Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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 States of AmericaDriving out of the property can be a little stressful because it’s tough to see oncoming traffic. Rachael has installed a mirror, which is helpful.
During a ten day roadtrip, Salmon Weir was by far our family’s favorite accommodations. The beautiful property, which is walking distance to everything Cong has to offer, was just perfect. Breakfast each day was varied and delicious. Rachael was attentive and we genuinely enjoyed getting to know her. Cong is such a special place, and Salmon Weir provided a fantastic way to experience it.

United States of AmericaThe breakfast was varied, plentiful and delicious - we all loved Rachel's cooking! Originally built by the Guinness family as a fishing lodge, the setting is exquisite - a completely restored stone bed and breakfast on the edge of the River Cong. The owners maintained its historic charm throughout even with the renovations and modernization. It was a perfect place to relax and sleep, yet an easy two minute walk to the pubs and shops in the quaint village of Cong.

What can we say about about Salmon Weir Lodge beyond exceptional?!! Rachel went above and beyond to meet every need we had. The hot breakfast delights she added were way beyond our expectations...she's always trying new things, thinking of ways to serve better and has a never-ending commitment to keep improving and serving. Have no doubt this will be the best place place near Cong to stay.

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.

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.
