Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaWe loved our stay here. La Ramona Charming is a lovely 5 unit hotel, just a few mins away from everything you need. The hotel is family owned. They are all very friendly and helpful. A daily breakfast is made to order and it is delicious. You won’t walk away hungry for sure! The hotel is tucked away on a quiet side street, just a 5 min walk to the shops and beach. The rooms are comfy and the wifi works well. We were a group of four and stayed in the family suite. It worked well for us. We would definitely stay again.

BelgiumMinor detail. The airco was placed right across the bed so with airco it got too cold at night, and without it was just too hot.
The location is very calm and on walking distance from the the center and beach. The hosts were very friendly to also provide breakfast before the actual hours so that we could eat before our surf class.

United States of AmericaThe road out front is not well paved and it's uphill from the beach - but those are the nature of the town and geography - just a note to visitors (not the hotel's "fault")
This hotel really is charming with a lot of attention paid to design, both outdoors and in! The rooms were modern, compact and lovely and well equipped and soundproof. There is a small refrigerator and coffee maker in the room plus great shower and comfortable bedroom with an effective air conditioner. The owner himself cooked breakfast with an assistant and it was consistently delicious -- filled us up for the whole day, served on a lovely outdoor patio. Guests can even use the hotel's outdoor microwave to heat their own tea or snacks. Staff cleaned the room every day which is nice in a beach area - you can't believe how much hidden sand one tracks in from the beach. Each room has a unique outdoor sitting area and the pool is small but perfect for cooling off after a hot Costa Rican day. There are many many restaurants and stores within walking distance. We did walk to the beach every day - it took 10 - 15 minutes depending on which area we went to. The owners were delightful and helpful. All of this for a price considerably lower than other area hotels. They are building some new units which is good news for anyone who wants a charming short term stay in Tamarindo.

A lovely, intimate, hotel set a little away from the hustle and bustle of Tamarindo. Although only 5 min walk from restaurants. Owner and staff were really helpful. Room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Outdoor shower was a great feature, as was the swinging chair.

CanadaWe liked everything about the property and our stay. We were welcomed by the hosting family and were allowed to store our luggage as we arrived earlier than check-in. We love that the hotel is family-owned, and the rooms were spotless. The outdoor shower in our room was a nice surprise. Our patio featured a swinging chair which became a favourite spot for reading or catching up on emails. The property is not beachfront, but after a day at the beach or in the centre, we were happy to return to our quiet retreat located a short walk away from all the hustle and bustle.

The staff at this hotel were so lovely, they went above and beyond to make sure we were well looked after - including giving us some excellent restaurant recommendations! The rooms were very modern and stylish, the pool area was also very modern. We really enjoyed the breakfast. The hotel is very small so felt very welcoming and personal. Location is great - just away from the busyness of the town so very quiet, but only a short walk (5 minutes) to the town.

CanadaFor thosw who don't have a car and walk to the beach, it's a bit far. But if you're at the beach all day and want to have dinner near the hotel, there is lots of nice places to choose from.
Large room with king size bed. Shower was also good sized. Small pool but large enough to feel like you're going for a dip ! Good breakfast in the morning which was included in our stay. Would stay again.

Great cozy hotel. There are just 5 rooms, so I would say it is like a botique hotel. Rooms are spacious and extremly clean. Breakfast was tasty. Just 7-8 min walking to the beach and 3 min, 5 min to the main street and 3 min to the supermarket. Location is safe. There was also a parking spot right in front of the hotel that was important for us. Pavel - the owner and general manager - was nice and very helpful.

CanadaYou have to walk down the dirt road to get to the beach which gets dusty with the traffic. It isn't ideal but this is not the faulty of hotel.
Everything here was amazing but the staff and service were above and beyond. You couldn't have asked for better service. It really was above and beyond. We loved the morning breakfast as well as the fact that there are only 5 rooms in this hotel so you really do get the secluded feel we were looking for.
