Liked: The location is wonderful with spectacular views across the loch. Lots of good outdoor space. The lounge area is huge and very comfortable. I was also very impressed with the self catering facilities. I intend to come back with lots of family members to enjoy quality time together in a great friendly atmosphere.
Disliked: The driveway up to the hostel was very hazardous due to the many large potholes. My old car took a bit of a beating.

Liked: The place is brilliant. The building is nicely desinged. The toilets were very clean.
Disliked: The showers were ok, the kind you need to hold the tap with one hand all time! My room was smelly. I dont know because of the room itself or because of the roommates' stuff.

Liked: Excellently maintained. One of the cleanest hostels I've stayed in and this was on a Saturday night when it was fully booked. Location cannot be beaten in terms of beauty and remoteness. Seems a good destination for families too.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike.
