Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 KingdomThis was a 3 person stay. We needed to ask for bedding and the 2nd bed which was a sofa, not a sofa bed, less comfortable.
Lodge is a distance from town, quieter end, backs onto walking trails, bus stops outside with a free pass for guests. Lovely views of the mountains from the living area. We were 3 adults though this would be a great place with kids. An outside BBQ for all guest use.

CanadaThe place could probably use a fresh coat of paint on the buildings outside as it was slightly run down. Having said that, it did not detract from our vacation.
We liked the accommodation for our family as it had a kitchenette, water slides and hot tubs. The kitchenette was great and allowed us to cook our own meals. The space was great and did not feel cramped. We were able to park right outside the room and the views from our living room were beautiful. The Murphy bed was good as it gave space during the day but could have two people sleep in it at night.

You CANNOT beat the amenities offered here. As a family it was soooo amazing to have the waterpark and playzone for our kiddos. We also loved the wood burning fireplace!!

United KingdomThe warm air heat was incredibly noisy and went on and off at about 10minute intervals . The bedroom was cold , we had -19 c temperatures whilst we were there . I think an upgrade in bedding is needed , one thin sheet , blanket a as bd counterpane was all we had . As other pet have mentioned the apartment was a bit outdated . The cabinets need painting . Housekeeping was satisfactory though the sink and mirror in the bathroom was not wiped round . Pillows were a bit lumpy
We were given a ground floor apartment overlooking the woods. We were lucky to see a herd of elk and 2 wolves. It was a quiet area though slightly out of town and up a hill .Plenty of hot water and an open fire . Bus passes were give for the local buses which were very reliable , though not sure why we only got 3 days at a time .

United States of AmericaThe mountain view was obscured by the fireplace chimney and a fence surrounded our balcony. But still beautiful. The lobby area is very outdated. The stores that once were available on the property were closed during COVID.
This is a lovely resort that blends retro and modern. Some would say it is dated, and it is true there are areas that need updating. But our room had everything we needed. There was a full modern kitchen and bathroom as well as a wood burning fireplace which was our biggest draw. The location is a beautiful area of Tunnel Mountain away from the congestion of the Banff town-site, but still close. The drive up the mountain is especially scenic. The bus stop, which Douglas Fir Resorts gives free passes for transportation into town is right across the street and runs frequently.

United States of AmericaNeither hot tub was working while we were there, with the indoor one being closed and the outdoor one being a "tepid" tub at best. We also found that both of the large heating elements on our stove didn't work and it seemed that we were missing some pots and pans. It take a bit of juggling to cook pancakes, sausage, and eggs with only one frying pan!
The Murphy Bed in the living room was much nicer than a sofa bed for our daughter to sleep in. We also appreciated the kitchen and the ability to cook our own breakfast in our own space. Being able to park right by the unit was a nice bonus.

CanadaThe hills to the chalets were super slippery. There was a lot of fresh snow and a lot of cars got stuck and needed to get pushed. The maintenance staff helped push us out. We were so very thankful for their help.
Waterslides were fun. Staff was pretty awesome.

CanadaSpecifically reserved and paid for a condo with a fireplace. Our unit had a gas fireplace that was didn’t work, disappointing since we almost always had a room with a real fireplace in the past, rooms are outdated, I forgot the plug in base for my charger only had the cord, there was no where to plug a USB cord , most newer models places have a charging port or ports available
Have stayed here for a long time, good location, good amenities(water park, playground, 2 pools), always comfortable
