Great location and facilities

Caroline H on Oct 11, 2026

A perfect place to stay, just out of the main Banff town but close enought to enjoy all it has to offer. We stayed in a queen x 2 room it was very spacious and beautifully decorated. Had a lovely real fire and balcony to sit out. We enjoyed the outdoor hot tub and our own roll top bath. A perfect stay all round. We reported a fault and it was dealt with immediately by maintenance. 5 star stay def recommend ??

AMAZING SPECIAL STAY

Pam Joe B on Oct 11, 2026

Buffalo Mountain Lodge was such a special experience! We checked in on October 7th, and from the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome. We connected with a gentleman from the United Kingdom who was incredibly personable, professional, and genuinely happy. (We’re so sorry we forgot your name, but we hope this reaches you!) Our stay was phenomenal! The hot tub, heated floors, bus passes, and absolutely gorgeous views—including the elk sightings—made everything feel magical. Ugh, we miss it already! ?? We’ll forever be grateful for the beautiful memories we made here. To the charming employee from the UK, thank you for your wonderful energy, kindness, and impressive work ethic. People like you make a place truly special! Thank you, Buffalo Mountain Lodge, for such an unforgettable stay. We hope to be back one day! With love and gratitude, The Bilellos, NYC ?????

Memorable stay

We were staying in a very beautiful room with a view through the trees, the service at the front desk and in the restaurant was friendly, the food delicious.

Pleasant hotel within easy reach of Banff

Kay1502 (Bristol, United Kingdom) on Oct 05, 2026

The location of the Buffalo Mountain Lodge is great. A 10 minute really easy bus ride out of the main town. Free bus passes are given by the hotel. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. We had a meal at The Prow which was great - we had the steak and it was cooked really well, and very tasty. We also got talked into desert, which again, was delicious. Our room was cosy - 2 queen beds, 2 armchairs and a desk with chair. We had our own fireplace with free logs provided. We didn't use this as it was cold enough, but I can imagine getting nice and cosy and having room service in the winter. The room was clean, the beds were comfy and overall we enjoyed our stay.

Good Place to Relax

Nick G on Sep 29, 2026

Great location but lots of stairs to get to individual lodges. Helpful staff, well appointed rooms, open log fire was welcome. Yes I would rebook. Good bus service into Village.
