Good value for money, however there is a lack of staff in the bar/restaurant which makes it quasi impossible to order food or drinks during the day. Not a party hostel, but nice bar with good music.. slight lack of atmosphere but the showers are hot, the beds comfortable and the location is close enough to the center!

Decent hostel. Beds were very clean and comfortable and the location was conveniently between the bus stop and the major points in town. Bathrooms could be cleaner BUT very good for what the price is. Hot showers all the time, too!

Really liked this hostel : nice people at the reception desk, good breakfast (well, classic continental breakfast but the bread was really good!), nice big bar, free internet and the hostel itself looks pretty nice. And I managed to get a good night sleep! Compared to other hostels in La Paz, this was a dream. Will definitely go back there when I return to La Paz.

Only stayed there for one night but all the staff were nice and the atmosphere in the bar area was just what we were looking for. Was sad to leave after one day.

Well decorated Hostel, close to the City Centre of La Paz. Never leave any valuables in your room or they will be taken. Doors to the dorms are bot lockable.

Good place to get sleep when needed and within walking distance of the parties at Loki and Wild Rover. Wonderful food served at the bar.

Really liked this hostel. The bar is great with free pool and table tennis. Not all of the advertised events and facilities take place e.g. the oxygen bar wasnt working the whole time we were there and a lot of the daily events didnt take place. The beds are very comfortable and the breakfast is a standard bread and jam.

The location is great and the beds are nice. The downside is the poor service in the bar where you have to wait atleast 1 hour for even the simplest food on the menu.

Very nice place, with friendly, helpfull staff. And a hot shower once in a while :) There is an inside and outside common area, with a drink or two if you want, but not too loud. Good experience overall.

The beds were comfortable, and the food in the bar was good. But the showers were freezing cold, not even bareable cold. So we changed hostel after one night.

Most of the staff spent their time chatting to each other at the end of the bar rather than serving guests, There were only two that were helpful and attentive. We had a problem in the room and the reception was quick to change us to another room which was great. Movie room is good but uncomfortable and bar later at night is definitely a party place if thats what you are after. Pretty nice food also.

The showers were an issue. The ceiling is rotted & peeling from moisture & mildew and therefore stinks up the entire shared shower room. I thought it was the shower curtains that stunk but I believe it's the ceiling. Moisture drips down from the ceiling. They need to fix that first before renovating rooms. Location was away from main areas but close to the bus station. A bit obscure. Some staff don't speak English.

I always stay at Bacoo when I go to La Paz. The beds are super comfortable and the blankets are really warm, the shower is (usually) hot, and it's cheap. The front desk staff are really helpful and friendly and I've never had a negative experience here.

I stayed 4 days during new year. The big dorms were very crowded - the beds are really close. the lockers for your stuff are outside the room. The toilets were dirty all the time and they were running out of breakfast before ending time. On New Years eve my friend and I waited for 15 minuts in the middle of the night before they opened the door. We booked a tour for the jungle and were promised a trip down the Bení River but there was no boat trip. Didn´t have a really good time in this hostel.
