Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

AustriaIf the water is not working, it's the water pump. You need to ask at the front desk. It's OK that water is not always available, but we had to ask twice to have someone over to restart the water pump. It did work afterwards. Do it otherwise, the water will not work properly. Some of the facilities didn't work, like the coffee maker, we helped ourselves and mentioned it at the front desk, didn't help. The breakfast was rather limited, in comparison to where had stayed (for less). Staff was available more than I had read about.
We liked the pool and the location. It was close enough to the beach, maybe a 5 minutes walk. The room was big and the aircon worked perfectly. We liked our stay and would book it again. The bed was very comfortable.

United States of AmericaIt felt a little bit like a ghost town. We only ever saw one family the whole two days. Some people might love this fact, but it felt kind of deserted and boring by the pool/bar/etc. We also were disappointed that the one time we would have had a chance to swim in the pool (we were only there for 2 nights), they spent half the day fixing it (it turned green and foamy). The internet was very very slow, which is fine because we are on vacation, but if someone was expecting to get any work on their laptop done, it might have been difficult for them.
The hotel is gorgeous and in a great area--close to downtown (5 min walk) but far enough that it feels private and less noisy. Note: if you are not physically able to walk on the bumpy roads with a slight hill, this is not the best place and you should probably book at a hotel on the main streets (we are in our 20's so we were more than happy to do the very short walk each day/night). They allowed us to check in 2 hours early for free, which was a huge bonus! The breakfasts are very filling and good. The room was HUGE! We felt very comfortable there and really enjoyed having a mini fridge, microwave, and a safe. It was nice to have our own balcony too, because we were able to put our wet bathing suits and towels outside on the balcony chairs to dry. It also made it feel very private.

United KingdomThe shower in the room was terrible, there was no power what so ever, it felt like it was just dribbling out. The swimming pool was much smaller than the pictures show. Furthermore, the pictures on booking.com is quite deceiving as it makes the hotel look very spacious outside but it's not, it is very closed off. Furthermore, our room showed a balcony but it's not, it's just chairs outside our room right opposite a wall. The price of the hotel is a lot more than what you get for the place. The hotel is quite basic, therefore I felt like we over paid quite a bit for the place. However, Costa Rica is now stupidly expensive that you can barely afford anything anymore, and I'm from London, so that's saying something.
The staff were very friendly and nice, always willing to help. When we got to the room, we were greeted with a nice welcome sign, popcorn and chocolates. The room was very big, air con worked perfectly and we even had a big fridge freezer in our room so we could keep cold water and left over food. The bathroom was spacious too. The breakfast was very good and had a nice amount of choice. Furthermore, it was close to the centre so we could literally just walk a few minutes and we were there. On the first day we saw howler monkeys too and that made the stay cool! They have a gym and a play area to relax at too.

United States of AmericaI was disappointed that no one was working the pool bar when we were there. It appeared to be open, but I never saw anyone to order from until staff came out to put away the supplies at closing time. If there was a sign for how to flag attention, I missed it.
The main street of Tamarindo can be very busy, hot and dusty. Hotel Luna Llena is a cool and quiet little oasis tucked away with an easy walk to the beach. Great A/C, lovely pool, tasty breakfast, friendly staff, huge bathroom. We only stayed one night, but I would have happily stay more.
