Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Breakfast was disappointing. Expected to be served a complete breakfast, but were left to help ourselves to a rather limited selection with no service at all, e.g. have to make own coffee/tea, etc.
Good location, comfortable and quiet.

Nothing really. But it would have been very helpful if a sharp knife could have been provided to cut food. Also a straightforward kettle. The existing one is difficult to use. A new microwave might also be helpful as not all the buttons work on the existing one.
Good location 10 mins walk to town centre. Breakfast is self service and the shared kitchen area was free to use any time so we could make sandwiches for lunch or a snack. The owner April, provided home baked cakes every afternoon (good and bad 😊). There is also a microwave so you could have a pizza or microwave evening meal if you wanted.bThere is a lovely garden to sit out in

We had a lovely stay at Wits End and would recommend a stay there. The location is perfect, within 5-10 minutes you can walk into Banff. April was a great host, she made us feel very welcome and gave us some good tips for exploring the area. The breakfast was good and there were plenty of options. The room was comfortable and clean. Thanks for the lovely stay!

Thank you so much April for being such a fantastic host - you really made At Witz End feel like a home away from home. The B&B was located in a good location a short walk from the centre of town and was equipped with snacks, fresh fruit, breakfast supplies and tea/coffee. We had a very comfortable stay and would recommend this lovely B&B to anyone visiting the Banff area. P.s. thank you again for giving my partner a hiking stick to help his knee on our long hikes, we were very grateful for this!

Nothing to add. We really enjoyed our stay.
There were plenty of breakfast options, including fresh fruit, cereals and yummy muffins. The bed was very comfortable, like sleeping on a cloud. The location was superb as it's a quick walk to Town center and easy to find when travelling.

April is a fantastic host who runs a lovely place. I was staying for a couple of days to attend a conference at the Fairmont hotel, which is only a short walk away. My room was lovely, I much appreciated being able to have breakfast whenever convenient and the living room/kitchen is a nice place to chill after a busy day out.

There's no cooktop in the kitchen area to make your own meals but I think there might be some regulation preventing that (there was an air fryer however).
The rooms, common area (fridge for your own food, there's also some food/snacks for common use) and bathroom were all great. There's an air fryer available for cooking small items. The host was very accommodating and gave great recommendations. I found the location great as it was a quieter part of town but also well within walking distance to downtown. It's also right next to the Park Office which is a lovely building with beautiful gardens. Can also park your car in front but be aware of ensuring others can park theirs.

April is an exceptional host. She is very kind, respectful and takes care of everything in detail. The property is cozy, with a lovely yard to enjoy the mountains view. The facility is good, and everything is clean and organized. Her place is close to Banff downtown, which is excellent if you want to go for a walk or drink. We had a lovely time at the place and look forward to staying there on our next trip to Banff.

Not a thing. It was lovely.
The hosts were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The guest rooms were entered through a private entrance to the building that opened into a charming and well-stocked eating area and sitting area with a couch and fireplace. There was food for a self-serve breakfast and snacks available. The whole space was clean and well-decorated. The queen bedroom was spacious, comfortable, and had a sweet view. The B&B was an easy walking distance to the town centre and was very close to the Sulphur Mountain amenities. Thank you April and Peter!
