“Very Nice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 December 2011

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 people stay in the lounge? Bathrooms were great with nice hot water! The kitchen was huge: big enough for several people to be cooking at the same time. Remember to get all your food before you get there. There are no stores in a close walking distance. Kind of hard to get to by bus. It's in a very picturesque area and the drive to the hostel across the Isle is beautiful. The lounge was very comfortable, and I spent a lovely evening reading a book cuddled up in the warm couch watching it rain heavily outside. Would definitely go back.

“A little gem of a place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2011

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.

“Great Little Hostel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2011

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

Room Tip: The bunk room for 2 was great

“Highly recommended, would be my first choice to stay again.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2011

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 is accessible within an hours drive.
The owners Brian and Lisa, and Jonah are all such lovely friendly people, with a wealth of local knowledge amd information that you wouldn’t get from a guide book. Their love of music made the Friday night a great experience.
