isabel the staff in the morning made everything just work and is absolutely great! Unfortunately the rooms are very cold and the breakfast is just very basic and extras come with a cost... However, the beds and duvets were great. More

The staff is wonderful and the beds are comfortable. The showers have gas heat and thus are as hot as you want them, useful in the cool climate of La Paz. The location is good - near the bus station and the central downtown area. It's a calm, relaxing place, complete with hot tub, ping pong table, and pool table. More

i research my accommodation carefully so its unusual when I conclude i would not stay somewhere again. I can't recommend the Bacco. Pros: the coffee was good, and the location is reasonably central. Cons: Our room ('the three musketeers') was damp and had a strong musty smell. The room was very basic, just beds, nothing else. The room had a... More

The reception staff were absolutely great and the cleaning staff who did a great job keeping the toilets and shower areas clean, as well as the rest of the hostel. The showers were scalding hot which was so pleasant after some less so. The beds were huge and so comfy with extra blankets provided should you need one. Breakfast was... More

Hostel Bacoo has good location. It is within walking distance to the bus station and city center. It can be said that the hotel is three different buildings. The reception/admin building, the bar/kitchen/common area building and the large U-shaped building with dorms and private rooms. In the middle there is very pleasant courtyard with trees, tables and hammocks. I found... More

Bacoo is fine if you don't give a ****! What initially seemed like a perfectly reasonable inexpensive hostel was ruined by the daily battle to get hot water..the Internet fixed and to get the rooms cleaned. The promise of constant hot water is a blatant lie.Timing is everything! Most days nada..freezing! Staff will tell you anything but the truth! More
