    I'm an introvert, I was too shy that I didn't open up. Maybe on my next stay I will be more open.

    How quiet it was, and the atmosphere was good. The people there were amazing, but I liked the chickens more, I wished I held one.

    At first thought where am I it appears to be miles form everywhere but soon realised easy to get around.

    Staff super friendly engaging unfortunately couldn't do hikes but they looked great. The atmosphere made you feel like your at home with out having to do chores or work. Loved every minute of experience

    I can't think of anything that fell short.

    Chris helped me check in and get grounded after 8 summer days off the grid in Alaska. Thanks, Chris. Sharing yerba mate (*before/instead of the bars!) was a highlight with six of my new friends--F*rnanda, R*ch, M*rcelo, N*cole, L*uren....and m*re... there are always comings and goings at a bustling hostel. Walkable neighborhood, and also, get a bicycle! Anchorage is very bike friendly.

    Perfect place to use a Base Camp in Anchorage for your adventures in Alaska. Clean, quiet, everything you need is there. Also rental equipment as well if needed ( tents, backpacks, bear boxes or bags, bear spray, .. ).

    I really enjoyed my 4-night-stay in Base Camp Hostel. It`s a small hostel, easy to reach by bus from Airport and Downtown, close to supermarket, restaurants, McDonald`s, Burger King, KFC, Bike Shop, bakery. Free coffee and selfmade breakfast in hostel. I rent a bike from hostel and had a very nice trip on Coastal Trail. There is a big Tippi-Tent in the backyard and we had a beautiful campfire with Marshmellow Sandwiches. I was in a 4-bed-dorm on upper bunk bed. Special thanks to Ole, Dawson, Chris and Dyan the nice and helpful staff.

    The neighborhood feels a little bit sketchy, but the hostel is absolutely safe!

    The place is pretty close to the airport. You can take the bus and be there at about 20'-25'! The guys are super helpful and the overall stay is very nice! The beds are cosy and the blinding curtains really usefull (bear in mind that at the time I visited the sun did set at about 23:30!). The atmosphere in the whole hostel is warm and everyone makes you feel right at home!

    The price has gone up, pretty expensive for a bed in a shared dormitory room.

    The location is good close to restaurants I like and shops. The staff were very friendly and helpful as always.

    Thank you so much for the warm welcome! I didn’t expect much at first, but my stay here turned out to be truly wonderful. The place is so cozy, clean, and comfortable just like a little home away from home.The owner is incredibly kind and helpful, which made my time before going to Denali even more special. I’m really grateful for your hospitality

    Anchorage is kind of a dump. I guess Base Camp is an appropriate name, because it's a stopover for travelers. There really isn't much to do in Anchorage other than visit the Anchorage Museum.

    Helpful friendly staff. They provide just about everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Free breakfast and coffee, soap and shampoo, and lots of information on Alaska.

    Nice place near downtown and other popular areas. You can buy stuff from amazon and they will save it for you (although it's $1 per day if you don't pick it up the same day). Breakfast is good though the dynamic is that they give you basic ingredients to make your own pancakes, then you have to cook them. In general I had a pretty good time over there.
