The Experience

Come and join our wee fun-loving hostel family in the Capital of the Highlands! We're looking for superstar volunteers who enjoy a craic and can help us 24 hours per week (4 hours per day for 6 days). This is a mixture of morning, afternoon + night shifts, incl. making beds, cleaning the hostel and greeting lovely guests. In exchange you get free accommodation, laundry, breakfast, and food allowance so you can cook yourself lunch and dinner :)

I had the loveliest time at this hostel! It was my first time volunteering, and I feel it went really well. Jason, Eloise, and Gordon are the best managers and people ever. Everything is incredibly well organised, which makes the whole experience super easy and enjoyable. They really go out of their way to make sure you have a great time! The work is very manageable, with shifts typically lasting 2–4 hours. The schedule is well organised, and the team makes everything run smoothly. I'd absolutely recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a great volunteering experience!

Absolutely loved my time at the hostel! Jason, Eloise and Gordon are truly wonderful people who make sure the time with them is awesome.

Work is super simple, with us generally finishing the housekeeping within 2-3 of the 4 hours listed. Plus only 1-2 night shifts per week are usually followed with the day off afterwards, which is highly convenient.

Lots to see and do in/ around Inverness, and the opportunity to cover an extra shift to stay at one of the sister hostels.

11/10! :)

We spent 4 weeks in the hostel and had an amazing experience! Eloise, Jason and Gordon were extremely kind, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. The work is simple, relaxed, and very well organized, with our agreed working hours always fully respected. We received £50 per week as a contribution towards expenses, as well as breakfast. The location is excellent, close to tourist attractions, supermarkets, parks, and everything is easily accessible on foot. We highly recommend this hostel and hope to come back next year! ❤️

My time at the hostel was easily one of the highlights of my trip. The vibe at the hostel is amazing, the team is great, the daily tasks were straightforward and clear, and there was always enough time off to head out on day trips or just enjoy the town. If you're looking for an authentic experience in the Highlands, don't hesitate to apply!

The hostel is in an excellent location, and the cleaning tasks are exactly as described, the work isn't strenuous, leaving you with enough energy to enjoy the city during your free time. The team welcomed me with a great attitude and made me feel at ease and right at home from the very first moment. I highly recommend it.
It was an incredible experience.
