The mattress was squeaky and the door latch was really noisy so I would recommend bringing earplugs.

Cute little outdoor campsite/tent hostel. Sven welcomed me at the door, gave me a tour and explained how to use the propane heater overnight. I was worried I would be cold but Sven provided me with an additional blanket so I was very warm. The (paid in quarters) hot shower was excellent and I was pleasantly surprised to see a hairdryer and hair straightener in the women’s bathroom. The kitchen was clean and the wifi connection worked at a good speed.

Parking could be closer to the cabins.

Expected typical hostel accommodation but this is amazing cabin stay instead :) Property run by very lovely people. Very good standard of shared facilities. Very nice & personalized welcome sign on the door.

Got cold, didn't know heater was in room on a shelf. So was a little cold.

It's Alaska, what's not to like.

I was a bit cold in the dormitory rooms with the sleeping bag arrangement. Blankets might have been better for insulating against the cold.

The hostel was super cute and beautiful! Do try the coffee shop inside the hostel premises. It is the cutest little place. The private rooms are very comfortable with heating provided. The bathrooms were clean and the showers were nice and hot.

Most adventurous place to stay for an adventurer. Sven’s crew always takes great care of you and there are never any issues with anything. People are lovely as the landscape

I wish the city buses could drop me off closer.

The staff was friendly. The other guests were cool. I was able to buy bear spray here.

I felt I was misled from the description on the website. It definitely is a campground Bathhouse a distance from the cabin. Mattress was a 2 inch foam on a hard wooden platform of a bunk bed. Paid showers No sheets or towels provided. If you are camping and prepared it meets your needs. There are some pretty little cabins but mine was in a back corner with a storage area of lumber etc surrounding it. Maintenance personnel were friendly but in AM I wanted assistance with directions and person managing desk was rushed and rude.

The main area was pretty with a little garden but that was not my location

Clean, amenities were great and well taken care of. Comfortable atmosphere.

The bed was very uncomfortable. It needs to be replaced.

Good price, convenient, clean, great place with facilities.

Quarters for showers… we got in past midnight and there was no where to make change… our fault for not being thorough.

Adorable. Absolutely loved the tree house! The room and bed were so comfortable. The coffee was delicious! Like surprisingly so. Real espresso at a base camp? Amazing!!

Sven’s Basecamp Hostel is a beautiful place, close to Fairbanks Town and close to the Airport. The staff was really nice

Stayed in July 2023

The toilets were always very clean but there were only three of them, and one of the three had apparently been out of order for some time. These toilets are used by both staff and guests, and when the hostel is at full capacity that means 40 people are trying to use these toilets! ONLY TWO TOILETS IS WOEFULLY INADEQUATE FOR THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WAITING TO USE THEM!!!!

The staff were so friendly and accommodating and the proximity to the airport and the big box stores was too.

Emily(?) who was working the front desk was really nice and helpful, really made my stay much easier!

Loved Sven's basecamp, nice and chilled with friendly staff and a good coffee shop. Sven is a really interesting guy and is super helpful and friendly. It's a little out of the way if you don't have a vehicle but it's easy to get an uber. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again .

No food options.

Stayed in July 2023

There are only three bathrooms, one of which has apparently been out of service for quite a while. That left only TWO toilets for both staff and guests to use. When the hostel is completely full that means that 40 people are expected to share these two toilets. THAT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!

The staff was exceptional. All of them were extremely pleasant and accommodating.
