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 StatesThe charging system was a bit weird as it could not be done via bookings.com and we received a WhatsApp asking for additional credit card information. We were uncomfortable with the request, but the local representative met us at the airport and charged us then. A small issue is that the air-conditioning unit is in the living room and the only way to get the air in the bedrooms is by leaving the doors open. Probably not a huge issue for families or when it's not too hot.
Excellent location near Kingscote supermarket, gas station, and restaurants. Spacious two- bedroom house with all amenities (including washer and dryer) and great shower. Very comfortable overall.

Fantastic location, right in the heart of town; minutes from restaurants and the wonderful salt water pool (great for an early morning dip). Inna Nutshell is extremely well equipped, but as the host says lacks views, but who cares when the accommodation is so lovely and comfortable - bedrooms, kitchen, TV, coffee machine etc etc. Really clean too. Would recommend without doubt.

AustraliaThere was nothing at all to fault in any way, we loved it all.
We were so amazed with this property, it exceeded our expectations. It was absolutely wonderful. So big and roomy, very clean and spacious, the bathroom was fantastic, the beds were super comfortable, it had everything needed, the owners go above and beyond. It had undercover parking, outside ent area, close to shops, hotels and everything in walking distance. The whole house was just so lovely and comfortable, we absolutely loved it, and would recommend it to anyone wanting to go to KI, have already told some people, and shown photos. Could not fault anything at all, best by far. Thankyou so very much.

AustraliaThe bed was a bit firmer than what I’m used to, but otherwise comfortable.
Cosy little unit with loads of character. It certainly feels like a home away from home. It has everything you could possibly need for a short or long stay. Up to date bathroom, huge shower with 2 shower heads, plus nice and warm underfloor heating. The area is very quiet and only a short walk to shops, cafes, pubs, etc.

AustraliaWe stayed for 3 nights and my only suggestion would be to provide at least 2 towels each so that there is no need to wash them in between uses if you do not re-use your towels.
We pack the car with EVERYTHING that we usually use as not all accommodations provide what has been advertised or what is provided is not suitable. Inna Nutshell was an EXECEPTION to the rule. Attention to detail was a surprising bonus which made our stay thoroughly enjoyable. A read through of the accommodation handbook left on the bench when you arrive shows the owner has a very interesting view of some of the suggestions put forward with the comments for resolution very down to earth.....I've come to the conclusion you will never please everyone all of the time!!! Although the accommodation was located down a driveway at the rear of the building we found the additional privacy very appealing with access to the town centre a short walk away. Would thoroughly recommend staying at this location!!!
