The hostel was a wonderful experience. Working with individuals from Panama, France, New Zealand, Brazil, China, and Canada was informative and inspiring. The expectations are reasonable and the hours per day only sometimes exceed the agreed upon four. Kyleleakin is a sleepy, lovely village with an exception view from the hostel front windows. There are castle ruins to explore only a few minutes walk away. The hostel's back garden is bordered by the beautiful Obbe River which provides quiet solitude and lovely walks. I hope to return to this hostel next summer as a volunteer.

The hostel is magical on its own, but spending a month here felt like experiencing the greatest peace possible. The place is wonderful, even though the supermarket is not that close to the hostel. The work is easy, with some days busier than others, but if you have energy and willingness, everything gets done quickly and you will still have plenty of time to explore the area and nearby regions. The night shift is simple, but it is essential to do it with attention. On your days off I recommend planning longer trips to distant towns.

The best experience of my Scotland! It's a great family that will always be there for you, and you'll have unforgettable moments! I highly recommend coming to this project. The work is easy, and they also offer free tours sometimes. The island is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life and I will definitely return. Thank you all for this unforgettable experience tonight. No dudes ni in segundo en venir a la isla. Vale completamente la pena y es maravilloso el hostel. Siempre estarás seguro y te divertirás con la naturaleza

This was an incredible place with incredible people. Jess, the manager, genuinely cares about the well-being of her volunteers and creates a warm, welcoming, and supportive environment. Hitchhiking is necessary to explore and the town is beautiful and small. The stipend for food is a huge plus. The hostel gets busy, so sometimes we worked past set hours (once I did a task on my off day). You can use these hours for free stays at other hostels in the company. The only improvement would be a bigger emphasis on set hours or different task/time distribution. Thank you again! Recommend :)

I spent two weeks at the hostel and it was an absolutely amazing experience! The hostel is super cosy and the vibes are great. Jess and Ronan are also super nice and really create a home away from home for the volunteers. The work itself is not hard at all and the hours are fair, there is still loads of time to explore or rest. The area is stunning! The views all around the town are so amazing! The town is located quite far from the main sightseeing places, but it is very easy to hitchhike to all of these without a problem. I had the best two weeks ever! I highly recommend going!
