Any discussion on when to visit Scotland inevitability involves the Scottish weather! We think "unpredictable" is a fair assessment and "come prepared" is our best advice. You can read more on our Weather page.
The main tourist season is from Easter to October. The months of June, July and August are the busiest, coinciding with the summer holidays here and further afield.
Outside this peak season, there is still plenty to do and lots of our hostels are open all year round if you're visiting.
Use our Find a hostel page for more details about when our hostels are open.
If you know which hostel you'd like to stay in, and when, we recommend that you book ahead to guarantee a bed or room for the night. We don't want you to be disappointed.
Please book directly with the hostel. That way you'll get the best price for your stay and the hostel receives the full value of your booking.
We know it's not always possible to book in advance. If that's not an option you can give the hostel a phone on the day or drop in and see what's available.
