Bacoo Hostel Reviews

Great rooms with comfortable beds and we loved having wifi in the rooms! Great location, easy walking distance for things to see and do!

Very big hostel! didnt have the same party vibe as some of the others around la paz which was good! did have potential to get going though. dorms can be massive. stunk terribly in the morning but always was clean! bathrooms very clean! showers were on the cold side unless you went at the perfect time or when no one else was showering! spa was closed when i was there! good restaurant. Location is fairly good! just up the hill a few blocks from the main street and market.

I rated the security as poor, though the front door is locked. People from other hostels do enter with guests, and stuff has a nasty habbit of going missing from the dorms. There are lockers available at the reception though, and I strongly suggest using them! Staff I rated as average. Some were amazing, others not so. I guess it is mood dependent. Location is great - close enough to walk to the bus station, but also just a few blocks from the main square, and the `party` hostels....

DO NOT eat from the kitchen here, I had a two day hospital stay suffering from Typhoid after eating there and another three people had salmonella, Its a shame really as the hostel is really nice, but just stay away from the kitchen at all costs, they obviously haven´t got a clue how to clean it or anything about food hygiene.

awesome ! should I say more? well I dont think so... Go there, enjoy!

The hostel is a party hostel, a bar is the central feature; it´s open late. Music, pool and pingpong. Lots of young party goers hang out here, and a few oldies like us, who weren´t really part of ´the scene´. IT was ok, lots to do in Peru and some nearby restaurants, bars and clubs kept us busy. Main complaint that the room we had was freezing, and they cleaned the showers at 10am, just when I was wanting to have one!

Our stay in Bacoo Hostel was really nice! It's the perfect plac to rlax after or in between all the greate activities in and around la paz.. it is very close to the food market and some other markets and good restaurants. the staff is friendly, the beds are comfy and warm. there are enough toilets and showers, everything is clean. the only sad thing is, there's no kitchen.. but the restaurenat is good and there is so much nice cheap food around in la paz anyways.. :) JUst a good hostel!!

This is a clean hostel, with friendly staff. Good value for money, and another experience if you don't want to stay at one of the party hostels. Also comfy beds and good blankets.

comfi beds, hot showers, bar could be better: Staff not very helpfull, breakfast one day was really crappy with just slices of dry bread. Lot on the menu wasn't there. Loud music during the day when you just want to skype or something staff at reception is very helpful

We stayed on a friend's recommendation. Nice place with a nice bar and drinks offers. Claims to be a party hostel, but we were pleased to find that it's not too over the top like Loki. The backpacker staff need to be more on the ball at breakfast as things keep running out and are not replaced. Free WiFi is quite good but the computers above the bar need servicing. 2 broken and 1 very slow when we stayed. Sociable hostal, I'd recommend to others. Plug sockets in the lockers is a great idea!!

Pleasant stay here and really loved the courtyard which you could relax in during the day in the hammocks. Only critisms is the bar area. Could do with better seating area as all chairs are falling apart bigtime and be cleaner. Also breakfast was messy and I saw staff literally eating straight off the bar even though there was a stack of plates in front of him. Could be better organised

The hostel was very quiet in March, all rooms were half filled. Bacoo allows travelers to work for a couple weeks here and there in return for free stay. However these French service staff were a nightmare. They basically didn't care. However the local Bolivian staff were helpful.

Nice hostel with a good location. The staff in the reception is nice & helpful but the staff in the bar/restaurant is not serviceminded or nice (except one of the guys with dreads). Smoking is aloud in the common area which is disguisting for us non-smokers. The toilets & showers are cleaned several times a day. The safetylockers have sockets! The beds are wide & comfortable.

I loved this hostel and was so sad that i was just passing through and could only spend the night. The staff are so lovely and helpful, the beds are big and comfy (i stayed in an 8 bed dorm so wasnt cramped), the bar/lounge area is spacious and the music/food/drinks all great. It was one of the nicest hostels i have stayed in, and I would definitely recommend it.

Nice hostel. Bed, even though VERY high, was fine. The music was played very loud until the early hours of the morning which was slightly annoying. Their rules state that the bar is open until 1am, so I assume that this is when the music stopped. They have vegetarian options on their bar menu which was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would stay here again, but I would try to get a room further away from the bar.

Stayed in what was supposed to be an 8 person dorm but it was really a 8+6 dorm. Unfortunate that they let people smoke in the bar/restaurant. Stayed for 3 nights and had cold to Luke warm showers at best. On the plus side the beds were very comfortable and the staff at least seemed to care

We were a bit surprised when we arrived at the hostel and from 7.30pm to 3 am music was playing really loud so that it was not possible to sleep during that time. We did not know that this hostel is supposed to be a "party hostel". Breakfast is basic: bread, jam, butter, tea and coffee.

A nice hostel in the center of La Paz, to stay for a night or chill out for some days. Not to close to the party but close enough.

such a good time in this hostel, we very recommend it! it's really near to the bus station and also to the center. Good food and good people.

really ho showers, small dorms with bunk beds, great wi-fi but no plugs to charge your stuff (except in lockers), really helpful staff, nice garden,
