The hostel itself was clean and well equiped but the location was not good. We also found the place expensive compared to the usual bolivian prices. After 3 nights we moved to another hotel in the centre of Santa Cruz and had a much better time with shops, bars and restaurants on our doorstep.

This Hosteling International Hostel is classy. It as a great (cold) pool and spa. They have a big pool table. Nice open area for guests both inside and out. It is extremely clean. Kitchen is clean and large and the best equipped one to date. Staff are friendly and helpful. My only comment is it was a expensive for such... More

We stayed here in april 2013 for a couple of nights. We stayed in a room with a doublebed for 190 bolivianos per night. That was with a shared bathroom which to be fair in bolivia is the most expensive price i have come across. The room was small and came with a fan to recirculate the hot air. The... More

With $13 a night one of the most expensive hostels in Santa Cruz.

We stayed here in November 2010 (family of 3) and were pleasantly surprised at the high quality of the place. This is definitely one for the more well of traveller. We would recommend it for anyone traveling with young children. Tripadvisor site made me pick a travel date, please ignore

Good things first: Its a clean place, they have wifi, there is a nice pool, the computers are free to use, there is a tv-room with a load of dvds available. BUT this is not a 'backpacker'-place as you know it...: * its totally overpriced! You pay 80 Bolivianos for a night in a dorm * the offered barbecue is... More

A hostel incredibly geared up for Backpackers. Pool, book exchange, big kitchen to cook in, bar, tours and LOTS of information on what to do around Santa Cruz, where to eat etc. We stayed in a private room across from the main building. The rooms were very clean, and ours contained a fan. The toilet was ok, smelt a little... More

In rating of hostels of Santa Cruz "Jodanga Backpackers Hostel" occupies second place. Difficult to say why. Spacious clean hostel with good service, friendly staff, breakfasts with fruits, stylish design, presence of pool - it´s rare thing in one place. But such perfectness is not complete. From "Jodanga Backpackers Hostel" it is too far to the city center, its main... More
