I had a marvelous experience at Masaya. I loved that they had a social environment without being a crazy party place. The food was so good -- best breakfast I have ever had in a hostel! I also loved how friendly and international the staff was. Everyone was so kind and helpful!

Great Hostel! My brother and I stayed their for a few nights and had no issues. They had clean rooms, hot showers, a nice restaurant and were located in a good general direction to get around in the city. Next time I return to Bogota I'll be staying at Masaya.

Great thing you offered me safe taxi drive from and to airport, internet doesn't work downstairs, your kitchen could be opened for lunch to, on the streets you can only finf fast food so it would be great if you would offer local famous food in your restaurant

Masaya has to be one of the nicest hostels I have stayed at. Everything was clean and modern, the social areas great and the staff is super fun and friendly. You can't be bored at this hostel with all the stuff to do and if you tell the staff that you're bored they will set you up with a bunch of stuff to do. The Tejo trip they promote is one of the best things I've done travelling.

We extended our stay twice and stayed in 3 diff private rooms, all were very clean and very comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff, especially Victoria who did an excellent job at getting the noisier guests to quiet down after 10pm! Great breakfast too! The nicest bathrooms we had seen in long while! And the security was excellent with bagID tags given whilst your luggage was stored!

The hostel was well maintained, the rooms were in good condition (clean with lockers) and the security well organized. The breakfast was above average (free when you stay in a private room and 5,000 pesos when staying in a dorm room). The personel was really helpfull and were able to answer any question I had. The only two negative things were that the admosphere was poor, not a hostel were you easily meet people, and the wifi didn´t work properly in a lot of places in the hostel.

Loved staying at this hostel, it had such a brilliant and chilled vibe to it. The social areas are great and clean, the toilets were always clean too and had plenty of hot water in the showers. The staff were always so friendly and happy to help. Would recommended this place highly. The curtains around the beds were awesome too, just be careful not to sleep all day :)
