The Experience
Hi! We are a small hostel in the Scottish highlands, we are needing a volunteer to help us with general household duties. Making beds, hoovering, toilets/showers, gardening etc. Cleaning starts at 10:30 am until 14:30 pm so you still have your day to explore. 24hrs work a week, 6 days a week for 4 hrs a day. If you think you'd be a great fit for the team let us know!

Volunteering at the hostel Backpacker is one of those experiences you will never forget! The hostel atmosphere is super friendly and welcoming. The tasks and the working hours are pretty fair. Thanks Dave and Danni for the lovely stay. I hope to come back soon 🩷

An amazing experience! the the hostel was cosy, fun and so so welcoming! David and Dani are both clear about which tasks need to be completed each day and made sure the workload was shared equally. Dave tries really hard to honour day off requests so you can have time to see and explore the west coast. I was made to feel really welcome and loved being part of this team!

I had the best time ever!! The shifts are easy manageable, especially during winter season because it's not too full. You have enough time to explore the nature of the hostel! I made the best friends and we built this little volunteer family😘
