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 StatesThat we didn't stay longer.
The host Danny was so helpful. He was always ready to give us good tips on restaurants, museum, etc. So generous with our breakfast , snacks, and plenty of goodies.We were the only couple staying those days, but he made time to have great conversations with us. It was our first time visiting Indianapolis, and this bed & breakfast was in the right spot to stay. Highly recommend.

United StatesThis one room, in particular, had a horrible vanity. My husband didn’t have a problem with it, but it was poorly lit, and it was extremely difficult to put my make up on. The actual tub in the bathroom was amazing as well. Our previous room had a well lit vanity, and I believe that to be true about the other rooms. It would be an easy fix if the owner would purchase a light up make up mirror to plug-in next to the bathroom sink. I would recommend that you call and ask before booking a particular room.
Convenient ! Amazing gourmet breakfast and warm, friendly host. He told me that he would be pampering us, and he absolutely did! This was our second stay.

United StatesAbsolutely nothing.
Beautiful home. Stayed in Tiffany. Rooms were immaculate and decorated gorgeously. The detailing everywhere was so ornate and lovely. Snacks, drinks and movies were available. It really felt like being at home! We could’ve walked around downtown but instead, we stayed in our cozy room by the fireplace and just basked in the quiet. We missed breakfast bc we had to leave earlier than expected but the banana bread was amazing-Danny was happy to give us some to go. Perfect stay. Will def book again. Now our fave B&B in Indy.

United StatesBed was hard for our liking and we wished we had more usable pillows (more decorative pillows than not) but these were very minor concerns compared to all our likes.
Gary was a consumate host--very obliging and thorough and makes sure his guests are well-taken care of in the room and out of the room. This is a wonderful home in the heart of Indianapolis and parking is super easy in a large private lot direclty behind the home. Our room was extremely cozy and we thoroughly enjoyed the jacuzzi bathtub.

United StatesOnly complaint is I would’ve liked to have had a personal key for my door to lock it when we left, as opposed to having it unlocked when I was away and only replying on the building itself being locked.
Owner was amazing, loved all the free amenities and old charm of the place. Lots of snacks and drinks, and the breakfast was delicious! The host gave us a full tour and showed us all the amenities available to us. Everything was clean and comfortable. Best B&B I’ve ever stayed at!

United StatesWe’re racking our brains for something negative to say. Fortunately we can’t come up with anything!
Gary is an exceptional host. He’s gave us a tour of his beautiful home when we got there. He’d baked at least 4 kinds of delectable cookies, had sodas and waters for us as well as other treats. The house is amazing! The woodwork and the furniture are ornate; they reminded us of our grandparents’ homes. Gary’s attention to detail is formidable. The house is well appointed with comfortable beds , sumptuous towels and toiletries as well as souvenirs of Gary’s travels around the world. Our room had a fireplace and a jacuzzi that we wished we had more time to enjoy. There’s an enormous collection of movies, music and games. There is also a grand piano in the parlor. Our dog was welcomed as well. The breakfast was delicious with multiple selections; there is something for everyone. The neighborhood is a beautiful place to walk the dog. It’s not far from wonderful restaurants and a movie theater. We are planning on returning to spend more time here when we can. There’s so much to explore in Indianapolis. We highly recommend visiting it at Old Northside Bed and Breakfast!
