Having had a great time volunteering at the hostel in fall, I came back to see the area in winter and catch up with the staff who were warm as always. Can confirm the hostel is welcoming with great vibes all year round, and there arel plenty of outdoor activities to do in winter.

The hostel is a cozy hostel where you can meet people from all over the world. The town per se is nothing special but it's a good starting point for hiking or visiting wonderful places nearby! The work is easy (making beds and cleaning common spaces) and the hours respected. The volunteers room and the kitchen are a bit small but that's the only negative thing I can think of! Come here if you like hiking or chatting with other travellers 🌟

I immediately felt part of the team, and had a fantastic time working in the hostel! The staff are very warm and friendly, and got to spend time with everyone I worked with. Also the hostel lounge is one of the cosiest you can ever find! the hostel and the surroundings have a lot to offer in terms of nature and outdoor activities which will keep you occupied for weeks!

I'm so thankful for my time at the hostel! The hours were respected and I got plenty of time to explore the Highlands, with trails starting just outside the hostel! 😍 Truly a magical stay in the hostel, and I will miss my time with the volunteers 😊 Thank you for everything! And I thoroughly recommend this hostel to anyone!

I was warmly welcomed by Lynn; she is an incredibly sweet and kind person. This was by far my best volunteer experience in Scotland, and I am very happy to have connected with such amazing people and to have lived so well at the hostel Backpacker. The volunteers receive a weekly allowance to buy food, and breakfast can be shared with the guests. Even though I wasn't at my best, I felt like I was in a family environment. I am very happy and satisfied with everything. My goal now is to come back. Thank you, Lynn <3

Right from the first moment I felt so welcome as if it was my home. The two weeks I stayed at this beautiful place rushed like two days. The staff is great, the dorm really cosy and the tasks absolutely manageable. This was my first time ever of travelling and having such an experience at a hostel and now I don't want to do anything else again! Besides the hostel, the hostel Willy is a beautiful place to live, where you can go hiking, swimming, having cultural experiences or hanging just around. I totally recommend this place to everybody who wants to visit Scotland and the Westcoast! Love you guys!

I absolutely love my stay here, I stayed for 7 weeks and I honestly don't want to leave, is the kind of places that feels like home. The hostel environment is pretty chill and peaceful, the tasks are easy to follow and you get enough time to explore the surrounding areas. If you like Harry Potter the Glenfinnan viaduct is just 30 min train from here. Glencoe is also 30 min far, as many hikes to do, definitely the place that any lover of outdoors activities would love. Thanks to Lynn the best manager and Laura for everything. I hope to be back some day 💖

The hostel and its community is an absolute dream. The work is exactly as prescribed and the communication was always good. On Sunday we could give our preferences for the next week to the manager and they were always respected. The facilities are good and you can be assured that you'll have everything you need. We had lots of fun as a team and at the same time could always rely on one another. the hostel Willy is a great place that has lots to offer. Nice cafés, a cinema, nights out at the pub with the volunteers and guests and lots of hikes and beautiful nature! I can't wait to be back :)!
