He wanted to know what food I liked?! I mean who does that?! Just great. Such a cool experience to hear about the local aspects of Bethel as you are traveling. Also, the space is clean, homey (if that's a word?) and overall very comfortable. Scott makes you feel at home. Even picked me up and dropped me off at the airport. Overall, I would stay here again. I actually stopped back on my way from Mekoryuk and spent another night here. Highly Recommend! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Sam 28 Feb 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Caution Igloo of Enlightenment Unresponsive I did not stay at Igloo of Enlightenment because the host did not meet me per the booking instructions, also the host did not return my calls or provide alternate check-in instructions. Additionally, all hotels in the town were fully booked for the week and an alternative lodging was unavailable. As a result, I cancelled my Business trip and return home the same day cutting a three day trip to one day. ##### Sam Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### USMS AK 26 Feb 2022 ##### USMS AK Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laura 11 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Laura Stayed 1 night in Jan 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Evelyn 17 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Evelyn Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott 20 Jun 2021 ##### Scott Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### michael 3 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Hosts go above & beyond Hosts went above and beyond on everything.
