Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Lovely Historic Bastion

Jul 2022 • Friends

One of many beutiful bastions along the historic walls of Cartageba. There are great views of both the sea/coast as well as the old town within the aalls.
Some cannons here and there. The best way to discover such bastions is to just mount the walls and just stroll.
