BUG review
This lovely little hostel, run by an enthusiastic and friendly older couple, is well equipped for its size, with a good kitchen and eating area, a cosy common room with TV and games, and good dorms and bathrooms, tastefully decorated and very sociable. The view of the sea inlet, castle and hills is delightful and ever changing with the light.

A friend and I stayed at Dun Caan for one night about a week ago and were extremely impressed with how clean and comfortable the hostel is. The owners Terry and Laila are friendly and full of information about Kyleakin, where the hostel is located, and surrounding areas on the Isle of Skye. During the summer, the dorm price is 12 pounds and the room and facilities are completely worth it. The atmosphere is relaxed and personal and I really want to go back!

The Dun Caan Hostel provides a service that many cheap hotels cannot provide.

The rooms and bathrooms were clean and contained everything required by a group of backpacking friends.

The kitchen was well equipped and kept in excellent working order.

Lastly, the hosts were friendly, welcoming, and guided me while I spent time on the Isle of Skye
