Skye Basecamp

13th May 2025:

I can highly recommend Basecamp Broadford on Skye. Reception staff welcoming, showed me around and nothing was too much trouble to settle into ‘ home for the night’. I had a comfy bed, lovely sea view and roomy shower with plenty of hot water and good ensuite design. The communal areas were well stocked with kitchen and dining resources and very inviting to linger and chat to others. Free parking outside✅. My room was so relaxing I asked if it was free for another night. Alas it was booked

Would Recommend: Yes

Such an amazing Hostel! We really enjoyed how everything was so clean and the amenities! Well spaced, big kitchen! Everything very lovely and homely leaving room !

There is a grocery store near by! The view to the sea is the best! You can also have dinner at the Pizzeria just 5 min walk from there:)

De très bons restaurants à proximité ainsi qu'un petit supermarché.

Everything was amazing! We went first for one night and came an other because no other place were as good as this one! People are kind and helpful, everything was perfect! Thank you so much!

I travelled with my father (65 y.o) and he was not really OK at the beginning to sleep in this type of place cause I thought it was for young only. But We came back with pleasure cause all the atmosphere was amazing. Kindness, friendly, really perfect

You were really friendly! I could check in early and got some nice tips from you guys. The food logistics in the kitchen are a good solution and I liked your playlist :)

I liked the Quiraing and Coral Beach a lot. The Fairy Glen is not worth it sadly.

We really enjoyed the Sprig in the House of Juniper, which is a 4 min walk from the hostel!

13th April 2025:

A really great base to start any walking or climbing vacation in Skye. Exceptionally friendly and very well informed host made us feel very welcome

Local supermarket is just a short walk away, as are most of the other shops in the village, making it easy to prepare your own meals. The little bench at the front is perfect for watching the sunrise 🌅

Would Recommend: Yes

11th April 2025:

Basecamp is a lovely hostel. A warm welcome and good communal facilities on the ground floor. The kitchen is well equipped and laid out, with everything you need for self-catering. There is good space for dining and the lounge is good for socialising. There was a nice diverse group of people whilst I was staying, making it a very friendly vibe. The rooms are good, very comfortable mattresses. Great showers and all very clean. Staff (Cat, Alex, Mike, etc) are often around to help or give advice.

It's a nice place to meet for solo travellers (which I was) and with public transport being limited, it might help you meet other people who can help out with lifts, etc. Don't be shy to ask, it's part of the culture here. Quite a few eating out options in Broadford but there is a big enough supermarket to meet your needs. I would highly recommend Skye Basecamp.

We spent 3 fabulous nights here and only wish we could have stayed longer! The staff are so welcoming and extremely knowledgeable too. The room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean and we had the luxury of an en-suite bathroom. Kitchen and dining facilities were superb and all guests were very respectful in keeping this area clean. This area is also very organised with containers for food and labels provided. Spectacular views and a perfect location for heading north and south. Stay here…you will not regret it ☺️

We prepared a couple of dinners which worked out really well with the excellent facilities at the hostel. We visited the Claymore Restaurant which is a short walk away. Possibly the best fish and chips ever! You could also opt for the higher priced seafood as there was a great selection. There is a Co-Op a short drive away for stocking up on food for lunches up the mountains. Basically Broadford had everything we needed!

3rd February 2025:

Skye Basecamp is probably the best hostel I've stayed in. The the whole place feels really homely. Which after a hards days walk/exploring is very much needed. The facilities are very good. Everything is kept clean and tidy. Obviously the visitor has a duty to keep these standards up, but everything you need to do so is provided. Plus the views are amazing.

Local amenities such as the Coop and Asda petrol station offer good quality food, beverages and fuel. The local shops and bars/resurants are good too. Skye is best viewed by car just due to the vastness of the island. Be prepared to walk to get to places and wear appropriate clothing. No heels or trainers. This is nature not a shopping mall.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd February 2025:

Pretty good staff! Thank you Cat and Cleodi. Never had such a helpful host before. Only thing I was confused about was how to lock my room’s door but I guess I just didn’t read the instructions well enough. Keep on doing what you do. It’s really amazing!!

Visit during the offseason. I felt really relaxed knowing that only a few other tourists are on the roads and tracks

Wir haben uns im Basecamp sehr wohl gefühlt!Das Zimmer war gemütlich mit schöner Zeichnung auf der Wand und sauber. Wir hatten einen tollen Ausblick aufs Meer und die Hügel mit einem fantastischen Sonnenaufgang. Die Gemeinschaftsräume sind groß und gemütlich und Adam an der Rezeption war durchaus freundlich. Zur Gegend kann ich nicht so viel sagen, da wir nur dort übernachtet haben. Eine einzige Sache wäre zu verbessern: Stimmungs- oder Leselampen wären toll.

I stayed for a full week at Skye Basecamp hostel and would come back any time. The hostel is incredibly clean, has an amazing atmosphere, and is located very convenient close to shops. During my stay at Skye I used it as a basecamp to explore the whole island. Staff is also very friendly and helpful. When I wanted to do a Munro and needed advice they were very happy to help. I enjoyed my stay and will miss the place. I will definitely be back.

Munro wise I can really recommend Blaven (Blà Bheinn). For the rest all the known highlights you can find on Google maps, of which I mostly enjoyed the seal tour at Dunvegan Castle, Fairy Glen and the walk to Old Man of Storr.

Would Recommend: Yes

8th October 2024:

Extremely well run and clean. The kitchen has got everything you can imagine to be in a well set up homey kitchen with complimentary coffee and tea, both decaf, huge boiler with hot water, spices of all sort, etc. We stayed in 5 bed mixed room with comfy beds and clean white linen. Showers were extremely clean with heavenly hot water, a luxury after an all day wet hike. Wish we could stay longer, but we had to follow our schedule and move along.

Sitio genial para estar en Skye unos días visitando la isla..todo super limpio, las habitaciones muy cómodas, la localización perfecta para poder ver cualquiera de los lugares más característicos de la isla. Era la primera vez que nos alojábamos en un hostel y fue una agradable sorpresa y una muy buena experiencia. El staff muy friendly y el ambiente muy tranquilo.

Hay un supermercado cerca que cierra tarde lo que te facilita mucho las cosas. El hostel está muy bien situado porque como mucho está alejado a poco más de 1 hora de cualquier punto de la isla por lo que si te organizas bien el viaje puedes ver muchos sitios. La carretera no está mal, salvo el trecho que va al Quaring y al Fairy Glenn que es muy estrecha y con bastantes baches. Ahí hay que ir con mucho cuidado y puede que te lleve más tiempo de lo habitual llegar.

Skye Basecamp is an excellent base for exploring the Skye munros. I was booked in with Skye Guides and this was the perfect base to return to each day after walking. The kitchen is very well equipped, rooms are clean and the atmosphere of being around other walkers is great - I got chatting to a lot of the other guests. The lounge is great to hang around and relax and read a book. There is a drying room for drying off any wet kit from your walk too. Staff are all very friendly.

There are plenty of restaurants, a chippy and a Co-op just 5 min walk away for shopping. Definitely recommend booking a guide from Skye Guides if you're going up into the Cuillin to do munros.

Really enjoyed my two night stay at Skye Basecamp. It's hard to describe, but I loved that it had a real mountain hut and bothy feel to the atmosphere and decor with communal spaces for people to get together after a days walk or climb and exchange stories and maps and guides to get folk outdoors. Clean room, comfy bed, good hot showers and access to kitchen facilities. If you're outdoorsy, you'll love it. It's a great basecamp from which to explore Skye.

There's plenty of facilities nearby, a supermarket open fairly late and a good chippy up the road.

Located at the entrence to Isle of Skye, right next to shop and petrol station. Very good and convenient location. Room and facilities were very clean and of good standard. Very friendly and knowledgeable host. Generally, highly recommend Skye basecamp as a fantastic accommodation when visiting Isle of Skye.

Don’t need to stock up greatly before visiting Skye as the accommodation is based very close to coop shop.

Oh my GOODNESS I cannot express enough how fabulous this hostel is. The rooms/beds were so comfy and clean, the facilities were amazing, everyone is so nice and welcoming and supportive and helpful, I felt so at home and cozy. The location is absolutely breathtaking - currently having coffee in the breakfast nook looking out at the beautiful mountains and lake behind the building. It’s so close to Calanais Stones and Blackhouse Village. It’s just perfect. I 100% want to come back and stay here

A clean spacious bunkhouse with ensuite in our room for a 3. Large communal kitchen well equipped and clean with good cooking facilities, crockery and ample fridge space. Large communal lounge with free pool table, books and a great view over the bay and hills. Great location a few hundred metres from shops, restaurants and pubs.

Claymore seafood restaurant was fab but really liked and had a 2nd visit to cafesia pizza restaurant, also great for accommodation of gf options. Our main purpose other than looking out the lounge window for hours, eating and drinking our way round Broadford was to experience the cuillin ridge and we were wise enough and fortunate to have booked the service of a guide through skye basecamp Although we are experienced walkers, we wanted to tackle some of the technical aspects of the ridge and on doing so with a guide we were rewarded with 3 great safe days out. I met a few of the other guides at basecamp during my visit and was impressed by their professionalism both on and off the hill. I would not hesitate to use this accommodation or skye guides in future, perfect.
