!
• Murielle (10/5): -
• JULIA (10/5): Maravilhosa. - Super bem organizado e limpo. O anfitrião está sempre disposto a ajudar e é super gentil. Fica no centro, então a noite pode ser um pouco isolado. Recomendo muito.
• Tom (10/5): - Very comfortable beds with privacy screens in a secure, safe hostel with a super lovely host who is willing to help anyway he can. If i ever come back to Bogotá, I will for sure stay at banana hostel again I only stayed for one night and wish i stayed longer
• ZENA (8/5): - On se sent en famille dans ce Hostel, beaucoup grâce à Andrés qui est très disponible et agréable. Il y a une cuisine pour cuisiner, du thé et du café à disposition et des restaurants/bars sympa à 10 mn à pied sur une place, le quartier est tranquille même le soir. Quartier historique bien pratique. Une cheminée ou chauffage dans le patio/pièce commune serait un vrai plus !
• Christina (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Bogotá - Everything there is good!
• Edyta (10/5): - The host was amazing! Very kind and helpful!
• Akiho (10/5): 満足です。 - 女性専用ドミトリーに泊まりました。ベッドが広くて快適＋清潔です。枕元にコンセント、電灯あり。バックパックが入るロッカーあり。ランドリーサービスあり（15000コロンでした）　タオル無料貸し出しありボゴタは朝夜冷えるのでシャワーのお湯が出るのが嬉しい。ホストがとても親切。中心地までは歩いて10-15分くらい　夜は出歩いていませんが、日中歩く分には特に危険は感じませんでした。　トイレとシャワーは男女共用が２つずつあります。キッチン、冷蔵庫あり。 立地が坂の上なので、体力に自信がない人はuberで行くのがオススメ　 ヘアドライヤーはありません
• Jason (10/5): I enjoyed My staying and highly recommend the Banana Hostel - Management of hostel None
• Eliziana Cavalcanti (9/5): Hospedagem excelente - Atendimento do Andrés, limpeza, localização, conforto. Tomadas ao lado da minha cama não funcionavam.
• Beau (10/5): - Firstly this hotel is amazing value for money, in a great location and it’s super comfortable! Andres is an amazing host, he’s very welcoming and helpful. I cannot recommend this place enough!! Que chimba!!!!!!
• Parissa (10/5): Awesome stay:) - The location is great, right in the candelaria but on a side street, so it’s quiet. The place itself feels safe, calm and super clean. It has everything necessary (well equipped kitchen, hot showers, luggage storage, place to hang out and good Wi-Fi) and super comfy beds. It feels like you have your own little room. The staff is fantastic and really helps you with everything you might need while making you feel welcome. I would definitely recommend it. If you are looking for a party hostel, this might not be the right place.
• Jason (8/5): Great stay! - Andres is a great host, he really makes you feel welcome. The beda are great, very comfortable
• Flavie (10/5): Parfait - - l’extrême gentillesse d’Andrés le gestionnaire du lieu, il est toujours là pour conseiller et rendre service. Un vrai plus quand on débarque dans une ville ! - la propreté du lieu - l’emplacement - le matelas grand et confortable - les commodités, rien ne manque
• Jesper (9/5): -
• Guest (10/5): - Andres est un hôte très accueillant avec de très bon conseils. Il est disponible à tout moment si besoin ! Les lits deux places, même pour les voyageurs individuels sont très confortables et c’est génial.
• Alexia (10/5): - I don’t have enough words to describe this place! Great location, on a quiet street but close to all the attractions of La Candelaria. The dorms are the best I’ve had in Colombia: double beds, lots of blankets, big lockers and a curtain/light/plug at each bed. The showers are great with very hot water, which is a must in Bogota. The kitchen is fully functional and since it’s a smaller hostel, meeting people is very easy. As everybody mentioned in the other comments, the real highlight of this place is Andres, who will go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and welcomed. Nothing bad to mention!
• Isa Montes (10/5): - La ubicación, la tranquilidad, la amabilidad
• Saquicoray (10/5): -
• Juan Diego (10/5): -
• Felix (9/5): -
• Dimitri (10/5): - The host is one of the best people you ll ever meet.
• Antonin (9/5): -
• vivienne (9/5): Very welcoming friendly little hostel - Fantastic big curtained beds Small sitting area no comfy sofas
• Estefaniap (9/5): El mejor primer contacto con Colombia - Andrés, el encargado del Banana, es el mejor primer contacto con Bogotá que uno puede desear. Las camas dobles son cómodas, y ofrecen privacidad con luz individual, cortina y enchufe. Hay taquillas de candado en la habitación, una por cama. La ducha tiene agua caliente, y el hostal ofrece toalla. Cocina compartida para guardar alimento en el frigorífico, o cocinar con gas. Las habitaciones no cuentan con la mejor ventilación... Durante el día dejamos la puerta abierta para ello pero es un tanto insuficiente. Solo hay dos baños mixtos, a compartir con el resto de huéspedes. Aunque es un hostal pequeñito, puede coincidir que ambos estén ocupados a la vez.
• Eduardo Daniel (10/5): -
• Jacco (9/5): - Andres was a great host!
• Sofía Daniela (10/5): Lindo y acogedor - Muy bueno, céntrico y lugar acogedor. 🫶🏼
• Sabrina (10/5): - Andres ist ein sehr zuvorkommender, hilfsbereiter und netter Gastgeber. Das Hostel hat alles was man braucht, die Betten sind bequem und man hat Privatsphäre. Location ist gut gelegen. -
• Leonardo (8/5): - Localização ótima, cama espaçosa e confortável, staff muito solícito
• PaolaStella (10/5): - Hot shower, the location and Andres was super helpful
• Antonio França (8/5): Bom custo benefício - Bom preço, perto das principais atrações turísticas, vc faz tudo andando. Região segura. O André foi bastante receptivo e amável, dando dicas. Toalha de banho poderia ser melhor. Muito fina.
• MARA MIGUEL (10/5): Excelente! Fantástico!! - Andrés é o melhor anfitrião do mundo! Um lugar extremamente limpo, bem localizado, bem decorado, silencioso e no coração do bairro da Candelária. Se pode fazer tudo a pé. Tem restaurantes, bares, supermercados etc. Sai às 3 am da manhã e Andrés estava disponível a me ajudar. Muito carinhoso.... Muito obrigada por tudo.
• Franco (10/5): Impresionante hospedaje - El hostal es increíble, Andrés es un gran anfitrión abierto a responder cualquier pregunta y siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Lo recomiendo mucho para quienes deseen caminar Bogotá y gozar de un buen descanso
• Ricardo (8/5): Well located, comfortable and new. Andrés is a great host. - Andrés the host is exceptionally helpful and kind. The details in the decorations are a welcoming touch..
• Francesca (10/5): Exceptional - Position, really clean, and the bed was super comfortable!
• Sakeenah (5/5): An honest review - Pros: Location - on a beautiful street and next to many attractions Filtered water and free coffee in the morning Welcoming host I rely heavily on reviews when I travel. Hopefully, the following information will enable fellow travelers to make an informed decision about staying here. Cons: There is a club/bar located directly next to the hostel. I went to bed with music blaring in my room and woke up to music (and emceeing) at 10:00 am the morning. All the rooms face the main reception area — it’s tiny and the whole place echoes — you can hear absolutely everything. I booked a private room - but there is no privacy. The noises from the main area and people in the bathroom felt incredibly intrusive. I left after the first night.
• Jean (10/5): A warm welcome in an ideal location - Andres was fantastic, very kind with many recommendations. The bed was really comfy and the location of the hostel was close to everything. I will come back there without hesitation. None
• B2bee (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yunjia (10/5): Exceptional -
• Fabio (8/5): Very good -
• Yitan (10/5): wonderful experience - Staying here was a very memorable experience. It is located in the old town, very quiet, close to all attractions and very convenient with coffee shops restaurants nearby. Andres, in particular, was exceptionally welcoming, gave me a lot of help, spent most of the day with me to get everything I needed, cared about my needs, and was warm like a family member!
• Nicoló (10/5): Exceptional - Really recommended all perfect and Andres, the owner, is super friendly.
• Aisha (9/5): comfy, well located, and clean - I didn’t want to leave this hostel! The double beds were amazing and so comfortable, the lockers were spacious and big enough to store belongings, and the shower was really hot. Perfect location in la candelaria that’s close enough to all of the attractions but far enough that you don’t hear any noise. There is a D1 around the corner and there are many restaurants and plaza quevedo a 5-10 min walk away. You can also walk to monserrate from here. I felt that the neighborhood was safe and felt safe walking alone to and from the hostel. Andrés is so kind and one of the best hosts, he has lots of information and recommendations of things to do in the area and will make sure you have a great stay! Thanks so much for everything!
• Nicola (9/5): Superb - Wonderful, generous host, a comfy bed and on the edge of the historic part of town. Really appreciated the water filter that discourages the need for one use plastic water buying.
• Ramona (9/5): See you again - Very nice stuff, comfortable bed, quiet area Room is a bit small
• Joana (10/5): 10 out of 10 - One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at in my life! The bed was gigantic! Perfect sized lockers, curtains for privacy and the location was great! Very safe and close to everything. The host was very friendly and very helpful, he did everything to make everyone feel at home and he was amazing at getting everyone to socialize. I recommend this hostel with all my heart
• Adam (9/5): Superb - I had a great stay for two nights, the host was very kind and helpful and makes everyone feel comfortable , a real nice person. Comfortable big bed , free coffee and water and a large locker, very clean! Todo bein!
