The people is really what makes this place magical. The manager and assistant manager are super helpful and welcoming. The place is a bit isolated, but with some nice hiking trails. All in all a great experience!

This was genuinely my favouritethethe the hostelI've ever stayed at. Despite not being close to much else the amount of daily events and group of staff I had the pleasure of being with made my team here magnificent and not once did I find myself bored. The facilities are really nice with heaps of rooms and space. The work is very easy and relaxing and never did I feel like I was being overwhelmed. Couldn't recommend this place anymore.

I had the most incredible month atthethethe hostel. It is such an amazingthethe the hostelwhich attracts the coolest people, both guests and other volunteers. Despite being in an isolated area, I was never bored, with always something to do, either hanging out with other volunteers, or being in the surrounding nature of the highlands. One thing I would say that didn't always run smoothly was management, which I felt was sometimes neglected and left for the volunteers to pick up at times. I know this is a work in progress, but it did feel unprofessional and frustrating. Despite this I still 100% recommend.

This was genuinely one of the best hostels I've ever been at. The vibe and atmosphere of the place was super chill yet exciting and inviting. The events that were run every night were super fun and engaging ranging from pool and ping pong tournaments to trivia and even traditional Scottish dancing nights. As a volunteer the work was very easy and the hours were always respected. Based right on the hostelas well the location was perfect, would just recommend to buy some food beforehand! Overall the volunteers and staff here made the place a home away from, I would 100% recommend staying here!!

The hostelhas been one of the most unforgettable and rewarding experiences of my life. What started as a 2-week volunteer role turned into 2+ months of amazing memories. The views are unreal, but it's the people that make it special. Belle is an incredible manager, supportive, kind, full of energy amazing person learn from due to her years ofthethe the hostelexperience. She creates such a fun, welcoming vibe for everyone. The work is fair and well-organised, the events are a blast, and the community feels like family. I'll always be grateful for my time here!
