Such a warm, welcoming place. Staff was wonderful. Since we came at a time when they were not too busy, they upgraded our room for free! Very clean, although the fact that you cannot have access to the hostel for a certain amount of time each day is a little weird. I know they need to clean, but why can't... More

Very clean, excellent facilities and friendly hosts. Couldn't have asked for anything more. We spent a year backpacking and have stayed in hostels all over the world and can honestly say that Skyewalker is the best equipped for travellers and is maintained beautifully (check out the space in the kitchen!). Thanks for a great stay Brian and Lisa. More

This is a great little hostel. The owners were very friendly and had great local knowledge. The 2 bed bunk room we had was nice and the shower and bathroom facilities were the best I've seen in a hostel. Highly recommended More

What a fabulous find! Its the first hostel I have stayed in but would definitely recommend it. We paid a little extra for the luxury of a private room en suite. The rooms and communal areas were spotlessly clean with great facilities in the kitchen and lovely gardens. The location is great for local walks and everywhere on the island... More

We found this hostel by pure chance, after having spent the previous 2hours desperately looking for accommodation on the Isle of Skye ( extremely popular, as we found out!). We turned up with no reservation and were greeted by the super friendly owners, Brian and Lisa, who had just 3 beds left for us! The decoration has character, the rooms... More

This is a great hostel with a brand new kitchen and great lawns/sunroom at the rear. Very friendly staff and clean rooms and some of the best shower/toilet areas you will EVER find in a hostel. Some top hotels could aspire to having such toilets. However there's not much to do, so if you want a bit of life in... More

Skyewalker is a fantastic hostel with everything you'd need for walking / scrambling in the Cuillins & conveniently located between walk starts at either Glenbrittle or the Sligachan ends. It was clean, well equipped & had fantastic showers which were really needed at the end of a hard days walk. The room we had for 2 people was spacious enous... More

This is the right place to go when you are on a walking holiday. For us not-so-young people it offers the atmosphere of a hostel (shared kitchen and lounge) with the comfort and privacy of an en-suite room. The owner, Brian, is most hospitable and happily shares his knowledge of the island with his guests. The kitchen is well equipped,... More
