Skye Basecamp was a great place to stay for our exploration of the Isle. Clean, inexpensive, close to groceries and bus stops, well equipped common spaces, and a super friendly staff.

Tips:

We would recommend renting a car if you stay here. There is not much for public transportation and most of the taxis are based out of Portree. You may be able to catch a ride with others, but if you have a short stay, it’s hard to plan on that.

Scrupulously clean hostel with well stocked, pleasant kitchen and lots of space for several groups to sit to eat. Very friendly with organised spaces for everyone to leave food in their own tray. Hot water for drinks ready at all times. Great!

Tips:

After a long tiring day in the hills we bought fresh pasta at the Co-op just half a mile away and were eating our dinner within about ten minutes of getting back to the hostel. If budget allows we had a good meal at the Clachan and I think there's also a fish and chip shop nearby. Our pint at the Sligachan after our day's climbing was stellar.

I stayed for two nights here. The room was clean and tidy. Same as showers and toilet room. It never felt too crowded. The kitchen is well kept, I believe also because in general the people staying was nice and tidy. The staff I met, Adam and Alexa are very friendly and helpful. For example I had a headache and Alexa helped me to find some painkillers. Location is fantastic to have it as your basecamp, it is very close to little cafés and a supermarket. Easy to park and a marvellous view from the hostel.

Tips:

The Co-op and a service station are close to the hostel, which is quite practical. Location is pretty good if you arrive late to the Isle and want to arrive quickly and then keep exploring other further places as Portree.

Loved my stay at skye base camp. Lovely big kitchen well equipped with everything a traveler could need. Immaculately clean and big island bench to prep food so heaps of room even with a few in the space. And open early till late. Really kind and helpful staff. Lovely lounge space with pool table overlooking the sea. All very easy and organized. Comfortable beds and warm toasty room I could completely black out and get a good nights sleep.

Tips:

On the local bus route so I could use public transport to get to most tourist spots and walks I wanted to see. Even a small health food shop in Broadford which was a great find! And the local cafe/restaurant Sia (walking distance) has amazing food! Plus a Co-op to buy groceries to cook your own.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The comunal area is great and the rooms are also very cozy :) And waking up to a sea side view is not bad either ;)

Tips:

Drive around the island! Go up north and do the loop there (So many nice stops on the way)! Hiking up to Old Man of Storr is so worth it as well. And if you got time and the weather is good, go and watch the sunset at Elgol - you won't regret it :)

The atmosphere at Skye Basecamp was second to none. From the moment you walk in the door you’re greeted by the friendliest staff who show you around the large communal spaces. The beds are comfortable and the showers the best we’ve had in any hostel stay. The ample free parking out the front was a huge bonus, definitely felt safe.

Tips:

We had dinner just down the road at the Hebridean Inn and that was delicious. The walks at the Fairy Pools and the Old man of Storr are not to be missed.

This hostel is one of the best I've ever stayed in (and I've been to many around the world). The staff and owners have setup a space that really takes into consideration what a traveler will need. Everything from a drying room for all the wet hiking clothes, to a dream kitchen to cook in, "free food" boxes so food doesn't go to waste when a traveler leaves and can't take it with them. The showers were hot, the rooms and bathrooms were spotlessly clean, and all the staff were friendly and helpful. It also seemed to attract chill people, so it was a great mixture of socializing but also getting quality sleep and rest. Kudos to this team!

Tips:

If you want to beat crowds, head to Elgol. The drive there from Basecamp is spectacular and very few tourists.

Nice friendly place with plenty of parking. Centrally located so good base from which to explore Skye at a reasonable price. As a couple we had our own room with en-suite rather than stay in a bunk room which suited us fine. Self catering facilities were excellent, with identifiable containers that you can place your food in the fridges.

Tips:

There is a large Co-op supermarket not far away that you can get all you need for self-catering and a great fish and chip shop a bit further on.

Basecamp is a good starting point for trips on the isle of Sky. The rooms are simple and rather small but clean, good beds and attached bathrooms. The kitchen is clean, huge, well equipped and we liked the possibility to use or leave things you do not need anymore. Laundry available.very nice and helpful staff. Good public rooms with pool. We enjoyed our stay there.

First and foremost communication is easy with your team. Regardless of whether it’s email or calling in, I have had quick responses and always spoke to someone pleasant. Finding the place I appreciated the detailed instructions and even driving to the place the signs directing you to the hostel were most helpful. I stayed in the 5 bedroom private room. The cleanliness cannot be faulted, the room was comfortable- my only complaints was being on the ground floor, the upstairs neighbours walking is noisy but to be fair that’s not something the hostel owners can control and there was esr plugs offered to buy. I was pleasantly surprised by the facilities. The communal areas were clean, inviting and comfortable. I personally didn’t use any of the kitchen facilities but confident it had everything I would need. I acknowledged other members staying there could cook a meal and enjoy comfortably. I definitely appreciated the drying room for all our wet stuff from walks. Oh the views from the hostel was lovely as well. I was pleasantly surprised by the stay and have no complaints. Thank you for accommodating us

Tips:

The harbour restaurant excellent (if you’re plaiting bills though know your maths) Drive to Fairy Pools and Old Man Storr straight forwards from the accommodation.

I throughly enjoyed my stay. As soon as I saw the front entrance of the hostel I thought the vibe was fantastic, I was greeted with friendly staff and shown all the facilities. I felt right at home, free tee and coffee and fantastic kitchen facilities. Cleodi the hostel dog was my absolute favourite she is such a beautiful edition to the hostel! I would 100% come back and recommend the stay for my friends and fellow travellers :))

Tips:

Plenty to see! Go for a walk along the waterfront (plenty of maps on the hostel to show you). Go for hikes, visit the local shops and coffee shop, great food! Jump in a car (I got in with some people from my hostel) and visit the fairy pools/fairy Glen, walk the old man storr ! So much to see and do!

Loved my stay at Skye Basecamp!! I had only planned to stay for three nights, but extended it to a whole week. My room was nice and bright with both mountain and ocean view, and I even had a real and very comfortable bed, not a bunk :-) Everything was really clean and I also liked the kitchen and common rooms. Oh, and the drying room was a blessing after wet days! The BEST part however are the lovely people working there. They gave me lots of great ideas for hiking off the beaten path and were always super friendly and helpful - even borrowed me their guitar! Thanks a lot for making my time on Skye so special - mòran taing agus mar sin leibh!

Tips:

The "Coffee Bothy" next door has great cakes and soups (and a dog), and the Siaway Fish & Chips had a vegan version that was very delicious! Broadford Bay and the Irishman's Point make a woderful walk in the evening during sunset.

We really enjoyed our stay at Skye Basecamp and will recommend it to others. However, the car parking arrangement needs to be improved as we found ourselves blocked in one morning when we had an early start. We noticed we were blocked in the previous evening and pointed it out at reception but you seemed unable to get the car moved. If staying again I will probably park elsewhere- or not leave enough room behind me for anyone else to park without blocking the road.

Tips:

We enjoyed climbing in the Cuillin (Skye Guides were excellent). Ble Bheinn is also well worth climbing. Camas Darrioch beach is fantastic. We enjoyed meals at The Broadford Hotel and The Claymore.

Generally speaking very good experience. Love the shared kitchen. However, my labelled food box with a few coffee bags disappeared in the second day. But it's fine, some people left their coffee grounds for sharing so I could still enjoy it.

My family of 5 was only here for one night. We arrived late and left early. We had the private room with a private bath. The beds were comfortable and everything was very clean. We were greeted upon arrival even though we arrived late. Very friendly! We did not use the kitchen, but it looked nice and well equipped. We wish we could have stayed longer. The view was spectacular from our front facing room.

Tips:

Cafe Sia was delicious for pizza. Gasta Deli was very quaint and cozy. We had breakfast and lunch here and everything was fantastic! Highly recommend!

Tips:

Bellissima location con vista sul mare e che consente di fare passeggiate e scalate sulle montagne vicine partendo direttamente dall’ostello senza prendere alcun mezzo. Supermercato vicino aperto 24/24, alcuni ristoranti e piccoli negozi di artigianato nelle immediate vicinanze

Skye Basecamp was an absolutely delightful Hostel run by helpful and kind staff. The internet speed is fast (I did some remote work) and the hostel is conveniently located near public transport and the Co-Op which were both necessities for me as I do not have a car. The kitchen and communal spaces are well equipped and clean. I stayed for 2 nights and ended up staying for a third. If this hostel is a potential option for you I highly recommend that you check it out.

Basecamp is just perfect for a Cuillin explorer and from that point of view the location is also excellent (but I rate it good simply because I don't want to appear too narrow-minded!). Favourite fantastic facility has to be the drying room for clothes and boots etc as well as the proximity of wise and wonderful Skye Guides.

Tips:

If you want to go to the fairy pools, try going from Sligachan. Much less people take this trail, it's much more peacefull and the scenery is beautifull : you go to the pools following a little river. It's a bit muddy, but very worth it, and ideal for beginners, as it's a 1h30/2h treck without that much level.

A super-clean hostel with the outdoors person in mind. Though I just left I'm already planning my next stay. The staff was not only extraordinarily welcoming and helpful, but sincere. The hostel has a really wonderful vibe, while also being orderly and accommodating. I wouldn't really think to stay elsewhere.

Tips:

Travellers should have in mind the main modes of transport around the island--Stagecoach and Citilink. Hop on the WIfi early in the morning for the best luck in researching whatever you need to look up. Catch the first bus of the day to wherever you'd like to go--this way there's plenty of time to do what you'd like to do and catch the last bus in time (if you have long hikes in mind). If you're not driving, plan your day with the two different bus schedules the night before (stagecoach or citilink:) Also, Coffee Bothy is the bomb!

This hostel is well-run and welcoming with a staff that really cares for travelers. Clean, excellent showers, quiet by 11pm, cozy linens. The kitchen and common areas are ample--busy dinner time is like cooking with a big international family! The location can't be beat--a very short walk to the grocery store, an incredible view of the bay from the living room picture windows, bus stops abound, and gorgeous hikes and short drives close by. I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely return.

Tips:

There are lots of beautiful hikes, drives and sightseeing within a short distance from the hostel. I recommend Sleat. Armadale and Elgol (Misty Isles boat tour was stunning). Local shops have tips for lovely walks, and I found that this part of Skye was not so crowded with tourists. For travelers looking for organic food, the Selkie Collective, just north past the Coop, has bulk foods and organic fruits and veg.

i must say, my stay in Isle of Skye was great. Base Camp provided an excelent place to stay. this is a BASIC lodging, but it checked every box it needed to. location couldnt be better. food, a walk to grocerie and nearby GREAT restaurants, were right there.

Tips:

Isle of Skye was awsome !!!! The staff will help with any needs. they even went so far as to send me a hiking guide ( GREAT ) before i came so i could review listed hikes in the island.

Harbour restaurant and Hebridean Inn both good for food but can get quite busy so booking advisable. Take a guide if you are planning to go on the Cuillin Ridge - my Gillian sourced through Skye Guides was fantastic

I would definitely recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Skye.

We'll be back!

Perfect location to explore the Island. Facilities all well provided and clean. Broadford is great as a base- garage, supermarket, pubs and plenty of nice places to eat. We also bagged a Munro, Sgurr Nam Gillean, one of the technical ones, with the guidance and expertise of Mike and Jennie of Skye Guides - an amazing day out and highly recommended.

Tips:

1. Take a Skye Guides tour - the black Cuillins are very technical but the guides enabled us to tackle a peak we never would have done alone. 2. Day out in Elgol with a boat trip on the Misty Isle and a walk (2 to 3hrs) around Loch Coruisk.

Tips:

Sgurr na Banachdaich, Bla Bheinn, Bruach na Frithe are 3 of the easier Munros that are definitely worth attempting. Storr, Quiraing, Fairy pools, Neist point for sunset all worth a visit. Definitely recommend a trip to the bothy on Raasay. Visit the Coffee Bothy for their excellent cakes!

I really love this place. The self check-in was fast and the team prepared a lovely small envelope for room password. And I have to say the kitchen is one of the best. You can literally find everything you need from kitchen appliances to cookwares. Coffee, cereal, jam and other necessary sauces are all provided. The view from the game room is superb, which can see directly at the ocean. It would be a bit of pity that the time we stayed there, the food places on that street was basically all closed.

Tips:

There are actually several food places on that street but need to check the opening time in advance. You can find an Co-op within walking distance if you would like anything. Do leave some time for yourself to enjoy the beautiful seaview from the hostel. That can be so calming and relieving.

Thanks for your lovely review, Deli Gasta on our street is a fabulous wee cafe with excellent coffee, cakes and lunches but it's opening hours are 8-5pm However everything in Broadford is within 10 mins walking distance, the local restaurants are The Claymore Restaurant, The Hebridean Inn and Cafe Sia. The Co-op is the best stocked on the island and is open 7-10pm as well as hosting a 24hr garage.

As a hill walker/Munro bagger, the hostel is a bit of a drive from the Cullins but has the advantage of local restaurants, supermarket, petrol etc. Maybe the absolutely ideal location is impossible !

Thank you - a lovely stay, with very accommodating staff when our plans changed at short notice. The facilities were excellent, the drying room came in handy, and the pool table is a great new addition too. Looking forward to visiting again next year.

Tips:

The Black Cuillin - spectacular. Talisker Bay - out of the way, quiet and very pretty. The candle shop in Broadford - great for souvenirs.

Friendly helpful staff with a wealth of tips of good places to visit and things to see. Also really good community atmosphere despite the Covid restrictions. Also all visitors respected the quiet time after 11 pm which was a boon after a whole day out walking! Also a great drying room! Pint sized but very efficient. We all really enjoyed ourselves.

Tips:

Lower Breakish was lovely to swim in and we were joined by a seal who came to check us out. Also the only place I've seen a sea otter is whilst walking and chatting quietly to friends on the rocks to the south of the pier in Broadford! An unexpected gift on our last day on Skye.

Booked the entire hostel for a group weekend in Skye. In truth, it felt more like an Air BnB than a hostel - clean, tidy and with good showers. Nice big kitchen, other facilities and it's located neatly in Broadford which is not far from the Skye Bridge. Catorina and her staff were most helpful and I would recommend Skye Basecamp - in my backpacking days I stayed in hostels around the world and this is one of those places with its own character.

Tips:

Our group took the Isle of Skye Seafari experience in Portree - thoroughly recommended. Lots to see and do on Skye - be sure to book a few days at least - you can't see it all in one trip.

One of the top hostels I’ve stayed in, and I’ve stayed in a lot these last 6 months. A great base for exploring Skye especially if you catch the ferry from Mallaig or are taking public transport from the mainland - the main bus stop is under 15 mins walk away. Super clean, cosy, homely and with a amazing kitchen and great shower block. Mike the manager went above and beyond to ensure I had a blast while on Skye, from helping with wet weather gear, to advice on walks and great banter. Loved my stay!

Tips:

I’m sure you could spend a whole lifetime in Skye and not get bored of all the walks. Would recommend for a short and easy one: Scorrybreac circuit from Portree. Old Man of Storr was so good and the bus drops you right at the start. While the buses weren’t super frequent when I was there because it was the low season, it’s definitely doable and you see some amazing scenery particularly from Portree round the north peninsula to Uig. The Co-op supermarket in Broadford is really well stocked.

The showers/toilets and your kitchen and dining area are the best parts of the hostel. It feels so luxurious for the price that we are paying. Thank you for a great experience at Skye Basecamp! Drying room could be better ventilated and, even better, heated for more effective drying. Showers could do with a shelf inside for putting soap and shampoo to avoid bending down, but that's just pushing my luck ;)

Having a car is quite useful for exploring Skye, do consider renting if you don't own one in the UK! Always be prepared for foul weather, regardless of current situation or weather forecast.

The Cherfields were so comfy. There so much information about Skye, from walks to wild life very impressed. He beds were comfy and clean. I actually told people I was at Basecamp the think I was on Mt.Everest, not a lie just not all the information. I'm for sure coming back next year.

Shops are a bit far so being plenty of food and drink with you. Oh and a bottle of whisky is good for breaking the ice with fellow travelers

Nicely located in Broadford, with lots of restaurants nearby and free parking on premises.

We had a four bed bedroom for a family of four with two sons 10+12. The room was clean tidy and had a nice view to the sea. The shared toilets were clean on the three days of our stay, so were the showers and the common kitchen. We enjoyed to cook our own dinners and make our own breakfast after 10 days on pub lunches / dinners and sandwiches and full Scottish breakfast. There were boxes for our food which could be labelled and we packed our cooled food in our labelled cool bag in one of the three large freezers.

Tips:

There is a billard table in the Basecamp and you can wash and dry your clothes (ca. 30min. each) incl. detergent for a reasonable price. And you can drink a beer or coffee in the nice sitting room while the washing is done. They have also a drying room for wet clothes and hiking boots with air dehumidifier. In front of the house there are several Basecamp parking lots.

We had an extremely warm and friendly welcome at reception including the lovely gesture of free tea and coffee at anytime, sitting in the beautiful lounge and reading all the mountain books. The location is amazing and the window views are stunning. Really bright, light and very spacious building with free parking.

Tips:

There is a really lovely cafe about 1 minute walk out the front door to the right which is open on Sundays too. It is also easy to walk into the main town with pubs and restaurants. Just check times as they can stop serving food around 9 pm in town. The co-op is also really near and you can make your own meals in the huge base camp kitchen. There are also Mountain Guides available.

This is seriously the best hostel I have ever stayed at! Everything is super clean and comfy, it feels just like home. Besides the fact that at home I don't step out of the door and have the most amazing view at the sea, neither do I have such a perfectly equipped and super big kitchen. I wouldn't know what to improve at Skye Basecamp, to me it already is the best place to spend some time off.

Tips:

Stay at least for two days! There is so so much to see and once you're there you won't want to leave. Also, if somehow possible, go by car.

Very close to Coop that you can basically buy anything you needed from food to sanitary. We walked to the Irish Point and enjoyed the refreshing breeze of Skye.

The location of the hostel was excellent and the view in the morning was fantastic. Love the service of the staff (sorry i forgot your name) and he is always ready to assist when needed. One down side is the toilet shower area is a little dark in our room as the light is situated in the centre yet the layout is longer than usual. But the common bathroom were great! The beds/comforter were a pleasant surprise and all of us slept soundly through the night.

Tips:

Good to rent a car so that it will be easier to travel around. There is no need to worry about food as there are many places to eat in Broadford and even in Portree Square. If you enjoy cooking, there is a co-op store around 5-10min walk away so you can buy from there.

I had a fantastic time staying at Skye Basecamp. Mike, one of the owners who is a climbing instructor was extremely helpful and generous with his time in giving advice about where to go to experience Skye in the fullest way possible. Malcolm and Yvo were also extremely welcoming and helpful, as were other staff members. The hostel is very clean, the beds are comfy, the shower is really powerful, the kitchen is spacious and there was a really friendly atmosphere between guests. I would definitely recommend this place and will be returning to visit.

Tips:

The hostel is located very near a co-op supermarket so very easy to buy and prepare your own food. I hitch-hiked around the island and found this a great way to get around as I didn’t have a car. There is also a bus route running very nearby and easy to get from Armadale to the hostel by bus. Take advice from the staff at the hostel about where to visit! They will help you get the best out of your trip! Enjoy.

THe only niggle I had was the stiff spring on the room door (Room5) It was too stiff for Jean to open, so she could not access the room on her own. I guess this spring is for fire regulations, but this is self defeating, because if she was in the room on her own and there was a fire she would be trapped!

We were two females, staying for two evenings in a 4-bed room. The first evening we were paired with 2 other female travellers. However the second evening 2 men were placed in our room, while there were other females in the hostel. I would have preferred to be paired with other females, even if I that meant moving rooms. In my opinion, hostels should aim as far as possible to place people of same sex together in rooms, and I feel that base camp could have done this better

Tips:

Fabulous spot with good access to the rest of this wonderful island. Elgol (boat trips), Sligachan (easy access to the Cuillin) and Portree (shopping and eating) are all within easy reach. Worth chatting to the staff who are very knowledgeable about the island.

So pleased we chose to stay here! Very friendly, comfy beds, great showers, all the facilities we needed.

Tips:

Excellent pizza at CafeSia in Broadford. Blue Shed at Torrin is definitely worth the drive. If you want to run/walk directly from Broadford, take the footpath by the river (beside the Elgol road); it leads onto the Elgol road for a few hundred meters but then you can go onto the 'Marble Path' across the moor for several km of great trails.

The Hostel was so central and easy to find-with perfect views looking out over the water. Really nice mix of people staying and the staff were fab and easy to approach, as well as being very helpful about the local area. Plenty of bathrooms and shower rooms- particularly appreciated the drying room and having somewhere quiet to sit and read at night. Thouroughly recommend- a great place to stay whatever your plans on the Island!

Tips:

Loads to do! I’d recommend getting to the more touristy spots early or late in the day to avoid the worst of the crowds- more for parking than anything. If your budget isn’t too tight, the pizza along the road at (Cafe Lia?) was great but the coffee was truly amazing- staff clearly know what they are doing with the machine- makes all the difference!

It would have been perfect if the other guests had not been so loud chatting, laughing and walking in the corridor until midnight. I would not recommend to those who go to sleep early. But apart from that, it was very good for the price: clean and comfy bedroom, kitchen to cook one's own food, super friendly staff... I would definitely stay there again when I come back to Skye.

Honestly (I wasn’t paid to say this) I’ve stayed at a lot of hostels and this is by far one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed at! The beds were the comfiest beds I’ve ever slept on! Nicer than my bed at home. The mattress is just so insanely thick! I fortunately got the entire 5 bed room to myself which was a nice break from constantly being around other people. The staff was beyond nice and made me feel at home from the first moment I checked it. My only regret is that I didn’t stay longer but I would definitely stay here again! The bathrooms were insanely clean and there was lots of them (so that I as never waiting to use them). There wasn’t any lockers in the room but I didn’t mind because of the chill, trusting vibe of the hostel.

Tips:

I definitely recommend the fish and chips shop on the main drag there and the coop is a short walk from the hostel to get all you necessities! Also I recommend doing the walk by the water in the evenings! It’s a quick walk and is really pretty!

Skye Basecamp was the perfect place to stay for a trip to the Isle of Skye. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, and you won’t find a better guy than Chris. The rooms were well kept and clean, and the location served as a great jumping point to go to all of the best places on the Isle of Skye. I was able to do a load of laundry there too, which was an extra bonus. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Tips:

Great grocery store just down the road (I think it’s technically called a co-op, but I’m American so it seemed like a cross between a convenience store and grocery store). Anyway, it has great food and allows you to avoid eating out if you want.

What an amazing stay at Skye Basecamp! Carolina, Mike, and Chris we're all so hospitable and wonderful. They kept up such a nice space and beautiful kitchen for all the guests. Mike helped me find a place for some mountain climbing and even lent me gear to use! He leads trips if you would like to go with someone too. The place is nice and relaxing right on the water. It has perfect access to the whole island. I will definitely stay here again next time I go to Skye. Love love love

Tips:

The supermarket is fully stocked just 1 block away. The kitchen is amazing if you have any desire to cook anything. The isle is of course spectacular.

This was a friendly, affordable, and convenient hostel, with great facilities, located close to everything on the isle of Skye. It had clean bathrooms, a comfortable room, and quiet hours, which we were very grateful for. It also had by far the nicest kitchen facilities of any hostel we stayed at on our trip. The points off for location are because we found it very difficult to find when we drove in after dark; our GPS didn't have it listed, the sign to the side street where the hostel is located is difficult to see from the road, and we spent at least forty-five minutes driving around before we were finally able to find it using a weak signal on a phone with google maps. That being said, if you make sure you understand its exact location before getting to the Isle of Skye, you should have a great and hassle-free stay.

Tips:

The co-op grocery store down the block is open 24, and has a great variety of food for a quick breakfast or picnic lunch; we arrived at 7:30 am and the bakery items were still warm! We also stumbled across Cafe Sia, a little cafe that ended up having some of the best food on our entire trip. They have a lot of organic and local products, plenty of vegetarian options (including vegetarian haggis!), and a nice selection of local whiskeys. While we left too early to try their breakfast, they also had a full vegetarian Scottish breakfast available, which would be welcome for any vegetarian travelers like ourselves looking to have as authentic a Scottish culinary experience as possible.

“There are no bolts in Skye” I came to Skye for outdoor climbing and that was the sentence that defined not only my climbing experience but the whole stay in the island. Skye is a return to a natural experience, without artifices. It’s about find a pure experience, where our relations with nature and people are bound by a stopped clock. Skye Basecamp was a perfect refuge for this great adventure. The hostel is very comfortable, clean and organized. The staff is very friendly and helpful and Mike - the owner and local guide, is one of these characters larger than life and a piece of recent history of the island. I recommend a trip to Skye (climbing, hiking, drinking whisky, finding yourself, losing yourself, do you really need a reason?????). And, for that trip, Skye Basecamp is the place to stay, have a wonderful time and make friends for life.

Tips:

Everything in Skye seems to be worth seeing or worth doing. The most useful tip I can provide is to keep an open mind with the program as the weather is quite unstable. Better to keep your options open and adjust your plans on a daily basis. Sometimes the weather is terrible in one spot and quite sunny on another.

The owner of the hostel is very friendly and staff are very helpful when needed. Unfortunately, sometimes we do not know who are members of the staff. Good place for those who have physical disabilities to stay and the view of the sea is a wow factor. Recommendations of places to see from the staff are bang on! When older people are staying and needed more heat in the night, unfortunately, heaters are on timers. I would have rated a half point higher but it is not possible. Somehow there still the smell of old people's home lingering a bit. The rooms are on safety lock so once we left the room, we are sure our things are safe. The environment is safe and secure, anyway. We would love to come back and stay here, though!

Tips:

The hostel is a 5 min walk to a Co-op Stirs so do not bring a lot of food to prepare. If you want boating trips, prepare for good financing. To see the fairy pools, wear Wellington boots! If you do not fancy cooking there is a restaurant, about 2minutes from the hostel. If you fancy coffee in Portree, go before 5 pm as most have closed. One if the staff in the Visitors information office has really gone out of his way to help. Very commendable! If you are visiting Isle of Skye, give it at least two days to go around just sightseeing.

Wonderful stay of three nights. We were even given a free upgrade to a private room for one night as the hostel was not too busy. Clean facilities, bathrooms and showers clean, wonderfully equipped kitchen (!!!!), common room and even a pool room. We only intended to stay for two nights, however, due to a booking problem with another hostel we decided to call Skye Basecamp spontaneously around 10pm and they were very accommodating and offered us a room. Thanks a lot!!! :)

Tips:

Co-op nearby, Broadford also good location, few restaurants within walking distance, however, be aware that Skye is an island - supermarkets close at 10pm. Trying to find food after 10pm can be tricky.

Base camp had all the facilities we needed for an enjoyable stay. The drying room was especially appreciated. The highlight of the trip organised by you was Tamsin Gay. What a lovely person and thoroughly professional guide. Tamsin listened to our plans and her insights helped improve those plans. Her explanations and decisions were clear and sensible. We felt totally secure with Tamsin's technical skills, after all, we are not real climbers. She identified the least confident member of our party. Tamsin showed patience and politeness when short-roping one of the group after the Inn Pinn. Her calmness and attention to detail was impressive. Finally, Tamsin organised the sunshine for our Inn Pinn day. All three of us would be more than happy to use Tamsin and Skyeguides again. Best wishes for the future, Stuart

Hi Angie Very glad you enjoyed your stay but sorry if £25 a night was too expensive for you.

We are undeniably surprised that anyone is able to offer beds at £12-50 but hope that a stay with them is equally enjoyable. Best wishes from the Basecamp team.

For me the things that matter are a friendly and warm atmosphere, easy to access facilities, such as kitchen, drying room, showers. Skye Basecamp is developing into a fantastic place and is very high in it's standards. I thoroughly recommend it and planning to return for another holiday very soon.

Tips:

Skye Basecamp is ideally located to some very good restaurants and loads of information about places to see and visit. A few miles towards Elgol, you'll find some fabulous beaches and magnificent lochs to photograph, with reflections of the Cuillins. It really is a photographers paradise and if you're into geology, you're really in for a treat :-) Too many amazing places to mention but Talisker Bay is within easy reach and a boat trip from Elgol to Loch Coruisk is a must.

What a fantastic place to stay, the rooms are fitted out to the highest standard and if you've had a day out on the Cuillins the high spec, red hot showers are a great way to revive yourself. The staff I met (Annemarie, Chris & Natalia) were extremely helpful & great to chat with, not forgetting to mention Mike & Catriona who are also truly knowledgeable about all things on Skye.

Tips:

It's a 5 minute walk from Basecamp to the waters edge of Broadford Bay, watch out for sea otters here. This is where I saw my first one :-> Treating yourself to Lunch/Dinner, try Café Sia, Creelers or Deli Gasta they all do fantastic food.

Good base for Red and Black Cuillins. Above average hostel with comfortable beds, a lounge and good kitchen facilities so could cook, get a takeaway or eat out. Well hosted and would certainly recommend it. I expect to use it again.

Tips:

The Cuillins are the obvious 'to do', but Skye can provide other sites (Fairy Pools, crofting museums, Storr, etc.) The local co-op is well-stocked and has unusually cheap petrol for the highlands. Good chippie; Sligachan Hotel (a short scenic drive) for meals

Skye Basecamp was a really good accommodation. I consider it good value for the money. The staff was really friendly, the kitchen facilities are extraordinary fantastic and it was very clean. In general, it had a good atmosphere. The only thing that was a little bit unpleasant was the shower I had in the morning. I had to wait a number of Minutes until the shower gave me some warm water and it didn't last long enough. After another long wait, the warm water finally came back, but it was still quite an surprisingly unpleasant start into the day. But apart from that, everything was absolutely perfect, so thank you very much!

Tips:

In walking distance, next to the co-op, there was a little bookshop. I really enjoyed its atmosphere with these old (but cheap) books around. If you happen to travel around Skye, you should definitely visit the Old man of Storr.

We're really sorry about the shower problem you encountered, especially as they are designed to be so good. We have had the boiler serviced & pump replaced with no problems since. Thanks for visiting and mention this review to us next time you are back on Skye. Cheers

Nice place...but would recommend having a drying room and a laundry room And maybe increase the length on the light timer in the showers so people aren't left in the dark

Hi & thanks for your feedback. We do have a very specialised dryng room for guests as our main market are active outdoors folk; sorry if it wasn't pointed out. Laundry facilities are available just along the road beside the supermarket. Will look into the timer in shower room but it is set for 15 minutes; you weren't the person writing memoirs in there during the night who suggested it was a safety hazard were you? Thanks for using SBC
