I've stayed at Skye Backpackers four times now & would definitely recommend it. It's not a luxury hotel but it's perfect for a budget break. Clean, reasonably priced, easy to find (just cross the bridge and left at the roondaboot :) I've always managed to get the same twin room at the top of the stairs, it's cosy, clean, the... More

This backpackers is just so charming and full of energy... the good variety. Wonderful, warm and welcoming staff made my time there so much fun. The place is a good jump off point from which to explore Skye. The hostel runs a bus tour around the Isle and it is really great value and just gives you a hankering to... More

I stayed at this hostel for 3 nights! The staff was super friendly and very helpful, they obviously knew a lot about the area! The kitchen and common area are great to meet fellow travellers and there's a great assortment of spices to cook with. Free wifi is a plus! My room was nice and tidy, albeit not the biggest,... More

We stayed as part of a tour group but had a private room. Very small, but didn't need much space. Room under bed to get luggage out of the way helped. Room had a small mirror and basin. The heating was good. Large kitchen/dining area that was well equipped. Separate lounge room. Friendly staff. Breakfast was very cheap and there's... More

I've just never minded splashing out a bit more on a B and B. I was very wary about this as Im a bit of a clean freak! But hey this was fab! Very very clean! Cant believe there are so many negative reviews. I will be back!!!

Really enjoyed my stay here as part of a macbackpackers tour.. The mattress on the bed was thin but very very comfortable, the hostel was nice and warm and the free wi-fi was a nice bonus. Really enjoyed the breakfast as well. Great pub near by and it was nice wandering over the sky bridge. Looking forward to heading back... More

I stayed in this hostel for two nights as it was part of a trip to the Isle of Skye. We were a group of 17 people so we had the place for ourselves. I stayed in a room with four other girls. The place isn't big but it was clean and I slept well (no noise). We had free... More

I really enjoyed my stay at this hostel! Kyleakin is a lovely village and my room at Skye Backpackers offered the most gorgeous view. The staff are very friendly and happy to help everyone out. The place was really clean and just a really good atmosphere! I've recommended this hostel many times to friends.

This is such a fantatsic little hostel! It has a very homey feel and the communal kitchen and lounge are great places to meet up with fellow travellers. The staff really know their stuff and I have visited some fantastic out-of-the-way places as a result of their reccommendations. The place is clean and the beds are very comfy. It's easy... More
