Sven’s Basecamp Hostel is a great place to stay and full of very fun people! The facility is very clean and the staff is fantastic! The walled tent was great and very spacious. The evening atmosphere is a lot of fun and you will meet some very interesting people from all over the world! I highly recommend Svens in Fairbanks!

This was the first time we had stopped at a hostel. I am so happy we did. We found a number of wall tents that could be rented or beds in a dorm or a few dry cabins and one treehouse. There were spaces for tents, a shared kitchen with 2 shared refrigerators and freezers, 3 shared toilets, 2 shared showers and an area to watch TV or play games or whatever. We plan on staying here again on our way back thru. All ages from many many countries. Lots of shared laughter and conversations.

Super cool place, one of my best experiences ever, staying in a treehouse! Great staff and everyone’s was very friendly. Sven himself was very helpful and time sensitive while communicating with us. They gave us great suggestions on where to go and see the northern lights as well.
