The views from this property are AMAZING! You definitely need a 4 wheel drive vehicle to get to it!
We enjoyed the provided breakfast.
Never saw any staff but didn't really need them for anything.

Great property, clean, comfortable and best of all with great orientation to see the Auroras. Breakfast was a bit minimalistic (frozen items in the cabin’s fridge). Felt awkward not to ever meet any Staff at the lobby but they were always quick to answer email or phone. We recommend it !

The place was definitely amazing. You can order food delivery from Walmart, but getting around without a car is extremely expensive. 75-100 dollars one way to anywhere.

Please see my long review on Google. But in a nutshell, I'd you want to see the Northern Lights stay elsewhere that gives you wake up calls. We missed amazing lights because we fell asleep and they no longer do the wake up calls.
If you just want isolated, quiet vacation and don't care about the lights, then this is perfect.
But checkout my Google review for more details and tips on Aurora Villa.

We chose this hotel for the northern lights. We had a room with big windows and that was perfect. The first night we had the whole place to ourselves. Breakfast is grab and make yourself which I actually liked. Made for a very private setting. The staff was great and responsive but we didn't need much help. Thanks for the stay.

I left my AirPods Pro at Aurora Villa. A staff member said he found it and would mail it to me. However, though my Airpods location, it says that the Airpods have been used and were taken outside of the cases at another place in Fiarbanks (another hotel, restaurant, etc.) Twenty days later, he said the AirPods were lost by USPS. What a good story. BTW, I stayed there for 3 nights, no one came to clean the room.

我们付了一晚670块钱美金，价钱太贵了，卫生还是可以打8-9分，这个酒店有些小细节倒是蛮贴心的，原本以为可以在房间看极光，以为是独立一座的，膈应很差，隔壁房的几个女孩很多声音都可以听到，物有所超出价值.

Great experience

The hotel is really stylish with lots of designer’s touch in both architecture and interior design. The location is a bit far from the city but it’s a great place for aurora viewing. The view from those huge glass windows is stunning. The nature outside of the building is gorgeous too. Kevin has been very informative and helpful. A few minor things: 1) the entry way is a bit messy with all the shoes/boots unorganized; 2) there is a second floor but no elevator or helpers with luggage

Quite with a beautiful view of mountains. Because we had more than 4 in family stayed in villa which was a bit older but comfortable and well equipped for a family. Nice to have some snacks and beverages available and communication for check in or general questions was excellent. About 20-25 minutes outside of Fairbanks proper but would recommend if looking for family get away and quite.

Beautiful Facility with A Lot of False Advertising

The facility and location is beautiful. Unfortunately that’s the only good thing to say.

This place is priced and advertised as a high end hotel, but there are literally NO staff there. You check yourself in, handle your own bags, they don’t clean your room. They give you a few crummy snacks in your room that never get replenished and that’s the extent of the food within 20 minutes.

It’s honestly just a hostel priced like a high end hotel. Which would be fine if it were advertised as such and priced appropriately. Overall very very disappointed with the experience.

I thought that the opportunity to see the Northern lights was amazing but there is no staff on site, the lodge was dirty and dusty, the water pressure and hot water non-existent. Still using COVID as an excuse not to serve breakfast at a B&B. Poorly maintained and cleared pathways and parking lot.

NO food, NO service, NO communication on site. NO support for activities. No airport service (like every other motel in Alaska) No timely check-in over 2 hours late, and didnt even finish.

Did NOT match renderings.

Feel completely ripped off. Check out Borealis basecamp -- now that is a worthy resort: food, communications, activities and more!

You should be embarrassed for false marketing. And I will be active on media warning other seasoned travels like us and others, so they dont buy your lies!

Not remotely luxury. Would NEVER recommend.

We originally chose that room because we wanted three rooms, and we were looking forward to checking in, but when I went over the room was not cleaned. The attendant did not understand our stay and the number of days, and there was no communication between the cleaning department and the front desk. In the end we were given a double and a single in addition to the room, without any other compensation. Not a very pleasant experience

This place is not deserving to be on Expedia.

Nonsense Checkin process. The “Main Window” can’t see out at night, due to poor lighting design and floodlights. No soft lights outside rooms to see outside. Dimmers don’t work.
Poorly designed. TV doesn’t work. Strict quiet time rules but the idiot who designed the place, installed all heavy weighted doors that are super loud.

If you get lucky to see “northern lights” which is unlikely due to outside floodlights, then good for you.

I do not recommend this place.

The Aurora Villa is a beautifully appointed retreat with exceptional views. The staff was responsive and kind.
Rooms are large with floor to ceiling windows which invite nature into your accommodations.

Before you arrive, stop by the store for food and drink as there no onsite restaurant or store close by.

Good for the views

The place was beautiful, awesome views, clean and very minimalistic style. However, there was no breakfast available (even though our reservation included it) and there was no service at all. Masks are still required (July 2021) even though the whole State does not ask for it anymore. This place needs to work to be a little bit more welcoming and cozy for their guests.

Bed and Breakfast with no breakfast

Bed and breakfast, with No Breakfast, no staff, no support. Check in was just painful and really complicated as there’s no one there. You are forced to send emails with your personal information including your credit card (actual pictures). They had several other requirements which they failed to disclose before arrival, specifically they requested us to send the Covid test results (instructions before getting there would have been very helpful). No food available, not even the breakfast they advertise. We left in the morning to find something to eat without interacting with a single soul. For the high cost of every night I would expect something completely different. Not worth it. Completely disappointed.

Excellent place - just offer coffee, please!

I appreciate services are limited because of COVID, but there was no coffee or any pre-packaged food available at all. At a minimum, they can buy small Keurig / Nescafe coffee makers for the rooms. Offering granola bars, bananas, microwave popcorn, etc. would be a nice touch since there is no food nearby (Fairbanks is 15 miles away). Otherwise, this place is stunning. The lodge, the rooms, the view - all excellent. I would definitely stay here again.
