My partner and I stayed an extra month as we enjoyed the experience so much. The hours are fair as well as the work that's expected of you. I have some great memories of the hostel, both with guests and the other volunteers. The kitchen is spacious and the rest of the facilities are great for a hostel. The town itself is also worth exploring. It's tiny but there's a lot to see and the surrounding islands are easy and affordable to get to. Expect to play lots of pool.

I came to volunteer at the hostel with my partner for only a month but we ended up staying two months. I loved the hostel, the hostel is a really pretty town with so many beautiful islands to explore nearby. The hostel really felt like a second home for the past 2 months, the team is great, we have met so many travelers, volunteers & guests, that made the place special. We never had any problem with the working shifts, the hours agreed on are respected and we had plenty of time to explore and chill. This group was truly a special one! Lynn is adorable, Indy is a lovely soul.

Volunteering at the hostel was an awesome experience!! I felt welcomed here from day one, the other volunteers were super chill and friendly. I would extend my stay if I could!! Everyone had an average of 25 hours a week, but we got days off or days with only one short shift. And it's a great location, at the end of the Main Street so you can walk to the grocery store and the ferry terminal and the bus station. I will miss this place and I would extend my stay if I could <3

I stayed here for 3 weeks and had a great time. Didn't really get to meet the manager very much but the assistant Lyn was so welcoming, helpful and kind. Such a beautiful place to stay and visit. I would recommend going during warmer Scotland months, because they didn't have heat running in the end of October which was cold. Otherwise the place was Very clean, everyone working here was very nice and welcoming. So happy I got to stay in the hostel. I met so many different personalities from all over. It created a welcoming environment. Began to feel like a home.

The hostel has a special place in my heart after my time volunteering. All the volunteers/staff are amazing, the expectations and work was clear and more than reasonable. Schedules were super flexible with plenty of time off to explore the neighbouring islands and other parts of the highlands. Couldn't recommend enough, especially with the group I worked with <3

The hostel is a nice place, the hostel is nice, the team is nice, sadly I only stayed two weeks and sadly I didn't have the opportunity to connect with them but they were very kind to me even though I wasn't living a good moment... The tasks are simple, in my opinion the communication of how to do the tasks correctly and avoid any inconvenience could be improved, but yeah, I think u will have fun in the hostel ❤️

My time at the hostel was way better than i was expecting! the team there are so welcoming and supportive. the managers grant and india are great managers, offering a fair and flexible working environment. the shifts were between 7am to 2am, broken up into 3/4 hour shifts over 4 different roles. the work itself is very straightforward and easy to pick up, just remember you're there to assist in keeping the hostel clean and welcoming for guests! the location is perfect to get outdoors on your days off, with many ferries to the islands and buses out into the highlands. highly recommend!!

It was my first experience and it was incredible! We normally worked from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm, working hours were adhered to. I was lucky to have Jeane as a manager who was a sweet person and was always concerned about us. I also had the opportunity to go to Fort Williams to the same hostel and I also loved my stay there. the city is small, there isn't much fun, but if you like mountains this is the right place!
