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):
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.
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.).

United StatesIt’s very little that I didn’t like. I run hot at night and the microfiber sheets did not suit me. Would have preferred 100% cotton sheets.
It was so clean, spacious and cozy. It’s like coming home and everything is well stocked. We did laundry, cooked, and rested well. We explored Denali and enjoyed time at Chena hot springs the next day. Sometimes you just need to stay in a cozy place. We enjoyed our meals on the deck with the birds chirping with a view of the mountains. Soaked up the sunlight while enjoying drinks on the swinging benches. The house had everything we needed and more! Definitely coming back to see Donna!

United StatesDonna was a fantastic host and her home was very clean and accommodated our family well. The home is located just down the road from large grocery stores and restaurants. We enjoyed the use of the deck that we could use to watch the endless hours of sun and the kitchen had all the amenities to cook easily for the family. The living room was cozy and had plenty of seats to fit all of us comfortably. The bathrooms had shampoo, conditioner and body wash which was great as we had traveled up and down Alaska. We used the washing machines in the garage which was in a clean and bright area and easy to use. Overall everything was great and we would use her home again for our future stays. Donna’s was super sweet as well and communicated with me throughout our planning. We had a chance to meet Donna and she is so sweet and makes you immediately feel welcomed and like family. A great experience and we can’t wait to plan our next Alaska trip!

This might be the best BNB I've ever stayed. The room was very clean, the beds are very comfortable and smells clean, the kitchen appliances are complete, I know the host prepared this unit with care by the little details - the coffee options, the different and many towel sizes and options, the pamphlets and books of Alaska guide, the complete TV set list like Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc. The location of this house is strategic, near groceries and downtown, and many restaurant options. One thing that I am very grateful for is the host, Donna. She went above and beyond, she is very warm, welcoming, friendly, and care about her guests. She helped us watch the night sky waiting for the aurora to come up. She also gave us pizzas which we like very much. Definitely recommend to stay in this house!

United StatesThere were a few things missing from the kitchen tools and appliances that would make cooking meals a little more convenient, and a few more games or puzzles would be nice for longer stays. But overall everything is well supplied and sufficient for our needs.
Donna was absolutely well above and beyond hostess expectations. She has earned friend status in my book! She was thoughtful, generous, and super accommodating with our arrival and extended stay! We are so happy we added 2 days to our stay. She even called us when the Northern Lights were visible at 12:45am because she knew that was the main purpose of our visit. I have already recommended Northern Knights to all my siblings that now want to travel here! Thank you for making my bucket list family trip dream to see the Northern Lights a reality, a true life-long wish fulfilled with comfort and ease💜The fresh fruit and other snacks was a highlight of our arrival. The close proximity to Walmart, Costco, and tons of restaurants or fast food options made this a perfect place to go exploring and come home to all the comforts of a real home, not hotel living. Donna gave us great info about places to visit based on our plans, and was super easy to contact when needed.

United StatesNo issues.
The property was great with 3 bedrooms and everything in clean and good order. We used this location for a Fairbanks center to go see the Northern Lights. From here we tried three Viewing spots one west, one north and one east of town. We also added on visits to the North Pole for the Junior dog sled finals and the Ice Carving so being in town was a real plus. Had a great time. Having a kitchen was great for us as well. Fresh cookies out of the oven and with some dietary limits your own cooking is worry free. The owner was very responsive to any questions as well. I would stay again.

United StatesWe had an exceptional stay at this beautiful home, which exceeded our expectations in every way. As locals to Fairbanks, we were pleasantly surprised to find a place that felt so comforting and relaxing. The reason for our stay was a family member's hospitalization, and we needed a convenient and restful place to stay between visits. This home delivered on all fronts, with incredibly comfortable mattresses, a clean and quiet environment, and a thoughtful host who went above and beyond to make our stay special. The host, Donna, was easy to communicate with, provided everything we needed, and even alerted us to northern lights sightings. We highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a welcoming and comfortable place to stay in Fairbanks, and we would definitely stay here again.

United StatesEverything was really excellent.
Donna, our host, did an outstanding job of welcoming us into her home, giving us lots of information about what to see in Fairbanks, including taking extra time and trouble to each night check many times when and where to see the Northern Lights. In short, Donna treated us like family. The B&B itself was recently redecorated with all new carpets and new matching furniture in all the rooms. The kitchen is also excellent. The property is on a quiet street and is easy to find. It”s also close to Costco, Walmart and other stores. It’s a great place.
