Overview

Skye Backpackers is located in the picturesque fishing village of Kyleakin and is surrounded by mountains and sea. It's a small, cozy hostel with an open fire in the lounge, a lovely backyard garden, great self-catering kitchen and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Kyleakin is the perfect base for exploring this magnificent Island and, unlike larger settlements on Skye, it is small enough to allow you to meet the friendly locals, enjoy a lively pub scene and above all, experience the tranquillity of its stunning seaside location.

Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praise the hostel's friendly and helpful staff, as well as its convenient location for exploring the Isle of Skye. However, several reviews mention issues with cleanliness, uncomfortable beds, and cramped rooms. The hostel offers good kitchen facilities and a welcoming atmosphere, but some guests found the shared bathrooms and communal spaces insufficient for the number of guests. Overall, the positive service and location stand out, though improvements in comfort and cleanliness are needed.
