Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomFront and back garden could do with some care and attention as it was full of weeds. Strange that we were asked to water the pots when they and rest of the garden needed some work.
Lovely cute and charming old world cottage full of character. Easy walk into town for beach, bars and restaurants.

United KingdomIf you are anyway disabled or have mobility issues then the stairs may be a real problem for you.
The cottage is old and the stairs steep but, it’s very clean, the furniture is comfy and the beds fab! Perfectly situated for a wonderful holiday at Seaton. There is a car park right behind so only a short stroll to the cottage. Although right on a seemingly busy road, the whole area is very quiet at night, unless you count the seagulls! The cottage has everything you need for a holiday, the kitchen is small but has a cooker, fridge freezer, kettle, microwave, dishwasher and toaster, plus all the usual kit. The bathroom is upstairs with a very decent new bath and double headed shower. At the back there is a paved garden, on a slight slant but it has a table and chairs, perfect for evening dining and is a real suntrap during the day.

United KingdomWe had a really lovely stay at Nutshell Cottage, which is in a perfect location for the beach and all other attractions in Seaton. The cottage is very cosy and comfortable, with everything you need. Parking around the back in public carpark is very convenient and literally only a 3min walk. Communication with the owner was perfect. Would definitely recommend.

United Arab EmiratesI stayed at Nutshell for 2 nights with 2 teenage children. The cottage felt like a home away from home. It had everything we needed. The location was good, close to everything in Seaton. Communication with the hosts was easy, Nancy always replied almost immediately.

United KingdomThere is no parking and it was very busy around the town to park. There are car parks but they were full when we arrived. We did manage to find somewhere a short walk away.
Lovely little cottage. We only stayed one night but it was perfect for what we wanted. The host was at the property when we arrived (we got there early) but they were kind enough to let us leave our bags.

United KingdomThe only thing was that we would have found a second key useful. Carl went out on his own to meet his Brother on Friday night whilst me and Liam stayed at the cottage - we didn't have the option to lock the door before we went to bed without having to wake up to let him in - it in no way spoilt our holiday though (we just locked him out for the night lol!!).
We did not have the breakfast, loved the fact that the seafront was just a short walk away and on the way we could meander round the shops. The cottage was clean, comfortable and perfect for our needs. I also enjoyed the garden with furniture provided, a lovely little suntrap ideal drinking a glass of wine and reading my book.

We had a lovely stay at the cottage, it was very clean, in a great spot close to everything Seaton has to offer. Slept really well, comfy beds and seating, everything you needed was there. The dog loved it too..Would definitely stay again.

United KingdomThere was nothing to dislike about this lovely little cottage or its location.
Perfect location, close to the beach and the lovely little town. Although situated on a main road close to a junction we were not disturbed at all by traffic noise. The cottage is very tastefully decorated with comfortable furnishings and was spotlessly clean with quality bedding and towels and a very well equipped kitchen. Our hosts were very accessible and extremely helpful. We have already recommended Nutshell Cottage to friends who are hoping to travel to Seaton in the near future.
