Visited Bogota for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $112/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 8.5/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $109/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: avoid weekends.
