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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 KingdomI had such a wonderful stay here! Rachael is an exceptional host — she went above and beyond, even washing & ironing my clothes for a wedding!! The rooms were extremely comfortable and the breakfast was perfect every morning, with a great variety of food and a lovely pot of tea waiting for me. The location is ideal too, just a stone’s throw from the beautiful village of Cong. Whether for a short visit or a longer trip, I couldn’t recommend this B&B highly enough!

GermanyThis was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The accommodation was absolutely charming and beautifully furnished throughout. Everything felt new and was spotlessly clean, which made for a very comfortable stay. Our host Rachel deserves special mention - she was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Her hospitality really made the difference, we insider got travel tips almost every day. The breakfast was a particular highlight and definitely not your standard Irish breakfast. Rachel surprised us with something different each day, which was a delightful touch that we really appreciated.

Everything is beyond 5 star at Salmon Weir. Rachel is an incredible host and takes such care to make sure everything is perfect - very comfy beds, lovely linens and towels, home made wonderful breakfast - such a fantastic spread to be greeted with in the morning and so much choice. It's very easy to walk into the village which is only a few minutes away. Best kept secret in Cong - we will definitely be back. Thank you so much for looking after us Rachel, Harley and Susie xx

United KingdomWe have nothing but praise for the Salmon Weir Lodge 💯%
There was nothing not to like about the Salmon Weir Lodge, the hostess was very warm and welcoming from the moment we stepped through the front entrance, at every opportunity she would engage you in conversation, making sure your needs were well catered for, the rooms are spick and Span creating a lovely ambience throughout the building, the breakfast selection presented you with a spoilt for choice, wide abundance of breakfast delights, regrettably our stay was shorter than we would have liked, but we have every intention of making a return visit in the very near future ----- Many many thank you's Rachel, for all those little personal touches you provided!

We had a great stay! The family room was the perfect size for our group, and Rachael was knowledgeable on recommendations for activities in the area. Loved that it was right on the water and walking distance from town - we went to the pubs for music in the evenings. We also enjoyed the varying (and large!) breakfast spreads each day. Breakfasts were shared at a communal table, which was great for creating conversation between groups. Rachael was super accommodating of the dietary restrictions of one member of our party.

Everything was perfect. The facility is beautiful. The outdoor garden areas were quite relaxing. The room was very comfortable. The common areas were welcoming and Rachael was a perfectly delightful host. The breakfast has to be seen to be believed. Amazingly extensive and extraordinarily delicious. Everything was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. We would consider another trip to Ireland just to spend a few more days here.

It was right next to the river. It was calming and peaceful, tastefully decorated. Plenty of food for breakfast. Amazing seating choices and very comfortable beds. Loved having a washcloth, not many places include them with linens. We will definitely try to go back for a longer stay. Rachel was a delightful hostess and gave very good advice about the sights.
