We liked everything, the accommodation was very clean and comfortable. The communal area was great. It had everything you needed. It's in a great area an great to just chill. The staff were excellent very helpful and plesent. Very enjoyable stay we will definitely be back again
Only thing I wasn't keen on was the dark when you walked at the gate entrance towards the building.

As hostels go, this is really good with good facilities. Really nice exclusive use room with en suite shower room. Fab location. Kitchen and dining room were very good. Management were really good too, sorted out an issue promptly and efficiently.
Nothing about the hostel specifically. But other residents are not always as considerate as they might be.

Fabulous location on the WHW. Receptionist was lovely and efficient. The facilities were outstanding and the bed was clean and comfy. Great that you can hire towels and the fridges and drying room were great.
The hostel cant do anything, I guess, about the other residents banging doors at all times of the night. Shower took ages to get hot but it was good enough when it did.

This hostel was on the West Highland Way route . It offered hostel and camping options. The hostel was well run and very clean. The kitchen facilities were excellent -lots of tables . Helpful staff.
An earlier check in rather than the strict 3 pm would have prevented the line up at the door at 3 pm .

Very beautiful location, surrounded by mountains and rivers. There is a shared kitchen, where we can prepare our own meals. It is also a good place to meet other people exploring the area and share experiences as well as food.
Heat is only available a few hours in the morning and at night. However the room can keep the heat.

Great location on the west highland way. Good kitchen facilities, comfortable beds. Very easy to check in and good communication from hosts. Nice community vibe whilst having your own space.
Room TV sound quality wasn’t good - ended up just switching it off as we couldn’t watch it. The press timer on the shower is quite annoying, although I understand why it is there.

The hostel is excellent, good value, and very friendly and helpful, no nonsense staff.
The staff can obviously do nothing about this so it's up to travellers to be prepared but the midges are quite horrible especially if you're camping and there's a lot of them.

It’s great for camping or staying in a room, the staff are really nice and the kitchen is very well equipped. Our room had a private bathroom too, which is really comfortable.
The beds were really close together, but still more comfortable than most. Great value.

Easy access on WHW trail, basic but comfortable room, good common room and self cooking area
Hot water was not super hot, passable but variable and not always hot. No food available onsite but small supermarket, pub and Chinese takeaway a few hundred metres away.

The rooms were very clean and well suited for familys with en-suite bathrooms and full bedding provided. The community kitchen was great with many appliances, fridges, grocery sharing and cake leftovers from a baking contest. It was nice to cook there and meet new people. The entry by password was convenient. Blackwater Hostel is an above the average hostel for sure.
The furnishing in the rooms was a bit old but kind of fitting the surrounding nature.
