Questions, answered

Message Bidea on WhatsApp at +57 302 521 8306 — the “Reserva Directa” number the house publishes on its Linktree — or email bideahostal@gmail.com. The form on this site writes the message for you with your dates, number of guests and preferred room.

No. There’s no booking engine or live calendar: the form prepares a message and opens it in WhatsApp or your email. The house replies with availability and the rate, and the booking is made when they confirm it.

It depends on the room, the season and where you book. To avoid showing outdated prices this site doesn’t publish rates: ask the house for the rate for your dates.

The house’s listings mention payment in cash; for bookings made there, Booking.com mentions a bank transfer before arrival. Confirm the payment method with the house when you book.

On Hostelworld and Booking.com, each platform’s conditions for your rate apply. If you book direct, agree the terms with the house in writing.

Check-in from 2 pm to 10 pm, check-out by 11 am. Let the house know your arrival time. According to Hostelworld, reception is open 8 am to 11 pm and there’s no curfew.
