Bolivia Star Rated Hotels

Bolivian accommodations are among South America’s cheapest, though price and value are hardly uniform. Be aware that with the exception of the international hotel chains, the star ratings for hotels are not based on the recognized international rating system.

The Bolivian hotel-rating system divides accommodations into posadas (inns), alojamientos (basic accommodations), residenciales (simple accommodations), casas de huéspedes (family-run guesthouses), hostales (hostels) and hoteles (hotels). This subjective zero- to five-star rating system reflects the price scale and, to some extent, the quality. (Note that hostales are not necessarily hostels as you might normally think; some are in fact upmarket hotels.) Rock-bottom places are usually found around the bus and train stations, though this area is often the most dangerous in town.

Prices in this book reflect high-season rates (late May to early September). Room availability is only a problem at popular weekend getaways like Coroico and during fiestas (especially Carnaval in Oruro and festivals in Copacabana), when prices double.

In the Altiplano, heat and hot water often makes the difference in price, while in lowland areas, air-con and fans are common delimiters.

The sleeping sections in this book are organized by author preference. Always ask to see a couple of rooms before committing, keep your valuables in a safe when available and check the sheets for bedbugs by searching for their feces beneath pillows. You can sometime negotiate the room price in cheaper places.

Warning: several readers have alerted us to improper use of propane heaters in Bolivia. These are sometimes offered in cheaper accommodations but are not meant to be used in enclosed spaces so refrain from using them if supplied.
