Salim

Everything was excellent! The house is highly recommended, the rooms are very comfortable and perfect for large groups!

Spectacular for large groups. Very clean and tidy everything. All staff are very friendly.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing stay I stayed here with eight friends on a guys’ trip, and everything exceeded our expectations. The property is beautiful, and the photos accurately reflect the space. The staff truly made this experience exceptional. Alexandra (maid/cook) was incredible—she prepared whatever meals we wanted, had lunch ready upon arrival, and even washed all of our clothes before we left. Blas (security) was outstanding as well, staying with us from 6 PM to 6 AM to ensure our safety. He also helped us with transportation and VIP access at local clubs. The location is perfect, right in the heart of the city with restaurants and stores within walking distance. It can be a bit lively and noisy at night, but that comes with being in such a central area. The pool was cold at first, but manageable. Overall, a 5-star experience. I will definitely stay at Salim’s properties again.

Great beautiful place, in a perfect location. Walking distance to the main place you want to be in Cartagena. The maid and security made the experience 10x better, be sure to tip them!

Amazing location and excellent staff. Clean and lots of room for everyone. Hosts were amazing and ready to help with anything you may need. Thank You

Amazing house. Great host. If ever I go back to Cartagena this is the house I would rent. Having maid service and security is amazing. The pool was great. Having a safe in all rooms definitely helped. You got to try this place.

Excellent stay!!

Excellent

The place looked exactly as described. Lucy and Pedro (caretakers) were exceptional. They were very helpful and attended to all our needs. The house is clean, and in walking distance to all the stores, entertainment and good services the city has to offer. Communication from the host was also on point. They answered all questions and catered to our needs. I will book this place again and highly recommend !

This house is perfect if you are a large group. It is in an excellent location with shops, restaurants and a supermarket in a walk able distance. Also it is a very safe zone and it is very easy to access. The security of the house, Francisco was great. Also they helped us make breakfast in the mornings. overall we had the best experience in this location.

This was the perfect place for my party of 15 women. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us. The pool was perfect to cool off in. Nightlife was loud sometimes but the rooms were nice and cool. Kala, our maid and Pedro, our guard were terrific and handled all of our needs. Salim's place is conveniently located and had everything we needed.

Always an amazing stay here. The staff is amazing and place is gorgeous. Highly recommend and will continue to stay here in the future.

Great for large group.

Our stay was amazing. Several friends and I went to celebrate a birthday and they supported us with all the logistics. Alexandra helped us with everything. The place is impeccable, the location is very practical, everything was very clean and the rooms were very comfortable. The maintenance team is always attentive, the security guy was very friendly, we always felt safe, they took very good care of us. Recommendation that the description indicate that there are 7 rooms with a private bathroom inside the room, 1 room with a private bathroom outside the room and 2 rooms that share the same bathroom, so that this information is not a surprise when arriving, I always thought that there were 10 rooms with a private bathroom. Thank you!!

Everything A1

Very good stay and thank you very much to the security Lisandro and to our little maid who treated us every breakfast and for the cleaning

Hands down best house we have ever stayed in. The house was beautiful and spotless. The location was perfect. We were within walking distance to sooo many restaurants, bars and stores. We were celebrating a family reunion and 18 of us stayed in the house very comfortably. Everyone was very happy with their accomodations. Alexandra made us a delicious colombian breakfast for us everyday. Definitely would stay here again. Blas our security guard went above and beyond to make sure we were safe at all times.

Our Airbnb was fantastic and truly the highlight of our trip. The house had everything we needed, and everyone had their own room and private bathroom, just as described. The best part of our stay was Alexandra, the housekeeper, and Blas, the private security guard. Alexandra greeted us every morning with breakfast and kept everything spotless throughout our stay. She was sweet and made us feel cared for. Blas was equally amazing. He made sure we were always safe, helped us get around, and even offered to walk us or pick us up late at night. His kindness and attention made us feel completely at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. 10/10 — would absolutely stay here again.

Our stay in Cartagena, Colombia was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel completely at home. Damian, the concierge, went above and beyond to accommodate every need—from currency exchange to having a late checkout. Carmen, the chef and house attendant, was extraordinary. Her cooking was out of this world, and she always had the perfect recommendation or solution for anything we needed. She quickly became family to us—we even started calling her Titi Carmen! Her warmth and care made our experience unforgettable. Lisandro, our security, was also amazing. He was attentive, reliable, and always there when we needed him—even pointing us to the best late-night snack spots. The house itself felt like a true home away from home—cozy, welcoming, and beautifully designed. From the comfortable bedrooms to the refreshing pool on the ground level, and the incredible rooftop hot tub with stunning views, every space was perfect. This place is simply awesome!

Excellent service, from the concierge, security and housekeeper. The truth is that the layout of the house is very good and the location is right for getting to know the walled city. We appreciate all the attention given.

Thank you Salim, everything was excellent

Our experience was perfect. We were a group of 13 and before we even arrived we were being taken care of. The staff helped us organize a dinner at the house, they bought groceries and gave useful tips. The house itself is amazing for a big group, the pool clean, the rooms were BIG and had AC and the common areas were comfortable for the big group. The best part of the experience was Blasé. He was the security guard who stayed over night. He walked us to and from restaurants and ensured a pregnant friend could leave the bar early. He was an absolute sweet heart.

Great stay!

Perfect

Excellent place in an unbeatable location, just a 10-minute walk from downtown. The hosts, Lisandro and Damian, made the experience even more special with their excellent recommendations and care. Always attentive and available at any time to respond. 100% recommended

This past weekend was such an exciting and memorable experience for my friends and me. From the delicious morning breakfast to the reliable 12-hour security that made us feel safe at all times, everything exceeded our expectations. Each day we came back to fresh sheets and clean towels, which made our stay even more comfortable. Overall, this was truly an A-class experience in Cartagena, Colombia. Thank you, Lucy and Francisco, for making our stay so special!

I don’t ever leave reviews unless they are really bad or really good! This place was neither. It was GREAT. Like everything was GREAT!!!!!!!

Perfect place!

Very good. Pedro and Layla are a 10

Excellent service received from the staff. A great location. The place is as described on the page. Highly recommended.

The place was in a great location and the rooms were accommodating, however the best part of our stay was our in-house keeper (Alejandra) who was the absolute BEST, then at night we had our own personal security (Blas). They made our stay phenomenal. The place is great but the two of them elevated everything. If the owner sees this, please make sure they get paid well and make sure you keep them operating this location. We will be back

Out stay was amazing. Went above and beyond our expectations. The staff was great. Luz and Francisco were awesome. Luz cooked us breakfast every morning and Francisco went out with us every night as security so we felt safe.

Thank you to Salim and the team for a wonderful stay. My friends and I enjoyed every moment of our stay and having security and the lovely house keeper daily made everything calm and peaceful. She prepared some wonderful meals for us and kept the place in order during our stay. Thanks for the quick response to the minor maintenance issues as that is exactly what one would expect in a AirBnB. Having one of my favorite Italian restaurants a few doors down was lovely. Will definitely choose this place again and have added it to my favorites. Until next time

This Airbnb was amazing, it was really a Villa experience. We stayed here for my sister’s bachelorette trip and we had an amazing time , we were all sad to leave. The service was amazing and the security guard made us feel safe and welcome. Blas was exceptional, he was there every single night making sure we made it home and that nobody left alone. I would highly recommend any groups who are looking to stay in the area to book this place. The concierge was also very helpful , he helped us book our boat ride to a beach club and was very responsive to all of my messages and questions. Would stay here again and again!

Lovely home in the center of everything! We had a large group traveling together after my brother’s wedding and this place accommodated our group of 20 perfectly! It had a good number of king sized beds and a small pool that the kids enjoyed. The host, Ada, was very attentive and responsive whenever I needed anything. She even helped us organize transportation from the airport and a yacht. The housekeeper Leila was very helpful and sweet, she cooked some meals for us (we just provided the food). And we felt very safe with the security Pedro always watching the home at night. He even walked us to a restaurant our first night there. The only complaint I had was some of the guests who stayed upstairs heard very loud noises due to nearby construction. The place was mostly quiet on the main floor, though. Some of the features are a little dated but overall comfortable, cute, clean home, would recommend!

I loved my stay. The location is excellent, close to everything in Cartagena. The staff were very friendly throughout the stay, always willing to help. In particular, the security guard was very respectful and attentive, which made us feel very safe. I would definitely come back!!!

Loved the location, in the mix with everything. Walking distance to everything you’d want and need. Safe and wonderful. Outdoor kitchen is lovely. Would recommend every time

The place was great for hosting a large group. The staff made our stay incredible. The security guard Francisco kept us feeling safe. Luz did a great job cooking and cleaning. She even did laundry for a few of us. They went above and beyond. The location was walkable to both the walled city and Getsemaní. The pool is a little smaller than it appears in the picture and there were some minor issues around the villa that were quickly addressed by maintenance. I would highly recommend.

Excellent stay! Highly recommend!

Our stay was awesome our hostess Alex was amazing she was so helpfully with everything we need. Blass our night security was amazing very knowledgeable with the people in the area and where to avoid and what not to go recommend this place to anybody foraure

The space was awesome. Our housmaid was on point and made a great breakfast each day! Security made sure we were good and looked out for us all night. Area is safe but the security was great to have especially when you forget your key ha ha. No complaints and would book it again!

Great Location…One of my favorite Airbnb. Salim is very helpful and knowledgeable about the area….Thank you again for everything,me and my family enjoy our whole trip to Cartagena…

one of the best Airbnbs I've ever been to. The place looks like the photos, it has a perfect location and the people who work there are very efficient and friendly. 100% recommended

Had an amazing stay here. Everything is as advertised. Carmen was our cook and she does not miss, everything she made was amazing. She was always friendly and helpful. Our security Lesandro was also great, above and beyond. Made sure everything went smooth and was always professional. Couldn't imagine the trip without them

Our stay in Cartagena was very good. The location of the house is excellent: safe, central and well connected. Pedro, in charge of security, and Leila, in charge of cleaning and food, were extraordinary: attentive, helpful and always willing to help with any detail. The only thing we would have liked to know in advance is that there are buildings right next to the property. The noise starts very early and affects the tranquility, especially in the mornings. Other than that, the experience was very positive and the service impeccable.

My family and I enjoyed the stay at this Villa. It was 17 of us. The rooms were spacious and well decorated. Loved that they all had their own bathrooms. Our concierge Damien as well as Alexandra and Glass made the stay comfortable and safe. They were awesome. Damien assisted me with booking decor, cakes, transportation and welcome lunch prior to our arrival. Alexandra cooked delicious breakfasts for us all week and kept the place tidy. The Villa is outside but very near the walled city. We loved that it was walking distance to everything. Amazing restaurant across the street. They would even deliver meals to our kitchen with Glass assistance. We can’t complain about anything. The only thing that would make this property above perfect would be for the host to add at least one more TV in the communal area and/or each bedroom. I would definitely stay here again if I returned to Cartagena.

The house was amazing! A beautiful and big house, colonial style! Location can't be better. Right where you want to be. Damian and Lazardo were great. Carmelina was the super star! She is the best! She is absolutely amazing human being, she took care of us like in 5 star hotel. Best cook in the world. I am highly recommending this place!

Leila cooked an excellent breakfast for us every day, kept the place spotless, and was always available for us. Pedro was great for us during the overnight hours, keeping us all safe.

This place is absolutely wonderful! I fell in love with it the moment I stepped inside. The welcoming and exceptional services we received were top-notch for a group of ten people. Damian was incredibly responsive and accommodating to our every need. He even visited us in person to ensure everything was in order. The private space is amazing, and the location is perfect. It’s walkable to everything you need, from entertainment to groceries. You name it, you’ve got it! To top it all off, there’s a 24/7 security guard who will help you with anything you may need. And let’s not forget about Alexanderah, the lovable lady who cooked for us breakfast every morning and cleaned the place. We absolutely adore her! We had an incredible time and will definitely stay here again. It’s a 100% recommendation!

We had an absolute amazing time at the property. The house was spotless and had everything that we needed. The staff that was on property was also very helpful and made us feel at ease.. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommended to anyone visiting Cartagena..

Salim and his team were great through our entire stay. The place was amazing and convenient. The staff was always available and provided great hospitality. Would highly recommend!

My family & I had a great time staying at Salim’s place. The location was great. The maid & the security were both very helpful. From the maid making breakfast to the security making sure that we felt safe. The rooms were clean and accurate as the pictures posted. I would suggest staying there to anyone who is visiting with a larger group.

Our stay at Salim’s place was fantastic! The house was impeccably clean and well-stocked with everything we needed. Salim was very accommodating and provided great local tips. Security was great made us feel safe and gave us great recommendations. The cook did a very good job was prompt with cooking the meals and provided us with more than enough food. We would stay again.

Excellent!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay here. We celebrated my bachelorette and couldn’t imagine a better space. Some of the showers didn’t drain perfectly but no big deal and maybe warmer blankets but other then that 10/10. Host was amazing responsive. Alexandra was perfect made us amazing breakfast and was so helpful. Security was cool too we always had someone to open the door! Can’t recommend this place enough. Would be back instantly if I was had another big group!

The stay at Salim place was excellent. The place had everything you need within walking distance. Liela made sure the rooms was cleaned on a daily basis. She prepared Breakfast and Dinner for us daily. The food was excellent and well seasoning. We gave a Liela a list of what we wanted and she went the store and purchased the items. I will definitely give her a 10 for everything. Security was also awesome. Francisco was the man. He made sure you was protected at all time. He would walk to the club with you and if someone stayed behind and wanted to come later. He would go back and get them. Anything you needed. Francisco was there to assist. I must say, the entire staff was awesome. My man who planned the boat ride also did a great job with accommodation. The entire staff was on point and i can't wait until next year to try the other 10 bedroom spot. Thanks to the team for all the hospitality and great work in making our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

This place was absolutely amazing. Hosted 12 friends and everyone was so comfortable and impressed. The concierge team will reach out and streamline anything you want to do. Use them! The staff really made all the difference - Alexandra whipped us up mega breakfasts each morning (even coming in at 5am for our last day). Blas the security guard was our guardian angel. Use him. Great location in the heart of Getsemani, but once you walk through those doors it’s really your own quiet villa. We found the layout great for the large group to have private rooms and bathrooms and comfortable lounging areas. Pool was well used. Cannot stress how great the people are. Ask them anything. Would recommend!

I must say they Airbnb was amazing for the 10 guys I had come on my bachelor trip “Last Dance” the maid was excellent with cooking breakfast and dinner for us, also washing our clothes and keeping the room cleaned. Our security Pedro is the best in the security game. Took care of us with direction to clubs and restaurants. Also making sure invited guests IDs were checked prior to entry. Love this place and will be coming back.

I recently stayed at this Airbnb and couldn't be more grateful for the experience. The location was fantastic — very active and festive, with plenty of restaurants just 2-3 minutes walking distance away. It made exploring and enjoying the local culture incredibly easy and fun. A special thank you to Carmen, who truly made the stay unforgettable. She was so caring, thoughtful, and also had a great sense of humor — it was such a joy waking up each morning to a delicious breakfast she prepared, and the house was kept spotless thanks to her daily cleaning. Her warmth and energy really made it feel like a home away from home. The security guard (I can't recall his name, unfortunately) was also amazing — very helpful in arranging taxis and making sure we weren’t being overcharged. It was very reassuring to have someone so reliable and attentive looking out for us. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and will absolutely be rebooking for future trips. Thank you again!

We had a stay with 12 people and the whole process was seamless. The air bnb was clean and as advertised, located in an optimal area where everything was walkable. The rooms were cleaned daily. All rooms had AC, which worked throughout the stay. 10/10 Would definitely recommend to anybody coming to Cartagena with a large group.

This spot is very nice! Is perfect for walking around and has good food within 50ft. Carmelita and Ricardo were also very nice, comforting, and helpful.

It was an awesome start

LOCATION!!! Place was situated right in the heart of the walled city and walking distance to many great restaurants. The house had many rooms, each with an en suite washroom, and a security guard that was available from 6pm to 6am. Host was great, very responsive and provided early check in, responded very quickly to all our questions. Highly recommend booking this spot if you have a big group.

Amida was great and always assisted us if we needed anything. The common areas and rooms were cleaned daily. Also, her breakfasts were excellent. Pedro, overnight security, was nice and helpful. The hosts were always responsive.

We had such an amazing stay at Salim's place! It's in the heart of Getsemani but honestly once you open the door it's like you're in a whole new world. The place is beautiful and pictures really don't do it justice. The concierge Damien was an angel, he answered all of our questions and helped us find a decorator who was also really lovely. We had some issues with a couple of the showers draining poorly but they sent a maintenance person over as soon as we let them know and all issues were resolved. I can't emphasize how amazing the housekeeper/ cook was she doesn't speak much English but sis can throw downnnnnnnn, I took some of those empanadas on the plane with me back home and the Sancocho was AMAZING! She's also the absolute sweetest! The security was amazing as well, he did not play about us at all lol! He even helped one of the girls when she hurt her foot, he was so concerned! I would 150% recommend this place for a large group!

I highly recommend booking your stay here. Great people and outgoing. This is right where you want to be in the old city. I would book this place every time.

Best place iv stayed so far now I have my fav spot when in CTG

Excellent location, very close to downtown Cartagena and you can walk anywhere. Carmelita and Damian's service is extraordinary and very attentive

The home was beautiful, great staff, and super helpful host, Damien who helped with booking all of our activities!

Salim's place was awesome for our group! He and the house attendants were very helpful and made us feel right at home.

Location location location This place was perfect for exploring Cartagena and specifically the getsemani area. House was perfect for our group and perfectly same to walk around

Highly recommend! We had such a wonderful stay! From the moment we booked, there was great communication from the host who also met us upon arrival. This is in a prime location - access to really wonderful bars, restaurants, coffee shops & streets in Getsemani & about a 5-10 minute walk to the old city. It's really safe and secure and quite peaceful/quiet given how close it is to some lively, vibrant spots. We also had amazing support - Carmelina made absolutely delicious breakfasts with great fruit juices! She also kept the place so clean and was so kind. While the area is really safe (& technically doesn't need a security guard), we appreciated Ricardo. He was always there to let us in & out, and helped us get bottles of water & drinks to the house while we were out and about. They helped make the stay wonderful! Airbnb is so nice - looks like the photos. We spent some time on the roof, roof jacuzzi and pool. House fans were great and appreciated the a/c in the rooms.

Great spot, everyone was extremely helpful, Alexandra was amazing! Thank you all.

Great host and service! Would come back again!

Our stay at this Airbnb in Cartagena was an amazing experience! We were a group of 24—one Colombian and 23 French people—and we truly felt at home thanks to Leila and Yamile. They made us feel so welcome, preparing delicious breakfasts every morning and making sure we had an unforgettable time. Pedro also went above and beyond to make us feel safe. He walked with us every night, picked us up, and gave us great recommendations, which made exploring the city even better. The house itself was very comfortable—everyone had their own room and bathroom, and we especially loved spending the evenings on the rooftop terrace, enjoying drinks and good company. Highly recommended!

This place was amazing for celebrating my bachelorette! Enough room for 14 of us. Great service from Ale and Blass. Very safe and convenient location

Hosts were very helpful, staff and breakfast were great. Would definitely recommend if you have a large group.

This place was perfection. We had 10 groomsmen and our stay felt so blissful. Made ensured we were extremely well taken care of from cooking us breakfast, cleaning our rooms daily and washing whatever laundry we needed. All whilst managing to stay hidden. Truly an amazing experience and I will recommend this place for any future travellers.

Salim’s place was perfect to spend a few days with friends! He was very responsive and flexible with our requests.

Nine of us booked this Airbnb for a birthday trip. We really enjoyed the property and the house matched the pictures. The kitchen and living room were great common areas to relax in. The pool was nice and the waterfall was a great feature. The house is on an active street. David the concierge was responsive and helped us book a last minute tour to Palenque, which we really enjoyed. The maid, Alexandra was so sweet. She cleaned, did our laundry and cooked a delicious breakfast each morning. You just have to give her the money to buy groceries. The house also includes a security guard from 6pm to 6am. It took us a little getting used to this because we didn't know he would be inside the house and we were a group of eight women and one man. However, he was professional and helped whenever we needed. He also escorted us to dinner and picked us up after partying. It made us feel safe. The only issues were the lack of hot water in some bathrooms and the showers do not drain very well.

This is a wonderful has in a great location.

Amazing place, felt right at home

This airbnb was very beautiful. I dont think that the pictures does it justice! We had an amazing time. Each bedroom was so beautiful and clean. We had the option of having a cook make us breakfast everyday Alejandra was amazing. We had security go with us at night time. Bliss was amazing, friendly, protective! All the girls loved him. He was kind and caring.

Had a great time, would recommend for anyone going!

This place is great.. not one complaint everytime I come to Colombia I’m only staying at this Airbnb

A very comfortable house in good condition, nice and conveniently located. I would go back

Great place. The staff are excellent. The location is fabulous as its right in the middle of such a lively area.

perfect

The house is in a very good location, we love everything, it is as described, they were always aware of our doubts, we recommend the house 100%, very nice and comfortable!

Salim’s place in Cartagena was absolutely outstanding! The house was beautifully maintained, spacious, and perfectly located—truly a slice of paradise. Every detail was thoughtfully designed to ensure a luxurious and comfortable stay. The service was impeccable from start to finish. Salim was an exceptional host, responsive and attentive to every need. A special mention goes to Francisco, the security guard, who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Not only did he ensure we felt completely safe, but he also took the time to show us around the city, sharing local insights and recommendations that made our experience even more special. This was hands down one of the best stays we’ve ever had. We can’t wait to come back—thank you, Salim and Francisco, for making our trip to Cartagena so incredible!

From the moment we arrived we felt very welcome. Alexandra, the housekeeper & Damien, the concierge from Altavida Experiences were both there to welcome us & explain everything. Alexandra did the food shopping and prepared breakfast & lunch for us. She was always cheerful & accommodating, & kept our rooms spotless. Our security person manned the door from 6 PM to 6 AM & was always alert. We never felt unsafe, but having him there added an extra layer of comfort to our stay. We had a minor plumbing issue, which was addressed within just a few hours of notifying the host. Very impressive! The location is perfect! We could easily walk to place of interest inside the walled city, and there was a restaurant just a few steps outside our door who provided delivery service. Nearby ATM, grocery, & liquor store. The common areas were spacious & aesthetically pleasing. The home reminded me of the Casita from the Disney movie Encanto. I would absolutely stay here next time I visit Cartagena 10/10

This place was amazing , definitely would rent again .

"I stayed at this Airbnb for my 35th birthday, and overall, it was a great experience. The house was beautiful, and the added security guard from 6pm to 6am made me feel safe throughout my stay. There was also a maid who cooked breakfast and lunch, and even did laundry for us. However, I would recommend not letting her do the laundry, as she accidentally mixed the clothes together, causing some of my white clothes to get stained. As for the hot water, it took a little while to warm up, but once you let it run, it was fine. Despite these minor issues, my friends and I had a fantastic time, and I would definitely recommend this place!"

This Airbnb was one of my favorites I’ve ever stayed in! David the host was incredibly kind. Carmelita and Yustin were both amazing. We were always greeted with a smile. The Airbnb itself was insane. It was the perfect spot for a group trip. There were nine of us and I feel like we barely went out to the bars in Cartagena because we loved to hang out at the Airbnb at night. So many great spots to hang out in. It was super walkable and the Airbnb looked even better than the photos. I would book this place again in a heartbeat!

The maid Laile was awesome. Her cooking was the best i have experienced. The meals were delicious and ready when we wanted. She is a blessing. The night guard Pedro was helpful and made sure we were safe at all times. This place is a gem direct in the heart of the city. Trust me this spot is great. We definitely will be back.

Thank you very much for everything! We had a great time! An excellent place to stay with a large group! Many thanks to Luz and Francisco too!
