Accommodation in Bolivia

Accommodation in Bolivia isn't one-size-fits-all. You can crash in a buzzy hostel near Calle Jaén in Sucre, relax in a family-run guesthouse with killer mountain views in the Cordillera Real, or splurge a bit in a chic boutique hotel in La Paz’s Sopocachi neighborhood.

Be ready for quirky surprises: many places don’t have hot water or strong Wi-Fi, but they make up for it with character and genuine hospitality. In the Salar de Uyuni region, for example, salt hotels made almost entirely of salt blocks are an experience on their own, even if you sacrifice a little comfort.

If you’re heading to Lake Titicaca, homes around Copacabana often rent out rooms where you wake up to the calm breeze off the water. I’d recommend booking in advance during July and August, Bolivia’s dry season, since it gets busy. And a little tip from me: try asking locals for family-run places; they're often cheaper and way cozier than big hotels. Bolivia’s a patchwork of options,you’ll find something that fits your vibe, no matter where you stop.
