Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesHonestly there isn’t anything that stands out to me as not liking.
The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The courtyard area is inviting and beautiful. My room was clean and comfortable . I liked that I was able to adjust the air conditioning to a temperature that felt comfortable. The shower temperature and pressure were good. Having the pool to enjoy after walking around the Walled City was super nice. As a solo traveler I felt very safe staying there and was within walking distance of The Walled City. The included breakfast was delicious!

IrelandThere was no fridge in the room which meant we couldn't keep anything cold. Breakfast was nice but limited choice compared to elsewhere we have stayed.

Location in Getsemani with loads of bars, restaurants, nearby as well as Plaza de la Trinidad within a couple of minutes walk. Staff very friendly and helpful, especially the day staff. Good value, especially compared with the hotels in the Walled City.

CanadaIf there is a night festival in the nearby town, you can hear it in the room late at night. But that's not the fault of the place. If you want to experience an original colonial and cozy place in Cartagena, this is it.
Good location and acomodation, close enough to walk everywhere in the old part of Cartagena. The room, although basic, was clean, showers and AC included, as well as daily tidying up and fresh towels. Breakfast is simple, but enough, with tasty fresh fruits. The little courtyard with pool and flowers adds a very nice touch to the whole place. Exotic bird sounds are part of the experience as well. The front desk is very friendly and smiling all the time we interacted. She speaks good English and was helpful with ordering a very early morning taxi for the airport. Thank you so much for making our stay in Cartagena a memorable one!

United StatesThe staff was friendly & helpful. We arrived early & they allowed us to leave our bags at the front desk so we didn’t have to carry them around for a couple of hours. The location is great-in Getsemani, but not where it is loud. 5 minute walk to Trinidad & San Filipe. The pools were welcome during the hot afternoon and I highly recommend the rooftop lounge chairs around 4:30/5 in the afternoon!

United StatesBed was a little firm for my taste and the water pressure in the shower was a bit low.
My room was a good size even with the 2 beds in it and the a/c was quiet and efficient. The bed was a little firm firm for my liking, but that's common in Colombia. There's a bedside table and lamp and a central light switch next to the bed. Also a small desk but oddly no chair although one was supplied instantly when I asked. Everything was kept spick and span throughout my stay by the excellent housekeepers. The small pool is perfect for cooling off in the hot afternoons but too small to swim in and there are limited loungers and chairs but it's a pretty spot as are the gardens in the other courtyard. There's also a shady covered area perfect for relaxing with a book or just catching up with emails. Security is good with 24 hour front gate that you had to be buzzed in and out of. Even at odd hours I was buzzed in promptly. The neighborhood seemed very safe to me even late at night. Room keys are kept at reception. Staff were fabulous, especially the young lady who checked me in and who also helped out at breakfast. She was always cheery, unfailingly helpful and always greeted me by name. The other staff were equally lovely. Breakfast was simple but tasty with eggs, juice, cereal, fruit, coffee, etc.

GermanyAbsolutely beautiful little place to stay in the middle of Getsemani, but still very quiet. I loved the entrance with the gorgeous little courtyard, my room was clean and even had a hairdryer and hot water, which is not that common in Cartagena. I appreciated the little hidden seating areas throughout the hotel, so you could always find a quiet spot to relax. The breakfast was yummy and the staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. I would absolutely recommend staying here and I will definitely be back!
