Guest Reviews
- Wolfgang (6/5): -
- Philippe (5/5): - Situation dans un quartier calme et à proximité de getsemani. Hôtel vétuste, manque d'entretien. Accueil minimal .Un personnel ne semblant guère passionné par son métier. Trop cher pour les prestations fournies.
- johan (8/5): Bien por el precio - Se abona que son pet friendly, en mi caso estuve de paso con mis mascotas y muy amable el personal 0 lios con mis mascotas (cabe aclarar que mis mascotas son educadas y 0 ruidosas), Ubicacion, Cuenta con Aire Acondicionado, Personal amable y Parqueadero Iluminación, me tocó cuarto oscuro y la puerta del baño hacia mas ruido que niño recien nacido, algo que se soluciona con aceite lubricante pero no es la gran cosa (a nivel de mala experiencia)
- Annegret (10/5): Tolle Villa, nette Gastgeber - Ein familiengeführtes kleines Hotel in einer tollen Villa aus der Kolonialzeit. Ruhig gelegen; das Künstlerviertel Getsemani fußläufig erreichbar. Supermärkte, Restaurants und eine Busstation in der Nähe.
Das Zimmer war groß, sauber und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Es hat uns super gefallen!
- angelo (6/5): Poco impegno. - Posizione perfetta. La ragazza alla reception è disponibile e gentile. Cambio biancheria bagno all'occorrenza. Potenziale della struttura davvero alto.
Nei tre giorni di soggiorno sono stati attenti a variare la colazione. Non capisco come sia possibile, con la bassa qualità dell'attenzione alla cura della struttura, non attendersi delle recensioni negative. Basterebbe pochissimo x rimediare alle mancanze e disattenzione delle camere: schizzi di pittura sugli arredi, condizionatore rumoroso e purtroppo necessario, acqua calda assente, arredi vecchi e trascurati, asciugamani vecchi e consumati, piatto doccia senza pendenza e quindi si sta con i piedi a mollo, sedia rotte
- Miguel Ángel (9/5): -
- Beatrix (9/5): - Super freundlich und großes Zimmer. Gutes Frühstück.
- Frederic (6/5): - L'emplacement Chambre vétusté, miroir salle de bain posé sur un meuble cassé. Propreté pas terrible.
- ANNE (6/5): Déçus - Chambre en deçà de nos attentes. Propreté un peu douteuse et état peu vétuste de la salle de bain et de la chambre.
- DIANA (9/5): Hermosa casa en Cartagena, ambiente familiar y acogedor - La casa es patrimonio arquitectónico, es grande, la habitación que nos dieron es amplia, con un closet grande para organizar nuestras cosas, baño amplio, tiene parqueadero, la familia que atiende la casa es muy amable, dan información útil para la estancia en la ciudad, responden de manera rápida a las solicitudes, tienen servicio de lavandería. Everest es un encanto :-) Si bien, el barrio es seguro y tranquilo, lo único que no me gustó es la distancia a la ciudad amurallada y las playas. No es un aspecto que deban o puedan modificar, pero para los viajeros es importante saber que hay que tomar transporte hacia la playa o al centro si no están dispuestos a caminar mucho.
- Guillaume (7/5): Bien situé, le confort est simple et rudimentaire, pour ceux qui cherchent la simplicité et le calme à 2 pas des quartie - Possibilité de se rendre à Getsemani et la vieille villle à pied.
- Julieta (10/5): - La ubicación es genial! Está en un barrio tranquilo. A pocas cuadras se encuentra getsemani y podés ir caminando segura tanto de día y de noche. También está muy cerca del castillo san felipe. El desayuno es muy rico y Derli y todos los que trabajan allí nos trataron super bien, dándonos indicaciones y ayudándonos con lo que necesitábamos. Nos guardaron agua en la heladera, nos dieron agua caliente para el mate. El hotel es estilo colonial, siemple y muy limpio. El baño es algo antiguo pero funcionaba todo bien. Nada
- Hernan (7/5): - La ubicación. La flexibilidad de horario para el check in. La predisposición de la administradora. La relación calidad precio. Si bien las instalaciones estaban limpias y en condiciones, no son lujosas.
- Christine (9/5): -
- Jesus Pinzon (10/5): Muy buena estancia. - La atención del personal, excepcional.
- Heidi (8/5): Great stay - Big comfortable room in a quiet location, ca. 15 minutes walk to the historic centre of town.
Andres is a fabulous host, he helped with taxi service and setting up my mobile data. Would stay again No hot water
- Heidi (9/5): Would stay again! Very relaxing - Beautiful, quiet, rustic hotel with lovely rooms. Comfortable beds, aircon, good food, very helpful staff, especially Estefany the guest relations manager!! The beach is small but nice, plenty of sun loungers. Good choice of activities paid for and free!
- Yumi (7/5): -
- Susana (1/5): Mal estado - nada. al llegar nos cobraron un adicional de 6% por uso de tarjeta VISA. Indicaron que todo Cartagena cobra ese adicional.
no recibían dólares, solo pesos colombianos los cuales no teníamos suficiente para pagar la tarifa. Nos retiramos del local.
En pésimo estado de mantenimiento, falta de limpieza y orden, Las imágenes no corresponden a la realidad.
- cornelia (8/5): -
- Valérie (5/5): - Peu de choses Hotel très cher pour sa catégorie, avec des installations vétustes et très peu de services. Je ne le recommande pas. Pour le même prix, à seulement deux rues de là, nous avons trouvé un hôtel bien plus confortable, avec un personnel très sympathique, accueillant et très professionnel. Un café était à notre disposition.
- michele (6/5): - La chambre était spacieuse et l'endroit calme et pas très loin à pied du centre historique. L'établissement a l'air décrépit. Le jardin est à l'abandon, ce qui est dommage. Beaucoup de moustiques.
- EvelineH (10/5): De passage - L'emplacement, l'hôtel était tout près de la plage et du centre historique. L'ambiance au calme, l'aménagement de la chambre, le petit déjeuner. Ce fut un super halte. Tout était parfait.
- David (9/5): - Habitación funcional y limpia, buen wifi, personal muy amable, tienen servicio de lavandería a buen precio. El patio interior es muy bonito, con un desayuno incluido.wl AC funcionaba bien.Mi habitación estaba en un anexo enfrente de la pequeña piscina.
La zona es muy tranquila y a 10 minutos andando del casco viejo.
Todo Bien
- Emilie Bl (10/5): Super adresse proche du centre et au calme - L'emplacement idéal de l'autre côté du pont (-10min) pour rejoindre getsemani, mais au calme et avec toutes les commodités autour.
L'accueil des hôtes, on se sent comme à la maison ! Petit dej frais préparé le matin.
Chambre super spacieuse. Une petite cuisine partager à dispo serait un vrai plus.
- Vero Reyce (9/5): Excelente relación-precio calidad - la atención del personal, siempre atentos y amables
- Marija (2/5): horibble dangerous smell - olor terrible peligroso - Había un olor terrible en la habitación que me asignaron inicialmente. Era una mezcla de humedad, baño, repelente de insectos y la antigüedad de todo en el lugar. Tuve que mantener el aire acondicionado y el ventilador encendidos todo el tiempo, además de la puerta abierta, para no asfixiarme con el olor. Se me llenaron los ojos de lágrimas y estornudé de lo desagradable que estaba.
Además, la habitación se encontraba en un estado ruinoso. A solo 3 metros había una bodega abierta y desordenada donde se reunían las ratas. Exigí una nueva habitación o un reembolso, pero no accedieron. Solo después de dos días me dieron una habitación mejor.
Esta primera habitación es una verdadera vergüenza. Está aislada, en la planta baja, en el patio, fuera del complejo principal de edificios. Si piensas alojarte aquí, ten cuidado de no terminar en esa habitación: te arrepentirás.
- Mariana (10/5): - Fomos muito bem recebidas na hospedagem! A casa é muito bonita e tem um pátio atrás com muitas árvores e pássaros, o que torna o ambiente muito tranquilo, um diferencial no meio da cidade de Cartagena. Localização estratégica para chegar em vários pontos de interesse. Os quartos eram amplos, arejados, bem cuidados e limpos. Café da manhã delicioso!
- Ana (9/5): - Muy cálida la atención. Ambiente sencillo y muy limpio
- Eris (8/5): - La proximité avec le centre ville et Getsemani. Des chambres très vieille et pas entretenu.
- Wolthéra Hamaker (10/5): - Heerlijk adres in de buurt Manga, op loop afstand van het centrum, zeer vriendelijke host Derli en haar man, zeer ruim huis met prettige tuin/patio. We zijn tijdens onze vakantie eerst 2 nachten verbleven en later nog 1 nacht. Alles was fijn!
- Valentina (10/5): - I due proprietari di casa sono fantastici, in poco tempo ti faranno sentire subito a casa. Disponibili ad aiutarti in qualsiasi momento e per qualsiasi cosa. Persone meravigliose.
La casa si trova in una zona residenziale sicura a 10 min a piedi dal centro storico.
Le Camere sono spaziosissime e pulite, c’e acqua tiepida nella doccia che è una cosa rara in Colombia.
Insomma tutto perfetto, assolutamente consigliato se volete vivere in una vera casa colombiana e conoscere persone stupende.

- Carlos (8/5): -
- sonia (9/5): Muy buena opcion para hacer turismo en Cartagena - Bonita casa colonial con un equipo humano trabajando muy majos y serviciales. La habitacion era mu espaciosa, tranquila y con aire acondicionado Todo estuvo bien, aunque el servicio de desayuno quizas era un poco lento
- Juan (10/5): Excellent value for money - Superb value for money NA
- Noortje (10/5): Exceptional - We loved this place! Really helpful people, cute dog, lovely breakfast, a nice little pool and good location.
- Madalena (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (4/5): Teleurstellend - Room wasn’t clean, airco made a lot of noise, and didn’t work properly. We wanted to leave, to look for another hotel but got another, good, room.
Breakfast was minimal, w didn’t get a second cup of coffee and the teawas lukewarm. No warm welcome.
- Samit (8/5): Antique and nice stay - Antique house turned into hotel. Rooms are very old as expected. Bed room and bathroom have nice space but door didn’t lock properly Nice and fresh breakfast , scrambled egg, coffee, fruit , toasted bread with jam and butter. Staff were very nice and helpful. 15-20 walk to the old town, very convenient
- Lucie (7/5): Perfect location & nice neighbourhood - Perfect location and good breakfast.
- Enrico (9/5): Colonial house in Cartagena - The host is very friendly and it was easy arranging our late arrival on 31st December. The price is excellent for the location in extremely high season. The rooms are large and the house is nice. The neighbouring is also nice and you can reach Getsemani in 10 minutes on foot and the centre in 30 minutes. We attended an amazing street party in front of the house for New Year's Eve. The rooms are a bit outdated. Breakfast was limited, but this was because of the time and the day (early on 1st January). The showers are cold.
- Nora (8/5): Lovely hosts in a lovely place that could use a bit of refreshment - It is in a pretty quiet neighborhood that feels safe with lots of green around. The hosts are super lovely and helpful people. Also the bed is comfortable and the room was clean. The green in the backyard and the birds we saw before and during breakfast were just amazing. The room was a bit worn down, walls could use some coloring and refreshing.
- Ülle (10/5): Exceptional - The house is beautiful and in an excellent location - only 15 min by foot to the old town. Manga is a quiet and pretty neighbourhood.
We stayed in a cheaper kind of room, which I regretted having seen the house. So my ratings concerning cozyness do not apply for all rooms.
Breakfast was served on a patio and we were allowed to keep our beverages in the kitchen refrigerator. Also wifi was good and there was always someone in the house.
Now I need to say many praising words about Andrés. An extremely amicable man, always good-natured and humorous - and available by WhatsApp. He spoke a little English, but mostly we translated using Google.
The most thing we are grateful for is that he ordered a taxi for us for 04:30 in the morning to take us to the airport, and got up to see us off, with a big smile on his face. Thank you so much, Andrés!
- Roberto (8/5): Not good - Not much
- Kirby (9/5): Superb - After nearly 2 months in South America Andres has to be the best host I met. Very postive and enthusiastic guy who is also incredibly helpful with local advice and with any issues or questions that may come up during your stay.
- Emma (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location. 15 min walk from the tourist neighbourhood. Quiet location which is perfect after the business of Cartagena. Very welcoming host. Would highly recommend.
- Watermelon (9/5): Superb - The host and his staff and family were very sweet and kind. It made my stay in Cartagena special! Not that I didn't like, but the facility is minimal. Kettle, hungers, shower gel etc would have been helpful.
- Maria (8/5): A value for money choice, with a traditional twist. - The room was spacious and clean. It also had an air-condition. The building was nice, like an old Spanish house, with a beautiful garden in the middle. The staff was polite and helpful and the location was ok, as the neighborhood was quiet and 15 minutes from the city center by foot. In general, it was a value for money choice. The breakfast could have been more in quantity and variety. The staff, although helpful, did not speak English, which could have helped even more. There was no hot water (thank God the temperature was high so we could stand the cold water) and regarding the location, it would have been great if it was even closer to the city center.
- Michał (10/5): Ohh beautifully end of journey - everything was great, actually this place can't be beat at this price for the quality it offers, super quiet neighborhood Opening the entrance is a bit of a pain, someone has to do it every time
- Paul (8/5): Very good - Excellent location for walking intonthe historic centre and lively and quiet. Lovely breakfast and parking on the spot. Nice friendly staff. Room had aircon and a fan and the aircon was needed. The house is a beautiful house and a lot of the photos are of the house. We don't know what the rooms in the house were like. We thought we woukd be staying in one as per the photos but we were actually in a separate room out in the back. The room was tiny and voukd really do with a revamp. The floor was very dusty indeed and there was no extract in the bathroom. If booking be careful of where the room is. All in all the positives outweighed the negatives as we were only staying two nights and it wouĺd certainly have been OK for a third.
- Omar (5/5): Passable -
- David (10/5): Exceptional - This family-owned bed and breakfast really has a wonderful feeling. The rooms are spacious. It's located in a safe area close to Old Town Cartagena.
- Teodora (10/5): Exceptional - Great location in a safe residential neighborhood, but still close to the center and touristy spots. Very nice staff and owners. We were allowed to leave our luggage in the house after checking out, as our flight was late in the evening. The owners even gave us a lift to the airport! It was a really great experience! When we arrived, the bathroom wasn't quite clean.
- Paul (9/5): Nice place around 20 minutes away from center - All ok Further aeay from center than i thouht ( at least 20 minutes by goot or car )
- Krisztina (8/5): Very good -
- Bridgett (8/5): Very good - Very nice house, nice back patio with hammocks. Breakfast was wonderful. AIr conditioning worked great. The basic rooms are in the back, accessed from the back courtyard and the main house is locked at night. You need to ask someone to open the front gate every time you go in or out from casa mayor. There is no hot water. It's not too far from the old town, but with the heat in Cartegena it's hard to walk there and back without getting really tired.
- Angelica (9/5): Superb -
- Milan (10/5): Friendly staff and reliable services - The staff was kind and helpful. Everything worked well (service, air conditioning).
The location is convenient - close to the city center and also close to the university.
Good breakfast: bread and eggs, jam, papaya, and fresh blackberry juice. Take your own shampoo :-)
- Zita (9/5): Comfortable stay in a fab location - Excellent location, close to walk to central, shops and restaurants nearby.
Staff is super friendly and helpful! Feels more like someone’s home than a hotel. I was even invited to a family get together with delicious BBQ. Great aircon in room, tasty breakfast!
Highly recommend and would return. It was so hot and humid in Cartagena, if they would have had a pool that would have been amazing!
It’s not a dislike, it would have been just cherry on the cake.
