My time at the hostel was amazing and a great first worldpackers experience. Alicia and Swinny were so welcoming as were the other volunteers. The work and other expectations were exactly as agreed upon. The Isle of the hostel is a magical place full of stunning landscapes and kind people. Kyleakin is a great place if you are looking for a calm and relaxing experience. It can be a bit difficult to get around without a car, but there are some buses, and the other volunteers and I were able to hitchhike to various places. I definitely recommend volunteering at the hostel!!

I had a wonderful time at the hostel! The hostel was run well and work tasks were as expected. Had plenty of time to explore the island outside of work hours. The social atmosphere among the volunteers was great, made many new friends from around the globe. The managers were kind enough to help organise accomodation for my onwards travel at the companies sister hostels which was greatly appreciated. If you're looking for a place to slow down and enjoy nature for a while then this is a great place to go!

The hostel is a magical places, and Kyleakin is the gateway to the Isle. Everyday was an adventure and I had a fantastic 3 weeks volunteering there. The staff and the other volunteers were all warm and felt like a staying with a nomad family.

I loved my time here! The other volunteers felt like family, and management was kind and welcoming. The hostel has a cozy vibe—we were always making hot chocolate and hanging out in the lounge. While Kyleakin is a small town and can feel a little isolated we found the bus system fairly reliable, although to save money the other volunteers and I found ourselves hitchhiking a lot. The hostel is pretty sociable, so if you hang out in the lounge or kitchen at night, you can usually find a ride to go sightseeing the next day.

The isle of the hostel is beautiful with such incredible landscapes and history! However it is quite hard to get around with infrequent buses, but can be done with hitchhiking. Managers were nice and made clear what work needed to be done and there was lots of time to do explore after work! Kyleakin is abit of a remote town but if you're a fan of reconnecting to nature and a relaxing chill time it's really nice. I made such great friends with the volunteers and had so much fun exploring the island with them, definitely recommend the hostel!

As soon as I arrived in this cosy wee hostel I felt at home. The manager Swinny and Alicia always made sure that everything was running smoothly. The work is easy and afterwards I had more than enough time to explore the island. The thing that made my time there truly incredible was the volunteer team!! I have found lifelong friends in them! The hostel really makes you connect with a lot of awesome people. I loved the Isle of the hostel so much. If you are a fan of nature and living a more remote life for some time, then this is the place for you!! I will never forget the memories I have made here.

I spent 3 weeks there during the busy summer season in the hostel. Swinney always looked after me and the tasks were well managed. It's an amazing island with beautiful scenery and trekking in between the rough weather. I recommend to stay for nature lovers. Thank you Swinney and Alicia!
