About
Set within a gorgeous restored English-style mansion, this bookstore brings you home. Immense wood shelves are covered in books, and the comfortable lounge chairs and couches beg to be sat on. The selection covers it all: classic to modern literature, poetry, photography and food, graphic novels and essays. Treat yourself to a hot beverage at their coffee shop while you read or chat with friends. As if the books in English and the bilingual librarians weren't enough reasons to visit, they also have cultural programs for children, and adults can listen in as experts discuss literary topics. This is a place to let your creativity and imagination run wild.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

However the frontal description "ΨΥΧΗΣ ΙΑΤΡΕΙΟΝ" denoting healing station for the soul was impressive and touching. An informed with imported books in English (mostly), new and colourful.

I had had a very stressful start to my day and this beautiful place restored my inner calm!

Their range of English language books was fairly small but of high quality. I purchased 9 books in total then relaxed for an hour or so in their excellent coffee lounge.

For anyone who loves books you must visit this excellent bookshop.

Wilborada is a magical hideout in the middle of the chaotic business/financial district in Bogota. We went to story time which was a fun hour on a Saturday with our six year old boy. I could spend hours in the attic of the beautifully renovated house reading the well curated book collection. The coffee on the first floor is delicious and has a great energy to it!

The small English language section is loaded with books you will be happy you've read. And the real bookstore has a magnificent selection in Spanish. The coffee shop looks like the perfect place to sit and read.

Beyond beautiful, quiet, and inviting, this bookstore has the most knowledgeable staff I have ever encountered. I’ve gone in with requests from “I would like other books by this author” to “I would like books from authors like this one” to “I need all the information I can get on this topic from the last five years,” and they inevitably lead me to several excellent suggestions. The only problem has been that I now evaluate other libreros against these folks, which isn’t fair to the others! Wilborada will forever be the yardstick to measure every other bookstore/cafe against. It’s literally worth a trip to Bogotá just to spend an afternoon, or a day here.
