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.).

CanadaAccess on the road was not very inviting but understand the town is doing repairs. The Sat night was a rough night with the sounds of base pounding from the clubs as many visitors had mentioned. Fortunately that was only on Sat of our stay. We did have to switch rooms due to an infestation of bugs but they were accommodating. Would like to see a few bikes available to borrow, even for a few hours. Makes for a great option vs walking in the heat and to explore local neighborhoods. Maybe also switching up the breakfasts from scrambled eggs and same smoothie everyday.
The serenity of the pool area and covered terrace were a delight to come to after a day at the beach. Proximity to restaurants was a bonus.

United StatesThe wifi connection was pretty spotty. There were 4 or 5 different networks to bounce between and I'd get kicked off wifi quite frequently. It wasn't a huge deal for me but could be for someone who needs to work from the hotel.
We loved SO much about this property! First of all, the rooms exceeded our expectations. The room (we were in #3, ground level) was perfect for our family of 5. The sofa bed in the living room converted to a bed so that was perfect. It was so nice to have a little kitchen to be able to save some money and make a few meals at "home", too. We LOVED the daily breakfast -- definitely worth it to add the daily breakfast. Laura the chef was so sweet, and would go out of her way to make a separate dish for the kids if requested. We had chocolate chip and banana pancakes, eggs and sausages, eggs on a crispy tortilla with tomatoes and guacamole, the most AMAZING French toast....just to name a few. Plus the most delicious fruit smoothie each morning. Breakfast ran from 7-9 I believe, and was a highlight for us. The pool and little sand area was perfect. My kids almost never wanted to leave the property! We appreciated that there were so many other families around. The beach isn't far - maybe a 4 minute walk - and Ten North has beach chairs and a boogie board you can borrow. We also saw monkeys during our stay -- I forget the name of the lady at the front desk but she would go out of her way to point things out to us or let us know about things going on (like the nightly fire shows on the beach). All in all a FANTASTIC stay. It is not a fancy spot but it suited our needs 100% and was great for our family.

United StatesI spent 8 nights here with my family. It was a wonderful stay. It's close to all the best restaurants in Tamarindo, and also 2 blocks from the beach. The breakfast that was provided each morning was wonderful and they even made meals for my two kids and my wife who is vegan. The staff is wonderful. Also, if you're staying on Saturday, there is a farmer's market next door in the morning that has a lot of great local vendors. The hotel also helped arrange us a transfer from the Liberia Airport (thanks Karol!), and also helped arrange a tour.

CanadaThe amount of noise that enters the hotel. There’s a skate park right beside the hotel, and you can hear people skate boarding and playing basketball all night and I mean all night until 3am. There’s also a bar right beside the skate park that also plays music with a lot of bass until 3 am that you can hear and feel when trying to sleep. They did provide the room with white noise and have ear plugs at the front desk, but don’t expect to get a good nights sleep.
Close to everything. Supermarket across the street. Pool water and ice machine was nice.

United StatesWe stayed at Ten North from March 30 - April 5. We had such a wonderful experience. Our check in was super easy and Carol made us feel welcomed and relaxed. Within minutes of check in we cooled off in the pool and then headed out to explore Tamarindo. It takes five minutes to get to the beach We were a group of six with 3 rooms right alongside the pool. Each morning we had a delicious breakfast prepared by Laura. We stayed six nights and each morning we had a different breakfast. This is a smaller hotel which we really enjoyed. It’s next to a skate park and very near where they hold a farmers market on Saturdays. You can relax during the midday sun and cool off in the pool. There are plenty of restaurants within a few minutes walk from the hotel. Carol told us of a nice grocery store nearby where we could pick up ready made salads, sandwiches and rotisserie chicken. We grabbed a fresh baguette along with a small chicken and had lunch poolside on our first day. We avoided getting too much sun on our first day in town. The hotel is well kept. Our rooms were very clean and the staff do a great job keeping everything tidy. It also felt very safe. Carol helped us book an excursion The only negative comment is the noise that we heard later in the night from a club that is somewhere behind the hotel. The noise machine in the room did help a bit. We were not surprised by this as I had read similar comments before I booked. That said, I would stay here again without hesitation. The pros far outweigh that one issue.

clean and tidy room. staff helpful and polite and informative about what was around as well as providing a helpful map. pool was large and refreshing after a day at the beach. ideally located a short walk from the main strip of bars and restaurants and the beach.

CanadaIt is noisy since it is right in town. If you sit outside at the end of the day you can hear nightclub music pretty loud. But i have to say with windows closed and the sound of the AC, we did not hear it a lot in the room.
Good location because it is walking distance from the beach and the town. No need for a car. The pool with palm trees for shadow is amazing to have since it is very hot in Tamarindo. They had a boogie board available and chairs to borrow. Which is very appreciated. The staff is very helpful. The homemade breakfasts very very good. Really enjoyed that they bring breakfast at your own patio table when you are ready in the morning.

United StatesParking on site is very limited although street parking right outside the hotel is plentiful.
This was a perfect fit for our quick trip to Tamarindo. Easy walking (a block from the Main Street) to all the shops and restaurants as well as the beach. Check in was easy and very efficient - including a tour of the unit ( we had a two bedroom by the pool) to show us all the options and amenities. Breakfast (def chose the room option that includes breakfast!) was a delight. Fresh coffee and fresh made typical (eggs, chorizo, beans and rice) were served on our outside table in the morning. Everything was fresh and delicious. The pool was clean and well cared for, and lush foliage helps create privacy between the pool and the units.
