Reviews of Bent Prop Inn & Hostel of Alaska

17 January 2011

Liked: The fact that I could leave.

Disliked: The 'hostel' is unhygenic, rubbish bins overflowing, bathrooms have not been cleaned to the point where the taps in the shower are slimy. The place smells very bad. When I arrived around 6pm - my bed had not had the sheets removed from the previous person and were taken off in front of me, then clean sheets were given to me. The bed had not been changed for a good couple days after that previous person had left... The 'kitchen' is absolutely disgusting in terms of cleanliness / facilites. There is not a single utensil / cup / plate available due to the fact that because people are living there permanently - if they do not wash the dishes after themselves, they are confiscated. The people living there are drinking out of yogurt pots. So for real backpackers who are there for a short time, the so-called facilities are absolutely appalling. Also, toilet paper is not provided. This is not mentioned in their 'write-up'. This place is for people who have no real hope and are living there permanently as a little 'community'. The majority of people there are severely unhinged. I actually feared for my own safety especially on the last night I was there, hence I did not extend my stay. This is not a nice place and as a single female backpacking - I should never have to fear for my safety like that.

Liked: I rate this place as "excellent", or "the best ever", instead of "good". It's hard to say how nice my stay was. I met the best people ever, and made not only friends, but a new FAMILY that will always be in my heart. Everybody is extremely helpful, the location couldn't be better, it's definitely the cleanest place I've ever been and staff or other guests were incredibly nice. I could talk more and more about it, but I'll just say money can't pay what I got there.

Disliked: Nothing. I only I disliked the fact that I had to leave.
