We had a wonderful prepared to order breakfast each morning.

This place is amazing nothing to explicitly say as dislikes more opportunities yet realized: the outside covered patio could become a simple movie projection viewing center for scheduled movie nights. Could place a wifi extender right there and have a bluetooth or wifi projector that the tenant could connect to and play what they want the next day the cloth screen could be simply removed. Electric is already there. Also in the lobby area, there could be a swap a book bookcase for those who stay, once they finish a book they go swap a book so the next people can enjoy.

Boho Tamarindo is not just a boutique hotel—it's a feeling. From the moment we arrived, owners Laura and Clay, along with their amazing staff, made us feel like family. Their warmth, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality elevated our entire stay. If there was anything they could do to make us more comfortable, they didn’t just do it—they anticipated it. The location is ideal—just steps (barely 100 yards) from the beach and an easy walk to everything in town. Despite being so central, the vibe at Boho remains serene, relaxed, and intimate. Each morning, we were treated to thoughtfully crafted breakfast options that were as delicious as they were beautifully presented—an elegant start to each day. There have been some comments online about nearby construction noise. Speaking as someone from New York City, the noise was minimal and barely noticeable. That said, Laura and Clay go above and beyond to address any concerns—offering white noise machines, earplugs, and total transparency. Their proactive approach is just one more example of how much they care. One moment that perfectly summed up the spirit of Boho: upon our arrival, we saw Laura hand-scrubbing the outdoor flower pots. That level of pride and leadership is rare in any industry, but to find it here—at a small boutique hotel in Costa Rica—is extraordinary. Their example clearly inspires the entire team, who treat every guest interaction with sincerity and joy. The property also felt incredibly secure, with overnight security, cameras throughout, and personal safes in each room. More importantly, we felt relaxed, welcomed, and valued. That kind of comfort is something you can’t manufacture; it’s cultivated through culture and care. Boho is the only place I’d stay in Tamarindo. I can’t wait to return—again and again—not just to enjoy the space, but to reconnect with Laura and Clay.

The pool could've been maintained better with leaf/bug removal. We didn't use it.

Great location. Easy walk to the grocery, the food truck park and the rest of town for restaurants/bars. Streets we're lighted and felt safe. Friendly staff and quick service for breakfast (which was delicious). Loved the access to the beach club. The construction didn't bother us as we weren't hanging at the hotel during the day.

Cleaning service needs to improve, our room was not cleaned during the 3 nights we stayed.

Very friendly staff.

The noise around due to construction is unfortunate, but I understand there is nothing they can do. The access to the Beach club is nice but as a solo traveler I felt their service was the worst. There was a day that I went there in the morning, I was the only one there and it took one hour for someone to come check on me and bring the menu, they never returned to check if I would like to order something. On the hotel, my only request is that they need to add a blackout in the window in the closet area. Both days I woke up 6am because the room was too bright.

The room is beautiful and the pool area is very comfortable. I would come back.

Lovely staff, delicious breakfast and great facilities. Access to a local beach club also a big plus

The only thing that I did not like had nothing to do with the property. Walking at night was a little sketchy, very dark into town. It's a very quick walk, but very dark and as a solo female traveler I just made sure I took a UBER or was on property before dark.

The staff was amazing, the rooms were VERY clean and comfortable, and the property felt very safe.

It didn’t bother us but it didn’t seem to be adult only, in case others expected it to be, based on the listing.

It’s a really nice vibe, perfect location and the rooms are immaculate. It’s almost like a mix between a really good AirBnB and a hotel - in the best way. You feel hosted but there aren’t always staff around either. Kristen is brilliant and super helpful and Schneider is awesome! His breakfasts are delicious and fresh and he’s great to chat to.

Easy walk to the center of Tamarindo, with a couple restaurant and the food truck pavilion right nearby. Added bonus for a small grocery and liquor store a block away.

Stayed in April 2024

Water problems and no ice.

The breakfast was great everyday and Schneider was the friendly chef. Everybody was very friendly and helpful.

No ice on the property was the only small "disliked"

Great location! The staff was friendly and helpful.breakfast and coffee was good, I would definitely stay again.

The breakfast options diminished considerably during our 8 night stay. When it came time to come home they offered to set up a private airport transfer. The Boho set it up for 6:30 am -- we waited outside for 40 minutes for the van to pick us up and there was no receptionist present to assist or assure us. It was a bad way to begin our journey home.

The location cannot be beat. Visiting with people from across the world was fun. The breakfast was great and the breakfast service was fantastic. The rooms were comfortable, beds were great and the shower was first class.

I think the breakfast is slightly over-rated. We read the reviews and expected something out of the ordinary; not saying it was bad, but it was good and nothing more. We were still hungry and went out and ended up eating more breakfast.

It was so clean, it felt like we were the first guests at the room assigned to us. Great place, well thought out arrangements in the room. It isn’t anything super fancy, but it has everything for a comfortable stay without worrying about the cleanliness at all.

The stairs to the lower unit could be difficult for older people but not an issue for us at all.

It was clean, nicely decorated and the pool was beautiful!

There’s nothing we didn’t like about the property.

We really liked how nice and clean our room was. The pool area is also really great. The staff is pleasant and very helpful. It’s also a short walk to the beach, which was really nice.

The ants. They were everywhere in the room. Not hundreds of them. But they were there by the dozen. And when we killed a dozen, they were quickly replaced by a dozen more volunteers.

As a frequent traveler to Tamarindo, I prefer to stay in Langosta. And Boho is in a wonderful location, a very short walk to the bustle of town but quiet and peaceful for sleep and relaxation. The staff is friendly and enthusiastic in making guests feel at home, with Toni a wealth of information about the area, even for somebody that has spent too many days to count in Tama during the past two years. The chef in the morning took great pride in knowing our preferences, giving me extra avocado for my toast and remembering the ingredients my girlfriend liked in her omelette.

We had an AMAZING stay - the staff went above and beyond (including having a birthday surprise waiting in the room)! Highly recommend!

Great breakfast each morning. Johanna the owner was great, very sweet. The pool was perfect. The location was within walking distance of everything.

Stayed in July 2023

Not even applicable - everything was perfect!

The decor and ambience were perfect. Johanna and her husband Greg took care of anything we needed. We went for our wedding anniversary and my birthday and they went above and beyond to make it special for us. Each day breakfast was delicious and different. We loved our stay and will be coming back again!

Beautiful little paradise with a lovely style! But most of all great hosts who took good care before and during our stay. They comunicated and organized everything very well. And also made great breakfast. Perfect for some days of relaxing and/or exploring activities and restaurants close by.

The place has an excellent location. Everything here has a nice touch, the decoration is beautiful, the bed super comfy and the breakfast delicious!!

Nothing I didn't like! You can tell everything is well thought out and cared for.

BoHo was a phenomenal hotel. The location couldn't be better- a two minute walk to the beach and walkable to everything in Tamarindo. Johanna and her family are super responsive and answered all questions we had and made sure we were comfortable at all points of our stay. The breakfast every morning was icing on the cake- everything was delicious and was a big portion! I look forward to coming back next time we are in Tamarindo.
