Traveller reviews

“Great place to stay, enjoy, relax, breath!”
20 Jul 2025
Ballater Hostel is an amazing place. Located in the beautiful and tranquil village of Ballater, it's a great place to stay. Dominique is really kind and will give you the best suggestions for trips, hikes, and food. She is always ready to help guests. The beds are comfortable, the space is very clean, and the rooms have plenty of natural light. This place is truly wonderful!

“Lovely hostel”

The hostel is in the city centre , tucked in a quite street, and near to some nice restaurants and pubs. So you get the best of both worlds! The host is very nice and helpful.

The property is very central and conventional for the area. A drying room, the loch muick room has a bathroom and separate wet room for showering. The best kitchen area I have personally seen in a hostel. Extremely clean. Lots of information in different languages. An in depth booklet of hikes for a variety of skill sets. Lively town. Good WiFi. Great price for what there is to offer. Would definitely recommend, already have!
