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.).

Verified reviewThe location of the property is magnificent. It is right on the river. The lodge rooms were very comfortable with a rustic feel. It is a short walk or drive into downtown Talkeetna.
There is no breakfast available, but they did have coffee and water and a few snacks. Not a huge deal as long as you are aware. The Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge just down the road has an amazing view of Denali and has a good restaurant. It’s very convenient for meals.

Verified reviewThe lodge felt like home with a wonderful lobby to chat with other guests over complimentary coffee or tea. They even provided a large assortment of good snacks at a very reasonable rate. They offered a big selections of movies to watch, including local documentaries on Alaska, Denali and the Northern Lights. The library had a big selection of books on local history as well as fiction bestsellers. There was a nice lawn area and picnic tables next to the Susitna River which we enjoyed. They provided a ride to/from the train station. And the staff were incredibility friendly and helpful. We felt at home and have already recommended the lodge to friends.

Verified reviewThe lodge is located right next to the Susitna River. The river was about 50 feet from our room. The lodge is about a quarter mile from the airport and about a half mile from downtown Talkeetna.

Verified reviewWe loved our stay here! They provided roundtrip transportation to and from the train station since we didn't have a car, so that was the first gold star. The room itself was clean and comfortable and had beautiful views over the frozen river. We even saw the aurora through our window! It was a short walk to town for food and everyone was so friendly. Absolutely loved our time in Talkeetna and would recommend this lodge to anyone.

Verified reviewAmazing place to stay. Beautiful views from the room. Room clean and cozy. In the kitchen corner you have everything to make and enjoy the meal (pot, skillet, kettle, countertop burner, plates, silverware, mugs and glasses). We arrive late and the staff/owners wrote us a personal letter to navigate through the property.
