How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

There was nothing negative.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay at Maryanne’s place. She is an incredibly kind and welcoming host, and from the very beginning we felt completely at home. In fact, we enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay twice! The atmosphere was warm and genuine, even when Maryanne’s friends came to visit. We shared a lovely dinner together and went on a beautiful hike as a group—it truly felt like being part of a family for a few days. We rarely have this much fun and feel so comfortable when traveling. The accommodation itself is new and in excellent condition—clean, modern, and very well maintained. We can only recommend this place. Thank you, Maryanne, for such a memorable experience!

Verified reviewExceptionally clean Very helpful owner, sent us off with extra water and snacks for our trip. Creative, quality breakfast that included homemade Alaska rose honey, Alaska blueberry pancakes and scrambled eggs with bits of salmon.
I did not realize when I booked that breakfast was not included. This may have been my fault in viewing the website and explained why her rates were not as high as others. The $15/ person for breakfast turned out to be a good value, and we still less spent than at some other options.

Verified reviewLoved this as the perfect and very comfortable start and end point to our loop road trip up the Parks to Fairbanks via Denali, and back down the Richardson and Glen. If we'd had more time there was clearly lots to do around Palmer/Wasilla itself. Immaculately clean room in an Immaculately clean, gorgeous, house, and the host couldn't have been any nicer! This is a wee gem of a place to stay in Alaska, highly recommend!
This isn't something we didn't like, but just to note that you will need a car to stay here as there are no places to eat or drink in walking distance.

Verified reviewMaryanne was a wonderful hostess. Her breakfasts were delicious and filling and ready at or earlier than the time requested. Though the house was in a neighborhood, there were still beautiful views of the mountains and night sky.
The only thing I didn't like was having to lug our suitcases upstairs and our private bathroom was downstairs, but there was a nice sitting room upstairs with coffee/tea, games, TV.

Verified reviewThe location is beautiful, we visited in August when temperatures in Alaska we in the mid-60s during the day. The team tending to the house was warm and friendly and engaging. Yet absolutely allowed for and respected our privacy.
Because of the time of year we were in Alaska, ceiling fans or AC units in the rooms would have been nice. And after our bathroom location issue was resolved, the stay was great.

Verified reviewThe amenities provided were superb - particularly the little extras in the bathroom like face cream, shaving foam and razor, cotton balls, loads of varied shampoos and conditioners, etc. Also loads of tea/coffee available, and games and books available too. Best kitted out place I've ever stayed anywhere - better than my house! Comfortable - plenty of space to sit either in the room or in common areas. Really comfy and cosy bed. Maryanne the host was very friendly and helpful - offered us a home cooked meal (which we declined but the thought was there). Location was in rural area so was super quiet.
