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):
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.).

The accommodation is extremely well thought out, modern and clean. The breakfast every morning was delicious and different everyday with the chef even taking special care to cater for our picky teenagers. The team at Epic provide second to none service, helping with any and every request, from food deliveries, support with our rental car to restaurant recommendations and recommendations for tours and excursions.

United StatesWe had an amazing stay at Epic Tamarindo with our family! Arnold and the team went above and beyond to make us feel special—every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The villa was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed. Breakfast each morning was exceptional, with delicious food and outstanding service. Highly recommend for a relaxing and memorable getaway.

United StatesWhile breakfast was delicious, the experience felt a bit rigid. You must reserve a time the night before, and there’s no menu...just a surprise meal based on your preferences and allergies. Our first morning featured phenomenal pancakes that were never offered again. In hindsight, we could have asked for specific foods, but we didn’t know what the options were. A small menu and slightly larger portions would improve the experience. The main infinity pool closes around 7pm (understandably, as it’s near the villas and gets dark by 6pm). Each couple’s suite has its own small pool, but ours often had bugs and debris. A heated pool or hot tub open later (like 9–10pm) would’ve been a nice option, as other hotels offer. Our suite had some water leakage issues, but they were resolved quickly. However, the room lacked a safe for valuables, which would have been appreciated. Also, there’s very little privacy within the suite: no doors for the bathroom or shower. While this is common in modern couples’ hotels, we still would’ve preferred some separation to change in private. Finally, like many (but not all) Costa Rican hotels, toilet paper can’t be flushed. You’re expected to discard used paper in a small trash can beside the toilet. For guests from the U.S., this can be a jarring adjustment. Unfortunately, the smell of shit can drift into the bedroom before the trash is emptied, which detracts from an otherwise romantic atmosphere. We understand it's a regional infrastructure issue, but travelers should be prepared.
My girlfriend and I stayed three nights in a couple's suite at this beautiful boutique hotel, and we loved so much about it. The suites and villas are all brand new, modern, and beautifully designed. The main infinity pool offers stunning views of the surrounding nature, forest, and hills. And the property is made even more charming by roaming peacocks and a friendly cat. Arnoldo was especially helpful with recommendations and service requests. His tip to visit Gracia at Mar Vista in Flamingo was a highlight. (Book a 5:00–5:30pm dinner reservation to catch the ~6:00pm sunset.) Housekeeping was excellent, cleaning twice a day and restocking our filtered water daily. Our suite was spacious, private (no shared walls or sight lines), well-equipped, and luxurious. The bed was large and very comfortable, and all appliances worked perfectly. Breakfast was served next to the pool with a beautiful view and felt like a personalized experience. We visited in the “rainy season” of late May and loved the quiet, intimate feel, with only a few other guests around. The small size of the hotel (about 12 rooms total) made it feel exclusive and serene. The location is peaceful and secluded, yet only a 15-minute drive from downtown Tamarindo or Flamingo. On our first morning, I got a flat tire, and the maintenance staff helped change it while Arnoldo directed us to a nearby shop for repairs—turning a potential trip-bummer into just a minor inconvenience. The staff here truly went above and beyond.

United StatesThis place is absolutely amazing!!!
Stop searching and book now. This place (the "Epic Boutique Hotel Tamarindo", Costa Rica) is an oasis, offering both family suites and couples (which each come with an individual small pool) there is a larger pool, and everyone can use. The breakfasts are delicious, made with love, each day offering a new Costa Rica inspired flavor (you can also request a traditional omelet, egg made your way and more). Arnold and the rest of the staff are fantastic, making sure your every need is met, restaurants recommended, offering favorite spots to visit, and more. Arnold set up a yoga instructor to come on site, it was wonderful. This spot is an oasis for those couples needing to reconnect, girl and guy friend get away, looking to sit at a bon fire and catch up, swim in the morning sun , families looking for a great spot away from the busy beaches, but close enough to be at flamingo or Tamarindo within a 10-20 min drive. Cannot say enough great things, this is boutique, catered experience, come see for yourselves ♥️💕😎

Incredible first class attention from Arnoldo, all the staff and the chef. Rooms are spacious, new and clean, and the private pool is just excellent. The smaller size of the hotel allows you to receive an ad-personam treatment that it’s impossible to get even at the best hotel chains. Totally recommended!

CanadaWas a bit strange to see such a perfect property, with significant funds invested, but with virtually the entire property covered in less than perfect artificial turf … would benefit hugely from a garden consisting of the beautiful and colourful plants natural to the area. Also needed to make a half hour trip into town for dinner, with very poor night time driving conditions. Otherwise, a perfect property!
The room was a unique masterpiece of design, and extremely comfortable. Our host was more than willing to assist us each day in arranging for places to see and things to do. Breakfasts were good.
