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):
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.
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.).

United StatesThere is nothing I would recommend at this time, as we had all of our needs and wants met while staying there and would definitely go back.
The property has a secluded and very natural feel to it with all of the lush tropical greenery. The pool was wonderful to enjoy. The breakfast was better than we could have expected. The fresh baked goods, fruit, juices were exceptional.

United KingdomI do not like the location of our room. We saw and heard air conditioners serving the hotel's needs, and it felt like a backyard location.
It is an oasis in a busy area like Tamarindo, very calm and cosy. The breakfast and all the food in the restaurant are impressive, fresh, well-cooked and healthy, beautifully served. Nice swimming pool, but sometimes there are no available sun beds. The room was well equipped, spacious, stylish, and clean. A cleaning lady pleased our little one and us as well with funny creatures made of towels after tidying up the room

One of the most gorgeous hotels we’ve ever stayed in, staff went above and beyond to make out stay perfect in every way, complimentary cocktails on the beach for the beautiful sunsets every night were the icing on the cake. Lovely (warm) pool with howler monkeys and beautiful birds all around. Delicious breakfast. Only a short taxi ride into the centre but nice to come back to the calm! Loved every minute!

United StatesWe had a fabulous stay at Cala Luna. All of the staff were so friendly and helpful. Johnny at the front desk provided impeccable service and Eddy helped arranged multiple excursions for us. The food was amazing. Our room was clean, spacious and comfortable. A group of monkeys live right beyond the wall of the resort and we were able to observe them many times right outside of our room - so fun. We also had spa treatments and they were the best! We took the free bikes into town one day and enjoyed Tamarindo. The sunset happy hours are really special. Thank you!

United KingdomWhilst swimming at the beach is possible it is rather rocky, better to go to Tamarindo beach The pool started clean but then became rather cloudy, I suspect something broke down. Just started to improve when we left
Wildlife: Howler monkeys right out side our room, several birds and butterflies Grounds completely covered in foilage, feels like living in the jungle Secluded Access to local beach, great for sunsets and free cocktail at 5pm from the hotel Excelent service very good buffet breakfast was included Various tours on offer Electric carts for hire to travel to Tamarindo town (15 min walk or 5 min drive) Lovely pool setting with bar service, free insect repellant although insects don't seem to be major problem here Plenty of external restaraunts to vary your menu

Everything at this property was exceptional. From the staff, rooms, pool, grounds but especially THE FOOD was simply incredible. Most of their ingredients are sourced from their local organic farm and their emphasis on organic, vegetarian and gluten free options is so thoughtful, we just LOVED everything on their menu but there's plenty of meat options as well. We ate their every night and most lunches and didn't get tired of the menu, there are so many options. And the included breakfast buffet plus a la carte options is the best free breakfast I've ever had from a hotel. So fresh, healthy, delicious with so many options for someone like me who has so many dietary restrictions (gluten free, egg free and low tyramine (migraine) diet) I usually can eat nothing at a free breakfast buffet so I was SO happy and so was the entire family. Also, everything else was just wonderful, Playa Langosta beach was just steps away and much less busy from Tamarindo. Yoga classes were wonderful, the instructors were GREAT. And what hotel offers free, delicious house mixed fresh cocktails at sunset every night???!!

United StatesThe only thing we didn't love was how much we could hear our neighbors. Thankfully we only had neighbors for part of our stay but when they were there, we could hear their conversations and any tv/music they were playing...assuming they could hear us as well.
We had a great stay at Cala Luna. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was clean, comfortable and had great amenities...including sunscreen and bug repellent! The drinks at the restaurant were tasty and the breakfast delicious with a great spread of options. Love that we had access to the beach too! The grounds were lush, clean and we may or may not have seen a skunk LOL

United StatesThe bathtub and shower appeared to be a dream but once we attempted to take a bath it was filled with chunks of hair and mildew. The breakfast was a bit lack luster for the price of our stay (however the offerings from the grill were amazing) and the coffee could have been better. Also, what happened to the free cocktails on the beach?
The grounds of Cala Luna were absolutely gorgeous filled with wildlife. We loved the pool and were blown away by the restaurant. Very lovely place!

United StatesReally just some odd customer service things… we were there for our 10 year wedding anniversary (which I let them know ahead of time). I booked massages, and when we asked about being in one room, they said we would have needed to let them know ahead of time… well I think if someone is booking an anniversary trip and asks for massages, maybe you should ask if they want them together at that point? I’d just assume a couples massage would be together. Also, our actual anniversary was on the night we ate dinner at the hotel (food was outstanding) but they didn’t even acknowledge it… thought that was really weird for an upscale resort. Anyway, we’d stay again, but just lower our expectations as it relates to service/communication.
Really beautiful property and the rooms were so spacious. Some of the staff was outstanding! Great access to the beach.

United KingdomMinor issue, but the breakfast would benefit from a review .
We really enjoyed our stay, the seascape and beach error is wild and beautiful. While I was there I had a health problem and the hotel's response was amazing. They could not have been more helpful, in particular, Gabrielle, a member of the night staff was exceptional. The problem was minor in the scale of things, but a huge thank you to Gabrielle and other staff members.
