Licensing and Ratings
Tourism operators in PEI are committed to the quality and cleanliness of their properties. Islanders take great pride and time to ensure your accommodation or camping site is comfortable and well maintained.
All accommodations and camping sites listed have been inspected to ensure they meet the province's and industry's standards. Before booking a property not listed in the printed Visitor’s Guide, please confirm that it is licensed and inspected. Look for a posted license prior to check-in. It is your assurance that cleanliness and standards of comfort have been met.
Information contained in this website has been supplied by the operators and the accuracy of descriptions is not guaranteed. Details included in listings are meant to assist consumers in making choices. Rate information, for many properties, is presented as a low to high range. The low rate is often the lowest off-season rate available and listings will contain the phrase "Prices include off-season rates." If only one rate is shown, then it is the high rate and off-season rates are available directly from the property.
Prices are listed in Canadian dollars. Cancellation and deposit policies are set by the individual operator. Always check these policies prior to booking.
The area codes for Prince Edward Island are 902 and 782.
Canada Select
Within each of the five colour-coded regions, accommodations are listed alphabetically according to their rating category. Most listings show a Canada Select rating, which is based on a set of nationally accepted standards. If you stay at three-star properties elsewhere in Canada, you will find PEI three-star properties comparable. Ratings measure a property's facilities, services, quality and amenities. The rating program is voluntary and some operators choose not to participate; an unrated property does not imply low standards.
Based on consumer research, the Canada Select program revises the criteria it uses to assess accommodation properties and determine star ratings. Please read the descriptions to ensure the amenities you are looking for are available at the property you choose.
