Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

NetherlandsNothing at all. It’s a shame that this level of service is hard to find anywhere else!
I travel a lot but I’ve never seen such a friendly and helpful staff as at Casa Isabel. Every time you walk in they welcome you with a refreshing cold towel and a delicious juice. That’s not all, they genially make time for you for a lovely conversation. You learn about the neighborhood and they make sure all your wishes can be fulfilled! We had a nice time with Giulio but the whole team is great and dedicated to their work. We’ve met the owner Luis and even that our stay was perfect he’s always looking for things to improve. Don’t hesitate and book your stay at Casa Isabel!!

ColombiaThe room was extremely small. No light because the window was only a small opening. The double bed bunk beds were also unappealing and took up most of the room.

Great staff - super friendly, always ready to make for a comfortable and memorable stay. Welcoming us with a friendly smile every time we enter the hotel, offering a cool towel and refreshing juice. It was like home away from home thanks to Julio, Javier and Kati. Breakfast was also fantastic. Cocktails on the rooftop lounge with jacuzzi is really a luxury. Within walking distance to the happening spots of Getsemani 3-5 min. and the historical town 10-15 min but quiet and calm.

The staff are friendly and ever helpful. My room is cute and pretty and they cleaned the room really well. I had a room with a balcony and I enjoyed the morning and evening view. The terrace is also lovely...in the evening the breeze is soothing and you can enjoy the cocktail. Breakfast is just enough to keep you full till mid-day.

United KingdomAll was good.
A fantastic hotel in a fantastic part of the city with the most friendly helpful staff ever. This hotel is a beautiful well decorated building but the staff make it truly special. The cocktails served on the rooftop are excellent, some of the best cocktails I've ever had. The hotel is one Street away from the arty area and so is quiet yet very safe. There is a police station along the road and the police seem to pop in for cold water which makes it even safer. The room was lovely and the ac would make it freezing within a few minutes of switching the ac on. The breakfast was huge and delicious with a fantastic view on the rooftop. Id love to come back here, and would definitely stay I this hotel. It would be great with normal staff - with the guys they've got it's perfect.

GermanyUnfortunately, the roof top was closed for maintenance.
It was very well located at the historic center of Cartagena, but not directly next to the bars and restaurants that play music at night, so it wasn’t very loud at night but everything is still well walkable. The staff was amazing, very attentive and always helpful. They also helped with booking tours. The breakfast was fantastic and they always had free juices at the reception.

Germany*Hotel is located right by the wall facing east and at 8/9 am it started getting really hot. The Room tuned sticky as soon as you turned air con off. I suggest you ask for a second key card to leave one the the room can be kept cool. (yes it rises energy consumption but room is too hot and sticky otherwise). *No noise from bars or parties however the cars and party buses pass by often so I definitely recommend earplugs!! * I had a wonderful stay at Casa Isabel but in terms of prices, I personally found that the boutique price vs value/comfort of room could be enhanced (room was fairly small). I treated myself to two nights there even though I found more economic options nearby with larger rooms and even more comfort.
in addition to all the amenities that a boutique hotel provides, here are a few more things that stood out for me. *Customer service - it was exceptional. They truly want to create an experience for you. They tailor breakfast to your needs (Im vegan) and they go out of their way to assist you. I needed help with arranging a day pass for the Hyatt and Cathy took care of everything. Even after I had checked out. fantastic! *As it was by birthday, I was able to negotiate a discount for my second night. *Free refill of water bottle. *Hotel provides earplugs :-)

IndiaLocation is just at the outskirts of Getsemani on a slightly run down road, although the hotel is barely five minutes walk from the swinging night life of Trinidad Plaza and other hotspots.
Quiet, comfortable rooms, even if on the smaller side. Warm and efficient staff. Thank you Cathy, Julio and Jose Luis for a wonderful stay. Very responsive and helpful. Loved the additional touches like unlimited free fresh juices, coffee, and cold towels every time I came in from the hot city. Also the always available jacuzzi on the top terrace. Great value for money.

They have a very nice roof top terrace and a jaccuzi. You can have your breakfast on the terrace if you want. There are Cocteles 2 for 1 all the time. I stayed with a friend and we can recommend the room Las Palmas (right on the top where the terrace is) and media lunia which has a little balcony. Muchas gracias to all of you!!!!
