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.).

IrelandStayed here for my second year in a row with some friends and just like last year everything exceeded our expectations. Rachel looked after us as always and put on an incredible home baked breakfast with everything you could imagine. The location is idyllic overlooking the river and only a few hundred metres into the quaint village of Cong, which has a great selection of local gastro pubs. Will be back again next year!

Salmon Weir Lodge offers the best accommodation in Cong. The Lodge is beautiful and has a stunning seating area by the Weir to enjoy in the good weather. The beds are extremely comfortable, rooms very spacious and the shower is perfect. Rachel puts on an amazing spread for breakfast, mixing it up every morning with freshly prepared baked goods, fruit, yogarts and so much more. A wonderful host, a delightful stay. We'll be sure to return and recommend Salmon Weir Lodge to our friends.

IrelandWe honestly can't fault anything.
We loved everything about our stay. We've stayed in very good hotels all around the world that really don't match up to what Rachael has managed to build here. The design and decor is so warm and welcoming, it's immaculately clean, it's in an amazing location which makes it perfect for days trips and the gem on top is Rachael's hospitality. Plenty of food for breakfast, plenty of parking and even a place for us to store our bikes. It's a 5 minute walk into town and a small walk to Ashford Castle and other local sights. It really was a perfect stay and very good value for money.

FranceThe host was Rachael very kind, the room was very clean, the beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was very good. Cong is a charming village at the gates of the Connemara where you can find restaurants, bars, a beautiful forest to walk in. It is also famous for the movie The Quiet Man. To sum up it was a perfect stay.

This property was one of the best we have stayed in in this village. It was clean , comfortable and warm. The host, Rachel , was super friendly and provided a delicious breakfast both mornings.  There is also a hot drinks station for guests to use and a comfortable lounge where you can sit and watch TV. Rachel was kind enough to make us a pot of tea on arrival and gave us delicious cake to eat with it.

The breakfast was outstanding, large range of fresh fruits, juices, cereals, savoury tarts, hot if required, quality pastries. The views from our windows upstairs over the garden & trees. The stone fence in the yard was on the edge of the river with ducks swimming around. The hostess was generous with the use of her sitting room.

GermanyAt our 20th trip to Ireland, we found ourselves staying at the Salmon Weir Lodge in Cong, and the experience was excellent. Our hostess, Rachael, provided a warm welcome that immediately made us feel at home. Her friendliness stood out, enhancing the quality of our stay. The rooms were both clean and tastefully decorated. The furnishings were comfortable, giving the space a homey feel. The common area also met our expectations. It featured comfortable seating and a pleasing atmosphere, serving as an inviting space to relax after a day of exploring the surrounding area. Unlike some places that offer a standard or limited range of options regarding the breakfast, the Salmon Weir Lodge went above and beyond. The Irish Breakfast casserole for example was a delightful touch that set this place apart from the average bed-and-breakfast. I still need to ask for the recipe. ;) In addition to the physical amenities, we enjoyed the social aspect of our stay. We found ourselves engaged in enjoyable and meaningful conversations with other guests, both during breakfast and in the evenings. These interactions added a layer of richness to our experience, making our stay more than just a simple lodging arrangement. Overall, we were more than satisfied with our time at the Salmon Weir Lodge. The attention to detail, the quality of service, and the exceptional amenities make this place highly recommendable. It was a memorable stay that exceeded our expectations in various ways. Many Thanks, Maggie & Andreas

United KingdomRachel's property is a true standout. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the impeccable cleanliness and the remarkable attention to detail evident throughout the house. The tasteful design and meticulous care put into every aspect of the property make it a beautiful and inviting place to stay. Rachel herself is a wonderful host—kind, considerate, and attentive to her guests' needs. Her warm and welcoming demeanor added an extra layer of comfort to our stay. One of the absolute highlights of my visit was the breakfast that Rachel prepared. It was nothing short of exceptional. There was an impressive variety of food to choose from, including fresh fruit and savory options, all prepared with great skill and served with a personal touch. Her thoughtfulness in packing some breakfast for me when I had to leave at 6 am made my early morning departure so much more convenient and enjoyable. I can't wait for an opportunity to return to her property, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable and delightful experience.
