Bogota Reports

[Mr Enternational]

The host passed the names to the security, and it checked the name for real. One day, I passed three names. One is real and the other is just the girl first name from SA and the last one is fake. Now I learn my lesson and I will not book any Airbnb as such. This place has other features also get on my nerve and I am thinking giving it a 2 stars review.

Why? So they csn respond and say you tried to bring someone into their property under a fake name? These people are not playing about their shit. They worked hard to be able to have an investment property and if some shit gets fucked up they want to know who was inside. Prime example is the Cartagena incident when that hooker broke the big ass glass table.

You should have complained to airbnb. I complained to my airbnb host and he refunded for the days I had left on my reservation. I did however ask beforehand if visitors were permitted and my host confirmed that they were. I argued that having to write to him for each visitor is not the common understanding of "permitted" and I should have been informed of this procedure beforehand.

The host passed the names to the security, and it checked the name for real.

One day, I passed three names. One is real and the other is just the girl first name from SA and the last one is fake.

I bought the girl with the SA first name, and it turned out she has a completely different name on her cedula.

The security did check and found her name did not match and then the drama begins.

The security called and told her she had to wait at the lobby till the landlord approved her and she only had 20 minutes or else she had to leave the apartment.

This is completely new to me. Unlucky we did not even start the foreplay, but she had limited time, and she would not even want to go to the hotel after that.

It wasted me 20 k mil of uber money and on top of that that girl will not want to see me again and she is cute.

Now I learn my lesson and I will not book any Airbnb as such. This place has other features also get on my nerve and I am thinking giving it a 2 stars review.

Had a nice visit with what I THINK is a newer place. LUX Spa, located around Zona T. Just a short walk south of the Atlantis shopping center. Arrived and was greeted by the front desk staff who spoke a little English. I was already communicating with them earlier in the day using WhatsAp. A line up of maybe 8 girls, who were all quite attractive. My biggest issue is I can never remember the names by the time the introductions are over. I picked Catalina, a traditional Colombia girl beauty in red lingerie. I was led to a massage room and paid for 1 hour at 270 k. Was given a nice massage, with some slippery body to body backsliding. Flipped and had enjoyable covered full service. After that moved to a nice sauna room with her, an exfoliating skin treatment, and shower with assistance. I liked the place, really happy with the location being easy to get to. I will repeat.

I don't want to sound alarmist. But if you are booking a trip this month / next month. You should probably book a hotel or airbnb with an easy cancellation policy. I would assume that most would be easy to refund if there was no electricity. But, if you are here for a few days and then the power is out for 24 hours, I could see it being a hassle to get a refund.

If they end up rationing power. It seems likely it will be similar to how they did the water which is different sections of the city are without it for 24 hours at a time.

This article is saying "we dont think there will be". But figured I would post it here because better safe than sorry.

When I interact with people from other countries (even other English speaking ones), I take care to phrase things maybe a bit differently to avoid unexpected results. For example in this situation with messaging the hosts, here is my script that I have used to avoid all issues with these questions. Even if all the things are not true, I word things in a specific way for my own reasons.

Hello! I am super excited about your airbnb. I am traveling for work and I am exploring different parts of Bogota to consider a longer term rental. I had a few questions. To help me make my booking decision.

1) is xyz available in the kitchen? I like to cook and wanted to know.

2) what type of work chair and power is available at the desk? I can't really understand from the pictures, and I typically work from the Airbnb 2 days per week.

3) What are the rules about guests? I have work friends in Bogota that sometimes will come over for a meeting or I will make dinner for after work. I also have a few friends that will travel from outside Bogota to stay over during the weekend and want to understand any policies..

Thank you for this.

So I'm in Lisbon for a trip and was really looking forward to this. Thanks to everyone here for all the info, I felt I was pretty prepared!

Then after I messaged about 4 different ladies, WhatsApp blocked me for "spam". I panic'd but managed to get a second phone number on my tablet and go ahold of someone. We scheduled a meeting for later this night and everything was set. I messaged at the appointed time to get the address. And WhatsApp blocked me. AGAIN.

I'm at a loss here. How can I get ahold of any ladies without WhatsApp?!.

Ughhh I never wrote this post. What's going on?

[Gabacho]

I had the exact same requirements at my airbnb (Urban bldg behind Exito, San Martin mall). The host explained it was a "recent rule" implemented to "protect visitors" to the country. Apparently, this is due to foreigners getting killed in airbnbs, not hotels where they have this requirement in place. I, obviously, can't comment on the legality or truthfulness but the girl I was with seemed to agree / she understood and provided her ID to me to send to the host. Another girl from shitty Tinder absolutely refused. She would only agree to security writing down her info, no copies or photos. Don't know. She seemed so adamant, even arguing its illegal blah blah blah. Actually made me feel a little uncomfortable. Needless to say, she wasnt allowed to go in and I uber'd her back home (funny, she would give street intersections for uber to drop her off, not an actual address. Interesting!

Jack Taggart had posted a really good script to follow when messaging airbnb hosts to make sure you find a girl friendly airbnb. It was posted here in this same thread like 2 months ago. I used it when I went to Pereira in March and I it worked like a charm. I ended up bringing like 8 different girls up into my apartment while I was there.

My AirBnb host says I have to tell the visitor name and ID before which visits.

So my plan A is just ask the SA girls to go with it and if she is willing and tell the host the info.

Plan be is to find a hourly hotel that is near me.

Cra. 5 #32-39, Santa F, Bogot, Colombia

Lesson learnt:

I need to read all the rules carefully.

And only choose those I can get a full refund the last minute.

If I can get a full refund, I would have canceled this host.

Don't stay in these kinds of places and complain to the owners. I wrote a post about this before. If its truly for the protection of foreigners, the exact same thing can be accomplished by just providing ID at reception of the building. It makes more sense and its easier for everyone. And most buildings already do it that way. The only logical reason why I can see for this policy is that they are trying to cut down on sex tourism. Don't stay at these places. How are you going to go out at night and bring someone home when you have to message the host on airbnb at 2 am in the morning and wait for them to reply. Maybe you'll get to bring her up to your place when your host wakes up at 8 am.

Ahh Lisbon sorry I didn't see that part. Well same shit just not Tigo or claro but whatever sim card you can get locally there in Portugal and do the same.

Just go buy a new Tigo or Claro sim card for like 4 mil and put a cheap prepaid plan on it for 6 mil and slap that into your phone and uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp and use the new phone number to register for WhatsApp. Problem solved.

Only a slightly different note, I met this chic on photoprepagos with a 200 k / HR rate. Set up a time and agreed to meet. She works out of a building on Calle 100 called Tower something but its a really nice high rise. We do our thing and some 15 minutes left. She asked about my background / places where I have been etc. Small chat followed and she's happy to tell me she will leaving Colombia soon to go to Europe for a year. I was like niiiice. A little more details revealed she got an offer to work "legit as a sex worker" in Europe where's she's promised up to 3,000 euros / wk normal 40 hours. What's more is the guy is who is helping will send a ticket + hotel for first few days. She said she already got two friends who left 3 months ago. I am like ok. Interesting. So finally, I asked where she's going. She actually showed me the all the Whatsapp chats she has going w / the guy. Quickly see he's sending her a ticket to travel to Romania. Same guy who "helped" her friends. I just basically told it would be a big mistake IMHO and she probably won't see her 9 yr old son again, prob for many years, if ever. Any thoughts on this. Interestingly, we end up spending over 2 hrs chatting about this stuff, she didn't even want me to leave but I had another appt. She said I don't need to pay her for my session bec she felt like I helped her / gave her extra 50 k and bounced.

Many of the hot girls on SA meet euros in Colombia and then the dude pays for them to go on vacation with them to Paris or Spain and usually works out ok but Romania? Years ago I met a Romanian chick in of all places the Del Rey in CR. Very hot, big naturals. She was a licensed pharmacist we met a few times over the next year or two and in conversation she told me how difficult it was for her to make any amount of money. Either in her job or hooking. The Romanians treat the girls like shit and pay them pennies for sex. She said CR was much better even at 20,000 Colones then anything she could make in Romania. So why would any legit service pay that kind of money to a Colombiana just to get her to Romania and pay her 10 times what the typical Romanian chic could get. I think you gave her good advice and that would be the last time she would ever see her kid.

You were correct in what you told her. Just a sex trafficking / slavery ring. Going to a foreign land where you do not even speak the language. They always get them with greed. 3000 euro per week? Maybe for them, but not for her. In Philippines they try to protect women from this. Immigration checks the shit out of women if they are at the airport trying to leave the country alone. Thailand also does it on those Bahrain flights.
