Great location close to the beach and the main centre. Good communal areas and large well stocked kitchen. Spacious dorm. Very friendly staff. Good entertainment schedule. Reliable wifi.

Extremely cold dorms - I asked for a blanket on my second night but didn’t get it until I asked again on the third night. The staff member commented that they were running low as lots of people had asked for them (maybe a good indicator that the air con - controlled centrally by reception - was down too low! Multiple people in my dorm were sleeping in sweaters!)

This is always my favorite place, my receptionist was not so friendly, maybe I was not having a good day, then I got someone else from the staff who helped me with where to park and questions, the bar staff was not very friendly, this one is not It was my favorite hotel.

The staff in general was not very friendly, the rooms were quite far away, the bathroom a bit uncomfortable because there were many of us and there was only one bathroom, complicated

*The receptionists were super professional, kind and helpful. *Great atmosphere and platform to meet new people. * the breakfast was really good and worth the money. * I have booked surfing through Selina - was fabulous! * live music and all the organized activities are super nice. * Button line - had a really great time there!

* the first standard room that I got was awful - moldy smell and difficulty to breath, the shower was clocked. Very bad experience. *After the first night, Selina changed my room. Much better experience and well maintained. * In general, Selina should maintained better the living area - the big wall between selina area and the outside was super green moldy, the concrete path to the room was moldy as well. If you will clean it once a year, I'm sure it will improve the atmosphere significantly. * There are not a lot of private area to work remotely.

Was taken in with a free welcome drink and information about activities and so on. It was a good oportunity to get to know people. The workers were nice and helpfull.

I got a single bedroom to make sure I get some sleep before my flight, where the bus departed at 06 in the morning. Unfortunately this room had the music from a outside party blasting in. Even with my earplugs, and it being Sunday, it was hard to sleep. Might be better to stay somewhere else if sleep is important. Also would had been good with the remote for the aircondition actually in the room, as it was a little cold for me.

I really enjoyed my stay at selina, the staff is amazing and very attentive and helpful. I had breakfast there and some food and it was very nice. I think all services are great for the money you pay. Location is fantastic is walking distance to everywhere in Tamarindo.

The room was very small and a bit dated and at night i could hear animals jumping and running on the roof. The shower facilities were ok but at times you needed to wait a little bit till you can get in and it was not ideal when you have an urge!! ( toilets and shower are in the same place!!!) maybe it would be nice to have some more WC only around the Hostel.

I really loved staying there, everybody was super nice, I was finally able to calm down a bit after a stressful travel experience and if Selina wasn’t that expensive I would go there every time. The people who are working there are so lovely, Im bad remembering names, but Denise from the reception helped me so much. I met a lot of cool people and the pool area was so chilled! It’s directly on the beach and renting a surfboard was not a problem:)) thanks for everything!

I would prefer to have a smaller dorm or a private room just because it’s really loud and people coming in and out all the time, but I think that’s normal in hostels, so all good ;) it’s just a pity that it’s too expensive to have a more quiet room.

The pool are a was such a great place to go to during our down time and in the mornings to work. The convenience of the surf lessons was great and the instructor was amazing! We looked forward to smoothies at breakfast everyday.

The first night the AC took a very long time to start up. We took cold showers to cool down but other than that everything was great. They did not accept AMEX and I could not use my company card. I was able to use my personal card and expense it.

Really enjoyed the location of Selina, central in Tamarindo close to the beach and shops, restaurants etc. staff all really friendly and helpful, made good use of the surfboard rental.

The room itself was good value for money but the food and drink at Selina was out of our budget so we went elsewhere. You couldn’t eat or drink your own food in the communal area which reduced the socialising somewhat.
