How do you know all this about Cartagena?

We keep a curated set of 212 stays in Cartagena and re-check them over time, rather than repeating whatever a booking site happens to show today. Connection speeds are what each place and its guests report, 33 of the 93 independently measured, so read them as indicative rather than lab-tested. 119 of the 212 carry no reading at all, and unmeasured is not the same as slow. Prices are the advertised monthly rate, before any discount a host offers. Reviews are counted rather than summarised, and quotes appear word for word, attributed to a stay and a date rather than to a person. Every figure here was computed on 7 September 2026.

What guests say about Cartagena

Reproduced word for word, and only where a guest was writing about the place rather than the flat.

What they like about Cartagena

Getting around

“The location is ideal, conveniently close to the airport, the historic walled city, and directly across from the beach.”

The listing August 2026

Nearby

“It is so close to everything we we recommend Andre Carne de Res and Cande, two awesome and fun restaurants nearby.”

The listing March 2026

“To be completely away from it you'd have to stay further away from the city center which would make it less convenient.”

The listing May 2026

What they warn about Cartagena

Walkable

“However, if you're looking for a neighborhood where you can walk around the area and soak in the vibe, this is not the best area to do it.”

Stay in La Quinta August 2026

“I wouldn’t recommend for any solo females unless you plan to uber everywhere, which is what I ended up having to do.”

Stay in Torices July 2025

Noise

“- as with every other place i've stayed in Colombia, isolation is never amazing so there will be some noise coming from street.”

The listing April 2025

Guest reviews, never edited and never paraphrased. We hold no reviewer names, so a quote is attributed to a place and a date rather than to a person.
