Everything was great, though the laundry cost could have been explained a bit more clearly.

The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready with helpful information—whether it was about getting around, finding a terrific meal (Thai), local tips, or just making sure I felt at home. Billie herself brings such a warm, positive energy to the place, and it sets the tone for the whole vibe. What I loved most was the community atmosphere. I met travelers from all different backgrounds and age groups, and it was easy to connect. It really felt like more than just a hostel—it was a space to meet people and feel part of something bigger.

Both the showers were in the same room as the toilets. A few times people were needing the toilet but long showers were keeping them unavailable. There's nothing that can really be done about this but it did seem to be an issue at times.

Billie's is a delightful hostel - a great place to chill and enjoy the company of other travellers. We staying in a room as well as camping in the garden. Camping was on a flat grassy lawn with full use of all the facilities inside. The kitchen was very well equipped and the shower great.

This place reminded me of my childhood. Billie extended a very warm welcome to her property. She took us around and showed us everything. This backpackers hostel is no ordinary. It's better than 5 Star Hotel, if you care for respect, kind hospitality warmth of guests and hosts is out of ordinary.

Room small, and heard voices from other guests.

The stay at Billie’s hostel was part of the excitement of an Alaska trip. Met fascinating people. Billie and her family were great, friendly and helpful hosts, and fellow travelers had amazing stories to tell.

I didn't like that one of the rooms is in the middle of the way to the other rooms. It was 5 beds, 4 in bulk and one extra there

It is a very basic hostel, that is really nice, that have everything that you need for the price you pay. Kitchen is clean, bathrooms are clean. I would recommend if you want to spend one night, I am not sure if I would stay more than one night, but is a personal opinion. The crew is nice.

Everything including the owner Billie. She is a sweetheart and I never ever expected what she did for me (a total stranger) on my birthday. I cant thank her enough. Walter took the pain of dropping me to the airport at odd hours. So thank you frm the bottom of my heart!! I highly recommend this property by all means.

Nice folks good place

The twinroom didn't have much light. There was a wall straight behind the window. There were many things and it was perhaps a bit dusty for this. The doubleroom next to it looked much better.

Lovely place and very lovely people. Good coffee ready for us every morning.

Misplaced my metal coffee mug. The owner gave me a replacement but it was pink and mine was blue and larger. It was my fault. Just joking this is a great place. I like everything about it.

Perfect location. I'm a senior and the local bus is free. The bus line stop was very close

Billie and her son were very nice and accommodating. The place was comfortable and was a good location from the city. Would definitely recommend.

Such a nice hostel. Always meet interesting people here and always feel so welcome in Billy's unique home. Staying here is more like coming home than being on the road.

A little far from the centre, but this wasn't a bad thing as I got to take bus rides all over town which was very much fun!

Very friendly family, felt homely and cosy. They were helpful and attentive, decoration was beautiful and there was always coffee available.

Billie’s hostel is like a home away from home! My friend and I stayed in a private room for four nights and could not recommend it enough. The facilities are all clean and regularly attended to, and the place as a whole is BEAUTIFUL down to every last detail. The other travelers staying there at the same time were kind, respectful, and generous, and it was nice to have the common area space to either socialize or exist quietly near one another. Billie herself is also an amazing woman and anyone who has the privilege of staying in her hostel and meeting her is very lucky! Highly recommend and will return if and when I am in the Fairbanks area again.
