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...).

TurkeyPiccolo angolo di paradiso nella colorata Getsemani. Hotel pacifico e tranquillo, con staff gentile ed estremamente di aiuto e alla mano. -- Cozy and family run hotel in a great location. Room was spacious and comfortable room with great AC, hammocks and rocking chairs in the homely lounge area. The couple who run this hostel really care. They helped us contact the police when we were unfortunately targeted by a scam on a beach in the outskirts of Cartagena, and their assistance helped us get out of things safe and evade the scam.

We liked everything about the hotel: the location right in Getsemani was perfect, quiet and around the corner all the vibrant activity of the bars and restaurants. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was pretty simpel, but very tasty and the hotel itself was lovely too. The courtyard with all the flowers, trees and charming decorations and our room with high ceiling, antique furnishings and hammock just a dream.

United KingdomThe rooms at the back as you approach from Callejon Las Palmas are above the cafe/bar which is part of the same property on Calle Adeagua, and they can be a bit noisy therefore
On the Edge of the fashionable Getsemani area - so bars and restaurants are just a few steps away, but it's quieter than being on one of the very central streets. Helpful staff - though not all speak English. Good breakfast. Good-sized room in which everything worked satisfactorily

Location, location, location! This lovely hotel is in a perfect location. Within a 10-min walk from the old town in Cartagena, it’s only a 2-min walk from Plaza de la Trinidad in Getsamani, which felt like the fulcrum of evening festivities in the city! Very nice room, with the fan system (which is essential in the heat) working very well. Good breakfast. Would recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Cartagena.

BelgiumSome services were a bit pricy (relative to the low cost of the stay), but yeah, it's Cartagena.
I felt very comfortable at this hotel. The staff are friendly. I even got to know the owner there, and he seemed to be a very nice person. The hotel is within Getsemani (which is one of the city's top attractions) and very close to the walled city of Cartagena and the Castle San Felipe de Barajas. The breakfast is not an open-buffet, but it is rich and enough. The room air-conditioning worked perfect.

Czech RepublicIn the shower, water was getting out of the area, flooding everything around (probably because of the drainage system). During the rain, water was also dropping down in the shower. I would really love to have a bit more diverse breakfast:).
The room turned out to be huge and, basically, a section of the house with beams and no ceiling, huge windows and vintage furniture. You could feel the esthetic of colonial style. Three beds, including a king-size one, are pretty comfy. The wardrobe is huge but makes some sounds which remind it of its age. The bathroom was also super big and clean, recently renovated. The bedding and towels were fresh, and the rest of the fabric was vintage but clean. A lot of space for storage, AC and a safe. The room is located separately from the rest, so it was super calm there. The house has a very beautiful garden, although it was under reparation. Very friendly staff!

United States of AmericaThere were little details were a minor inconvenience. The lack of soap in the bathroom, we were instructed to used the shower gel which meant getting in and out of the shower to wash our hands. Also, there was a construction going on, that even though it didn't start until late in the morning, was loud and a bit annoying during the day.
The hotel location was perfect, away from the noisy streets but still close to everything. The staff was fantastic, very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great.
