Fengmei, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Access is a bit difficult and the no noise rule after 10pm was not imposed so it took a while to go to sleep. Nevertheless installations are good and clean and the location is simply perfect to wake up and go in a hiking
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We liked that: landscape, closeness to nature, tranquillity of the place, hellpfulness of the staff, simplicity and at the same time cosiness of the accommodation; breakfast, locally produced craft beer from the island.
Uwe, 1-night trip

Such a beautiful area. One of the nicest hostels I’ve stayed in. It is run very efficiently. WARNING: the road has many pot hole and is narrow even for a single car.

This is a amazing youth hostel, the staff is so nice and available! All the hostel is very clean and safety. We very enjoyed our night here. Thank you for all.

Great location on the Isle of Skye

I had a two night stay at Glenbrittle while visiting Isle of Skye. The room was comfy enough (a little cramped for ten people), the bathrooms were nice and very clean, the common areas were well stocked and cozy. There's also a great waterfall right across the road from the hostel and plenty of sheep and lambs to watch in the evenings.
Mallory, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Unique location in the middle of nature. Room was basic, shared spaces clean and you can cook your own meal in the kitchen.
Emma, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I had a fantastic stay at Glenbrittle Youth Hostel, very remote and quiet just what I like, Stuart there went above and beyond to help me out with my camera issues along with giving me ideas where abouts to go and was extremely friendly. It's an awesome place
Ethan, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I didn t like the road to go to the youth hostel because it IS a one- track road in Bad conditions ( holes) The youth hostel was great en every aspect.
carine, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great location to hike and to visit the Fairy Pools. Comfortable rooms and clean bathrooms and showers. Very large kitchen. Only drawback was biting midges (insects) in our room which are common in Highlands areas. We left with multiple bites. Otherwise our stay was really nice.
Ann, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great hostel

First time I stayed in a hostel. I was pleasantly surprised. It was very clean, in a beautiful location near the fairy pools. Seperate men and womans bathrooms were just down the hall. Nice big kitchen for cooking. Beds were average but after a day of hiking who cares. Walls are pretty thin so bring your ear plugs. Friendly check-in.
Tricia, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Beautiful mountain location. Clean and well equipped. Room for 5 people quite spacious. Good beds. Can be noisy at night as rooms have no phonic insulation and everything can be heard from other rooms. Parking can be difficult as hikers park next to the hostel. The access road is narrow, damaged and very busy during day time. It is a great place to hike the neighboring mountains but not as a base for exploring Skye, due to the fastidious access.
Jaroslaw, 3-night trip

2/10 Terrible

I had to cancel my booking at the last day because my ferry got cancelled. I was expecting that they will provide a partial refund but they were not flexible on that which was quite disappointing.
