巴拉維爾酒店(Balavil Hotel)

We had a family celebration in the Balavil hotel at the weekend. There was 14 of us and all had different meals from the menus. The food was fantastic a varied menu and my elderly mother was able to have a small plate as she is unable to eat a normal size meal. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff were very attentive, very friendly and helpful. My elderly parents stayed in the hotel and said their room and facilities were excellent. Would highly recommend the hotel.

This was a stop gap as I traveled from Lewis to the Scottish Borders. As a solo female traveler it can be tricky to navigate but the staff bent over backwards to make me feel welcome & comfortable even seating me in a quieter area rather than the noisy, busy bar. All staff were amazing- reception, dinner, bar & breakfast. The food was great too. I will definitely be back.

Excellent hotel ideally located. The most friendliest of staff who did everything even before you asked. Stayed in room 31 which has a huge bathroom. Had dinner and breakfast and both were lovely. The breakfast was the best on our road trip around Scotland. Being southern softies, have not had much haggis but are now converts after eating the haggis starter at dinner and at breakfast. Would definitely return and highly recommend.

After a bad experience at a hotel we had paid for, my boyfriend and I came to this hotel who put us up for the two nights we had originally booked for when we had no where else to go. Staff were friendly and welcoming on arrival, gave us all the information we needed for our stay. They went above and beyond for us Our room was amazing, beds were so comfy and room was just a great size, plenty of space. The big bath was amazing to soak in after a day out exploring in the snow! We had dinner and drinks in the hotel restaurant and the food was high standard and tasted amazing! Nothing was too much for the staff who made us feel at home and always made sure we were happy and looked after. We also had breakfast both mornings and the food was just as amazing! A special shoutout to the staff who looked after us both days, James, Dave and Isla, yous were stars! 🌟 there was also another member of staff who looked after us at dinner the first night but we didn’t catch his name but he also went above and beyond for us! Would recommend this hotel for anyone whether if it’s just for a relaxing few days or if you want to explore! Amazing hotel, could not fault this hotel one bit, we cannot wait to come back again thanks again for looking after us 💫

There were six of us who went for a three day break on 30th December 2023. Well what can I say …. Service - excellent. From the time we booked in until we left, the service we received from all the staff was very good . Food - again - excellent. A great choice on the menu. Caters for everyone. Service was very quick and efficient. A glass of wine was served with every evening meal and this was a real surprise. Thank you. Rooms - very warm and comfortable. Pool - good size for a small hotel. Bar - good and friendly. We played board games and lots of space. Entertainment - just what we needed for a Hogmanay break. Funny and good. If you are looking for a few days away, I would highly recommend The Balavil Hotel. Would I go back ….absolutely. Thank you so much for looking after us.

inconcepibile non trovare il miscelatore nel lavandino del bagno; le luci del bagno si accendono con un laccetto niente interruttori e le prese non tutte funzionanti ... il progresso deve ancora arrivare. Mi aspettavo di meglio in un hotel 3 stelle!

Basic room, but very clean. Wardrobe and dressing table very dated and showed signs of being well used. 1 mirror in room in bad position. The one inside the wardrobe door was difficult when trying to dry my hair, as the door opened the wrong way. Possibly could have one on the wall over the dressing table. The bed was very comfortable. No coffee in room but when staff told, they offered to send some straight away. Nothing too much trouble even when we wanted more toast at breakfast and tea and coffee replenished.

First Class Hotel. Great welcome from the moment we were greeted at Reception and throughout our entire stay. We were in Room 31 which was large and also had an extremely comfortable bed and the bathroom was recently modernised to a very high standard. Food was delicious and service was best ever. Treated to great 🎶 on Friday evening too 😄. Negatives - none. Well done to James and his team. Thank you 😄Can’t wait to return.

Staff were great not a bad thing to say about them or the food which was also excellent, but there are major road works directly outside the hotel which is obviously not the hotels fault but don’t expect to get any sleep (9 months work) the mattress is all 6 rooms we had were terrible, absolutely rock solid…. There are no blinds just a horrible thin curtain which serves next to no purpose. Roof is filled with large black bird nests so all You hear is them scurrying about while you try and sleep. This is a hotel you may stay in for one night as a stop gap while Travelling but certainly not anything longer than that we stayed 12 days through work doing nightshift and it was horrendous not slept well whatsoever … it’s a lovely building which needs a huge refurbishment as the rooms are tired, Could be a fantastic hotel with huge potential but as it stands it’s one to avoid and I won’t be back
