Reviews of Botanico Hostel

They even had a bbq! Nice people, good breakfast and real hostel vibe in the middle of nice restaurants.

Beautiful place, and very well organized.

Very comfortable beds with extra thick blankets, perfect for cold Bogota nights. Lots of comfortable and cozy corners to relax and socialise in, including a beautiful terrace on the top level. Friendly and helpful staff.

The kitchen was relatively small.

Great little hostel in a perfect location. The staff are helpful and jolly, and the atmosphere is very social.

Nice staff and an awesome place in the historic part of Bogota Small hideout with a great sunset

The vibe was super good. With superb atmosphere during nights

Rooms could be a bit cleaner

Hostel is like the pictures, beds are comfy (and quite big for a single bed), bathrooms are shared and they were kept clean. Yoga in the morning was fab and the breakfast was ok for the price

There aren’t loads of bathrooms so sometimes I had to wait for one and the shower wasn’t always warm

The chill social nature of the hostel

Everything was just wonderful! Would come back anytime - lovely and super nice and relaxing with excellent breakfast!

Nothing :)

Fantastic location, very nice personal, love the overall style!

Music can be a bit noisy, but it ended in a sensible time

A smaller hostel that makes it more friendly and cozy. Very comfortable beds with real duvets.

Only downside was that the doorbell stopped working and I didn't get any information about it. So it was a gamble coming back late at night.

Nice roof terrace, good location, the yoga classes were amazing, and social atmosphere

This is an old house and it shows: barely any working plugs to charge devices, old rooms, tiny kitchen, and the hostel is not managed effectively: the bathrooms are cleaned in the morning (which is when people use them), the laundry has a turnover of more than 24h etc...

There’s a nice garden

Wouldn’t stay here again, I’m sure it has its nice moments. I’m sure there are nice staff sometimes. There are probably nice parties and sure the place has a pretty garden. But from the moment I walked in here, it started off on a bad foot. I walked up to the front desk to greet them and introduce myself, was rudely told to back away because there were other guests. Okay, no problem, I go and sit down. They have a really long check in process I guess because I waited another 20 mins. When I first started, I told them I didn’t have any questions, don’t worry about giving me the speech. After signing all the documents, I asked what the room number was and was told “I’m getting there!!” Once again, very rude. I was very polite in response and told them good night. Took a shower, went to sleep. The next morning I was woken up, told I had to check out. So I packed all of my stuff in ten minutes and took it out of the room. My shoes that I had placed outside the door had been moved so, I asked the staff if they’d seen my shoes. She starts panicking looking everywhere (lost and found, making phone calls, etc). Someone had moved them to a different room. She yelled at me and told me “you have to look!!” Now I had a really good attitude all up until this point, and said “where was I to look? You have had a really bad attitude since the moment I got here!” Tell me, booking.com review reader, where was I supposed to look if even she didn’t know where to look. Someone ELSE moved my stuff and I was being polite by leaving my shoes outside the door at night as to not make the dormitory smell like day worn shoes as one does. Anyways, that’s my story. Was here for 12 hours and didn’t like it one bit. Remember ladies, this is hospitality. A little attitude adjustment would do you well and take you far. This sure as heck ain’t no five star hotel for y’all to be actin’ like you’re queens in a castle and I’m at the front gate begging for bread.

Good Location and cozy environment

Great location, beautiful terrace with view over Bogotá

Facilities looked a bit used

Great people, yoga in the morning, salsa lesson, good vibes.

They started painting the room next door overnight (??) which made our room smell very strongly like petrol. They moved us to another room though for our last night which was a huge relief.
