I volunteered at the hostels in Pitlochry, Skye, and the hostel — and the hostel was my favorite! The team is kind, fair, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The work is light and well organized, and the experience was amazing. I learned a lot about hostel life and made friendships I'll always cherish. I truly recommend this place to anyone looking for connection, learning, and a great environment. Thank you, the hostel team! 💙

The hostel is a wonderful, atmospheric place that's the perfect spot to base yourself for exploring the surrounding Highlands. I met many wonderful, interesting people during my 6 weeks there and had a great relationship with the rest of the team. The tasks and working hours expected of you as a volunteer are very fair, so you'll have plenty of free time to see all the charm and culture that the hostel offers. Thanks again to everyone who made my introduction to Scotland so easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend this experience!

As my first experience, I can truly say it was amazing. I met so many great people, practiced both English and Spanish, and explored beautiful places surrounded by abundant nature. The hotel is simply wonderful. It made me feel at home from the very first day. It's super comfortable, and the hospitality from Jason, Eloise, and Gordon made everything even better. They are such kind, welcoming people. I dare say I'll truly miss the warm and cozy atmosphere. I highly recommend this experience. It was safe, enriching, and truly unforgettable. :)

I really enjoyed my time here. It was a great group of people, and I had a lot of fun. You do only get one day off, so exploring can be a bit difficult. But overall, I had such a good time. You get to meet a lot of people, and the hostel is so welcoming. If you are thinking of going, you should!
