Truly a home away from home! Christine and her family are the sweetest, most caring hosts who make every volunteer feel like part of the family. She goes above and beyond to ensure we're happy with our tasks and always checks in with kindness. The cozy staff cottage makes it so easy to feel at home right away. Stornoway has everything you need from shops to restaurants to pubs, and exploring the Hebrides on days off was magical. I have never seen such blue water! Morning sea dips with Christine and other volunteers are memories I'll treasure forever. I couldn't recommend this place more!

Volunteering at the hostel has been such a wonderful experience. The tasks are very straightforward and Christine respects the volunteer agreement. Stornoway is a great place to spend an extended amount of time with great walking trails and lots of fun day trip options via public transportation. The Scottish culture is very strong in the Hebrides and is such a great experience meeting local and international travelers. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys the outdoors and is team-oriented!

This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I couldn't have wished for a better one! I enjoyed both cleaning and welcoming guests. The tasks were easy, well explained, and there was also plenty of time to explore the island. Christine really cares about the volunteers; she's always there if needed, and her family is amazing. I truly felt at home! Living in the cottage with the other volunteers was great: I met incredible people from all around the world, had a fantastic time, and made lifelong memories. Definitely recommend!

I had my First Experience with Worldpackers at hebhostel and the time was amazing. Christine and her Family are so Kind and generouse and i immediately felt Welcome. The tasks are easy and the workinghours as agreed previously. I liked welcoming guests to the Hostel and even enjoyed cleaning as the Hostel Never gets very Dirty. I had plenty of time to Discover the island and loved hiking beautiful cliffs, as well as meeting other volunteers from all around the world. I definitely enjoyed my stay at hebhostel and would love to come back.

Wonderful experience in a really lovely clean friendly hostel. Christine was kind supportive & clear in her instructions and went out of her way to ensure that we as Worldpackers were OK at all times. We felt proud of the hostel and motivated in our work because of this. Met great folk from all over the world and all ages - very inclusive.

This is an amazing place to go. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Whether it's your first time doing Worldpackers or you've done a few I would definitely recommend going here. There are some great beaches and hikes to do while you're there. I'll definitely be back in the future. Thank you Christine for everything!

I had a wonderful month at Hub Hostel. Christine is an incredible host, always available and friendly. The work is easy and fair and always in a good mood. It's a fascinating place to enjoy Scottish nature, with many breathtaking beaches and culture. It's the ideal place if you want to experience peaceful moments, almost out of time.

My first Worldpackers experience and what an absolute magnificent one! Christine and her family are some of the nicest and most genuine people I've ever met. The work was easy, without any pressure and I also learned a lot. The accomodation was so nice and cozy and I also loved the bed in the treehouse. You'll meet loads of lovely people. Everybody, including locals and Hostel guests, is very open and welcoming to an extent that is not too common in most other parts of the world, but definitely should be. Even after just a few weeks I felt like leaving a newly won family.
