Great location on the Isle of Skye
I had a two night stay at Glenbrittle while visiting Isle of Skye. The room was comfy enough (a little cramped for ten people), the bathrooms were nice and very clean, the common areas were well stocked and cozy. There's also a great waterfall right across the road from the hostel and plenty of sheep and lambs to watch in the evenings.

Facility is fine with just the basics. Don’t expect anything more and it is fine. Clean and nice staff. It is very remote with no cell service.

Great location to hike and to visit the Fairy Pools. Comfortable rooms and clean bathrooms and showers. Very large kitchen. Only drawback was biting midges (insects) in our room which are common in Highlands areas. We left with multiple bites. Otherwise our stay was really nice.

I had to cancel my booking at the last day because my ferry got cancelled. I was expecting that they will provide a partial refund but they were not flexible on that which was quite disappointing.

We liked that: landscape, closeness to nature, tranquillity of the place, hellpfulness of the staff, simplicity and at the same time cosiness of the accommodation; breakfast, locally produced craft beer from the island.
