Robert United States of America

In our 6 months travels in south America this Hotel is one of our favorites! Really friendly and helpful staff and owners. It is super clean, beds are comfortable, breakfast is the best so far! Pancakes, fresh bread, fresh orange juice, eggs, fruit... Amazing. We really enjoyed our stay here. We are coming back for sure!

The whole experience was exceptional. Juan and his family run the most wonderful hostel in La Paz. Everything is spotless, the breakfast is wonderful and their helpfulness exceeds many of the places we've stayed at. By far the highlight of our trip to Bolivia!

Sandani United Kingdom

Despite being near some busy roads, good soundproofing means it’s a really peaceful and quiet place where we felt right at home. Super helpful and friendly hosts also.

We loved our stay at hostal Bivouac. Our room was so cozy and chic and the house itself is very warm,beautiful and welcoming. Breakfast was very good and rich and there was full of choice. Location was also very good because it's situated in a quiet area, but still closed to the city centre. The best of all is Juan, the owner, who gave us many useful information and advices and his cute dog Lucy. We really felt at home away from our home! Thanks for everything! Big hug!

The host went out of his way to ensure I enjoy my stay. I don't think you would ever get this kind of treatment in a hotel. Location was good (less than 10 min from main square). Facilities were great and despite being next to a busy road, the room was quiet. I would definitly stay there again.

Marek United Kingdom

Amazing service. Very kind and attentive host, I highly recommend staying here.
