The best place I have ever been to! I have travelled all around the world, but I never have such a good time as I had at Billie’s. I am not a huge hostel fan, but I am so happy I choosed this over an Airbnb, Billie, Art and Ray are so good harted people, and also I feel like all the travellers here were very genuine people. The hostel itself was super clean, very cozy, and had everything you might need. It had such a family vibe, and we really had a good time. Thank you so much for everything, wish to be back soon!

I loved every minute of my stay.

I loved the cozy atmosphere and friendliness of staff. Billie was so sweet and happy to answer any questions. Ray gave some great advice about chasing the northern lights and other activities in the area. I will be back!

Everything was clean other than some guests not cleaning up after themselves in the kitchen. At one point I needed a towel and there weren’t any. But we are all human!

Billie's is a hostel that feels like a guest house- because Billie lives here and many family members are also active in the daily running of the business. Billie's is located in a lovely neighborhood- safe & quiet. I loved the the rooms with their cozy rugs, well-equipped kitchens, and spotless bathrooms! This hostel is a few minutes walk to great coffee, a health food store, Museum of the North/Univ AK, World Ice Art Championships, and many restaurants & conveniences. Sometimes you can see the Northern Lights right outside your door if you go at the right time of year- even with the neighbor's house lights on!

I've traveled alone several times and i had never felt so good! Billie was amazing! So attentive and generous! And the people! Aaaaw the people I met there were super familiar... The most awesome experience in an hostel in my whole life!

I’m an Alaskan illustrator who frequently travels out of anchorage to attend markets and events. This can be difficult outside of the summer months, as accommodations can be VERY expensive, even for a low level motel. I was very happy to discover Billie’s Backpackers Hostel, where I was able to spend two very comfortable nights for just around $80. It’s an EXCELLENT option for people on a budget. The house is beautiful, and very comfortable. I was assigned the top bunk in a room with 4 other occupied beds. The bed had a great quality mattress, and nice sheets. Bathrooms were clean, and Odor free. My fellow guests were all friendly, polite, and we all took care not to disturb one another. Getting in and out was hassle free, overall, it was an excellent experience. I’ll definitely be staying at Billie’s again the next time I’m in Fairbanks.😊

Nice and cozy, had everything I needed. Since I had a late flight they let me check out later which helped me a lot!

Nothing to complain about.

Billie made me feel right at home. They bed was super comfy and I had a fresh pot of coffee waiting for me when I woke up. I enjoyed talking to other travelers that were staying there. I especially loved the huge map of Alaska in the common area. It was a great conversation starter with other guests to compare and share trips that we are going and have done. Oh, and having a free bike to get around was great too!

Enjoyed everything. I really have nothing to complain about.

the hosts were coordial, location was fantastic ( easy commune from airport and downtown via public transport), clean,well decorated and maintained

everything was fine until the check out day. i had a morning flight and cabs were unavailable. tried to reach out to the host by ringing bell and calling (it was mentioned as a 24*7 available contact) but no one responded. luckily I got the cab by my own but the hosts need to be more responsive as there could be immergencies

This hostel is a little paradise in Fairbanks. It's the best place to relax and meet wonderful people! Billie and her mom are absolutely adorable. I spent 5 nights here and I wish I could have stayed longer! It feels like home. The beds are very comfortable, everything is clean and the decor is beautiful. Special mention for the garden, there are small fountains and chimes which create a relaxing atmosphere. Magnificent flowers and we even come across squirrels! This is definitely where you should put your bags, you will have a wonderful and relaxing stay! A huge thank you for everything you have given me.

Everything! It was sooo nice to stay in a home, sleep in a comfy bed in a quiet place and have a hot shower. The place is spacious and so cozy! Billie is more than hospitable and genuinely kind. She gave me great suggestions for my short day and let me leave my stuff until a ride came for the airport (which thankfully I was able to schedule with a guy Billie recommended. Ubers aren’t much of a thing in Fairbanks I discovered!)

It was perfect for my last night in Alaska. I’d just suggest that if you don’t have a car, I discovered Fairbanks can be hard to get around! But Billie’s has bicycles and the bus station is right up the road. Just bring $3 exact change for a day pass and check the schedules if you take the bus. Only wish I’d stayed longer!
