Skyewalker Hostel

7th July 2025:

Nous avons passé 2 nuits chez vous. L'accueil est très agréable. La décoration de l'hôtel est très originale et sympa. La chambre familiale (4 lits simples) est spacieuse, claire et fonctionnelle. Les sanitaires sont propres et également décorés d'affiches ou d'articles humoristiques ou réels. Le salon invite à la détente si on a le temps et la cuisine est très bien équipée.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Christophe, thanks for leaving us this lovely review. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our place. See you next time! :)

1st July 2025:

My son and I stayed at the Skyewalker Hostel for 6 nights for our recent visit to Skye. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The kitchen area was really well equipped with plenty of storage and fridge space for our food. The toilet/shower area was spotless and worked perfectly. The lounge/dining area was comfortable and welcoming, the grounds were stunning and the bedroom was great. Last but not least, Brian, Georgia and the team were welcoming and super-helpful and we couldn't recommend the place highly enough.

Make the most of the facilities and don't expect every hostel to be as good as this one!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for taking the time to leave us this review. We're happy that you had a good experience at our place. See you next time! :)

FANTASTIC place to stay! Super comfortable bed, absolutely spotless facilities, wonderfully outfitted kitchen, and cozy common areas to relax — all of this made for a great stay! The staff were warm, friendly, and offered a wealth of information about the area, including tips on what to see and history of the region. We stayed in one of the “Garden Huts” and it was FABULOUS! Artfully decorated and comfy/cozy furnishings. The “icing on the cake” was the humorous signage and fact lists posted in the bathrooms — we thoroughly enjoyed sharing what we’d read with each other. 💖

Don’t miss this experience! Even with rainy days, we had a blast!

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Tim! We are delighted to read that you enjoyed your stay at Skyewalker. We really enjoyed getting to know you guys and sharing our wee island with you. Hopefully we'll see you on a future trip! :)

Very clean and well run - highly recommended!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your review! Hopefully see you next time!

7th June 2025:

We had a lovely stay at the Skyewalker Hostel in one of the huts. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable and welcoming stay. The kitchens were well equipped with all the cooking equipment we needed and the whole facility was very clean. We would definitely return to Skyewalker Hostel!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for leaving us this lovely review. We'd love to see you back another time! :)

6th June 2025:

Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff. Quirky decor and a relaxed vibe at the hostel. Very clean bathrooms and kitchens. Clean bed linen. Great drying room

Getting there - it's a bit out of the way so you will need a car. Roads can have potholes and need to give way to other cars a lot. Close to Talisker Distillery.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hey Alistair, thanks for this review! We hope to see you again later in the season!

2nd June 2025:

Établissement sympathique, tout est à disposition (cuisine, salle à manger, détente, lecture, sanitaire etc...). Literie correcte. Des robinets mitigeurs seraient un plus pour les lavabos et vous ferez économiser de l'eau. On a passé un très bon séjour quand même. Le personnel est très bien sympathique. A la prochaine...

Évitez les nids de poules sur les routes si vous voulez aller loin.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi there! We're happy to read that your group enjoyed your stay with us. See you next time! :)

21st May 2025:

Clean, comfortable. Most importantly - the kindest most caring and responsive staff we’ve ever met! Always happy to answer questions about our plans and they’re all fun to talk to as well. Thank you so much Brian, Lisa, Georgia, Cherie and Tim! You’ve really raised the bar on my expectations when staying anywhere. We felt valued and cared for.

Stay! We love hostels. They’re more sociable and we want to cook. Skye walker’s kitchen is very large and well equipped. The dining area is large and a hangout space was well used. Everything clean and kept up. The only down side is you have to drive a bit to get to the main attractions.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Helen, thank you for leaving us this lovely review. It was a pleasure having you both stay with us and sharing stories. You're welcome back anytime :)

We loved our stay at Skyewalker! The staff was very helpful and accommodating. The hut we stayed in was very charming, the views were incredible, and everything was very clean and organized.

Would Recommend: Yes

Great place to stay, friendly staff and very clean room, toilets (shared but cared). Dome is very pretty (you can't look at the starts from inside but you can play around with sounds, gather there and have fun).

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your review! :)

25th April 2025:

We spent 5 days exploring the Isle of Skye. Having the hostel as our base really made for a fantastic trip and great experience. The hostel is clean, very well equipped and comfortable. We opted to for a garden hut which was really cosy. From the spacious garden and solar dome to the large kitchen and lounge areas the space provided everything we needed for a wonderful stay. The lovely staff are so welcoming and full of helpful tips and advice. Brian had us in fits of laughter with his colorful anecdotes! We enjoyed meeting fellow travellers from all over the world. We highly recommend Skyewalker!

We timed our visits to the more popular major sites for either earlier in the day or to later on to avoid crowds. This worked really well.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review Shelley. It was a pleasure meeting you both. Hopefully we'll see you next time :)

Magnifique accueil de la part de nos hôtes. Nous avons reçu pleins de conseils très utiles pour les excursions et les balades. A proximité le pub the old Inn offre une nourriture excellente à prix correct. Nous reviendrons volontiers au Skywalker. Merci

Endroit parfait pour visiter la partie ouest de l'île. Il faut faire un peu plus de route pour la partie nord. Mais c'est tout-à-fait accessible. Nous recommandons vivement.

Would Recommend: Yes

Hi Martine, thanks for leaving us this review. We're super happy to hear you enjoyed staying at our place. See you again on a future trip! :)

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us this great review! Enjoy the rest of your time in Scotland and hopefully see you next time! :)

18th September 2024:

Right upon our arrival, we were greeted by extremely friendly staff, intent on making you feel welcome, they don't let you feel that you're the 100000th tourist visiting their island ;) and instead join in and share your excitement for the island. So we were pretty moved by the warm welcome, especially given Skye's popularity and how it's overrun by tourists Just as expected from the pictures, the hostel is such a lovely and wonderfully quirky place, decorated with so much thought and well, a love for decorating :D filling the space with odd, humorous gimmicks & memorabilia. Common rooms, kitchen and dome in the garden are all very cosy, the kitchen is well structured and everyone follows the rules so that everyone can enjoy it, generously sized fridges too! Modern (new-ish?) showers, not too comfortable but efficient. Spacious well equipped toilets. Everything was clean too. Everything looked like it was renovated, or at least given a new coat of paint not too long ago, so everything feels fresh. Our room was pretty small, but we knew what we had booked & given the price tag you can't expect very spacious rooms, the narrow shelf along the wall is great, to have a surface to put down a few things, also appreciated the mirror.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks so much for your review! We're glad to read that you enjoyed our quirky decor and had a good stay at our place. It is always nice when guests can see the effort that goes into maintaining the hostel! Hopefully we'll see you again in the future!

An absolutely amazing place with a wonderful atmosphere run with great enthusiasm and love. Thanks to the great enthusiasm and commitment of the owners and staff, the hostel is absolutely unique, it literally shines with cleanliness and positive energy. All equipment tastefully designed and decorated and still like new. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! If we go to Skye again, we won't even consider another accommodation! Thanks!!

Available outdoor games (e.g. huge chess) and in bad weather (which we did not experience) the possibility of sitting in a heated transparent ball in the garden. In addition to all the equipment of the common and again completely clean and shiny kitchen, free tea, coffee and hot chocolate are also available. The staff is willing and qualified to give advice on where to go on hikes.

Would Recommend: Yes

Best Hostel stay ever! Great welcome on arrival all staff were friendly and informative about the island and other areas on the mainland. We stayed one night in a Jedi Hut out in the well kept garden, it was very comfortable, warm and tastefully furnished. It was so lovely to wake up in the morning to bird song. The hostel was very clean throughout, with a well laid out kitchen, dinning and lounge area, and bathroom facilities were excellent, it really was a home from home with all you needed. We made use of the drying room to dry our motorbike kit, such an asset to any accommodation. Thank you Brian & Team for making us feel so welcome at your Hostel, we hope to be back again one day.

A beautiful Hôtel, a friendly welcome. The top !

A very good place . The best hôtel during our trip in Scotland !

Would Recommend: Yes

1st June 2024:

I stayed here as it was handy to catch the St Kilda trip from Stein, and worth five stars just for that! Good for walking in the Cuillins, though that’s not my thing, and close to Talisker Distillery. Clean and friendly, and good kitchen facilities etc. Sharing showers and toilets is not everybody’s thing, but it’s good for the soul! Staff seemed caring and helpful, which is nice. Local roads are pretty bad, so watch your tyres (tires).

You can rent a towel. There seems to be a local bus service (if you don’t have a car), but I don’t imagine buses are very frequent. There is a nice bay twenty minutes’ walk away.

Wonderful place to stay. The most welcoming owners and staff which we've ever met. Helping with any questions and give a great advice for places to visit. The whole place is very well organised - kitchen, bathrooms, rooms, common areas. Very clean, comfortable and warm. You can cook your own dinner, store your food in the fridge or cupboard, make tea or coffee - and all people there were very friendly and respectful. Peaceful surroundings, nice garden, beautiful views. It will be always our first choice for accommodation on Skye.

Locations wise - it's not the easiest to get to without a car. But with the car - great starting point to see Skye, as located right in the middle of Isle.

Would Recommend: Yes

Love the quirky artwork, the background music is wonderful.

I have not stayed in a hostel since my teen years and it was my husbands first time staying in one. Skyewalker hostel exceeded our expectations, I particularly liked how funny and friendly the staff are. We stayed in one of the jedi huts which was very cosy. The whole place is quirky and there is humorous stuff on the walls and the back of toilet doors to read. Every day there was cake to buy and the brownies were so good. If I ever stayed in another hostel it would be hard to beat this one. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The old inn in carbost has live music Check map on the wall in reception to see places to visit. Do your food shop in Portree co op before arriving as there is only a small shop nearby. The hostel always had butter other guests had left free to use

We enjoyed staying at Skyewalker Hostel for 5 nights in early June. It was fantastic. The staff are all friendly and exceedingly helpful. Their advice on places to go, what time of day is best, or not, for a short walk, for a long walk, for beach, or scenery, short drive away, long drive but worth it, all was spot on. We were welcomed back at the end of each day with interested questions on how our day went, even though they must have heard the same from hundreds of guests before us. The staff are the best. The kitchen is very well-set up with plenty of hotplates, washing-up sinks, crockery, pots, etc. Everywhere is very clean. Tidying up after yourself in the kitchen and bathrooms is reinforced with humour, not nagging. There was plenty of room in the fridges and storage boxes in the kitchen to store cold food and dry stuff. The bunkroom we had was small but adequate - you don’t want to sit in your room anyway. There are plenty of places in the lounge, dining area and outside to sit and read, chat, relax, whatever. Great value for an enjoyable stay on Skye.

You do need a car to get places on Skye. Portnalong is 11 minutes drive from Carbost, up a steep, steep, narrow, pot-holed road. One group did arrive by bike while we were there - they were on their way to the ferry to outer islands. But to enjoy a variety of walks on different parts of Skye you need a car to get there and then back to the hostel. I regret we didn’t have more time to spend in Broadford - our short time in Broadford left me wishing we had visited there earlier in our stay. Don’t post to instagram about the beautiful spots! It just means they get loved to death (like the Fairy Pools). Enjoy them, take photos and show your friends, but don’t tell the whole world! There are too many of us trying to visit already : (

We had the friendliest welcome at this hostel. Kitchen is great, clean and very well equipped. Showers also spotless. There’s a big outdoor area with games and of course the dome. Fantastic location on a beautiful peninsula. Big shout out and thank you to Georgia for wonderful recommendations for local walks and all round friendliness!

If arriving by bus, plan well! There are no buses at weekends and 3 per day on weekdays. People are often willing offer a lift though

My sister and I loved our time at Skyewalker hostel! The family who run it and staff there are so friendly and helpful, always making sure we were comfortable and gave plenty of great recommendations for things to do/ see. Very clean facilities. We stayed in the garden huts which were just gorgeous. Very comfortable and cosy - perfect for two people. They even had hot water bottles and a lollipop on each of our pillows on arrival! You can tell they really care about their customers down to the tiny details. It was a great location to base ourselves on to explore Skye. Added bonus that they have the awesome stargazing igloo out the back, perfect to hang out free of the cold and the midgies! Would definitely stay here again.

Everywhere on Skye is quite remote so ideally you need a car to get around- would be very difficult without one! Also- the nearest pub/ restaurant is 5 min drive or about an hour walk away so best to bring food to cook in the kitchen, just something to be aware of.

Would Recommend: Yes

Staff were exceptional and the hostel is very clean! Appreciated the cards and games.

Very clean and organized hostel with exceptional staff. The road to the hostel is a bit of a challenge, but the hostel is safe and welcoming. Huge equipped kitchen or the Old Inn pub down the road is great.

My fourth of fifth visit. Superb as ever. Well equipped for self-catering and immaculately clean. Friendly, chatty staff. The best toilet block in Scotland!

The local pub wasn’t open for food/drink in the evenings when we stayed. Be prepared for a 3 mile hike to the next one, or a taxi trip, or bringing food back.

We stayed for 2 nights at skywalker hostel. The hostel is very clean (kitchen, bathrooms spotless) and the rooms are spacious and nice. Very nice and fun decoration everywhere. It"s the best hostel I have stayed at! We really loved it :) It's 10 min from talisker whisky distillery, 30 min from Portree and 20 min from the fairy pools so well located on Skye!! I absoluteky recommend!!

Think about bringing some food as it is quite isolated and not many food options close by! You can still go to Portree if needed, just for the convenience.
