Billie was kind of grandma for me; very special. I went there with my friend and she always was concerned about anything, trying to help us to solve any doubt or problem. I went there from Nov. 19th-24th 2011. As everbody said, the atmosphere in the hostel is different. I felt like I'm in some Alaskan friend's home. Also the... More

Billy is more than welcoming, and really flexible. The place is really great value , kitchen and clean. It is just small and can be packed so quickly, so do not forget to book, and if you do not like packed place, be prepared. The good value is that there is place for tents and the cheapest we ever found.... More

I stayed here for a bit back in January and must say that this tops the list of hostels that I have stayed at. Billie gives you a warm welcome on arrival as do her two pugs. She is an amazing woman and will help you with anything you need to better enjoy your stay. All of the dorm rooms... More

Billie is a cute lady and the hostel was cool too. Initially I didn't get a good impression - I rocked up and had to wait for a bit to see Billie, get set up, and the bed spread was tiny so I got a bit cold during night - but after the first night, it was great. Lovely people... More

Stayed here for one night between Denali and flying out to Bettles. Billie is a lovely, kind person and a couple of the long term residents there are also friendly and willing to show a tourist the best of their town. I really enjoyed my one night here and would most definitely return if I find myself back in Fairbanks. More

Billie’s is not your usual Hostel – and it’s difficult to describe. As the lucky visitor there one gets this special “Alaska Feeling”. Everybody there feels it but nobody can name it. The atmosphere in this Hostel is steeped in this “Alaska Thing”. I stayed there for several days before I rode up to Prudhoe Bay and when I returned... More

My Partner and I loved this hostel, we travelled all over Alaska in Winter and none were as welcoming, friendly and helpful as Billies Back Packers. She provides excellent coffee, and even gave us our own room because we were a couple at no extra cost. The set up of the hostel is how a hostel should be and if... More
