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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United StatesAside from the standard and sometimes challenging aspects of coliving that most people know about I don't have many negatives I can think of. The parking in the area is tough but was surprisingly pretty easy nearby the hostel. All good for the most part.
Solid place to stay on Tenerife. The staff and volunteers work hard to make it feel like home. The location is pretty close to the beach and they even do some group activities and a weekly barbecue which are fun options. It is clean, safe and a good way to connect with people from many different countries and backgrounds. If you need lodging in the area, give La Tortuga a try.

United KingdomI recently had the pleasure of staying at a truly exceptional hostel, a place that exceeded all my expectations and which I highly recommend to anyone seeking an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I felt right at home. The welcoming atmosphere and incredibly friendly staff made me feel comfortable immediately. The reception was warm and helpful, ready to answer any questions I had and offer useful advice on what to do and see in the area. The hostel regularly organizes numerous events that encourage interaction among guests. I participated in several themed nights, and social activities that allowed me to meet people from all over the world. These events not only enriched my stay but also created a strong sense of community among us guests. The hostel is well-maintained, with clean and comfortable rooms. The common areas, such as the kitchen, lounge and garden with pool, are perfect for socializing or simply relaxing after a day of exploration. The Wi-Fi connection is fast and reliable, a great advantage for those who need to work or stay in touch with friends and family. In summary, this hostel offers much more than just a place to sleep. It’s a place where you feel like part of a family, where you build connections and have an authentic and engaging experience. I can’t wait to return and relive the same fantastic atmosphere!

PolandThe bathroom itself was a bit disappointing, in urgent need for renovation; - the shower curtain was far too short and it was impossible to have even a quick wash in the shower without flooding the whole bathroom floor. - no air conditioning in this object was harder to deal with than expected
The hostel receptionists are pleasant and friendly people - their attitude is very positive and welcoming, The common area and garden must be ideal for socialising and running events, A lot of things going on - gatherings, barbecue, yoga, etc. The mattress in my double bedroom was veeery firm and very comfy, The beer choice is excellent

United KingdomI booked on a Wednesday which was the day of the BBQ night, for just 10 euros there was a fantastic unlimited bufet :) I really appreciated that there was not only meat but also many options for vegans. A shout out for the curry which was super yummy! There are a lot of people who come to the night both the travelers in the hostel as well as the locals which creates a wonderful atmosphere. Comfortable beds and a relaxing garden. I recommend La Tortuga without a doubt!

ItalyI want to say a big THANK YOU to all the adorable staff and especially Karen who found me a bed to stay longer and enjoy the lovely atmosphere and sociality of the hostel. If you can't find a place on Booking, try asking at the reception directly because they have beds to offer that they don't sell on the web. The activities are great, first of all the amazing BBQ evening after which they took us to a flamenco bar which was super fun. La Tortuga is by far one of the most beautiful and lively hostels I've ever been to, I recommend it to everyone!

GermanyOf the three hostels I visited in Tenerife this one was the best, and also one of the best I ever visited in general. Great people (guests and staff), comfortable room, clean, parking at the street. The hostel is actually two houses that are somewhat connected, one is rather quiet and the other very social, so you can choose where to hang out depending on your current mood.

FrancePerhaps incorporating curtains around the beds for a touch of privacy could be considered, but I hope this won't stop you from fully embracing and enjoying this experience.
I stayed four-nights at LA TORTUGA HOSTEL, I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and definitely plan to return someday! Nearly all the staff were volunteers, and while I don't know about their selection process, I can confidently say they were chosen wisely and displayed a high level of professionalism. The owner, Ale, was exceptionally welcoming. The breakfast was light, but I had no complaints, and the accommodation was reasonably priced. Additionally, they organized various events like barbecues and taskita ... adding to the overall positive experience. If you're seeking a lively social atmosphere and the chance to meet people from around the world, this place is at the top of the list.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this establishment and I must say, it was an incredible experience. One of the standout features of this place is the presence of two distinct environments - a social one and a quieter one. This gave me the flexibility to choose the atmosphere that suited my mood. Whether I wanted to mingle and meet new people or have some peaceful downtime, I had the perfect setting for both. The rooms were comfortable and just the right size for my group of four. We had ample space to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring. The beds were cozy, ensuring a restful night's sleep. Additionally, the swimming pool provided a refreshing escape from the heat. It was well-maintained and a great place to cool off and relax. What truly set this place apart was the friendliness and warmth of the staff. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable throughout our stay. They were always ready with great suggestions, whether it was for local attractions or dining options. Their genuine care and attention to detail created a homey, family-like atmosphere that made our stay truly memorable. Moreover, the events organized by the establishment were loads of fun! It was a fantastic opportunity to meet other guests, socialize, and create lasting memories. The staff's efforts in arranging these events made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, I highly recommend this establishment for its unique dual-environment concept, comfortable rooms, and refreshing swimming pool. The friendly and welcoming staff, along with the fun events, added to the overall experience. Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or with a group of friends, this place is a perfect choice for a memorable and enjoyable stay.
