Spending a month at the hostel was... AMAZING. Everything written on the description of this volunteering position is completely true. Working hours are fair, the food allowance is enough to get you through the week and Lynn, the manager of the hostel is an amazing person and she is always there to help you and talk with you if you need some support. The environment of the hostel is friendly and helps you adjust very quickly. Totally recommend this for first time solo travellers such as myself!!! Thank you guys for making this trip more special than I could have ever imagined!

My experience at the hostel was completely positive. The team is welcoming and inclusive of all volunteers, the work is easy to understand and follow. Hours are as advertised and the Manager Lynn is flexible in you choosing your day off if you have an activity planned :) I would recommend this volunteering opportunity to anyone, the hostel has many places to explore, including going to the isles. The food is also amazing! Thank you for the great 4 weeks I spent with you guys ❤️

I spent a very good month in the hostel. It's a small town, but it's beautiful, the locals are welcoming, and you can visit the surrounding islands. Lynn, the manager, and Alicia, the receptionist, are very kind and funny, and the other volunteers were great too. Thank you for everything ! I highly recommend this place if you love seafood, the sea, and beautiful sunsets.

I absolutely loved my time here. I originally applied to be here for two weeks and ended up staying a month. The team was caring and welcoming and the other volunteers became a family. the hostel is a cute little city (as much as you can call anything in the highlands a city) with reliable buses and a convenient location to get to the islands. There's also a couple of beaches nearby if you fancy a swim as myself and a couple of the other volunteers so often did. The hours were reasonable and you had plenty of time for yourself! I'd highly recommend volunteering here!

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I really couldn't think of a better first one! The manager, Jake, was so kind and welcoming from the second I met him, and the other volunteers were amazing as well. The tasks were manageable and clearly laid out and the working hours were respected! the hostel is a wonderful little town with so many hidden gems. My only regret is that I didn't arrive earlier in the season.

This place is great! This is one place I plan on coming back to. The building and the things inside are a bit older than preferred, but it works. This place always seems to have a good crew. Special shoutout to Jake the manager, and Lin who'll most likely be there next year. Absolute Legends! The hostel is in a great place for travelling to the islands, going to the woods, or just having a dram of whiskey at the distillery! All in all, the work was easy, well managed, and very reasonable. I feel privileged to have spent time here.

In the month I was here, I had the best time and honestly felt like I had found a family here! the hostel is a small enough town to have local charm but big enough that there's things to do ( like go to Markie Dans ;)). The schedule was organised in advance so we could plan to see all the beautiful things in the area and was very flexible. The times of the shifts were respected and the work was clear; very easy for volunteers to settle in. The work environment was great and you get to know the other volunteers so well from staying in the staff dorm.

I had the absolute best time at the hostel, the hostel is very fun, social and overall a great place to spent your time. The work is very easy and afterwards and on your days of you have more then enough time to enjoy the beautiful the hostel and the islands close by. I worked with many amazing people here and there was always a good vibe within the staff. It's a great hostel experience you want to be social, play a few games of pool, see a lot of amazing nature and if you enjoy cute and small coastal towns. I will forever cherish my time here❤️
