Skyewalker Hostel

Beautiful hostel, neat, and clean and tidy. Their kitchen is well equipped, so you can bring your groceries and can cook there. Washrooms were super clean. They have a drawing room, dining room, kitchen & garden, etc. Everything was well maintained. There was a dome in the garden where one can sit relax and enjoy the view. Highly highly recommend for the budget and super cool place to stay while in Skye.

Great hostel. Staff is very friendly and helpful. You can tell they really enjoy their job with the way they interact with guests. Got a chance to spend time with the owner, as we talked star gazing and worked on our photography skills. The kitchen is well equipped, showers are wonderful, and the outdoor space is very peaceful. Would highly recommend this hostel!

It took us 5 minutes to fall in love with the place.We felt so welcome. The hostel is absolutely clean and very well equipped. We had great nights in the solar dome (Dancing Queens 😉). The staff and the owners are fantastic, so nice and so helpful! We enjoyed it so much! And the brownie cake was delicious! We were in Scotland for two weeks and had 6 different accomodations but the Skyewalker was by far the best. Thank you guys for a fantastic time!

Great accommodation run by a friendly and professional staff. There was an abundance of space for groceries and the kitchen, bathroom, and shower facilities remained spotless throughout our stay. They do a great job of protecting the peace and quiet for all guests after hours. Recommendations for what to visit and when were extremely useful and provided us a helpful insight into making the most of our time there. Wish we had stayed a week! The only potential drawback for some (not for us) would by the distance from Portree. With a car this wasn’t a problem for us but some might find it too far by bus. Would absolutely recommend for the no-nonsense travelers focused on hikes and outdoor activities.

Best hostel you could ever imagine, it’s so good to be true. The staff are so friendly and so helpful. The hostel is so clean, in love with every corner of the hostel. The kitchen so big so no matter how many people are cooking at the same time it will still be enough for all. You get lots of game you can play with your friends inside ( doubt you will be playing though) cuz the view outside is beautiful. Just in few min walk you can see some amazing views. The toilet is spacious and clean. Location might be a bit of problem if you don’t drive, as there is only one bus that goes to the Portree in certain time so make sure you don’t miss that.

Thank you for responding to our review in a professional and respectful manner, at least on this public platform. We appreciate your effort to explain the situation from your perspective. However, we feel compelled to address a serious issue that we experienced during our stay. While you have chosen to highlight the noise issue, you have not mentioned how we were treated in relation to another matter. During our stay, we were unjustly accused of stealing a brownie from the kitchen. To clarify, we took what was initially mentioned as a complimentary brownie, only to find out later that it was not. When we realized there was a charge, we immediately went to inform the staff that we didn’t have cash (as there was no card machine available), but we were more than willing to pay by card. At no point did we refuse to settle the payment, yet we were spoken to rudely and outright accused of theft. For reference, the definition of "stealing" involves taking something without intending to return or pay for it. We openly communicated with the staff and offered to pay via card, which does not qualify as stealing by any means. We were particularly hurt by the way we were treated, as we felt that the comments made towards us went beyond the situation at hand and touched on biases related to us being a minority group. This, combined with the overall hostility, made our experience at your hostel one of the worst we’ve encountered in our travels. While we respect your right to maintain policies and procedures, we believe your staff could have handled the situation with more understanding and less aggression. We hope that in the future, all guests are treated with the dignity and fairness they deserve, regardless of their background.

Wow. By far the best Hostel. Super clean, quiet guests, comfy beds (hard as rock pillows, bring own). Friendly staff, all amenities, clean showers. Excellent value. We will most definitely be back. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️

This hostel is A REAL GEM : From the loveliest, most helpful staff you could find ( also : they will always respond to any queries you have on the most lovely walks, how to get there, they really know the isle ! ..When you're having dinner, you might even hear the tales and stories behind the iconic walks), to the breathtaking walks on the doorstep, the warm and cosy ambiance (just look at the pictures !), pristine cleanliness, this hostel truly has it all. |It was my second time there and it's honestly my favourite hostel in the world at this point. ||I could not recommend more, would give them six stars if I could ! ||I would highly recommend exploring around the hostel : I have seen one of the most beautiful sunset of my life half an hour from the hostel walking, on the path along Fiscavaig beach. So so gorgeous. The views when you go to Carbost over the Cuilin are also incredible.
