How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe location is brilliant in terms of the glacier experience and skywalk as you travel up the Icefields Parkway and an experience to stay so close to the Glacier. The room and view were lovely and the welcome drinks and cheese/charcuterie boards were a lovely touch.
The restaurants in the evening felt like eating something nice but in a motorway services style canteen - didn't create the right look and feel at all. As it was close to the end of season there was also a lot not available on the menu both food and drink wise.

Verified reviewPrivate secure parking. Easy access to top floor hotel area... Clean and airy rooms.. Staff fab... and LIZ is nuts..(in A Good.way) Ohh and of course excellent access to glacier and skywalk... The best But to crown it all the 5pm complimentary canapes and drinks on the top floor lounge are exceptional... Well done.
Altitude restaurant is more a canteen than a meal destination. Cold in there too. But food ok.. If a little rushed..

It would have been nice if the room had a desk.

Verified reviewThe location next to the glacier. The management compensated us for a poor experience.
Everything else. Terrible night's sleep due to constant vibration from generator, felt like we were sleeping on a boat. Hotel/visitor centre set up is purely designed to extract as much money from guests as possible. Little thought given to the guest experience. The worst Hotel we have stayed at in Canada.

Verified reviewThe room was awesome! We could watch the glacier change over the evening from our beds! Beds were very comfortable & couldn’t get a better location.
The restaurant had a very limited menu & the breakfast times were also limited, the parking was very confusing between the hotel & the discovery centre.

Verified reviewHow close it was to our tour
That fact you don’t have a tesla supercharger on site. It distracts alot of people from staying there. We had to turn back halfway and do a full charge in jasper and come back by midnight for check in. Very upsetting and we probably not come back.
