Bed bug reports

Confirmed Hostelworld
We had a terrible experience with bedbugs in our dorm room, and they infested our belongings. The staff admitted that bedbugs had been a recurring issue. The pool was dirty and off-limits, our room smelled of mold, and the shower was clogged, which we had to fix ourselves after the staff failed to. While some staff were friendly, one was particularly rude, ignoring us and other guests, and even partied loudly until 2 AM, only to later criticize us for quietly playing cards.

Vibe Analysis
Shared meals and a lively communal rhythm shape the stay here. The staff are often friendly and hands-on, and the house can feel warm and welcoming for solo travelers or anyone who wants an easy social setting. There is a pool, garden, terrace, and rooftop space with sunset views. The setting works well for beach and surf days, with Ribeira d'Ilhas within walking distance and other surf spots close by. Room quality and upkeep are uneven. Some rooms are spacious and clean, while others can be damp, noisy, or affected by smells from plumbing or sewage. Shared kitchens and bathrooms can also be messy, and some facilities may need maintenance.

- Shared kitchens and bathrooms can get messy and may need more upkeep.
- The property sits outside the center, so a car or ride-hail can be useful.
