SCOUT REVIEW
Banff Caribou Lodge & Spa is a simple lodge-style hotel situated on the Main Street, so you're super close to the fantastic restaurants and bars of Banff.
The hotel was renovated a few years ago and boasts comfortable modern style of furnishings. Designers went with a bright green and yellow colour schemes with photographs of nature on the walls. Some may argue that it feels a little dated and depending on the direction they are facing some rooms can feel quite dark. Standard rooms face the inside of the hotel courtyard (and therefore other buildings), however they are private and no one can walk past the windows. Meanwhile, the Superior rooms face the outside of the building. If you prefer sunlight, opt for a room facing Banff Avenue. (These rooms also give you the potential for mountain glimpses). However these rooms do get a bit of noise from the street. If you would prefer a little more peace, the rooms at the back of the property are quieter (especially those away from the loading dock) but the tradeoff is they get less light.
Located on the fourth floor, the Deluxe loft rooms have a loft sleeping area plus a separate living room with a gas fireplace. They even have their own Jacuzzi bath so you can take a relaxing soak to soothe your ski muscles. Scout loves these rooms in particular for small families and those staying a little longer.
The Banff Caribou Lodge & Spa boasts great on-site facilities including an indoor pool and steam room, fitness centre, full service Red Earth Spa, and The Keg Steakhouse - a wonderful choice for an easy and hearty family dinner. If you're having a late start, breakfast is also quite good here.
Banff Caribou Lodge & Spa is a great value option for families and couples, who seek easy access to downtown Banff and the local ski resorts.

Scout Booking Terms & Conditions
- Availability: Booking of all packages & accommodation is subject to availability at time of confirmation of package option by customer.
- Rate includes: All associated taxes. Some hotels charge extra fees for parking, cots, rollaways etc. Such fees can be confirmed on request based on your requirements.
- Payment Schedule:
- Deposit: 25% of the full amount is due WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CONFIRMATION to secure the booking.
- Final Balance: Invoice will be issued for the remaining balance 80 days prior to departure. PAYMENT IS DUE 70 DAYS PRIOR to departure. Failure to pay by 70 days may result in the auto-cancellation of accommodation by the accommodation provider or late payment fees.
- Bookings within 70 days: Full payment is required within 7 days to secure the booking.
- Variations: In some circumstances suppliers may have different payment policies to the above. Additionally some Early Bird deals require full payment by or soon after the book-by date. In these instances Scout will clearly communicate any variances prior to confirmation.
- Cancellation Policy:
- All deposits are non-refundable once received.
- For balance payments made within 70-45 days prior to the trip the deposit amount is non-refundable.
- No refund for total amount for cancellations 45 days or less prior to arrival and no-shows. In unexpected, unfortunate circumstances (family death etc) Scout will work to negotiate with the supplier for a full or partial refund, however this is not guaranteed. We recommend taking travel insurance to make sure you are covered. Cancelling due to weather, missed travel connections or lack of snow is not considered an unexpected circumstance and is one of the risks you must wear as part of taking a ski trip. Unless the supplier has a snow guarantee or weather cancellation policy, Scout will not refund any part of the package due to these factors.
- Variations: Please note that some hotels may have stricter policies (such as no refund within 60 days) and we are required to pass on these policies. We will communicate any varations to the above cancellation policy prior to confirmation of booking.
- Changes Policy:
- Once bookings are confirmed and deposit is paid service fees will apply for every amendment to existing elements, late final payment and travel document re-issue in addition to fees charged by suppliers
- In a few instances we purchase products through third party providers. If you change part of your package whilst at a destination, the 3rd party provider may have a different refund policy to that of the supplier in the destination. Wherever possible we will work to recover any refunds that come from a change at the destination, however it is not guaranteed.
- Surcharges: Scout does not charge any additional fees for the booking. Prices quoted are for cash (bank transfer) payments only. Credit card payments (Amex, Visa or Mastercard only) will be subject to 1.8% surcharge.
- Booking Currency: Scout will quote and charge in one currency of your choice from AUD, USD, CAD, JPY, EUR or GBP only.
- Currency Exchange Policy: If you book an international destination all remaining balances are subject to change (based on currency fluctuations) until the final payment has been processed. This can go either way (if your currency gets stronger you will be invoiced less!). We will confirm at the time of invoice what the final amount is, based on the exchange rate at that time. Should you wish to pay the balance earlier (prior to when it’s actually due) to secure that current exchange rate you are welcome to request the final invoice at any time. Once payments have been made (deposit or final balance), no refunds will be given for changes in the amount of what that payment would be, based on currency changes at any time prior to your trip.
- Travel Insurance: Once your booking is confirmed, we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance as it will often cover the cost of cancelled reservations.
