Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Friendly staff, clean sheets, comfy beds, okay Wi-Fi. The communal area had dog-eared cards and board games, and anyone seated near the pool table risked getting a pool cue in the head. The kitchen area could have had better labelling on the scrap and recycling bins.

Having never stayed at a backpackers place before, I was pleasantly surprised with this option (it was the last place in Oban to have vacancies). I had a room to myself, although had to share toilets and showers with the other guests, but these were both clean and more than acceptable. The little room had a comfortable bed and good linen, and caters for the mobile phone generation with two USB points. I didn’t hear any late night noises. I didn’t use the communal kitchen and lounge, but both looked ok and had cooking and refrigeration facilities.

Well appointed backpackers in a central location. Great kitchen facilities if you want to save by cooking ( no oven). While leaving to go find kiwi in nearby Traill Park, found a kiwi poking around on the front lawn - more luck than good planning. Stayed before and after doing a Great Walk so appreciated being able to leave a bag of clothes to change into after a few days of mud.

The staff were incredibly warm and helpful. We had booked during school camp season, thus had to tent but we were given everything we needed to make our stay easy. On our return from the 3day great walk the staff had made sure that the school kids knew to be quiet and give us room to recover. We were offered space to dry out our gear. Even store our stuff after check out time until the boat came on the day we left. I will be making a return in the near future.

Welcomed by lovely staff before our hike. When we finished our 11 day hike, we were welcomed again although we didn't smell fresh. Our boots were dried for us. Very clean and friendly atmosphere. Will highly recommend

Appart from the central location and tidy facilities it got really caring hosts. I was camping there as the weather turned into a worsening, gusty snowstorm. I probably would have turned into an ice block out there, but Owner Sharon upgraded me to stay in her last free room for the night without extra charge. That was on the last night of a 4 day stay and really made my holiday. Ka Pai guys. Matt
