My time at the the guest house is something I will never forget! Kinlochleven is a quiet, safe, and absolutely stunning place to hike around by yourself/other volunteers/Lewis. Lewis made me feel right at home, and I appreciated the mutual trust we had as strangers who became friends over my stay. The work was easy, and you get into a good routine with it, while still having time to explore the surrounding area. I took the bus to Glencoe quite a bit - I just couldn't get enough of the highland cows there! I became great friends with other volunteers here and will miss them dearly!

I truly loved my time here! The work was very reasonable and views in every direction are breath taking. Lewis is such a kind soul that gets along with absolutely everyone. You couldn't ask for a better host. Will definitely be coming back!

I had a lovely experience volunteering, the tasks are well structured & ordered. Luis was an excellent host, we played lots of games/hiked/laughed. The room had a beautiful view of the mountains. I'm grateful for my time spent here and for the lovely people I got to meet! I'd recommend to anyone looking for a slow nature getaway!

The time I spent here at the the guest house was extraordinary. Lewis is an amazing person and we got along so well. We went on some hikes together with anothe volunteer and he showed and told us about history and landmarks in this area. Work was definitely manageable and you have a good amount of freetime where you can just roam around the surrounding hills/mountains or chill in your cozy little room with a great view of said mountains. Kinlochleven and my time here will have a special place in my heart. 🫶🏻

Volunteering at the the guest house was an amazing first Worldpacker experience for me and my friend. Lewis was a very welcoming and friendly host, who made sure that we had enough time to really explore the nature around Kinlochleven. Even though it is a small village, it is wonderful if you enjoy hiking and exploring nature. We had some great recommendations by Lewis on which routes to take to get the best views. Beyond that, the volunteering work was pretty easy and always amazingly explained. All in all, me and my friend had a great time at Lewis' the guest house and would greatly recommend it! :)

Besides Lewis being one of the funniest people I've met, he was also a welcoming and very caring host. The work was manageable and easy to do, and we had a lot of free time for ourselves. Kinlochleven is quite small but the nature in and around this town is truly stunning and Lewis was happy to recommend us some good hiking routes. This was my first Worldpacker and volunteer experience and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.

I spend 2 weeks at the the guest house and had a beautiful time there. Lewis is a chill and caring host, very funny as well. I felt very comfortable in the apartment and had my own room with a beautiful view on the mountains. The work in the the guest house was very reasonable and easy to do, I had lots of free time. I recommend this experience to everyone who wants to hike & connect with nature and themselves at a peaceful place. Kinlochleven and its surroundings are absolutely beautiful.

Very enjoyable stay! The shower is very difficult to maneuver, I would really suggest just taking a shower. You'll be busy from 9-12 cleaning the rooms, but also be scheduled from 2-9 as a greeter. You'll likely be occupied from 2-4 checking people in and setting tables, but could be busy until 9 if there are late check ins. If you don't get off until 9, you can't make dinner, as there's no cooking after 9. I found this rule arbitrarily and unevenly applied to different Worldpackers. I received a verbal lashing. That being said, by the end of our stay I would say we were friends with Lewis.
