My stay at the hostel was a really great experience! Naseem is a very kind host and the work is quick and easy. The nature surrounding the hostel is also stunning, though I would definitely recommend bringing some waterproof shoes. :) In general, I would definitely recommend this place for a calming and fun stay, spending time in nature and making some new friends (and seeing lots of sheep)!

I spent a month at the hostel and it was a great experience. Every morning I woke up with a postcard view, with mountains and endless skies. The staff was welcoming, kind, and always ready to help. Tasks were well-organized, giving time to relax or explore. I met amazing people and shared fun moments. I recommend this experience to anyone who wants to take a break from the busy world. It's a place that welcomes you, teaches you to slow down, and helps you enjoy the little things. I left with a full heart, and a part of me is still there, in those quiet mountains.

The hostel is a wonderful place ! I stayed there for a month in April. As the tents were not out, we only had to do some housekeeping in the main hostel (around 30 beds). Officially, we work from 10am to 3pm with a lunch break - but we worked less a lot of times. Naseem is a really good manager who also understands our point of view as volunteers. I got free accommodation in a private dorm with other volunteers, with a private cosy area and bathroom. The fresh bread and flabjack for breakfast are delicious. Keep in mind that it is very remote, close to a busy road ! Bring waterproof shoes :)

I had a great stay at the hostel, Naseem is lovely and really wants the volunteer to have a good experience. Unfortunately in the beginning I was the only volunteer and that was not a great time because the place is actually really isolated so I was not having fun. But Naseem did her best to find other volunteers as quick as possible and when other volunteers arrived, my mood changed completely. This place really brings a family feeling and is definitely a safe place. I really recommend, but maybe march is the least nice month to stay there because it's so quiet. Thank you for everything!

I stayed at the hostel for one month and it was an amazing expirience. You feel very welcomed since the first day you arrive and you quickly adapt to the enviorment. The tasks demanded are not that difficult, so on your free time, you can disconnect and enjoy its beautiful sorroundings. I highly recommend the hostel if you enjoy nature.
