The hostel where do I even start!!! This has been the most fulfilling and entertaining trip of my life. The family that runs it is comprised of the most generous, kind, inviting hosts ever and their super sweet and intelligent children! If you chose to volunteer here you will never have a boring day. The hostel is perfect for anyone who loves hikes, beaches, music, playing cards or getting beat at board games by a kid!! I stayed 5 weeks and if I had the choice I would've stayed way longer. Apply here you won't regret it!! Thank you Patricia, Bricin, Billie, Cash, Peter and Cookie!!

They are the most wonderful hosts you could ever hope to find. They thoughtfully prepare every detail so you can have a perfect experience in Cape Breton: a cozy cabin for Worldpackers, delicious meals and daily adventures through beaches and trails. But above all, is the friendship, the warmth and the love you feel from the moment you arrive. And leaving this place is the hardest part. I love you all: Patricia, Bricin, Cash, Billie, Peter, Viki and Daniel. Thank you for everything. P.S.: Never miss the bonfire. It's a magical moment of sharing, celebration and having fun.

A TRUE CANADIAN HOSTEL!! SURROUNDED BY BEAUTIFUL CAPE BRETON the hostel, LOTS OF TRAILS, BEACHES AND MOUNTAINS. I HAD A WONDERFUL, VERY FUN TIME AT THE VERY COZY HOSTEL WITH A VERY WELCOMING, KIND, AWESOME FAMILY, NICE GUESTS, AND FUN LOCALS. SIX WEEKS FLEW SUPER FAST! I ENJOYED HIKING, SNOWSHOEING, AND SHOOTING DARTS. IT MUST HAVE BEEN QUITE DIFFERENT IN THE SUMMERTIME, BUT I DID SWIM IN ICE-COLD WATER AND I BELIEVE I ENJOYED THE WINTER CAPE BRETON TO THE FULLEST! THE AMOUNT OF WORK CHANGES DAY BY DAY, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE SOME TIME TO EXPLORE AND MAYBE SPOT SOME MOOSE! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!

Wow what a whirlwind of an experience! I came to the hostel with intentions of staying for the one month of July. I loved my time there so much that I ended up staying for seven months! Summer to Winter. I got to witness the warmth and love that each family member provides in their own special way. As well as from the amazing locals, guests and crew. If you are looking for a unique hostel environment situated in an even more unique natural wonder, then this is the place for you. You never know what you might find in the magical the hostel… I'm lucky enough to say that I found love.

I volunteered in the summer and then came back for the autumn season because this place and the people are magic. Activities this time round (apart from chores and maintenance) included: collecting wood, bonfires, baking, cold dips, playing music, games, stargazing and creating art. Spending time at the hostel and being part of the big hostel family has healed my soul. All my love to Bricin, Patricia, Billie, Cash, Peter, Cookie, Taylor, Dave, Lili and Hazy.

I had a wonderful and fulfilling time here, with no worries about being bored—just about whether I had enough energy! Although getting to Highland Hostel wasn't easy and involved several transfers, I'm really happy that this is the starting point of my travels in Canada. Everyone is very friendly and always helps each other out, and the food is incredibly delicious! I also learned a lot about Canadian culture, and I absolutely love it! Thanks to Highland Hostel Family, for such a great experience and stay!

WOW! We arrived here as Worldpackers but left as part of the family. We had the most spontaneous and amazing adventure and have left with memories that we'll cherish forever. The family are incredible hosts, work was easygoing and we always had an adventure. We swam everyday, had campfires every night, boat rides, live music, hikes and even a helicopter ride! We were immersed in the local culture from day one, and lived by the motto 'go with the flow'. The staff cabin is perfect and a great way to bond with other Worldpackers. Thank you for everything the hostel family <3

WOW! We arrived as Worldpackers but left as part of the family. We had the most wild, spontaneous, and amazing adventures. We helped out around the hostel with cleaning, laundry, housekeeping and lunches. It was very easygoing, afterwards there was always an adventure! Swam everyday, campfires every night, boat rides, hikes, live music, fishing, stargazing and even a helicopter ride! The staff cabin is cosy, a great way to bond with other Worldpackers. We met many locals, but it was the family that made this a once in a lifetime experience. We'll cherish this forever <3
