Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

CanadaElisa and the staff were all incredible and very friendly. The place was quiet and vey well kept. Breakfast (which was included) was always spot on! Probably the best avocado toast we’ve ever had! Although the place was in the centre (can walk anywhere in 2-3 minutes) it was on a quiet side road so it was not busy and we were able to relax and not feel like we were in the middle of all the caos.

United StatesNothing - it was great!
Great location - short walk to beach and town. Not in a noisy area. Small pool but big enough to swim some laps. Elisa makes delicious made-to- order breakfasts and the coffee is delicious , too. The room was comfortable with plenty of storage space to get out of the suitcase. The common space is great for breakfast and just chilling.

I absolutely loved my stay at Elixir Hotel! 🌟 This is not your typical touristy resort; it's a unique gem. Run by the owner, who prepares made to order breakfast from a few options she makes available daily. The rooms are cleaned daily, and Eliza even maintains the pool herself. Waking up to nature's sounds and stunning sunrises was magical. Plus, it's just a 5-minute walk from Tamarindo's city center, perfect for nightlife enthusiasts. Countless beachfront restaurants, food courts, and vibrant street markets await! 🌅🏝️🍽️ Most importantly I felt comfortable and safe my entire stay & as a solo traveler that’s number one for me. I had to rush out to catch my transportation that showed up early!!! I was rushing so bad but Elize still managed to make me breakfast to take on the road with me!! Y’all that AVOCADO TOAST!!!!! 🔥😍👌🏾

United StatesThe arrival process was easy and the owner and staff were kind and helpful. The breakfast was consistent and tasty and where the property is located supported us in relaxing. We had great access to the local amenities/restaurants and the beach, while feeling removed enough that the hotel was quiet. Thanks to Lisa and staff for a wonderful stay and highly recommend.

GermanyNothing worth mentioning.
Everything was absolutely amazing! Elisa is a great host, she gave me a lot of valuable information. It was so nice that she makes breakfast for each guest herself. It gives you a feeling that you’re not in a hotel, but just visiting your friend. Her avocado toast has already become a legend!😍 The furniture in the room is quite new, one has everything one needs for a comfortable stay. There’s no kettle in the room itself, but one can easily get some hot water (and cold) water 24/7 on the ground floor. A big supermarket is pretty close to the hotel, and there are a lot of restaurants and food courts in the area. Tamarindo beach is 7-10 minutes walk, which was absolutely okay for me.

CanadaI agree with other reviewers on the bed and pillows not being as comfortable. Same with the couches in the suite. This was not a big deal for us as were out most of the day, we still really enjoyed our stay.
The property is set up well and is walking distance to everything in Tamarindo. The pool is beautiful, AC in our suite was great (get the suite if I’m your budget the extra space is worth it). Right across the street and down the street that you can go to. Supermarket and banks also close by. Elisa is also such and sweet and knowledgeable host - she was on top of everything at the property.
