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.

A 4 star hotel instead of 3 and a cafeteria not to tread

Sept 2024 • Couples

The hotel is fine in great lines, I don't consider it 3-star, but it's clean and everything right at 3-star level
To contact by telef is almost impossible
The cafeteria is level 1, clean and correct, they have no wine list and how little they cook well

can be pretty

Apr 2024 • Family

Beautiful, but I think they should open it more or inform about the opening.
I stayed with its history, its reforms, etc. but I couldn't go up. I don't know if it was possible either.
Asset of Cultural Interest in our heritage and in a Plaza with a lot of history and relics.

Mangana tower

Nov 2017 • Solo

It is uncertain when Mangana tower was originally built, because it appears in the evidented history just recently, in 1565 as a detail on the painting. But it is certain that fortress system, upon which tower is raised, is of Arabic origin and served as southern entrance area to Arabic fortress-town of Kunka. Perhaps it was abandoned when Castillan rulers expanded Cuenca further south, with Lower town which was defended by new set of walls and gates and from then losing its function. Fortified site was destroyed in wars, earthquakes and even thunderbolts throughout history and apperance of Mangana tower of today (as a bell tower) owns to its renovations from 20th century, in years 1926 and 1968.

In general, if you are not tight in time it is nice to visit this location, but if you`re busy in exploring restaurats, churches, museums or with hiking around Cuenca do not bother to visit (fortified site could be also conserved a little better). Although, Mangana tower would be great attraction if climbing on top to enjoy the views, was allowed.

Unsympathetic architecture

Oct 2019 • Friends

Not much to say about this. The history that has been entombed below, is sufficiently obscured by steel I-beams, dirty windows and ducting, that it's not worth much more than a glance on the way to the car park.

Poor, unsympathetic architecture makes the space look incomplete and the concerns of earlier reviewers realised.

Huge Clock Tower

Sept 2021

This tall clock tower sits in the old Muslim section of the city and dominates the skyline in that area. It's worth stopping to see.

Medieval tower in the Jewish Quarter

Aug 2021

A medieval clock tower look into the Jewish quarter of the city. It's a very interesting walk and you see very old buildings and get a real feel of the town from this area.

In an area being developed

Sept 2019 • Couples

The tower is interesting to see but is in the middle of a historic area which is currently being developed. It is part of an ancient Jewish and Muslim site with various stone remains being preserved. I imagine it will be quite something when it's complete

Bad restauration

Feb 2016

Newly renovated in a less than impressive way. Definitely not a must to see in Cuenca. Rather an area to avoid.
