I'm leaving the place feeling very grateful for the experience. Patrick and Nikki are amazingly kind people, and as a 19 year old traveling solo for the first time, I've always felt extremely safe and comfortable at the hostel. The place is beautiful and I would recommend it to anyone in need of peace of mind and beautiful surroundings. I can't wait to come back someday

Wonderful experience. Felt welcomed into the hostel right away. Had an amazing time with the other volunteers, bonded quickly and closely! The work schedule is easy to move hours around to explore different parts of Scotland, very flexible! Variety in shifts - you will learn lots about working in hostel; checkins, cleaning, reception, bar, laundry. Well rounded tasks. Had a very positive experience and would recommend!

My time here in the hostel was absolutely wonderful! Patrick and Nikki are so kind and are very helpful & involved with the hostel. The work is all very manageable and the hours are always respected. The hostel itself is super cozy, and Drum is stunning! There's lots of hiking to do and just being surrounded by nature was such a calming experience. The other volunteers were also amazing and made my time even better. I would definitely recommend this experience! I'm sad to be leaving and will miss it but am excited to come back for a visit.

My partner and I spent 2 months at Lochness the hostel and would recommend it to anyone. The hostel was cozy and comfortable, the team friendly and sociable and the work was enjoyable. We met lots of people coming through the hostel, were able to do lots of great hikes and visit Inverness and Isle of Skye. We were so happy to be a part of the hostel family. Thanks again Nikki and Patrick!!!

This place is a must visit. Nikki and Patrick are amazing people, very friendly and very good at managing the team and hours. You get the chance to meet lots of people and get to know the other volunteers very well. The work is straight forward and very manageable and working the bar is good fun. Lots to do and see around the area. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing time here, Nikki, Patrick, the other volunteers and the traveleres we met made this experience unforgettable for us. We learned a lot about everything and made friends all around the world. I'd recommend this experience 101% to anyone, you won't regret it. The shifts were respected and flexible, the tasks weren't difficult either.

The the hostel was a dream come true. Nikki and Patrick are wonderful. They care about each of the volunteers and make you feel comfortable and respected. The hostel itself is a great size that never feels overwhelming when working. The space is clean, cozy, and cute! They have a dog named Dougal who is the most dog a dog can be, he follows you around wanting to play fetch with the smallest stick he can find. The town is small but Nikki and Patrick offer rides to Inverness at least once a week which is very helpful! I loved this hostel and I hope you do too

Sam, I'm so sorry that Worldpackers didn't know you extended your stay so by the time you actually left, they wouldn't let me leave you a review! So I'm writing my 'review' here - you're wonderful and we would welcome you back with open arms any time you ever come to Scotland!! We wish you all the very best for your next steps. Don't be a stranger. xxx

In the beginning I was not very sure about stay here for 2 months, but in the lasts days I don't wanted to leave. The duties are a bit work out but with the time you get used to do it. Nikki and Patrick are kind and respectful. And the landscapes and hikking are amazing! I really would love to came back
