How guest reviews work
Each 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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Verified reviewFirst time in Costa Rica and this is definitely the best hotel, the breakfast is awesome which is cooked for you in the morning and you have a choice of what to eat, it was definitely enough for half a day 😉.

Verified reviewLa Ramona Charming Hotel truly has it all—this is hands down the best place to be in Tamarindo. From the moment I arrived, the staff’s friendliness and warmth made me feel right at home. The breakfast each morning was absolutely incredible—fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented.

The common area is gorgeous, complete with a sparkling swimming pool that’s perfect for cooling off in the afternoons. I felt completely safe and relaxed the entire time. If you’re coming to Tamarindo, look no further—this is where you want to be.

Verified reviewLa Ramona Charming Hotel is a hidden gem. It’s tucked away in a quiet, peaceful area, so you can truly relax and unwind—but it’s also just a short walk to the beach and all the vibrant restaurants, shops, and nightlife Tamarindo has to offer. Waking up to the sound of birds instead of traffic was such a treat, and then being able to stroll to the ocean in minutes made it even better. It’s the perfect blend of tranquility and convenience, and I can’t imagine a better location.

Verified reviewBreakfast was great. Location was perfect. Far enough from the center of town so it’s very peaceful and quiet. And at the same time very close to the center. A perfect location.
The bathroom door doesn’t give enough privacy in the bathroom. Also it would have been nice to have some sort of separation between the twin bed and the beds across from the tv. Price ways it was a bit too expensive.
Dear Natan, Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We’re truly happy that you loved the pool, the natural beauty, the peace and quiet, and of course, our Costa Rican breakfast. We’re also glad the location worked perfectly for you — both peaceful and close to town! Regarding your comments: the room price reflects accommodation for three guests and includes a full, traditional Costa Rican breakfast, daily cleaning, access to all our amenities, and the unique atmosphere we work hard to maintain. As for the bathroom door and room layout — thank you for your suggestions. While we understand your point, adding a divider or wall would not align with the open and natural aesthetic of the space. We strive to balance comfort with design, and we appreciate your understanding. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back in the future! Warm regards, Pavel

Verified reviewI LOVE staying here. I have stayed here before and booked it again for this trip!! It is quiet, which is important in Tamarindo. The walk to the beach is easy and I would do it every morning. It's also easy to get to the stores, grocery and restaurants . I even walked home at night with no problems. This time I stayed in a new room which was LARGE, comfortable incredibly clean and very quiet. the other rooms are also quite large, fun outdoor showers and very clean. My favorite part of staying at La Ramona is it's small, but still private. And the owners treat you like family. There's breakfast every morning, which they make for you!! They have a guard at night and locked gate, even though it feels very safe in this area. They have also added little gym which is perfect to keep up a workout routine if you want to. The location really can't be beat and is really one of the best places for the money.
