Throughout British Columbia an Approved Accommodation sign is awarded to tourist
accommodations that have met Tourism British Columbia's standards of courtesy,
comfort and cleanliness. Qualifying establishments display a white Approved
Accommodation sign. Wherever
and whenever you travel, especially during peak season, it is best to book in
advance. Each establishment generally requires the equivalent of the daily rate
to hold the reservation. When reserving accommodation, it is recommended that
you ask for the establishment's cancellation and refund policy. Hotels,
motels and other lodgings are required to list room rates on a rate card, conspicuously
displayed in each room. Campground/RV site rates and policy notices must be posted
conspicuously in the registration area. Visitors should contact the establishment
directly to verify all quoted rate details. Harmonised
Sales Tax (HST) of 12% is applicable to all accommodation charges, and local Municipal
Government, where approved, levies an additional 2% hotel room tax on accommodation
bills. The 8% provincial Hotel Room Tax was eliminated with the implementation
of HST on July 1, 2010.
Complaints about an accommodation facility should first be addressed with the
management of the property. If not resolved, the matter can be referred to:
