Welcome to the Pribilof Islands work and housing facilities. These government facilities are smoke-free facilities. Guests staying at these facilities are responsible for the daily maintenance and upkeep of the facilities. Caretakers of the facilities are not cleaning personnel and are not responsible for cleaning after guests depart. Please leave living and work spaces clean and report any maintenance or repair needs to the caretaker of the facility. If a room appears not to have been cleaned prior to  occupancy, please report that to the caretaker as well. The on-site caretaker will conduct a pre-departure inspection to insure all cleanliness criteria have been met.

Below are the guest cleaning procedures to be followed. These are not extensive, but are meant to provide a clear understanding of the agency’s expectations. Adherence to these guidelines is a prerequisite for future use of these accommodations. We appreciate all efforts toward keeping our facilities clean and safe places to work in the Pribilof Islands.
