I was messaged that I would need to self check in on arrival which wasn't an issue but no details were sent on which room number I was or where/ how to collect key.
The number provided took many attempts to contact.

The site is very run down, rooms in poor condition, not even dispensed hand soap in the bathrooms and I expected dispensed shower gel but absolutely nothing.
The site has been run into the ground, room dirty and bedding all stained. Mattresses have had their day, a really terrible experience for a £90 a night stay!!! I would avoid and take a tent or sleep in your car for better comfort

1st, the location of this hostel is not where it shows on the map. 2nd make sure you pay close attention to how to properly LOCK the door, people will just walk in otherwise. 3rd the earliest the kitchen is open is 7:30 am. Aside from these points, this location is a great value for the money and the area. We were able to get to Lochness/Urquhart Castle ruins in 15 minutes by car. We had 4 adults in our room. 3 beds, bedding, toilet, a roll of toilet paper, shower, hot water, working heat, and UK plug-ins all provided and worked properly. (Bring your own towels.) We were very pleased with the accommodations and recommend for a basic, economical, no frills stay. Thank you for providing this safe, convenient option for those on a budget.

We had received driving directions to the place, but no check-in instructions that were supposed to come in a separate email. We received an email at 11:17 that day saying their power was out...no follow-up email. We arrived anyways, and the place was deserted. Went around to all the doors, and the only unlocked was the kitchen. Trying to get refund, but have gotten no response. Had to book something else, last minute.

No hot water and builders outside the window....av

Not good. Black mold around the ill fitting door. Stains on the walls but worst of all no hot water. Staying with children, one with a medical requirement that means she has to bathe twice daily, no running hot water was awful. She had to shower in freezing cold water. We knew this place was going to be basic but this was bad. Too late to find somewhere else to stay we were stuck witb it.
Along with no hot water. Building work began early in the morning with men in high viz working all around, great when you open the curtains to find them working outside the window.
Parking was also a pain.
All in all I would not recommend this place.

No towels provided on site and we were not aware of this until checkin. We were given a self check in code that was incorrect and were unable to get into our room. We booked the four person quadruple suite and when we checked in there were only three beds and a sofa with no extra linens or pillows. We called to discuss this issue and were told that we had booked a 3 person room despite my confirmation for the quadruple room. We were forced to pay an additional £20 for a bigger room.

Was really cold though and couldn’t get anything dry. The bathroom door did not close or stay shut , so from the glass front door u could see right in to whoever was in the bathroom . Neighbours were very noisey so walks paper thin. Not impressed it was a roof over my head . Not the best stay I’ve ever had. I came from Applecross Bunkhouse hostel and it was warm and cosy this was not unfortunately . Staff were nice though .

Outside Bathroom window is broken so it doesn't lock and the bathroom door doesnt close so no privacy from strangers or family, we couldnt leave anything in the room during the day as anyone could have come in very easily!

Windowsill and blind in the bathroom were filthy

Room is the most basic I've ever been in with the beds, a mirror and a set of drawers.

Think twice before booking

Quite disappointed by the booking. To start with as per booking towels were supposed to be provided but to our horror there were no amenities in the room. We stayed in Room 3
- the room heater was not working.
- the shower drain was clogged.
- the shower pipe was covered with mould and dirt
- the bed lamp was not working.

Luckily we took a towel which saved 3 of us.

The common area was clean and we spent much of our time there.

The kitchen was fully equipped but while cooking the smoke alarm used to get activated as the hood was not working and just because everyone was using it the bins were overflowing with rubbish.

Amazing, until you have someone staying next door.

On our first night here we thought we'd stumbled into heaven. Cheap as chips, great sized room and bathroom, nice and quiet, lovely common area and amenities. On the second night we realised the room next to ours had been empty at first, as this time you could hear absolutely everything its occupants said and did (or screamed and thumped). Both our polite and less polite requests for quiet were declined, so we resorted to dragging our mattresses through to the bathroom and sleeping there instead. On the plus side, it's great that the bathroom can fit two mattresses in it.

We booked the BCC Loch Ness because we were working around the Inverness area so, location, other than it’s proximity to our venues wasn’t massively important. We booked because it was less than £100 for a two night weekend stay in July. It’s not a prime position but if you’re walking or passing through we imagine it would be fine. The rooms are pleasant, no issues with cleanliness or quality for the price. It is a hostel, so it’s communal living-many people coming and going at all different times-some friendlier than others but that didn’t bother us as we were there to sleep not to commune. One thing to note, the WiFi is included, it’s free and fast but only available in the main communal area not the rooms as was kind of implied when booking. Our room had a TV and freeview box-we noticed it had the wrong remote but didn’t try to change it for the reason below. We didn’t have a problem with parking but it did fill up quickly. The main and only issue we had was the service. It states you have to call before you arrive as reception isn’t always manned. Just be aware that you are ringing the number of Scotland’s worst receptionist and the rudest that we personally have EVER come across. If you are new to the BCC then forget it. We’re easy going and polite but after a while of being spoken to like idiots we finally pulled him up on his attitude and HE hung up! If you’re someone who worries about making phone calls, he’s your worst nightmare. He made us dread our arrival.

We ended up at the hostel because we were looking at staying in the area of Inverness and it was the only place that wasn't booked. We usually stay in Hotels or B and Bs so I wasn't sure what to expect from a hostel. The caretaker of the place met us when we got here and showed us to our room. He was pleasant and helpful. The room itself was simple with 5 single beds. I found the mattresses to be a bit cheap and uncomfortable, but I'm 51. My 14 year old son seemed to find it pretty comfortable however. The rooms are clean and the shower was exceptional. The kitchen/ dining area is very nice and well organized.

They don’t provide any soap in the bathrooms so don’t expect to wash your hands unless you walk to the kitchen building and use dish soap. We asked for soap and they said they had none to offer.
No towels for showers either.

Over all the place was good condition. Much nicer than other hostels but it’s important to know that it provides the BARE bones basics.

Family Vacation

We had a nice stay at this hostel, the room was clean and big enough for the four of us. The beds were uncomfortable though and the oven in the main kitchen was dodgy but all in all it was a nice place to sleep. Douglas was a great host and helped us with the stove and anything else we needed. He told us the stove was being replaced so that is good news but I really think they should invest in some new beds. Douglas also entertained us with some great stories so we did have a great time there.

BCC Loch Ness Hostel

The room was nice and bright and clean, good shower too. The communal kitchen /dining area were clean and fresh and well equipped. Definitely a great experience

Not so clean but cozy

It is in the middle of nowhere, looking like a construction site. Suitable for East European lorry drivers for one or two nights' stay but definitely not a family friendly place. A dirty run down play area beside the kitchen/dining does not mean it is for family with young kids.

Nearest place to find food is 20 minute's drive. It is advisable to buy your own food with you before arriving. The kitchen is well equipped and there is plenty of space in the fridges.

We liked the common dining/living room. The free wifi was only available in that area.

Beds were cozy. The bins in the room and bathroom were full when we got our room.

OK time at the Lock Ness hostel

No towels, no soap - not even just to wash your hands. Only one available outlet in the room. Otherwise, the room was spacious and quiet. The location was a bit

Deep in the woods

This place is a bit hard to find. Once we got there, they didn't seem to know of our booking but checked us in anyways. The internet was not working, which put us out a bit. The room was clean and basic. There were 2 single beds and 2 bunk beds. Basic stay for a night, don't expect a lot. The kitchen was handy to make breakfast.

Great place to stay

The hostel is in a beautiful location, the room was simple but clean and comfortable, and the common area with the kitchen was very convenient.

You need to bring all linens, pillows, toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap and dish rags. The owner had a group of men who stay there yeast round. They think they own the place and that it is their home. One of the men snatched a frying pan from my hand and said it was his. I got it from pan cabinet. They do not like to share equipment and space and were very rude.
