Only met 2 staff, but they were both extremely professional and friendly. Hostel was extremely clean, and very well maintained. Easily the best hostel I have stayed in.

Great place to stay. The building is located a few minutes walking to the town; staff was super friendly; room was very clean; kitchen and the common area were big and clean. A couple of things to improve: the pressure of the shower and the noise of the doors (a bit of oil it's enough).

Lovely hostel close to the village core of Braemar. I appreciated the drying room since Iarrived by bicycle shortly after a heavy rainfall.

Lovely place, lovely staff, lovely village what more do people want. We were a group of 3 on motorbikes doing the NC500, a member of staff took time out of his day to advise us on some good roads to ride, (local knowledge), we did them and they were fantastic, all round a brilliant service from the hostel definitely recommend to friends and family.

Great place - friendly staff - value for money. Braemar b & Bs, hotels etc. either booked out or too expensive at £100+

I have stayed in many hostels but the facilities provided at this hostel were shocking. We stayed in a female three bedded room with no space to hang anything apart from walking jackets and the only washing/showering facilities nearby were MALE showers/toilets and washing facilities. Having spoken to some foreign visitors, they were equally shocked at the facilities.
