The property was unliveable, we had to leave and buy a different hotel. Never received a refund, although we checked out within an hour.

A few disappointments. It's a hostel and you have to hide or walk far to smoke a cigarette or drink a beer. The restaurant is very costy and they don't allow us to sit by the pool with our own food or drinks. Bathrooms were not so clean and our room in 4 days was never cleaned.

Arrived to the property with one booking for 4 nights, initially they couldn't find our booking but turns out that they had overbooked the rooms. We ended up having to move rooms nearly every day - and were initially expected to spend the time between check out and check in without a room, until we had a stern word with management that this was unacceptable. Reception staff and management made out that they were doing us a favour by finding us a room and blaming us for booking through Expedia - we did suggest that perhaps they shouldn't list the hotel on Expedia if they don't want people to book through this website....The bar/restaurant staff were amazing though!!

I was expecting a lot more from Selina, a chain which I like a lot. The room was a tiny caravan, the staff was not welcoming, the check-in was super slow, and the breakfast was not good. The atmosphere was good, and the hot water was fine. I wouldn't recommend.

The rooms were small. the shower flooded the bedroom. the receptionist didn’t do anything except bring extra towels. we didn’t get any kind of compensation and all of our things got wet. When we checked out we told them about everything that happened but they didn’t care.

This property is still in the works , the room I got wasn’t the one in the pic posted on . So felt deceived . The staff is wonderful . It would be nice if they would inform the residents before they turn off the water for hours some days .

Beautiful set up at the hostel, great staff and would definitely come back!

We found it a bit overpriced, and not so clean. Shower was ok at the morning, but throughout the day not so clean. Not the best Selina we stayed at so far

Great location! I think this is a great stay for a solo traveler especially since there’s a sense of community and activities daily

Normal

Great experience, great location. The staff were awesome, very welcoming and comfortable for a solo traveler! Muchas Gracias. Great surf instructors too, took a lesson and actually surfed! Lol

Having stayed in a number of Selinas, this one is by far the worst. The place looked like it had been bombed. For what you pay there are far better options in Tamarindo. This place had no hot water and the locking system never worked properly. The location in central, but then again everything in Tamarindo is central, it is a small place.

Really liked the 4-bed dorm (small dorm). The 6-bed dorm was a little bit to small so it got tight. Nice bar and pool area! Amazing staff! Location is perfect; really close to the parties (just 3-5 min walking) but still in a quiet street.

Stayed in Selina in other cities as well. It’s always good! Clean and good facilities. The girl who checked me in was especially nice! But everybody is really nice there :) food breakfast, loved the pancakes

Pros:- Great vibe (especially for hostel style, solo travellers)- Great amenities, pool, pool table etc...- Great location- Food/restaurant/bar is goodCons:- rooms need updating, very dirty and dated. - Shower didn’t work well (always cold)- Bed was mediocre, not that comfy. - Bathroom light rarely worked- wifi was OK, kept cutting out

They do not clean the rooms everyday. Stayed last week doe BPM, and will never not come back. Cost 1000 dlls per week, I bet you can find better options

Absolutely doesn’t correspond to the description and pictures. The service at this hotel is careless

Great place! Fun and good energy!! Only downside we booked the queen bedroom and the bed is terrible its not really a bed. Other than that, everything great!! Very good location also!!Take surf lessons with Jonathan he is the best!!

Hotel pictures on any aggregator site (i.e. Bookings.com, Hotels.com, ect) are very deceiving. The picture of the rooms or the angles they are taken from or the age of them do not truly reflect how the rooms look. Our bedroom smelled of bathroom/toilet water. The shower edges had mildue on them. The floor was dirty. The bedroom was made up, however, the comforter did not appear to be something you wanted to lay on. As a result, we pulled it off the bed. The staff at the front desk were reasonably polite. I did not receive our free breakfast coupons. However, after inquiring about them at a later time I reveiced them. The breakfast itself was pretty bad. I ordered a continental style breakfast that consisted of a bowl of pineapple and papaya. My wife receiver the same thing with eggs. Both took approx 35 or so minutes to receive, when the lounge area was barely filled with anyone else. Overall, we only stayed for one day, which was MORE than enough. Call it age or just a higher standard, but hotel/hostel was not up to snuff. If you are a college student looking for a cheap stay with a group of friends or even solo travel, this may suffice at the lowest level. Beyond that, I would probably look elsewhere.

Cute spot! Everyone was very friendly. It was right next to beach which was great, as well as close to the center of town! There’s also a restaurant, bar and pool equipped with chairs, umbrellas and games. Can’t beat the price either!

Definitely someone who made a huge difference was one of the staff members, Jonathan. He gave us the best service that you could imagine! He should get a raise like for real...

First, this hostel works well for any traveler looking for a fun and lively stay. It certainly is designed for younger or solo travelers. Despite not being advertised, this is a hostel. It is quite loud and busy from 8am onward. Wary travelers looking for a respite will be disappointed that this is challenging to achieve here if your are not up before 7:30-8:00am. For instance, the bar/ restaurant was bumping music during my 8:30 am breakfast. Fun when I was 18, not when you are 30 and trying to catch up with friends and family back home or read a newspaper in peace. However, the staff was incredible. The rooms clean. Although again, even the single rooms are hostel like... bare bones, a bunk bed in a closet. But, the AC was fantastic! Check in and out was seamless. Highly recommend this place to the 21 and younger crowd!

First time in a Selina and was a great experience! We stayed in the deluxe king room with private bathroom which was clean and the ac was nice and cold! I cannot review the share bathroom because didn’t use it! The staff was great and helpful... location is great and common kitchen was clean and large! Overall I love the experience in Selina Tamarindo

The VIBE in the place is effectively a positive point... no hot water, parking lot flooded and on the last day surprise! No water! Great for a Sunday where people have to leave for long trips (May 26th 2019). Accommodation is ok and the cafeteria is really good. Another negative point is the security at night super rude and treating people like if everyone was trying to break rules or something like that. Definitively an experience not to repeat.
