----------------Currently looking for volunteers to stay either 1 month starting from: ---------------------

We are looking for Workawayers to assist with the daily hostel duties primarily cleaning and possibly reception - Tasks include; making beds, vacuuming floors, cleaning showers and toilets - anything that ensures that the hostel is clean and comfortable for our guests.

In exchange for working about 4 hours per day for 6 days/week for accommodation in our staff dorm and a food allowance (£35) , free breakfast daily, free laundry service, free WiFi and free unlimited tea, coffee and hot chocolate! Not to mention the awesome friends you will make with people from all over the world. With a day off you can make the most of exploring the local areas and taking advantage of what Scotland has to offer further afield!

Please note that we are pretty isolated, in the sense that there are no shops out here (ASDA/Tesco do deliver), just us and maybe a monster or two out here. Also all helpers will have to adhere to work restrictions of the UK and will need to be either an EU citizen or hold a valid work visa.

Come make some memories with us!

Hope to hear from you soon!

There's plenty of walks in the local area and lots of peace and quiet during the day, during the night time things can get pretty busy so expect a lot of great conversations with new friends over a bottle of wine! (or two) We do organise some local day trips here and there to see some of the other sites around the area such as Foyers Falls and Urquart Castle.

Oh my goodness, what can I say about this incredible place? This was my first workaway experience and it set the bar incredibly high. Too much is never asked of you, you're made to feel so at home and comfortable and you have plenty of time in your day to chill out in the lounge or go hiking and exploring. I met so many amazing people and have… read more

The review I left a few month ago through the phone app apparently failed :(
So I went in June 2019, it was my first workaway experience and it couldn't have been better. Hayden and Noé are really nice and they always make sure that everything is ok for you. The hostel in itself is amazing, set on the bank of the Loch Ness in a wonderful nature.… read more

I cannot imagine my first Workaway experience going any better than it did here.

I spent 1 month at the hostel, between April and May. My time at the Hostel was the last of my trip, and I think I couldn't have found a better place.

My experience at the Loch Ness Youth Hostel was simply amazing.
I stayed there for about two weeks in November and even though it was low season I would definitely recommend volunteering there during winter.
First of all Hayden was kind enough to let me come at the hostel for my first workaway experience. He is easy-going, trustful and taught me… read more

I spent a month in the hostel last summer, and honestly, it was amazing. I had to admit I was a bit nervous at the beginning because my first workaway experience was so great I was scared the next one wouldn't be as much, but I couldn't have chosen a better follow up.

I feel like this is one of the best first Workaway experiences I could have had. I came at a time where there weren't many guests left, so it was very relaxed (not boring!) and indeed felt like a second temporary home - Hayden is very welcoming and puts you at ease. Instructions for work are straightforward and easy to follow. If you love hiking… read more
