Licensing and Ratings
Tourism operators of Prince Edward Island are committed to quality, safety and cleanliness of their properties. Islanders take great pride in providing you with a place to stay that is comfortable and well maintained.
All accommodations and camping sites listed have been inspected to ensure compliance with provincial and industry standards. If you choose to book a property that is not listed on the tourismpei.com website, we recommend that you confirm that it is licensed and inspected. A posted licence is your assurance that cleanliness and standards of comfort have been met.
Operators have supplied the Information found in this website; the accuracy of descriptions is not guaranteed. The details included in listings are meant to assist you in making an informed choice. The 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 some listings will include "prices include off-season rates." If only one rate is shown, it is the high rate. Ask the operator directly about off-season rates for the property.
Prices are listed in Canadian dollars. Cancellation and deposit policies are set by individual operators. Always check these policies prior to booking.
Canada Select

Accommodations in all regions of PEI are listed alphabetically according to a rating category. Most listings show a Canada Select rating based on nationally accepted standards. If you stay at a three-star property 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 its criteria to assess properties and determine star ratings. Please read the descriptions to ensure the amenities you are looking for are available at the property you choose.
Categories and Star Definitions
