Fabulous location. Reception staff were welcoming and friendly. Comfortable bed. Shower could have been a little more powerful. Evening meal wasn't brilliant but overall good value for the price.

Great staff and a good stop along the Al west Highland Way. Can’t beat the location right on Loch Lomond! (Be sure to get in for a swim!). Would have 5 stars, but the showers were pretty rough.

I had to book a 6 bed room, last room left. I can’t imagine 6 people in there. Very cramped. Staff were not particularly helpful.

Very nice place in the middle of nowhere! Beautiful located at a lake with view on the mountains.
The consequence of that middle of nowhere is that the wifi from the location (almost) never works, so does your own connection (depending of your provider).
Rooms are small, but okay. Sleeping rooms are nice heated, but if needed they provide additional bed sheets. The rest of the building is pretty cold so take a sweater.
Great, kind people working. Big kitchen and common room with view on the lake and mountains. Really recommended to come to a good rest, and of course for a hike to the mountains.

Great option to stay at during a west highland way trip. Clean rooms, decent showers and a great lounge room with views over the loch.

Lovely hostel in a beautiful setting. Everything was clean, the bed was extremely comfortable. The food was good. The room was a little bit on the small side for 6 people with luggage but manageable. The only real problem was the women's showers which appeared to have some sort of drainage problem and left you standing ankle deep in dirty water. Hopefully this will be sorted soon!
