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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesHow cute their bathroom was made our bathroom back home look like a mess! Truly, Tamarindo Sunshine was perfect.
This hidden gem just a block from the edge of the busier Tamarindo was everything we were looking for and more. Close to the beach, close to the town, quiet, AC was amazing, staff was phenomenal!

FinlandOnly negative is the excessive need to point rules, it takes away the peace of mind, you are more concerned about not breaking a rule than enjoying the staying.

United StatesNot particularly sound proof units. You will be able to hear your neighbors, and they you, during your stay. As long as you are respectful of that you will have no issues.
This is a perfect and peaceful oasis in Tamarindo. Close to everything but perfectly situated, just short walk either way, between Tamarindo city center and Playa Langosta. The best aspect of Tamarindo Sunshine are the wonderful owners and staff. Your room will be clean and kept clean during your visit. Expect the typical Tamarindo issues due to the areas growth, like periodic water and electricity failure, but nothing that ever rises to the level of being a real nuisance. You will feel safe and at home here during your stay.

Great location, close to the Bach and easy walk to restaurants. We appreciated having a patio and access to the gardens and outdoor kitchen. I spent the early morning enjoying a coffee in the hammock.

SwedenThis place is amazing!! Like a little hidden paradise and literally only 3 mins from the beach. The host Emanuel was super friendly and helpful. The place is taken care of so well, the garden and especially all the little decoration details outside and in the room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious as well as the bathroom. Only for this place I would go back to Tamarindo :)!!

AustriaBeautiful apartments located within a small garden, outside of the busy area, but within 10min of waking distance. Easily the most comfortable apartment we've had in Costa Rica. Excellent communication with our hosts, we received a detailed document with recommendations and instructions upfront and someone was always available at the office for questions or just a friendly chat. Beach equipment was available free of charge. Amazing, highly recommend staying here. PS: to escape the crowds, check out Playa Langosta!

United StatesThere was nothing I did not like. Everything was amazing.
The facility has many gardens making the atmosphere feel very natural. The outdoor kitchen was kept very clean. The place was designed very charming with lots of personality. I felt safe and comfortable with Tamarindo Sunshine. The staff was very attentive. I would stay here again. The bathroom was very spacious, with room for plants in the shower. The room was big with lots of natural light. I loved everything about this place.

The photos don’t do justice to the place, room was bigger than we thought, there is a very cute garden, a shared kitchen super useful if you want to make snacks, coffee machine and coffee in the room, outdoor shower, beach towels.. honestly everything was perfect and well thought. Emmanuel at reception was great and gave us lots of valuable info at checkin. Would definitely come back.
