PROS:
– The food at Hostel Joshua was great. Both the breakfast (banana crepe+juice) and dinner (falafel wrap) were standouts – bonus points for providing food which was hard to come by anywhere else in Bolivia.
– The hostel was quite tall and up on a hill, so the view from the balcony was beautiful.
– There was a large outdoor common space and a nice dining area as well.
CONS:
– The staff seemed a little clueless when we asked about their tours to the surrounding islands.
– Parts of the hostel were very unkempt, with rooms dedicated to piles of junk.
– The shower and bathroom facilities were pretty lacklustre. The ones I patronised housed a couple of spiders, and the shower head had a tendency to electrocute its user.
BONUS: DON'T DO THE ISLAND TOURS (unless you're crazy about ruins). Hostel Joshua sells tours to these landmarks, but the boat trip is excruciatingly slow and the islands are just not worth it at all. I think most tours do exactly the same thing so it's not Hostel Joshua's problem. Regardless, maybe spend the day exploring the town or climbing up that big hill.

A really nice eco hostel. Amazing vegan and vegetarian food available and a reasonable price (compared to town) a really good breakfast included. The kids that live there are very friendly and enjoy playing in the garden area with you, plus they had 2 cats and a cute puppy. Hot showers with an option to use a composting toilet too. Also close to the beach :)

WORST HOSTEL EVER!

Extremely rude owner, MASTURBATING guests, and faux-eco credentials.

- Firstly, we were never warned of their 10pm curfew. This both prevented us from enjoying Copacabana's wonderful night life, as well as leaving us stranded in a dark secluded alley at midnight.

- After hearing a glass smash, and people rapidly approaching us in the dark, we forced our way through a locked gate into the hostel.

- Our room was a hut isolated from the rest of the hostel; it had no lock mechanism. This made us feel extremely vulnerable when later that night, another guest began to loudly masterbate outside our bedroom door, (his choice of location creepily deliberate).

- As a result of this, we could not sleep.

- We told the owner and requested money off our second night. He responded by shouting and threatening to call the POLICE, before telling us to "chill out man, this stuff happens anywhere" - it definitely doesn't.

- On another note, their veggi food is below average, you can find better veggi options in town (coming from a 20 year vegetarian).

Every bed has a light and a electric output. The food in the restaurant is really nice.
Bathrooms and showers need more cleaning. Got electrocuted by the shower.

Clean with pleasant owners and staff. Cold at night and the newly added rooms lack the character of the main building. Camping spots available.

Great veggie and vegan food options available. Hot (electric) showers.

Is very peaceful and quiet as is away from the hustle and bustle of the busy streets. Is very easy to relax. The buildings and the room are painted very artistically which in my opinion adds to the serenity of the location. The rest room are natural compost. Which I had not yet seen anywhere.

We missed this place twice when we went looking. The position is not quite right on Google maps, you must head about 100yards further east of the junction. Photographs of entrance added.

Great veggie/vegan food

We only found this place because the owner was selling DELICIOUS fresh sandwiches (homemade hummus, falafel sandwiches, wraps etc.)from his cart by the beach. We went to eat at the hostel later in the evening and had a great meal once again! It's all vegan, fresh and home made, so even as non-vegans we enjoyed tasty, healthy food!
