The property was nestled in the lovely mountains of the Highlands. It was gorgeous. It was also a nice drive to and from the Isle of Skye area. The staff, in particular, were very knowledgeable, friendly and kind. They were hardworking and kept the place clean and tidy. Would highly recommend.

Excellent property and the area where it’s located it’s breath taking. Only issue we found was showers in one of the bath areas was out of order so we had to go to the other side showers. Highly recommended place and i will stay again

This was our first time at a hostel and was everything I hoped it would be. We also got the packed lunch and the host went above and beyond when we made a special request. It was a wonderful experience! Topped by watching a deer outside our window in the morning!

Good condition/ good standard hostel
Good condition/ good standard hostel though it’s a bit pricy side.
Room is clean, toilet is clean shower is fine but weak water pressure but maybe due to the rural location.
Receptionist is friendly and was very nice.
Would stay again.

Torridon youth hostel is n the bottom of the scenic Torridon hills, the surrounding was beautiful abd children friendly shore walk nearby.
We with kids throughly enjoyed the stay. The staffs were very friendly abd helpful. They suggested to visit apple Ross on the evening of our stay abd it was well worth doing that day in the decry sunny evening.
We love to recommend Torridon youth hostel for both families with children and youth groups.

Great location
Great location, and great staff, and great value. First time in a hostel and a shared dormitory But was ok and really superb value compared to a very expensive hotel which I would have used if available. I was delighted with my resulting choice

Excellent hostel
This is a very nice hostel. The staff were super friendly and helpful. We stayed in a room with 5 single beds. It wasn't a big room, but it was sufficient. The bathrooms were clean and easy to access. The hostel is in an isolated and very beautiful spot. We didn't use it, but the kitchen is very large.
