Guest Reviews

• Roxana (8/5): - La ubicación y la zona por la mañana muy colorida y tranquila El primer día hubo una bulla intensa creo q era una celebración,luego los demás días si podíamos descansar normal.solo un temita q en mi cuarto del 2 do piso el lavadero siempre salía poquitisima agua y era un poco desesperante ,y no encontré tetera para hervir agua y tenía q hacerlo en el microondas luego lo demás todo bien.fueron amables
• Neda Flora (4/5): - A acomodação estava limpa e organizada, e está bem centralizada no bairro Getsemaní. A acomodação que fiquei era um quarto ao lado da cozinha e área de serviço, não tinha janela/ventilação natural, por conta disso todos os sons de movimentação na cozinha e conversas ficavam bem evidentes, incluindo à noite. É realmente somente quarto e banheiro. O quarto é pequeno e fica apertado para duas pessoas, o ideal seria para uma pessoa mesmo. Fora isso, precisei fazer check out antes do final da estadia e foi uma novela só porque a dona não estava e a pessoa que fica responsável por receber as pessoas (inclusive colocam o número dela aqui no booking) enrolou horrores para passar o contato da responsável, inclusive ligou para ela na minha frente, mas não me passou o contato. Sério, não se consegue comunicação direta com a dona se ela não estiver no local, inclusive saí da hospedagem e ninguém fez contato comigo para nada…
• Johanna (7/5): Ventilación - Sin duda la ubicación y los anfitriones fueron relajados con el acceso a la misma No tiene ventanas así que no hay ventilación natural. El control no tenía pilas. Las almohadas son incómodas. Vimos una cuchara pequeña en el baño.
• Perez velez (10/5): -
• Leitinger (8/5): -
• Dini (5/5): - La casa y la habitación son muy bonitas; es un espacio individual dentro de una casa agradable, lo cual fue un punto positivo. Sin embargo, la experiencia con los tiempos y la información fue inconsistente. En la publicación se indica que el check-in es a las 3:30 p. m., pero la persona de aseo nos pidió desocupar al mediodía. Nuestro vuelo salía en la noche, así que preguntamos por la opción de dejar las maletas. Inicialmente, una persona encargada nos dijo que no tenía costo. Luego, al consultar por Booking, la dueña indicó que sí debía pagarse y que lo coordináramos con la señora del aseo. Ella nos informó que podíamos recoger las maletas hasta las 6:00 p. m. por un costo de $25.000, lo cual aceptamos y pagamos. Llegamos puntualmente (incluso unos minutos antes de las 6:00 p. m.), pero más temprano nos habían enviado un mensaje cambiando las condiciones: que el horario era hasta las 5:00 p. m. y que debíamos pagar $10.000 adicionales. Esta contradicción en la información y el cobro extra no fueron claros ni justos. Además, la actitud al final fue poco amable, lo que afectó la experiencia general.
• Huimin (8/5): Casa Pachita is the perfect Cartagena base — great location, warm hosts, and an energy that pulls yo - We stayed here three separate times throughout our trip and kept coming back for a reason. The owner is very responsive, and his father and Señora Erika are always there to welcome you warmly. The vibe is pure Getsemaní magic — we arrived at midnight on our first night and the music and dancing were still going strong, the kind of energy that just makes you feel alive. The location is perfect: a short walk to the fort, the beach, street food, and vendors. And after days of roughing it in the jungle and mountains, coming back to a strong AC and a warm shower felt like pure luxury. Nothing significant to mention — it delivered exactly what Getsemaní promises. Not a luxury place - do not over anticipate.
• Velasquez Fornaris (10/5): - Las instalaciones y es un lugar muy limpio
• Natalia (9/5): - Me gusto lo céntrico del lugar Todo perfecto !
• rocioaries5 (4/5): Estancia agridulce - La ubicación era inmejorable La habitacion es muy pequeña. No hah espacio para dejar las maletas abiertas y si lo haces tienes que pasar saltando entre ellas. Estuvimos un día entero sin agua por obras. Eso lo entendemos. A la noche siguiente, de madrugada se inundó el baño y la habitación, se nos mojaron las maletas con lo que llevábamos dentro. La cama era incómodisima, nos despertabamos cada dos por tres. Y fue meterse en esa cama y levantarnos llenos de ronchas. Y cada día teníamos más. La ubicación está genial pero hay mucho ruido hasta las 2 de la mañana por los bares que se ponen en la propia puerta de la casa y suena como si estuviera dentro de ella. A pesar de empatizar con la dueña por lo ocurrido con el corte del agua y la inundación, sabía que nuestro vuelo salía de noche e íbamos a estar todo el día allí. Le pedimos dejar las maletas en la casa y nos quiso cobrar una tasa variable en función de las horas que las dejásemos. No fue capaz de ofrecernos dejarlas gratuitamente cuando tiene espacio de sobra fuera de la habitación, para guardarlas. Ademas nos cobraron 60mil pesos por dos lavar dos coladas de ropa de la cual, la colada de ropa oscura o de color parte se echo a perder por tener manchas de lejía... quizas sea nuestra experiencia pero no lo recomiendo.
• ISABEL (5/5): Não voltaria, mas a localização agradou. - Localização muito boa para quem quer ficar no meio da festa, privacidade no quarto, cozinha bem equipada, internet estável, o quarto estava limpo. O quarto tinha cheiro de frango frito, por conta do bar ao lado, e só tinha cortina em uma das janelas. Quem estava lá não era a proprietária mas sim o pai dela que foi grosseiro conosco em algumas situações desnecessárias. Se procura um hostel não é o lugar.
• JOSE ALFREDO (8/5): Buenas estancia por corto tiempo - Está muy bien ubicado Había solicitado camas separadas y me dieron una matrimonial para mi y mi mamá No hay jabón ni shampoo en el baño
• Edu (8/5): -
• Rosa (4/5): No volveria - La ubicación y la atención de quien nos recibió. Solo trabaja una persona en toda la instalación, no otorgan shampoo ni toalla de mano, no hay extractor en el baño y el olor a humedad es fuerte.
• Fiona (7/5): - The location is excellent and the staff are helpful. Our plane got in early and we were able to pay extra to sleep after a long journey The shared bathroom and one of the bunk beds had plastic on it so it was noisy and uncomfortable when trying to sleep.
• Herrera Gil (9/5): - Muy ordenado y excelente relación calidad precio.
• Joel (8/5): -
• Henrique (10/5): Ótima acomodação - A responsável foi muito educada e nos recebeu bem. O local é muito movimentado portanto barulho é normal, é Cartagena :D porém não nos incomodamos para dormir, inclusive a cama é muito confortável e tinha ar condicionado (este salvou os dias após retornarmos ao quarto pois a cidade é bem abafada e quente). Não sentimos falta de água quente pois não precisou devido ao clima, mas a água do chuveiro é agradável. Tem duas sacadas com vistas muito bonitas da cidade e da rua movimentada. Em geral recomendo bastante a acomodação, região com vários restaurantes e próximo a região histórica da cidade, nos locomovemos por Uber facilmente. O filme do vidro da porta é um pouco fraco o que expunha o quarto com luzes acesas/luz do sol, mas ninguém bateu em nossa porta.
• Paola (10/5): Muy buena - La ubicación. Todo bien, tuve 4 noches, creo que debieron cambiar sábanas y toallas una vez, aún así todo es muy limpio y aun que esta céntrico no se escucha ruidos.
• Bohorquez Tarquino (9/5): -
• Bruno Mauro (9/5): - Excelente ubicación , personal atento, limpieza de las instalaciones, le faltarían algunos pequeños detalles, pero en general todo muy bien Todo muy bien
• sandra (7/5): - La amabilidad del personal La ubicación es positiva y negativa a la vez. Es positiva porque estas en pleno corazón de Getsemaní pero es negativa porque en la calle hay tanto ambiente que te vas a dormir como si estuvieses dentro de una discoteca. Se escuchaba mucho la música y había jaleo hasta por lo menos las 4 de la mañana.
• Sofía Del Carmen (10/5): - Casa Pachita está muy bien ubicado, la comodidad del lugar es excelente, muy amables quienes nos atendieron
• Ibañez (10/5): -
• Benjamin (7/5): - -central -chambre spacieuse -chambre non isolée, donc bruit de la rue très tard
• Alejandro (8/5): - La ubicación es muy buena, si se escucha algo de ruido a las noches pero no molesta para dormir, todo aseado, las personas muy atentas y te dan soluciones a todo, relación calidad-precio muy bien. Todo muy bien
• Ian (5/5): Misleading payment info and noisy stay - AC worked well. We stayed at Casa Pachita in Cartagena, and unfortunately, it was not a great experience. The booking.com listing says card payments are accepted, but when we arrived late at night, the owner insisted on cash only, which was incredibly frustrating after a long travel day. After some back and forth, she eventually showed up with a payment machine — proving that card payments are possible. To top it off, there's a sign on the table in her living room clearly stating she accepts credit and debit cards, which made the whole situation feel even more ironic and misleading. As for the stay itself, it was extremely noisy — you’ll be lucky to get any proper sleep.
• Maria (9/5): Superb -
• Cynthia (10/5): Outstanding! Gracias Casa Pachita! - Everything was perfect. Johanna, the owner speaks English and is very kind and helpful. Two balconies on both sides of room offer funky & great street life views. We don’t mind the noise. We’re in Colombia!
• Gertjan (6/5): Pleasant - The bathroom is good. The location is very nice near to the centre. Do not expect a warm welcome. Its all about money it seems. First question is about payment. The boss comes when money is involved. Rest is handled by subordinate. Communication between boss and subordinate is not good: we were yelled at by the subordinate because she thought we did not leave on time (boss had not communicated our extra day). Some things are broken or dirty (see pictures)
• Madeleine (7/5): We appreciated the property’s location during the day but found it very difficult to sleep during the night due to all t - Our room had a lovely balcony that overlooks the bay. It was nice to sit there when the sun went down. The bed was very comfortable. Erica and Yunis were both very helpful. Good restaurants close by. It was extremely noisy. The bars along the street played loud music 6 nights out of 7, sometimes all night long. People outside talk very loudly too and voices carry. The Casa has no soundproofing.
• Swalter (9/5): Highly recommended! - The house was very nice. Its a house, not an apartment building, so it feels very homely. It has a nice front balcony with a view of the street and a nice rear balcony with a view of the sea and the city towers. There are several bars right outside your door (open at 5pm). The owner of the house is a very nice man who speaks English. The ac works very well. The house is only a few minutes away from Plaza Trinidad and several stores and restaurants. There was an electrical issue on the street and they had to make repairs outside. So a few houses, including this one, were without electricity for several hours. It was very uncomfortable without the ac for those hours. So I left the house until it was fixed. But it was not the fault of the house. And the owner said it doesn’t happen often. Just figured I’d mention it. Besides that i had a very nice stay and recommend Casa Pachita!
• Jan (9/5): Best location. - The location was cool, a lot of nightlife just a few meters far from the front doors.
• Ramil (7/5): Good - Location is just great. It is in old town. People living there know each other. A lot tourist passes during the day and night. The is a music until 2pm. Because of restaurants in the street
• James (10/5): Exceptional -
• Everett (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was excellent. The room was very spacious and it had 2 balconies. It is located on a vibrant street with some noise at night but that didn't bother me.
• David (9/5): Large and very private room in a lively but quiet (for Getsemani) location - This room is expansive and occupies the entire top floor of the property. The bathroom is enormous, we loved the two balconies, which were perfect for relaxing in the morning and at night, and for people watching. Getsemani is quite lively, so you have to expect there will be some noise. We found it quiet in the mornings and at night we had no problems sleeping - most of the noise died down by 11pm and was masked out by the fan of the A/C. The hosts were very nice and responsive. We would recommend and definitely would stay again. Would be nice to have the option for breakfast and coffee.
• Alexander (10/5): Exceptional - The host was very friendly and accommodating. They allowed us to leave our luggage there after our checkout while we explored the city prior to our flight.
• Paul (9/5): Superb - Great location on the edge of the bustling Getsemani district. Plenty of bars and restaurants within walking distance.
• John (9/5): Superb - Amazing location in heart of Getsemaní. We stayed in the suite and space is enormous - balcony on either side of the room. Fortunately we are heavy sleepers, but as others have said, loud music on streets directly below until the early hours.
• Marcin (9/5): Superb - Terrace and great location. Water pressure was quite low but acceptable taking into account that it's an old building.
• Mary (8/5): Very nice place - Great location and staff and owner It was noisy on the weekends in the street
• Gary (3/5): A bygone gem no longer up to standard - This is a lovely place located in lovely old Getsemenai. The street on which it is located is slowly adding to the adjoining streets in providing bar facilities. Some are not up to catering for meals as yet and their attempts are expensive and unimpressive. Check the surrounding streets. The facilities in the common area are exquisitive but unusable. Air conditioning was confined to the rooms only. Walk out of your room and there is no air-conditioning at all. Thus the facilities in the common area are seldom used. It is just too uncomfortable. There seems to be a night manager. He would leave the front door and window open which allows the street sound to permeate the building and the rooms. As the street outside is being developed this will get worse. In addition it appears that seating facilities for a local bar are now at the front window. Not a wise move. The large fan to circulate the air in the common area was only ever turned on by me. No other staff were ever apparent or visible.
• Justyna (7/5): Nice for the price. - Comfortable room. Very clean. AC. No window. Loud from the street (but we didn’t mind - you just have to expect that in Getsemani). Only one bathroom for the whole facility.
• Liz (9/5): Superb - The property is located in the heart of Getsemani. It was really easy the find and Yuni was very easy to get hold off if you needed anything. Being in the heart of Getsamini then it can be loud at night but we knew this when booking, we always carry earplugs so it wasn’t a problem for us and we liked being in the hussle and bustle of this area. Our room had no natural light, which wasn’t a problem for a short stay but just something to be aware of. Yuni was very accommodating and let us check in early as we arrived before check in
• Ann-sophie (8/5): Very good - Decent room with good airconditioning in very comfy apartment, great host and really convenient location to explore old town in Cartagena but quite a noisy area so not recommend for light sleepers
• Steven (8/5): Was a great time staying at Casa Pachita. - Location was great. Bedroom had great air conditioning. Manuel the host spoke English and was a great help with having a comfortable stay. Super clean also. It didn’t worry me too much, but being a popular area, it’s like a party outside, but I slept fine.
• García-consuegra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (10/5): Comfortable guest house in trendy Getsemani - This is a charming guest house located in the trendy Getsemani district of Cartagena. There are many excellent amenities within short walking distance including fine restaurants and bars. My room was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed. The bathroom had a walk in shower along with closet space for your clothing. The air conditioning was efficient and the TV had many channels available to watch. Staff/owners of the guest house were all courteous and professional. The wifi connection was good and guests are able to use the kitchen facilities on the main floor. All in all this was a pleasant stay that was reasonably priced in a very vibrant city.
• Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (10/5): perfect location, perfect guest rules, really safe, and close to the MOST ACTION while staying quiet! - THIS WAS THE MOST PERFECT SPOT IVE EVER BOOKED IN THE LATIN AMERICAN AREA! literally two steps out and I had a beer and food after a long nap! there was nothing that I didn’t like…maybe just the long way up the steps but that all goes away when you get to the top!!
• Ruben (6/5): Pleasant - Location was great. Space in the room Loud party on the street until long hours. They use big speakers under your window :( No warm water
• Ben (9/5): Amazing location - Amazing location in Getsemeni - much better than staying in the old town itself Nice room and efficient check in Comfortable room It was REALLY loud at night, although it was a Friday night I was by myself but if there were two people the bed would have been small
• Mona (9/5): Superb - Loved our stay. Felt homey at the place. Nice kitchen, awesome location. Was a bit noisy at times, but didn’t bother us.
• Alexis (8/5): Very good -
• Mcdee18 (8/5): Very good - Very friendly and great location for old town Getsemani. Loud at night, but expected. Only accepted cash
• Gabfab (9/5): Superb - Loved the location. The room we had had two balconies. The back balcony was the quieter of the two. The front one had all the action. It was great watching all the action from there.
• Nancy (9/5): Great! - Great location. and wonderful owner who was very informative. Fab room with two balconies- one HUGE and sunny! i enjoyed the entire floor ane felt very safe. Wonderful neighborhood full of great places to dine. The noise continued until quite tardy, but I believe that it was a weekend. Great location, (so not too secluded) but great big, bright space with two fabulous balconies- one in front, and a huge, sunny one in back. I had the entire floor.
• Michael (9/5): Superb -
• Matic (6/5): Pleasant - Location is great (can get a bit loud at night, but it is OK). Room has an AC Could be cleaner - the bed sheets were dirty (they were probablly washed, but they are old and with stains). We had few small ants in the room which was not great.
• Werner (9/5): Perfect located and very nice room - Location, kitchen and bed
• Julian (5/5): Passable - Location was perfect during the day. Nice and clean rooms. Unfortunately there is a bar that sets up next door on the street at night....till 2-3am in the morning. Perfect if u want to party I guess but we did not. Not the accommodations fault though just something to be aware of.
• Richard (9/5): Superb -
• Chikyoung (10/5): Exceptional - I stayed in the sweet room for 5 nights. The two balconies are lovely and the bed is so big that I slept comfortably! The location is close to everywhere and very safe until late at night. One thing I worried about was cold shower but the water is not too cold. It's quite warm so I had a nice warm shower every day. WIFI is very fast and the air conditioner works perfectly. The communication with the owner was easy. He/She can speak English perfectly and always replied quickly. I have nothing to complain! Highly recommend here!! None
• Ayush (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Getsimani. - The Place was extremely Clean and the Owner of the place was very helpful. Everything was Perfect
• Jose (7/5): Good -
• Sophia (10/5): perfect stay - absolutely perfect! we stayed 8 nights in the apartment in the upper level with two balkonies and is was soooo nice! we can recommend it! no problems with water or communication.
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional -
• Florian (8/5): all in all very good! - the location was great! the staff was unfriendly… but the owner was very friendly
• Sophie (3/5): Please read the negative reviews carefully before booking! - -after our negative check-in experience and exploring the room, we decided we didn't want to stay at Casa Pachita. We agreed to stay for the first night and the manager luckily easily agreed to cancel our remaining stay without complications - Fast WiFi and tv - Central location in Getsmani (this means if you're looking for a sleepless night, you're at the right place) 1. Check-in procedure was a disaster. After a 12 hour travel we arrived heavily packed at a closed door. We knocked, had no WiFi so we didn't know what to do. Luckily a friendly neighbour let us wait in their living room and gave us a Wifi code so we could contact Booking. After 20 minutes a contact person arrived and let us in (we still don't know who she was as she was not the general manager). Not even a genuine apology. 2. Even if the room was in the back, it was extremely noisy at night. 3. It felt like a lot of people were walking in and out at night, we didn't feel comfortable. 4. When we opened the curtains, we had an ugly view on aircos, washing machines, a dirty patio. 5. No little details as hangers to hang our towels on, there was not even a towel to dry our hands, hand soap was empty (in corona times!) , only 1 roll of toilet paper, only an old block of soap to shower.. 6. Towels and sheets didn't smell fresh 7. See pictures : bed was broken, dirty walls... It is not a hotel, but a dodgy house!! It was really the bare minimum, extremely basic but not in a good way. It really didn't justify the price. !! Take the negative reviews seriously, I regret not have read them more carefully!!
• Stanley (6/5): Pleasant -
• Daniel (10/5): Comfortable, reasonably priced, perfect location! - We booked Casa Pachita last minute because we decided to come to Cartagena a day earlier than originally planned and our other hotel was unavailable for the extra night. In the end, we wish we had stayed the entire time at Casa Pachita! It was so fun to stay in a local home right in the heart of Getsemani which felt much more authentic than the walled city.
• Sindy (10/5): Exceptional -
