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 KingdomThe noise from the tap either in the sink or the bath was so loud it was even louder than when the jacuzzi tub was bubbling. There was several lights not working in the main room and the chairs in the room were broken in the structure. Windows could only be opened from the top and you could hear all the noise from next room and the hall way.
Lovely big room with plenty of space and the bathtub was exceptional and the bed was so comfy. Staff were incredible and the hotel has been very well equipped for it and loads of original and modern adaptations. Plenty of parking too. Food was great in the evening but the morning breakfast was poor for me.

United KingdomUnfortunately the shower in my room took some explaining to operate. Once it was running it was perfect, but it was just getting it to start was a problem. However on chatting with management, I understand that room is due for refurbishment soon & the old shower will be replaced with a new one
All of the staff at the Mill House are extremely friendly and accommodating. They couldn't have done enough to assist me during my stay. From the lady who checked me in who offered to help me carry my luggage as she showed me to my room. The lovely restaurant staff that no matter how busy they were in the restaurant they always took time have a conversation with me & made me feel like a valued customer. To the lady who called me after I checked out to say she had moved some bookings around & was able to accommodate me for the full week after. Such service from the entire team at The Mill House. Thank you for looking after me during my stay.

United KingdomThe property continues to need refurbishment particularly to some of the rooms. We understand the huge costs involved in such work and perhaps this is reflected in the value of the accommodation. The window aspect from the rear facing rooms would benefit from extensive tree and bush/undergrowth management to give a better view, across the fields, from these bedrooms. Also, a simple quick fix would be to replace the door closers on the rear facing rooms (Tynet Suite, etc) with new closers to stop the resistance to close the door followed by a very abrupt door slamming action. Not all residents can be bothered waiting to stop this happening and disturbing other residents.
Excellent breakfast. Relaxing accommodation/friendly staff with plenty of casual sitting space both inside and out. Staff member, Laura, very kindly found a safe location to store our e-bikes overnight. Excellent location and roadside aspect, though the speed and recklessness of the adjacent A98 drivers seems to get worse. Despite this, crossing the road to the Spey Bay area offers miles of quiet almost traffic free cycling/walking countryside. It is also situated close enough to cycle into Fochabers (Christies excellent Garden Centre) and Buckie, though this town continues to languish in the 1950s with its facilities most of which close at 5pm! Plenty of parking although some nights the hotel frontage area can be very busy. Had a leisurely evening meal on one night and, as stated on a previous review, the menu could do with broadening to accommodate more mediterranean style food and, perhaps, smaller options (bar meals?). Our two night booking represented good value and has a better atmosphere under the present owners. We'll be back!

United KingdomLocation was perfect for our journey. There is ample parking and the both restaraunt and staff were excellent. The hotel is currently undergoing some refurbishment and it will be even better when complete. For the money, this is well worth a visit.

United KingdomThe walls are a bit thin and without ear plugs, you can hear people chatting early in the morning or watching TV late at night.
I had a room at the back facing trees and away from the road. Plenty of free parking close by (a short walk so need to be able to carry luggage). Breakfast was very good and staff always friendly.
