Jodanga Backpackers Hostel Reviews

There is not much to do in santa cruz , but this hostel is a nice place to relax, beds are good, breakfast is ok a,d swimming pool to.

Amazing hostel - a shame we only stayed one night (if only this hostel was in every other city we are visiting!) Staff are very helpful and speak excellent English. Rooms are warm and beds are comfortable. Showers were hot and clean. Good breakfast including eggs (cooked to your liking). Taxis to the centre are cheap and plenty of restaurants (try Kiwi Cafe - great food). We were able to stay at the hostel most of the day after checking out until our overnight bus. Best hostel in Santa Cruz

I would recommend this hostel to the backpackers, its a very peaceful place to rest, the staff is very helpful, the swimmingpool is amazing, the breakfast is good, the only thing is that is located a bit far from the city centre, but to they give you a hand in calling the taxis, which are very cheap, so no problems to move around.. congrats

very comfortable, great atmosphere, friendly staff and guests

Clean and comfortable, I really enjoyed my stay. The staff was always really nice and helpful. The swimming pool was a real pleasure after the heat and humidity of Santa Cruz! The location is not the best as you have to walk about 30 minutes to get to the city center but there´s not much to do in Santa Cruz so spending the days lazying in the hostel, enjoying the TV, games and swimming pool is a better option than visiting around.

Jodanga def makes you feel at home and the staff will do their very best to help you in any way they can! Great place, a little far off from el centro, but since Santa Cruz is mainly used as a stop over it¨s all good. Highly recommend this place! IT´S GREAT!

Wished i had more time here, but was only in the hostel under 24 hours... But great pool and pool table wifi, awesome breakfast, people were cool with me arriving late at night and staying the day. Would stay here again for sure

Highly recomended!

Fantastic hostel, has everything you need (including a pool!). Fast wifi, great kitchen, delicious breakfast. Only problem is it is a bit of a walk into town.

Really nice hostel with a lot of common places to chill, eg swimming pool tv room with bean bags, pooltable. Nice clean and big rooms as well.

Lovely hostel. Nice swimming pool, nice breakfast, nice game room, helpful staff, good internet..everything works! :) But the dorms are a little stuffy though - but it was cool the night I was there so it wasnt much of a problem. But can be crazy if its hot!

With the exception of te lady on Morning reception staff were not very helpful or nice. Lady making breakfast especially rude. Expensive and all extras are also really expensive (day of check in they asked for $25 for breakfast!). Pool was dirty and closed half of the time we were there and most things are within quite a long walking distance so you have to get taxis around mostly. Nice rooms and hot showers though.

We only stayed here on a stopover so I’m not sure if the location was great or not. Place was really clean , great security and the staff were really accommodating. Loved there blunt signs everywhere!!! Pool looked great!

My only slight criticsm was that the internet was sometimesa bit slow. However this was easily compensated for ny the friendliness and helpful ness of the staff.

One of the most splendid hostel experiences I've ever had. Great staff, great facilities, great fun. The location is an easy cab from downtown.

ANDR4EAS THE OWNER MEETS WITH HIS STAFF OFTEN TO FOCUS ON IMPROVMENT. HE ENCOURAGES EMPLOYEE PARTICIPATION. AFTER FOUR YEARS OF BEING A CUSTOMER, I AM IMPRESSED: LARGE CLEAN POOL, KITCHEN, DORMITORIES AND NEVER A BED BUG. GIANT T.V. ROOM, SUPER FREE BREAKFAST, GUIDED TOURS, LANGUAGE LESSONS AND BAR B QUES. THERE ARE THOSE THAT FLY IN ANDS JUST STAY AT THE HOSTEL RATHER THAN TOUR BOLIVIA.

maybe needs more toilets but i love this hostel. stayed here twice now and will stay again before i fly home.

I highly recommend this hostel! The staff always help us with everything, it was completely clean, the swimming pool was wonderful, the breackfast fantastic, the rooms comfortable. Nothing to complain about! They also have "THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO SANTA CRUZ", their own guide to the city, activities, prices, etc that let you programme your activities while you stay in there.

staff were excellent. Great breakfast.
