Bondo Estudio had everything as advertised. I booked the family apartment for myself and 3 friends for 10 nights and it was perfect. Rooms were very clean and elegant, the kitchen had all the essentials for making a quick meal and coffee. I really enjoyed the rooftop terrace , that had the pool , jacuzzi and lounging area. It was kept clean at all times and had some good music for ambiance. The bar on the rooftop also had drinks and food which were fantastic. The room service was timely and the hotel staff were very professional. Oscar Garcia went above and beyond to make sure our stay went well and everyone was taken care of. He helped us with anything we needed or if we had questions about Cartagena in general . Overall highly recommend Bondo Estudio.

My time at Bondi Estudio was generally great! It’s right in front of the beach, the rooms were super cold (which was great for the heat), and most everything was beautiful! They had security guards on the property 24/7 which was great! Although it’s right on the beach, it’s not the most walkable area just because of the busy streets. It is a 5 minute drive to the walled city, which was super convenient. I would have loved to walk there but I was concerned slightly for my safety, as the area outside of the hotel did not seem completely secure. My only issues were when I got to the hotel, the sheets on the bed had stains and there were a good amount of ants on the floor. They sent someone up immediately to help; she changed the sheets and swept away the ants. After this night, there were never as many ants but a few would always linger. These same ants were also on the rooftop so I had to regularly swipe them away when laying to tan. That would be my only critique. Other than that, it was a great stay and I would definitely come back, I would just love for them to address the ants if possible!

The suite was in a beautiful 12 story building across from the Marbella beach area. We enjoyed a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea and the city skyline. We also had a chance to swim in the rooftop pool and lounge in the large jacuzzi. The rooftop bar had a great selection of drinks. All the staff was excellent, although the reception “desk” could be more responsive (don’t look at your phone while a guest is asking you a question). Also the lobby cafe had great coffee and food.

We stayed here for one evening and it was a great place! The style and layout is what attracted us and it was much better in person. We did have one issue with our stay which is why I deducted one star from our overall rating. And what really flattered us was that the Bondo team had sent a letter and complimentary desert to our next hotel within 1 hour of our arrival. Not many would go above and beyond sych as the Bondo Team did. Thank you!!

Le logement était beau, grand, très propre et bien aménagé. Nous avons profité des piscines sur le toit et la vue y est magnifique. Il est à noter que l'emplacement est assez bruyant. Également, nous aurions apprécié que de l'eau potable soit disponible facilement au lieu d'avoir à en acheter à l'extérieur. Je recommande tout de même cet hôtel! :) 5/5

Communication wasn't good at all. The ladies who worked at the 1st cafe showed ZERO communication with us. When we wanted to order, we had to put the menu in their faces EACH time for a simple acknowledgement. The laundry's option was off site with absolutely no one able to tell us exactly what times we could get it done when we clearly asked several times. One of the 2 elevators were down most of our stay. The rooftop pool was okay but the hot tub pool never got hot. The only time we enjoyed that place is taking an Uber to go somewhere else! We were not impressed and would not stay there again.

We had an amazing stay at Bondo. We had an awesome view of the beach from our balcony. The rooftop pool and bar was a huge plus for nights that we wanted to stay in. The front staff was very kind and helpful. Our only negative experience was a lack of housekeeping. We had left for three days to explore the islands and requested a single housekeeper visit during that time which did not occur; other than that small mishap I would rate this 5 stars. I would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area. Close to the airport and seamless travel to the downtown area.

Upon arrival we noticed that the room was not clean enough. Also there were ants running around the rooms. The bathrooms were not up to par I noticed water leaking from the base of the toilet. The shower need to be updated with smaller shower head the drains need to be located in the center of the shower to prevent water overflowing. The staff was very helpful and answered all our questions. The cafe food was very good, the menu were both in English and Spanish very good selection of food. Love the roof top pool with bar, drinks were very well made and the view are great.
