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 StatesIt was a little farther walk to downtown than expected but not bad at all.
The staff were so friendly and helpful. They had so many extra amenities such as giving us free bus passes around the town, garage parking, and complimentary local coffee and tea that you could request daily and even fresh made cream. We loved the rooftop hot pools and sauna especially after hiking all day.

United StatesThe gap in the room doors. You can hear when people come and go. Also, my bathroom door wouldn't close all the way.
Beautiful, clean hotel with wonderful rooftop hot tubs, sauna and fire pits. Amazing staff from check in to restaurants to housekeeping. Early refresh of the rooms blew me away!!! Food was excellent.

United KingdomThe air con was very Noisy and seem quiet dates despite the age of the hotel. Only option of a breakfast on site isn’t included. With the price you pay for the property you would expect to get at least a continental included
Good location slightly out of the main ‘tourist buzz’ but still a walkable distance into the centre of Banff. Laundry services was useful due to travelling and it was a reasonable price too. Hot pools were a bonus after some hikes.

United StatesWe loved the Otter Hotel! The fresh coffee everyday was so good! The rooms were clean, comfy and well appointed. The receptionists at the front desk had great information on the attractions and hikes. The location was close enough to walk to the restaurants in town, but they also give bus passes at check in if you would rather not walk.

CanadaRoom is too small, no proper closet but only an open hanger. Water from shower is not strong enough for shampoo, particularly people with long and thick hair . Air-conditioner/heater too noisy and not able to adjust to desired temperature. Room rate is too expensive. The mountain view is half blocked by the roof of the building in front.
At good location, clean and new. Shower head have hand held option which is good. Provide hotel service and staff are helpful. Coffee and tea in room are good quality.

Awesome hotel, facilities are excellent. Food in the restaurant is spot on, rated really highly against all the restaurants in Banff and not too overpriced! The free bus ticket is an awesome touch with the bus stop directly outside the hotel which will take you as far as the Gondola!
