Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaNothing to critique about the property.
Very pretty architecture and all of the employees were top notch. Our room was tight, but very well thought out—making good use of the space. The breakfast is not great, but Dina was a sweetheart and offered prompt service. The location is wonderful, and our room overlooked the plaza which was full of life. Fortunately, the windows to the balcony have three layers to block out sounds. We slept well. I highly recommend Mistura Cartagena just a few doors down for a nice meal and live music. Also: have your shield up because the street vendors are aggressive.

United States of AmericaThe restaurants nearby are fine but service could be better. Of course, this has nothing to do with Casa La Fe, but I say it because when one goes to a boutique hotel there are plenty of factors that can impact one's stay. Just some feedback so they can tell their neighbors to up their game.
I have been staying at Casa La Fe for nearly 20 years. It had been a while (6 years at least) since the last time I went to Cartagena. When the staff saw me they greeted me! They remembered me clearly to the point some of them took pictures with me (I would like to get a copy of the pictures, by the way). Staff was great as usual. Location is unbeatable. The Fernandez Madrid Park still has special touch that makes it different from other not-so-nice parks in the historic part of town.

United States of AmericaStairs. If you cannot climb 4 flights of stairs, you won’t make it to the rooftop.
The biggest highlight was the staff. They treated us like family and made the entire trip great. From the moment we arrived William, at the from desk, went above and beyond to take care of us from recommendations for lunch to telling us all about Colombia. The hotel is beautiful. The internal patio with its water fountain and green wall is very peaceful. We stayed in a big room for three people and it was spacious and comfortable. The morning breakfast is phenomenal. They have a menu of 5+ dishes where you can choose from. Dina went above and beyond to make breakfast a wonderful experience. Her daily special juices made fresh from local fruits were fantastic. The rooftop bar and pool were beautiful. Aris made some great drinks for us and his company was a plus. The location is great. We walked everywhere and the hotel was always in the center. We highly recommend Casa La Fe.

United States of AmericaExpensive
This hotel is well located in Old Town Center, best of all it’s quiet in an otherwise busy crowded noisy area. The staff is helpful and generally in good spirits. The breakfast is boring but ok. The room is tiny, shower, water pressure all good. The problem I have with the place is that it is way too expensive @ USD 160/night.

United States of AmericaThe only thing we did not like as much was how many in-your-face street vendors there were outside the property; it gave the feeling of a busy central market, fairly intrusive.
We liked the staff the most, they were very kind and helpful, always with a smile. They helped us plan a trip to the National aviary and helped us feel always safe. The place is a lovely old house typical of the walled city. With its central location we found several great restaurants and bars close by.

The breakfast was very adequate and the staff extremely friendly and accommodating, especially Dina. Dennis was also and fountain of knowledge and very helpful. Ariz was wonderful as the bartender. I would go back and stay here in a heartbeat.

United States of AmericaEverything was great. Travelers should be aware pool is not very big but we were not there for the pool, great to sit and relax for a bit but not for swimming.
Excellent location, beautiful interior - like walking into a little oasis as you enter the courtyard with lush plants growing up the wall. Comfortable rooms, good ac. Friendly and patient staff - very helpful in arranging transportation (long car rides to Tayrona and Minca -for 2 different groups) - even on Christmas Day! Breakfast was also excellent - really enjoyed the lite/healthy options.
