    Rhe elerrci shower was awful and I was getting electric shock all the time.

    I stay just one night in a single room and I sleep well. The bed was comfy and an OK breakfast with not so many options. Great location

    The personnel did not speak any English, although that is not uncommon in Bolivia. After check-in, the lady of the hostel had difficulties finding our room, which we found a bit weird. Then the room itself. We booked a double bed, but got three singles. Because of the difficulties with the language, we just accepted it as it was. The beds did not feel very clean and had a funny smell. This has been the first hostel where I used my own sleeping bag instead of the blankets because it did not feel clean. There was also no warm water. The internet was also only available at the reception, which was in another building. So, we were okay sleeping here for one night, but will not come back here for another.

    We liked the location the most. It is very close to the city center and the harbor.

    the shower, if you touch the faucet without turning off the lever, it gives you a little electric shock.

    I liked the bed, it is very comfortable and the view to the lake is awsome. There was a lot of space at the room.

    Well the breakfast wasn't as good as a lot of people said. I think it used to be good, now it's just the regular things you get in Bolivia but considering the price I've paid for a privat room with bathroom, I won't complain :)

    It's a great location, you close to all the restaurants but to be fair, Copacabana isn't that big. The staff was extremely nice, the beds clean and you have a nice view from the rooftop.

    Not recommended. Worst place ever, dirty, stinky bathroom, broken toilet seat, plugged sinks, freezing cold no heater, no air-condition, no water kettle, no bar, no restaurant. None of the promised equipment was available. Breakfast very poor, no pancakes, no plates, almost nothing left to eat at 09;00 (breakfast-zime is 8-10)you have to ask for them and then they are wet because the poor willing volunteers do not even get a kitchen towel. Run by volunteers only. They were all nice

    I typically write glowing feedback for the hostels I stay in, but definitely not for this place! There's no common area. When I asked if there was a place to sit other than in my room, she said I could go to the terrace. I wouldn't call it a terrace. It's just a roof. Not a comfortable place to spend time. Nothing up there, not even a place to sit other than on the ground. She gave me a key to a locker, but the key didn't work. The electric shower knob gives you a shock every time you touch it if you want to adjust the water temperature. I think they must know, because the knob is covered in duct tape, as if they (unsuccessfully) attempted to fix it. I arrived at night. She didn't know I was coming, even though I'd received two messages from the hostel through Booking. The first thing I asked was about transportation to Isla del Sol for the next day. She said it leaves at 8:30 or 9, and returns at 5:30, but didn't sound completely confident. Then she said 9. So I figured I'd have about 6 or 7 hours on the island. She didn't tell me that breakfast is in a different hotel until I asked her where breakfast is. The next morning, there was someone else at reception, so I wanted to confirm that the boat departed at 9am, since the woman the night before didn't seem confident. He said yes. I asked how much it costs, and he said it's 50bs instead of 60bs if I buy the ticket at the hostel, so I bought it there. I asked about transportation to Isla de la Luna. He said the boat goes there first, and stops for an hour before going to Isla del Sol. So, I figured I'd still have about 5 hours on the island. I went to the other hostel where they offer the included breakfast. When I got there, it seemed like they didn't know how many guests were staying at the hostel. It took awhile to get a clean plate. There wasn't coffee in the coffee pot. There were empty serving dishes on the table.

    Nice to sleep in a 3-bed dorm with comfortable beds that aren't bunkbeds. I liked the yogurt and fruit at breakfast.

    Didn't accept credit card even though booking.com, expedia, and their own door says they do. Was messaged about a pancake breakfast, and their door also says they offer an all you can eat pancake breakfast, which was also untrue. The bathroom toilet leaked brown water from the base of it and made the bathroom smell like sewage constantly. Shower never got close to warm even after 15 minutes of waiting. Seemingly owned a dog who was wonderful, but they kept outside overnight in the rain, even though it was wanting in.

    Bed wasn't too bad

    During our wait at the reception we overheard 5 other guests complaining about the bad odor and general dirtiness of the place. At our stay at the other place (Hostal Solistico) we could hardly sleep. The mattresses are awful, the breakfast is a joke and there was no shower curtain and no hot water.

    At arrival we got told that they could not find our reservation. After some time we got taken to a room which did not look at all as the room we had booked. Also that room had no private bathroom and no window 😅 After another 20 minutes at reception they told us they are over booked and offered us a room in their hotel place Hostal Solistico.

    Wild stray dogs are allowed to enter the hotel and hang out/sleep around the luggages. One of them attacked me, in presence of the staff, when I tried to pick up my backpack. Because the hotel refused to help and answer questions about the dogs when the hospital called them, I have to get a daily rabies shot at a hospital (16 injection), despite being vaccinated. After the event, the staff acted as if nothing happened. This habit of letting wild animals sleep around and between the luggages of the travelers (inside the hotel itself) is dangerous. According to neighboring businesses, it isn't the first time a tourist got attacked by a dog in this hotel.

    It was very cold at night. You have to go up a small hill to reach the hostel (nothing too bad, just a bit tiring with the luggage and the altitude)

    The best breakfast we had so far! Big buffet with a huge variety! They also arranged for us the transportation to Isle del Sol at a very good price. The room was spacious and clean. View from the terrace is nice.
