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.).

From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at ease. The service was warm and attentive, the location just steps from the beach was unbeatable, and the food – simply delicious every single day! Surfing with the kids was such a fun experience – safe, exciting, and unforgettable. And for the little animal lovers: the resort is full of wildlife! We saw monkeys, raccoons, adorable squirrels, and even iguanas. If you’re looking for relaxation, comfort, adventure, and a welcoming atmosphere for the whole family, this is the place to be. We wholeheartedly recommend it and are already looking forward to our next stay. A true hidden gem for anyone in need of a seaside escape with a special touch of nature

United StatesWe liked everything but would suggest some different menu selections day to day. A few specials each day, for instance. The food overall was very good.
It was immaculate and absolutely gorgeous landscaping and facilities. It really felt like paradise and the staff were so friendly and attentive. We didn’t wander very far because we were so happy to enjoy their grounds. The Costa Rican wood crafted throughout the rooms and to make the furniture was beautiful. The conscious effort to provide a haven for all the creatures of the area added delight to our stay. Monkeys, birds, iguana, property dogs and cats were added entertainment. Very relaxing and peaceful.

The location, atmosphere and staff were perfect. The general relaxed friendly vibe was consistent from the moment we entered the hotel to the minute we left. You feel like the employees are well trained, well treated and well selected. They have genui9ne pride and love for their jobs.

Our family enjoyed our stay at Capitan Suizo! It met and exceeded out expectations. We had upstairs rooms with balconies- that were beautifully designed and a pleasure to come back to. The service was so friendly and every one made our stay a pleasure. The grounds, the pool and the location on the beach were perfect. I would have disliked staying in Tamarindo town as it is quite touresty and loud but we were far enough away to feel apart from it. The restaurant served a great menu and we enjoyed eating there most nights.

United StatesCan't think of anything.
Fantastic location, right on the beach at south end of Tamarindo - easy to walk into town, yet much quieter. Beautiful, spacious and very clean bungalow accommodation. Very friendly staff and excellent, reasonably-priced food in the restaurant.

United StatesThe Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel was a nice place, but it had a couple issues that made it slightly less than perfect. The pool was always full of pollen and leaves(it is surrounded by beautiful trees and they did clean it regularly but it seemed they never could catch up. Also, there were too many kids running around and screaming,.
I recently stayed at the Capitán Suizo Beachfront Boutique Hotel in Tamarindo. The hotel staff were outstanding throughout my stay, from the front desk to the restaurant and other areas of the property. The on-site restaurant served delicious food, and there were always chairs available by the pool and the beach. The hotel is located on the quieter end of Tamarindo beach, which was a nice change of pace.

United KingdomParts of the hotel were quite tired. The furniture in the communal areas was worn and could have done with being updated. Usually such details wouldn’t be the end of the world, but when you’re paying very expensive rates for a room you do expect a certain level of luxury. The food at the restaurant at dinner was average at best and therefore we felt it was overpriced. We also struggled to get help from the front desk with the coffee machine when we couldn’t get it to work, which again was a little frustrating given the price paid for the room.
Great rooms! Very clean, comfortable and spacious. The location in relation to Tamarindo town was great too - quiet and out of the way, whilst still being close to the amenities of the town. The grounds were also absolutely beautiful and clearly really well maintained. The service was as also wonderful - with all the staff being extremely friendly and hospitable.

United StatesNothing. We would return in a heartbeat. Service in restaurant was a bit slow at dinner first night but it was busy and I think our waiter was still learning. Not really a complaint … we were very happy with everything.
The staff at Capitan Suizo was just wonderful in every respect! Property is beautiful and beautifully maintained. Beach is private and quiet. Away from the craziness of Tamarindo, but close enough to visit it easily. Lots of fun activities and concierge service is excellent. We especially appreciated the ladies at the breakfast/lunch service … SO friendly and helpful. Thanks all, especially Natalia!
