How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe location of Indy's Hidden Gem was perfect for the activities we had planned which included attending the drag car races at the Indianapolis Raceway. The property was easy to get to in a quiet neighborhood and fit our need exactly. Sherry was a very warm and gracious hostess making sure we had everything we needed and answering any questions we had. We would highly recommend Indy's Hidden Gem!
There is nothing we didn't like!

Verified reviewSherry was wonderful and friendly when we met the next day.
Sorry to say, Mainly that the shared bathroom was a shock to us, we will never consider such, but the posting said Private Bathroom but it is shared. Second, we arrived a few minutes before the 11 pm deadline after driving all day, but the home [and neighbourhood] was completely dark from street view, which a guest expects to be well-lit as if they are expected. So we were quite afraid that something was terribly wrong, and also could have stumbled on unfamiliar stairs and entrance. We were not sure if we can park our car in driveway. (Only by mail box # and Waze did we feel we're at the right place.) Dave answered the door and seemed a little standoffish and confused, making us feel very unwelcome within ourselves, he soon turned out to be very nice. He was also in the bathroom when my wife needed it badly in the morning, not his fault per se.

Verified reviewLovely whimsically decorated cozy home with an excellent, friendly hostess. So much eye candy in the home that it was fun exploring all of trinkets, baubles and collectibles. Location was great for attending the Indy 500, just a short drive.

Verified reviewThe minute I walked in the front door…I felt wondrously at home. The property owner’s mind, heart and spirit are reflected wherever you look from luscious plants, to intriguing sculpture, to thoughtful design. The assigned room was clean with a firm bed, mini fridge and complimentary bottled water/hot tea. Shower had great water pressure. Parking was convenient, with shopping and dining options within a couple miles. The host and accommodations absolutely wow’ed - I arrived a stranger and left a friend. :)
I LOVED everything!

Verified reviewThe Queen Suite was nice and large and the bed was super comfortable! It was quiet and peaceful. Owner was very nice!
I didn’t realize we were staying IN someone’s home without a separate entrance. That’s always uncomfortable for us. Also the room was full of owner’s personal items leaving very little room for our suitcases.
