Hi Daniel. Nice review, hoewever to make it higher rating you need to do 2 things: 1) Make sure you lay your review out like an essay, with clearly labelled headings, this makes it easier for people to see what a good review you wrote. 2) Make your review longer and more informative, write literally everything you can think of that might be helpful to another person trying to decide whether or not to buy this product/service. If you update your review please let me know, leave a message in my guest book. Have a nice day Shona by Shoka

Terrible Service
Review of Gran Hotel Bolivar, Lima by afedoro

I think you could have done with including a little more information for the higher ratings here. Take a look around at other people's reviews and you should see what I mean. Happy to re-rate if you add to this, just put a note in my guestbook to let me know when you're done. by crutchley_am
Hi and welcome to Ciao - Sorry for the low rating, but you need to put a lot more information into your review. Have a read around at similar reviews; especially those rated as very helpful or exceptional, for an idea of what people want to read in a review. If you want any help or want me to re rate, leave me a message in my guestbook - Cat x x by catrinaf

The Posada del Inca is a medium sized 4* hotel located in a deathly quiet upper class residential street in the business district of San Isidro, one of Lima's finest neighbourhoods. Surrounded by some of the most expensive real estate in the Peruvian capi ... Read review

Holidays at the hotel?
Review of Home Peru Hostel, Lima by rafaellafuente

Advantages: Safe place
Disadvantages: Nothing to do outside

Lima is not the best place to go on holidays, although some turist companies try to lie on this. This is the case of this hotel and the way they sell the city to foreigners. Yes, the hotel is nice, safe, it has facilities but only if you want to spend yo ... Read review

Advantages: weather, people, cheap (once you're there)

Tell us more. I've always been intrigued by Lima. Tell us where to visit, what to look out for and what to avoid. What about the food there? by petitesquirt
This review really needs a little more information before i can give it a higher rating. What you have said is correct, but what are travel costs, cost of living and other financial burdens of going there. What are the attractions for a tourist? If you do redo the review, let me know and I'll gladly rerat. Thanks, Bruce (bwsr2) by bwsr2

Again I am a little disappointed - I am aware that globalisation has had a dramatic effect on Lima but you could have said so much more. What is there to see, where did you stay? What are the people like? Have had to rate low therefore. by fizzytom
I have never been to Lima myself but I do recognise what you say from visiting other countries and then their capitals - it can be a shocking and unwelcome sight to see those all-powerful "arches" again can't it? Hope you are enjoying Ciao :o) Kirstyxx by Kirsty1
