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.

Great way to use an old railway station

July 2019 • Couples

This is a perfect use of an old railway station. There is a place in the middle for people to come study. It is kept beautifully clean and the roof is worth coming to see alone. Pop your head in for a 5 min look as you wander around the old town.

Art Nouveau interior

May 2015 • Solo

A few blocks north of Plaza Mayor is a lovely former train station. Walk down Carabaya or Lampa to view some charming old buildings. The interior of Estacion de Desamparados contains an atrium with a stunning stained glass ceiling and grillwork. It now houses a library in honor of Garcia Lorca. Free.

They did well

June 2024 • Couples

Turning an old train station into a literary space was a brilliant idea. And still pass trains there in their backs. There is a good explanation of literature there, and of course there is a highlight to the most famous one. All in a beautiful old building!
