Hostel Bendito

I stayed here almost a week. In general I liked the hostel, it’s very calm and chill, not really social, absolutely loved the neighbourhood, felt very safe Two things are really bad tho. 1. The shower takes AGES to get warm or doesn’t get warm at all. It’s so sad bc you’re waiting and wasting a lot of water… I don’t always shower warm but when you’re sick, which you get in Bogotá’s weather, it’s important. They have a sign that says to save water bc Bogota has a crisis, but also have a sign to let the water run couple of min to get warm… kind of stupid 2. There’s lots of ants in the kitchen, didn’t do anything about it the whole week I was there Also the jazucci doesn’t work which is a bit annoying bc it’s a “plus” the hostel claims it has and looking at other comments it seems like it hasn’t bee working for months One receptionist is very nice and helpful, the others seem very condescending and annoyed

We spent 3 nights at this hostel, and we loved it. Amazing location, very safe. It has a well equipeted kitchen, the staff is very kind. The private room was the cherry on the top. We recommend it!!🇵🇹

Positive was they allowed me an early check in after having not slept well in another place, so I could rest to work afterwards. Facilities are decent, it's clean, thanks to the cleaning lady. Some receptionists are kind and understanding, the other had a very condescending and attitude of not acknowleding my complaint, and it seems like other past guests feel the same considering their negative reviews. Most bothersome was having my room entered at 4 AM at night to ''check the beds'', which is insanity. There are no valid reasons to enter a room and ''check'' the beds, supposedly for ''checking for safety'' or ''checking if no one takes any pillows or blankets'', especially if no one else checked in in that room and I was the only one! You can't fool me like this, it is disturbance of privacy and has no place in a nice-looking establishment as this one. Really disappointed having my privacy and space not respected. Almost forgot: I booked this place in the first place to have a relaxed hottub which they advertise and ''was not functioning''! Not recommended!

This place makes no sense. Its an all dorm hostel with 40 beds, and a sizeable kitchen in which they provide ZERO room for food sorage. I'm not even embellishing, there is not a single shelf or table or cabinet for guests food, in a 40 bed hostel....|The bunk beds are newer and nicer but not nailed to the wall, so when one person moves, the other 3 beds are all moving dramatically with that person. |Theres pictures of outdoor space, with a hammock, which does no exist in real life. |If they branded themselves like they were a bare bones hostel that would be fine, but they don’t, I was expcting more.

I had the best experience at this hostel! First off, the cleanliness was impeccable—everything from the rooms to the bathrooms was spotless, which made my stay super comfortable. Speaking of comfort, the beds were surprisingly cozy, and the atmosphere was so chill, I felt right at home. The location couldn’t be better—just minutes from Parkway, easy to get to the main attractions, restaurants, and transport options. Perfect for exploring the city! But what really made my stay special was the staff, especially Milena and Naray. They were incredibly friendly, always up for a chat, and beyond helpful with recommendations and anything I needed during my stay. Their hospitality really made a difference in making me feel at home. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable place with a great location and staff that goes above and beyond, this is the place to be! Can't recommend it enough and will use it as a base whenever I pass through! :)

Very clean rooms and comfortable, good location, safe to walk around

Good, clean, calm. Not much of a social vibe, however the rooms are clean and nice. There is a generator running all night nearby so it’s a bit noisy at night and the location, although very pretty, isn’t near the main attractions in Bogota. Overall I’d say it’s a convenient place if you have places nearby you want to visit but for the usual tourist stop in bogota it’s not the best. The crowd is a towards the 30s-40s range or late 20s rather than the usual 20s backpackers. I was here with my partner a while ago and we had a great time, but not really because of the vibes or the people. There’s a shared kitchen with good appliances and basic stuff, a small fridge. The house is beautiful in itself

Overall a very average stay. It was the first hostel my friend and I booked after arriving in Colombia so we decided to take a private room to acclimatise a little. The room was very average, it contained a bed, one chair, one night stand and one coat hanger. The lights in the room are super bright. The common space downstairs was also very boring and has no atmosphere at all. The bathrooms are ill equipped: they're shared so the best thing would be to change inside the cubicle, but the cubicles are so small that that's impossible. No space to shortly stash your toiletries. The automatic lights are super sensitive and super bright. Overall not a place of recommendation
