    Average. Uncomfortable...

    Irina_G, Aug 2025
    Average. Uncomfortable and overcrowded buses. Hotel didn't serve breakfast and not much choice around to find one. For third day supposed to pack lunch but also hard to find since the hotel is far from the centre. Every day was "suggested" to give a 12$ tip to the guide, which felt unnecessary.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that certain aspects of your trip didn’t meet expectations. During the summer months, Banff does experience a significant increase in visitors, which can lead to more crowded transportation and busier public areas. We understand how this may have impacted your comfort. Regarding the hotel, many properties in Banff are located in the hotel district, which is about a 10-minute walk from the main shopping and dining areas. We also appreciate your feedback on the tipping suggestion. While the tip is optional, we’ll work on how it's communicated. Your comments help us improve, and we thank you for taking the time to share them.
