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

CanadaThe location of Blue Apartments was great. It was a short walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping. The pool was I really nice bonus at the end of the day after spending your time at the beach. Security was great. We were able to check in early and apartment was clean, comfortable and adorable.

United StatesThey had a laundry room but I couldn’t wash my clothing independently in the afternoon at 2pm. They wouldn’t let me. I had to ask the staff early in the morning to washing my clothing. This was inconvenient for a few reasons: (1) washing clothing in the morning forgoes washing the clothing I had worn for the day; (2) I don’t want strangers sorting through my private clothing; (3) this rule was not communicated to me till it was my last day and now I had a full bag of dirty clothes that went unwashed; (4) I can just do it myself, it was only 2pm well within a reading timeline.
Clean, walking distance to the town, big space, pool.

United StatesThe room was sufficient for what we paid. Does the place need some updating? Absolutely! For what we paid we got what we expected, and we were comfortable.
Location was excellent! Close enough to town/beach but far enough that you didn’t have to hear the hustle and the bustle.

Costa RicaSome suggestions but not a blocker. I guess sanitary products like soap and shampoo could be provided, as well as some additional towels. I asked for a Filter for the coffee pod, and it was provided very quickly. Room cleaning was not offered proactively but then it was near Christmas and I understand the availability of staff could be difficult.
It was a nice comfortable room with a Patio.

Tamarindo Blue Apartments offers a comfortable stay with a great location near the beach and local restaurants. I appreciate the spacious apartments and well-maintained pool area, though some noted that the property requires maintenance, particularly in the pool and bathroom facilities. The staff is friendly and accommodating, enhancing the overall experience. Overall, it's a good value for those seeking a relaxed atmosphere in Tamarindo.
