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.).

United StatesOur room and everything about our stay was first-rate. The B&B is located on a quiet street, with on-premises parking. The Tunnel Mountain trailhead, Bow River, and downtown are all within easy walking distance. We appreciated having sodas in the fridge by our room and other snacks downstairs. The hosts, Pete and Alex, were friendly and great sources of information and suggestions for our stay. (They also accommodated our very late arrival.) As others have said, the breakfasts, which were different each morning, were a highlight. Pete manned the front while Alex, daughter of a Banff chef, made good things happen in the kitchen. Everything was perfect and we would be delighted to stay here again.

SwitzerlandCan’t think of anything I did not like.
It is a lovely house 5 minutes walk from the Banff town center, so you are very conveniently located for the restaurants and shops but in a quieter part of the small tourist town. The young couple who run it were so very hospitable. All the reviews rave about the breakfast and it is absolutely deserved: very creative and delicious. But it is the whole experience, with little details like amenities in the room, little snacks and tea/coffee available at any time, the lovely views of the mountain, the rooms with high ceilings and lots of light, the sandwich bags at breakfast in case you would like to make your own snack for later in the day, that makes staying here so very nice. Check in was very easy and smooth, and there is a dedicated parking at the back of the house. A very warm and welcoming place.

GermanyThis B&B is so well thought through through- no complaints. Perhaps access to a washing machine/dryer would have been useful for longer stays.
This is not just an accomodation, you can truly sense the care and love that has been put into the experience of staying in at this B&B. Perfect location, outstanding breakfast, the kindest hosts, great communication and most comfortable modern rooms. The adjacent parking was also a big bonus.

Beautiful room, walkable to downtown and free onsite parking. More importantly, the hosts are just so kind and welcoming and have thought of everything to make your stay just perfect. The European style breakfasts (3 courses) exceeded our expectations each day! Our room was very spacious with a large comfortable bed, cozy stone fireplace and so many thoughtful amenities. Amazing B&B experience! We highly recommend staying here.

Everything about Thea’s house was perfect! The location was amazing - easy to walk everywhere, and also a free and convenient place to park on-property. The staff was welcoming and kind, offering their expertise and opinions on various hikes and activities. The food was delicious (3 course breakfast!). We will be recommending to all of our friends and family that they stay here on future trips to Banff.

I was able to walk downtown to look around and get something for dinner. The breakfast served was excellent. A very friendly owner. It was very nice to be able to use a bike that was on site to ride around to some of the nearby trails and was a nice extra touch.

United StatesNothing to not like!
This place exceeded our expectations! Easy to find corner house, just 3 blocks away from downtown Banff! It's also close to Tunnel Mountain trailhead, just a block or two behind the house! Perfect location! Cute B&B house with 4 rooms felt like going to your grandma's house full of history, smell of fresh air and banana bread! Esther was an amazing host and she's even more amazing once you get to know her and her background. We stayed in Edith, our room name, and it was such a cute and cabin-esk setting. We had a king sized bed with wooden log frame, fireplace, small living area and balcony. Everything was upgraded and we felt very at home. The bed was really comfortable and the place was nice and toasty even with the balcony door open. The 3 course breakfast was out of this world! We were expecting your typical continental breakfast, but Esther knowing she owned a French restaurant for 36 years in Banff, she brought up the game in breakfast. We started off with coffee or tea, then your first course is a like muesli or grilled coconut banana orange salad, then comes a good size charcuterie board, AND THEN your main course! Whether it's poached egg on hash with smoked salmon or crème brulee French toast! It was beyond our expectation and if you don't finish your charcuterie, the table is equipped with small brown bags for you to create a sandwich or pack a snack for the day. No waste! Esther definitely gave me a different perspective on B&B! Hospitality and experience is key nowadays, in my opinion. For sure we will come back here when we visit Banff the next time!
