10/10 Excellent
"Great location, great price, good amenities. Staff was very helpful. We showed up a little early but the manager just allowed us to check in without any added fee. Staff was very helpful finding things for us do. Rooms are clean and functional. Very comfortable and spacious. Bedding and towels are upto par with a high end hotel. There are several open areas for hangout with a nice outside view. Breakfast was ok and typical for such hotels. But covers the basics. Furniture in the room are bit shaby but functional. Did not bother me. I wish the restaurant was upstairs with outside view. I think it could be great to hang out not just for the guests but also outside patrons. I will definitely choose this place next time I visit Farbanks."

Aurora Villa

Aurora Villa

8/10 Good
"This stay was a surprise. It is off the beaten path nestled in the woods with neighboring homes with spacious lots. It is a modern building that looks like a modern home. It has gravel driveway. It has a self check in with a text to office/ staff for help if needed. They are responsive. Building is clean and provides slippers for the use inside. The room is clean, has desk, reading chair and a spectacular viewing window that proved to be very useful for catching the northern loghts. The kitchen downstairs was packed with goodies and frig was packed with various options and frozen food and treats. Kitchen area has a large sitting table. All and all it was one of the memorable places we have stayed. I am glad we went and did see the northern lights. But the northern lights due to weather and nature are not always visable."

10/10 Excellent
"The property is very clean and updated. It is located near everything and in a safe area. The owners checked on us to make sure we didn’t have any problems. Love the keyless entry also. We would definitely stay there again. The only partial downfall was staying on the 3rd floor and having to carry our Heavy suitcase up 3 flights. But not a big deal and worth it to have a nice place to stay."

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed for 3 nights and it was amazing! When researching this was the only place that would provide wake up calls to see the aurora. We lucked out and saw them 2/3 nights all from the comfort of the lodge. It was cozy place, breakfast was delish and Janet and Fred were the perfect hosts. I would definitely stay again. Thank you for your hospitality."
