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 reviewWell maintained bed and breakfast that offer you quite place, comparing the noise and crowd on the beach avenue. We have seen the group of howling monkeys, they tried to colonize the huge tree. We also enjoy the company of a cat whenever we have food outside. The space have two pools in two different area, both are well designed. We can use both space, so we stay in the hotel longer than any other travel we did.

Verified reviewIt was peaceful and the staff members were lovely. Danielle was so helpful, and the team created a welcoming environment. It was nice to be able to have breakfasts on site.
As a solo traveller it is important to take precautions on the side streets, as you would in any country.
Thank you, Tanis, we appreciate your review!

Verified reviewProperty is beautiful, common areas are great and cozy, the breakfast was excellent and service was great. I am amazed that they put emergency self care kits while other hotels and places don’t do it. Loved the place and probably will book again soon.
The parking lot is outside on the street and there is a guard but still not 100% safe. Either way is not a busy street so no danger whatsoever.
Thank you Ricardo, we appreciate your review!

Verified reviewLovely location! Beautiful flowers and set up. Great sightings of monkeys. Convenient breakfasts.
Room lit by patio doors ( windows) but they face office and main entrance so had to keep blinds down for privacy
Thank you for your kind review! We would like to clarify that all rooms feature glass doors facing the garden and come with blackout curtains for privacy. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great stay!

Verified reviewBreakfast was delicious with good options. Location is good.
Pool area was often littered with leaves which was not inviting.
Hello John, We are so happy you enjoyed our breakfast. With the windy season it is very hard for our gardens and trees to not litter. We will try our best to improve this. Thank you!

Verified reviewThe workers are very nice & the place was well upkept, (didnt take many pics of hotel). But It is off the main street so a bit more quiet with a short 5-10 min walk to main area, lots of food & nightlife close. Also The breakfast lady was very nice and made delicious food. For me and my boyfriends first trip together it was very pleasant thank you again, would definitely come back.
Thank You Miyah! We truly appreciate your review. We will be waiting for your next stay at Casa Leona!

Verified reviewThe room was spacious and well appointed. Really loved the balcony overlooking the beautifully landscaped property and the large tree that drew birds and howler monkeys! Patio and lounge chairs were nice, as was the resident cat we named Señor Gato! Breakfasts were good
The staff member who greeted us never gave her name and the language barrier (Spanish/English) made it a little difficult to follow her instructions for check in.
Thank You Claudia! We truly appreciate your review.

Verified reviewGrounds here are lovely and well maintained. Close to everything. Its a very short 3-minute walk to the little Thursday night market and approximately 5 mins to the centre of town & the beach. Staff here were all very nice.
Nothing we didn't like. It was a little challenging to find in the dark as the Casa Leona sign was very discrete.
Thank you Jackie, we will definitely work on that soon!

Verified reviewA beautiful little hotel, the enclosed yard was very pretty and a quiet spot to relax in.
The Tamarindo sewage problem and no paper flush was an annoyance, not the hotels fault. The roads good use some maintenance.
Thank you for your review William, unfortunately like you mentioned, the town's sewage and roads are out of our hands. However if it's possible, we will always help to better these issues!

Verified reviewI was very pleased with my stay at Casa Leona. I was there from November 9-14th 2024. It is about a 15 minute walk or so from the centre of Tamarindo up off the busy main road on a quiet neighbourhood side street the allows you to be in a beautiful green oasis! There were even some Howler Monkeys way up in trees while I was there. The main road to town has no sidewalk and you’ll be walking on the edge of the asphalt as vehicles go around you and your fellow visitors. The room amenities allow you to have meals in to save some money, the rooms are cozy with good AC, I was in a top floor deluxe unit which has a peaked roof the gives a more spacious feel, a large shared covered balcony to hang out on between activities or rain. There is a gazebo with couches to lounge in and a pool as well. Breakfast was excellent with a few choices from a set menu, from a hearty La Tica which is a local breakfast with fruit to lighter fair such as croissants. Most properties here have fences and locked gates and it’s the same at Casa Leona, plus there is a friendly night guard who watches the parking area. The friendly staff work diligently to keep the property clean and tidy. Just a reminder, some rooms have hot water and others do not so make sure to read the room descriptions carefully. I highly recommend Casa Leona for its location, peace and quiet, all the lush greenery that screens you from neighbouring properties, a good breakfast and overall ambiance!
Nothing to dislike, all good!
Thank You Bryan, this is lovely detailed review and we truly appreciate your time to write it.

Verified reviewIt was a beautiful property in lovely setting surrounded by well kept gardens. A great swimming pool and nice outdoor area under cover if it rained. The breakfasts were amazing and freshly made for us. The staff were so friendly and really appreciated the use of a washing machine as first one in Costa Rica without having to find a laundry. 5 minute walk to supermarket and a bit further to shops.
