Skye Backpackers

Klasse Lage in Kyleakin

Mooie plek, alleen er waren maar twee wc’s en twee douches waarvan eentje buiten. Wij hadden een 10 mix dormitory geboekt maar zaten in een sta caravan en op de dunste matrassen die er kunnen zijn en geen lampje of iets bij je bed.

10/10 staff & facilities

Really nice.

The hostel is alright. But the showers were not so nice. Also I slept in a caravan and you had to get out into a wooden shed to get to a toilet. That wasn’t too nice in April. The bunk beds were a bit sketchy as there was no barrier for the top bunks and also no real ladder and the ceiling was quite low. Also the kitchen and common area was far to small for the amount of people that stay there. I recon in summer it’s nice when you can get outside. But for bad wether it’s not ideal.

I’ve stayed at many hostels over the years but this was definitely a low. I stayed in a 4 person all female dorm and the bed cover was stained with period blood and had cigarette burns. The manager from New Zealand was very kind but the man at the desk was not there for checkout (10am) and when I was trying to tell him my concerns I was waved off for their staff meeting. The bathroom situation should also be better expressed online as there is essentially one toilet per floor so long wait tim...

Spent 4 nights here and enjoyed the whole experience. There was a good atmosphere and the staff were lovely. The place is kept spotlessly clean and the use of kitchen facilities and free tea and coffee was ideal. Would definitely stay there again. Thanks to all for a memorable visit

Didn't thought you would have to get outside in a tiny wooden Hut to take a shower, and Come back, without Light to your small and Rudimentary cabin...

it does the job

Amazing service, great location, and friendly staff. Very clean, no noise, and very social atmosphere.

Super cute hostel in Skye Island. Clean and organized rooms and common spaces. A lot of advices of what to do in the island! The dry cleaning service a life savior!

My friend and I were at this hostel during storm amy. The staff were very accommodating and attentive of all of our needs. We had lost power and they gave us additional blankets, and one of the staff members was using a camper stove to assist in helping us make meals/hot drinks. The atmosphere was also amazing! We played card games and hung out a ton! Leaving Skye was the equivalent of a breakup. My friend and I are already planning our next trip back to this hostel.

Skye en general es muy caro, y este hostel no es una excepción. La casa es vieja y las instalaciones antiguas. Un baño/ducha para cada 8-10 personas, justo en temporada alta. La cocina y salón muy equipados, espaciosos y cómodos. Lo mejor de la casa junto con el personal.

alright, some sittings missing in the kitchen and spiders in the bathrooms

Great hostel the staff where very friendly and helpful.

Pros: front desk guy Ronan was extremely friendly and welcoming! Lively atmosphere. Cute kitchen & common room facility. Kitchen walls are full of travel tips, hiking spots, points of interest and bus routes. Cute town! Cons: we stayed in the caravan so staying in the main hostel rooms could be a different experience, but the caravan was very claustrophobic. Top bunk only has 3 feet of space between bed and ceiling. No place for luggage. If you’re over 6 feet you won’t fit in the bed.

It was lovely! Just keep in mind that there are no bathrooms out where the caravans are

Great interactions with the paid staff. Lovely conversations and helpful tips. Very poor experience in the kitchen. Volunteers took what they wanted from my labeled bag of food in the guest storage pantry and threw the rest in the dumpster, including bottles of oil and salt/spices. I labeled all my food on arrival with name and date of departure. Wrote all the labels at the same time. I’m assuming they saw an earlier label from a previous hostel stay. Another guy had his food vanish as well.

Pretty amazing place, a great town to stay in eith super friendly staff and everything you need for a comfortable stay!

I was stayed at the Starship caravan, and found it very cozy and friendly. Also the location is amazing! Great choice for backpackers.
