How do you know all this about Cartagena?

We keep a curated set of 87 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, none of them independently measured, so read them as indicative rather than lab-tested. 43 of the 87 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 12 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.”

“However, the surrounding is very noisy, very a bar at the corner of the street that will play loud and live music until early morning from Monday to Sunday.”

Stay in Bocagrande January 2025

Nearby
