Pros: A fantastic stay at Casa Carolina. Excellent staff who spoke very good English and couldn’t do enough to help us. I would especially recommend the boat tour that takes you to deserted beaches around Tayrona. The rooms were clean with a very comfortable extra large bed. The relaxation areas of the hotel were great as there were several swimming pools, jacuzzis and hang out areas so it never felt crowded. I would highly recommend it!

Pros: - Clean, nice rooms - Good breakfast - Samir at the rooftop bar & pool was very friendly and helpful.
Cons: - No shower gel, only soap and no shower cap provided either. - We read this in previous comments and can also confirm the following : 1. Very low COLD water pressure, hot water pressure no issue... 2. Absolutely NO shade if you want to relax on a sunbed at the rooftop bar & pool. Possibly because it can get very windy... 3. Windows of rooms very dirty but seems a challenge to keep them clean all the time...
9.2 Excellent
Pros: - super comfortable room, nice bathroom - fridge, big mirrors,
Cons: - badly equipped gym (mostly cardio machines, some free weights) - we own an AMEX platinum, so we should get free breakfast, but Hilton honours had problems changing our account and the staff refused to give us breakfast for free, even though it was not our fault)
4.2 Okay
Pros:
Cons: In a general manner, the rooms are great but basic for this kind of hotel. No drinks in the room, the beds are very small for two persons and the staff are not happy to work there. Furthermore, the hotel charged us 40 USD more for each friend coming less than an hour, just chilling because « it’s the policy to take always more ». In final, we have to pay for 6 persons whereas the room have only 4 beds... that’s unacceptable, I never saw that, just have the impression to be a cash cow. According to me, it s better to book other local hotel, less expensive and much more FLEXIBLE. I’m so disappointed by the brand.

Pros: The B&B was in a great location, very central but far enough away from all the action that you aren't affected by the noise. My room was in the back and was very quiet. The house itself is lovely. Lots of unique touches, and the roof deck is AWESOME. I didn't spend as much time there as I'd have liked to. The staff was lovely and accommodating. I spent one night in Minca and then returned, and they were really nice about letting me leave my big suitcase there. The breakfast was simple but very good. Highly recommended.

Pros: The hostel is in a quiet street in the old town, just a few streets from the cathedral. The house is charming, and stylish with antiques and a great rooftop terrace with hammocks. We stayed in different rooms as we returned after a trip to Ciudad Perdida. The upstairs twin room is comfy but the bathroom is really tiny. We preferred the downstairs rooms. The staff is very nice, and the whole place is very relaxing. Would stay there again. I love places with a history.

Pros: Unique guesthouse with friendly staff, walking distance between the beach, tour offices, ATM, restaurants and market area (where you can take the bus to Tayrona) The room had comfortable beds and good air conditioning. The staff were very kind and accommodating even though some of their English was limited. It’s a small guesthouse with only a few rooms (note that some of them are up small and windy stairs) so they really make you feel at home. Good breakfast. Really cute rooftop garden with hammocks to relax.

Cons: There is a very steep and narrow spiral staircase to get to the two rooms upstairs (where I was). I frankly felt a little unsafe every time I went up and down, especially when I had my big heavy backpack. It wouldn't stop me from staying there again, but it wasn't fun.

Pros: Staff is very nice and friendly. Room was good.

Cons: The windows were slamming due to the wind which made it hard to sleep, but that might just have been due to unusually strong winds.
8.3 Excellent
Pros: It was pretty and quaint. And the people were nice. The restaurant waiter was sweet the food was good ie the recommeded one i guess we got unlucky.
Cons: I think that the owners should explain construction is occurring next door. Also there was no electricity or obviously internet or fan for the whole night so it was very hot and impossible to sleep. Normally the fan kills the sound of hammers. So we could only sleep 3 hours. The sounds of the maersk cargo ships offloading kept making beeping noises. Also the restaurant in front was recommended to us and the seafood soup so my husband got sick it was off. Also it was not obvious that airconditioning was extra

Pros: Located only a few blocks away along walking streets from the busy tourist area, as well as the beach, and much calmer than if you stay smack right in the "Zona Rosa". The street has more of a local ambience than a touristy one.
Cons: It's a local Colombian hospedaria, nothing fancy, a bed, toilet and a pipe with water to take a shower. Expect some noise from the corridor outside the room. Wifi non-existent in the room.

Cons: Needs updating
9.6 Excellent
Pros: great location and breakfast staff.
Cons: check in and out was horrible. the reception staff was rude and I had to wait while others walked right in and were served immediately. when it was time to check out I waited forever again and was not treated well at all. no thank you or have a nice trip or anything and I even donated a nice guide book.
5.4 Okay
Pros:
Cons: Unfortunately although we left a sign on our door stating that the room did not need cleaning we still had someone enter our room to clean it. The following day we discovered that 40 USD were missing. Management were polite but seemingly unapologetic when we explained the situation and said that without a full investigation there was nothing they could do.

Cons: The rooms weren’t very clean and the beds aren’t the most comfortable. If you want to spend time at the hotel, I wouldn’t recommend it. However, if you’re out and about most of the time, it’s a great place in terms of location.

Pros: Location
Cons: Old facilities, bathroom needs renovation
6.3 Good
Pros: The location is excellent. The Italian pizzeria at the entrance.
Cons: It's a very old hotel. the doors have locks from the 70s. the ROOMS ARE NOT LIKE the photos they published. They gave me a small dark and without natural light. In the whole room there was only one outlet that was already occupied by the TV and the fridge. If you wanted to recharge your phone you had to disconnect one of the two. The pool is smaller than what the photo shows and is surrounded by four walls.

The next day when we returned from our day's activities there were no towels and the sheet had been folded up and left on the end of the bed.
