• Avigail (10/5): -
• Angel (9/5): - La simpatía de los dueños. En general todo correcto. Tal vez que había que caminar algo al centro. No demasiado.
• O'Hagan (8/5): - Very kind staff with lots of local recommendations
• OSIRIS (8/5): -
• Michele (9/5): - L'hôtel est très bien situé près du téléphérique, dans un quartier calme. Le personnel est très accueillant, donne de bons conseils. Le petit déjeuner était de très bonne qualité. Rapport qualité prix très intéressant.
• samara (10/5): -
• Alejandra (7/5): - El personal y desayuno Ambientes fríos incómoda forma de ingreso al hospedaje
• Peter (8/5): -
• Alexandre (7/5): -
• Joshua (9/5): Lovely stay. - We liked the shared green space it was lovely. Kitchen was grand and nice to be able to use. Diego was great and made amazing recommendations. The whole team was lovely. We had an amazing christmas dinner together. Property is located right near a telefónica station which you can use to travel anywhere in the city. The surrounding area has lots of cafés and restaurantes. Bed was a little stiff but not unbearable.

• Bernal (10/5): - La calidad del personal Todo perfecto
• Jason (9/5): -
• Jakob (9/5): -
• quaranta (6/5): - Spazi comuni e cucina, staff molto disponibile Bagni pessimi, stanza potrebbe essere più ventilata e quindi salubre
• Leonie (8/5): - Sehr nettes Personal, wenn auch kaum Antwort auf WhatsApp oder booking Nachfragen. Alles sauber und ruhig. Mitten in Sopochaci um die Kunstaustellungen zu besuchen. Für vieles andere muss man aber in die Casco viejo oder san Pedro Stadtteil ( besonders Touren).
• BARZILAY (9/5): -
• lisa (7/5): Si può fare di più - Lo staff è fantastico e ti aiuta in tutto quello di cui hai bisogno. Purtroppo non ho trovato il posto particolarmente pulito, c’era sempre odore di fumo dovuto al fatto che l’area fumatori era adiacente alla camerata e la struttura in sé è molto scura, poco accogliente. Mi dispiace dire ciò perché Diego il proprietario è molto attento e affettuoso
• Karen (8/5): - La gente que atiende excelente, la ubicación tambien
• Lizarazu (8/5): - Cálido lugar, gente amable y muy cómodo. Nada
• David (10/5): - Pedro, desde la entrada, muy cordial y atento a solucionar. Se conocen personas de diferentes lados del mundo y se comparte, desde una cena hasta música como amigos de toda la vida.
• Juan Rubio García (10/5): - El personal
• Gustavo (7/5): - Friendly staff, good equipped kitchen Cold water in the showers
• DIEGO (1/5): - La ubicacion
• Martine (8/5): -
• Federico (5/5): -
• Benoit (10/5): -
• Neus (5/5): Ok for the price but it would have been good if the sheets and room did not smell bad - The location is good in a quiet neighbourhood and very close to the yellow teleférico The mattress and sheets smelled like cigarettes which made the 2 nights very unpleasant
• Jonáš (10/5): Friendly hostel in the fun district of Sopocachi - This is the place to start you trip across Bolivia if you want to get invaluable advice about where to go and how to behave in the city. Especially if your Spanish is not too strong (Diego is an amazing guide with perfect English, who is also the nicest person). The vibes in the hostel are great and very friendly, you really feel like a part of a community. The rooms are decent, everything is clean and functional. We were very lucky to spend our first days in the country here!! Highly recommended!! The showers aren't the best
• Audrey (4/5): I wouldn't come back. We felt disrespected. - The hostel was pretty, close to the telepheric The breakfast was a joke. Everything is given in portions: Half a banana per person was the most incredible! Not even one banana per person! If you want eggs, you have to pay. There's always someone from the staff watching at you in the kitchen area like you're a criminal. Personally I need to be quiet when I eat, but the staff was incredibly disturbing, giving all sorts of instruction and comments, not leaving us 5 minutes of peace to eat. I couldn't even stay, I didn't eat. It made the stay very displeasing. All the rules to respect in the hostel are way too strict and it feels like being in a military camp at times. You have to pass through the wet showers to access the toilets, all is wet and dirty, disgusting! Woman toilets/showers had no lock. It cost a nail to fix it, but I guess it is too much to ask. The water has totally been cut off once when I was showering, maybe, the staff considered my shower being too long? Or the water system is no good. I had health problem at that time, I was in pain and cold, I really needed that shower! Finally, we've been shooted at for being noisy in the stairs when leaving at 5:00am; the wood was cracking like crazy. Not our fault, buy some carpet! Overall, we felt treated poorly, stressed by all the restrictions, negative interventions and excessive authority from the staff members. Nop, we won't be back, thanks. I won't miss my half-banana.
• Cowboy (1/5): Bad - Nothing, I booked a room for a week, I got there and the guy said they were full.
• Kateryna (6/5): Great location and facilities but has a cigarette smoke problem - Great location, breakfast well above average. The staff are super nice, helped me a lot to figure out how to use the bus system in La Paz. The downside is that there’s a smoking room right next to the common area. And the smoke comes into the common area and some of the rooms. That’s a big no go for me so I only stayed one night and didn’t return.
• Noemie (9/5): Superb - The staff did everything they could to help us out. Very helpful, friendly, nice breakfast 👌
• David (2/5): Would not stay here again - The kitchen and artwork were nice I wasn’t allowed to check in until 5pm because they had decided to varnish all the furniture in my room. I felt this was incredibly unprofessional and resulted in toxic fumes in my room. I had to sleep with the windows open and because my room was by the “smoking area” of the hostel J was kept awake by loud and inconsiderate guests. There was also a very loud and annoying buzzer right by the room which rings whenever a guest wants to get in without a key. All the benefits of having a private room in order to get a better nights sleep were negated by the very poor location of the room. I would not recommend to stay here again.
• Sebastian (9/5): Superb - Very friendly staff, we had a great time!
• Florent (8/5): Very good - Good stay at greenhouse. Great suburb with nice garden, buses and cable car nearly. Diego is very active, always trying to help or give touristic information. The room is a bit messy without locker or storage
• Jason (8/5): Very good -
• Ildiko (10/5): Best in La Paz - The breakfast staff keeps the kitchen so clean that you could perform a heart transplantation on the counter. I have not been at a hostel in Bolivia where they took so much care of cleanliness:) Overall super helpful staff and good vibes! The receptionist helped me to fix budget friendly accommodation in Riberalta which I am so thankful for!
• Katherine (7/5): Good -
• 李 (2/5): not recommended. - the room, bed, and patio was comfortable. the payment was difficult. they don't accept cards so you have to withdraw cash at a huge markup. you end up paying more than 25% due to exchange rate and other fees.
• Nienke (8/5): Very good - Very nice and inviting chill space. The breakfast is nice but quite limited, wich is understandable for the price. They offer services such as loundry Few toilets, we had a room next to the patio, wich can get a bit noisy
• Heriberto (8/5): Very good -
• Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rippu (5/5): Feel discrimination about Asian people -
• Hossein (10/5): Exceptional - Here I just felt the home, the kitchen, the vibe, staff and location are amazing The quality of the bed is just okay
• Nathaniel (10/5): Great, bohemian hostel in the heart of Sopocachi! - Great location, huge spacious kitchen, friendly staff, good breakfast (you can’t go wrong with marrequetas with jam and butter and coca tea), comfy private rooms (though a little bit tiny but that just made it more cozy), nice hot showers, all in a quaint old house that smells like wood. Overall a great place with a laid-back, hippie/bohemian vibe. We loved our three day stay here! My only minor nitpick (which other reviewers have mentioned) is having to walk through the shower to get to the bathroom. It’s not a big deal and as I said it’s an old house, but definitely bring some chanclas!
• Jayson (8/5): Nice place to stay while in La Paz. - The beds were comfortable. They had an interior common area. Hot showers.
• Kudra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Bente (2/5): Unfortunately the room was extremely dirty, the sheets and blankets and the pillow were really bad. Also the room smelle - Friendly owner Very unhygienic, dirty sheets, dirty blankets, room smelled a lot like smoke from smokers
• Anonymous (8/5): Great location and energy- facilities could be fixed easily - Great vibe in the shared spaces, everyone who worked there was very helpful and lovley to us. Very safe area too Wifi was very unreliable and showers hot water was temperamental
• Anna (5/5): Passable - The kitchen is nice, there is enough space and it's mostly clean. A comfy bed in the second double room we got and access to the terrace. The first room we got had a absolutely terrible mattress. The bathrooms aren't clean. Many times no toilet paper. It's a daily gambling if there is cold/warm/hot water in the shower. The common area/kitchen is pretty cold, especially in the mornings. There is a heater, but half of the time there was no gas to turn it on. In general the vibes in the hostel are a bit weird, the staff is not welcoming and motivated.
• Maud (5/5): Passable - locatie no windows in room, not very clean, dark, no garden like on pictures.
• Ortensia (8/5): Very good - We liked the common space, the balcony in the room and the people were really kind. The shower is hot. The bed was a bit too hard. The shower did not have a regular jet of water and a bit dirty, at least for our standards.
• Carol (5/5): Passable -
• Marlo (7/5): Good place in good location - Nice staff, good location (next to teleférico) Shower isn't really hot
• Beatriz (8/5): Very good -
• Robert (5/5): would not ever go back there again. sorry, guys - the location was pretty nice the kitchen was a mess, the staff was not very helpful, the room smelled like an ashtray, the bathrooms were dirty. all in all we wanted to spend more time outside of the hostel than inside of it.
• Tamara (10/5): Exceptional - Staffs were so kind
• Yusef (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gonzalo (7/5): Ok to stay for a while 👍 - It was cheap and well located, we enjoyed the hospitality of the people of the hostel! they recommend us some tips about Bolivia we didn’t like the shared bathroom! it was tiny and dirty! and the room was a bit dirty too (the blankets)
• Clare (6/5): Pleasant - Big, clean rooms and a good kitchen area The staff had to keep entering our room to sort the water pressure for the hostel (which was located in the room)
• Milena (7/5): Good - we spent one night here and it was very basic stay (which is ok, considering it’s a hostel). the staff was super nice and helpful. it was super basic but ok for one night stay. the room had that old smell on tobacco.
• Decaen (1/5): :/ - “lost” a phone there
• Nils (8/5): Very good -
• Vishal (5/5): Passable - Location was decent, I had a balcony. I paid extra for breakfast, was only given breakfast on one day. Other days the staff weren't there for breakfast. On NYE/D the staff were all drunk (understandable) so no breakfast was available again and the dinning room was a tip from the night before. I have no issue with this except the fact I paid for breakfast and didn't get it. If I knew, I would have opted to not have breakfast. Waste of money. Also, the hotel isn't very friendly unlike other hotels in the area where I ended up spending more time.
• Luca (9/5): Superb - I had a very good stay in Greenhouse. Especially the common area is really nice and cozy. The kitchen is big and super well equipped. Wifi was very strong, I could even have a video call of 2 hours. But I especially liked the outstanding staff, which was so helpful and very very kind to me and helped me with everything! I think for the price it's a very good choice!
• Ed (1/5): Absolute horrible hostel, dirty and unsave - Nothing Checked in for three nights. And after one hour I was already on my way to another place. Definitely the worst hostel experience for me so far. Check in guy was very rude. He did not take any effort to show me around. The 4-person bedroom was filled up with an extra bed on the ground and room smelled like someone had spilled gasoline on the floor. A dog came into the room and came on top of my bed. The bedsheets felt dirty and the mattress thin. No lockers in the room. There were some lockers somewhere far back in the corner of the hostel. It did not felt save. Shower and toilet were next to each other and smelled horrible. The overall feeling in this hostel was very dirty and unsave. Very happy that I moved to another place.
• Dinara (7/5): Good - There's a big kitchen with all stuff needed for cooking. There's adorable dog who likes playing.
• Simon (9/5): Superb -
• Harry (6/5): Pleasant -
• Marin (4/5): It was ok, but I probably wouldn't stay here again. - Some of the staff members were nice and helpful, some were not. The location was great. Probably the dirtiest room I've stayed in. Also there was a doog that pooped in the middle of the hallway.
• Jan (5/5): Below standards hostel for the price - Friendly staff Good equipped kitchen Shower is (mostly) hot First room was dirty, we got a new one which was better. The shower is not very clean and the mens shower is right at the urinal. Because the shower gets flooded, you basically stand in the pee of others. The kitchen in the evening is very dirty, but it gets cleaned in the morning. There is a hostel dog. This might be positive for you but I'm allergic. Also he pooped in the common area.
• Joshua (6/5): Pleasant -
• Laëtitia (7/5): Good - Big kitchen and living room Really nice shower A bit far from the center Unfortunately one person of the staff was really not welcoming, each time I talked to him I felt like annoying him The sheets didn’t smell good… wondering if there were clean. I booked 2 nights and stayed one, also the living area was really nice
• Emwan (7/5): Good stay - Everyone very friendly Pillows weren't great
• Bechir (10/5): Exceptional -
• Verified traveler (8/5): - They have hot shower, welcoming atmosphere and are clean
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Great service and clean. However can get better for your money. We moved to another place for a few more dollars and got a full apartment with kitchen, living area and ensuite, compared to a small double room with shared bathroom. Also very cold, we slept in our coats and tracksuit bottoms.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Recommended stay in La Paz - Friendly and accommodating staff-especially as we arrived hours before check in. Very clean communal areas and good sized private rooms. Plenty of bathrooms and showers (and hot!). Chill vibe throughout.
• Brian (8/5): A welcoming haven. - Pleasant and friendly welcome. Very good atmosphere. Fortunate to arrive the day they were cooking Roast Beef and accompanying vegatables. Very well run establishment with very friendly and helpful staff.
• Fi (8/5): Super friendly & convenient guest house. - A well presented guest house with the nicest host. Small mix up at check in, the private double we had reserved was not reserved (-1/2 star) and we were offered a dorm, initially it sounded as though this would be private but later we were joined by 2 guys (-1/2 star), we were only charged dorm rates so no big deal. However, one guy got naked when he went to bed. I didn't see this as I was asleep, but my BF did. Given he knew there was a girl in the room, it was pretty disrespectful behavior (-1/2 star). Also no towels available (-1/2 star). Host/owner was the friendliest hostel owner I've ever encountered and the hostel was exceptionally busy, so it's understandable there are some glitches. Host offered handwritten instructions on how to find dinner (+1/2 star) and city tour (+1/2 star), so kind even offers extra food at breakfast (+1/2 star). Kitchen & bathrooms very clean, showers super hot. Beds comfy, rooms warm, nice vibe, a host that really cares about his guests.
