It was near deserted, and the weather was bad when I stayed, but the hostel itself is well located, close to the beach and bus stop, and it was fully equipped and comfortable. In different circumstances, I would give it a higher rating.

I stayed here for one night to experience the beach side of Faro and regretted it. The hostel would be lovely if you were in a group but as a solo traveller it felt more like staying in someone’s house and there was no one else to meet. The patio was amazing and the kitchen and beach were great but felt very lonely and awkward. The showers were freezing and you couldn’t adjust the water temp and the A/C was cranked which would be nice but in January not ideal. Would only recommend to a group...

Établissement très bien situé à quelques mètres seulement de la plage et facilement accessible en transports publics. Très calme en dehors de la haute saison.

Always been my dream to live in a house nearby the beach, this hostel is it! Cozy, clean, bed is comfy, the staff cleans the house diligently everyday, the decoration and vibe is like a home, free coffee in kitchen, there's a balcony for some sea view, and a swing chair (my favorite) Only wish I booked more days to stay here! Only 2 mins walk from the seaside, some nice seafood restaurant down the street, truly amazing and for anyone who craves the tranquility and beach view this is perfect!

Super ! Great location, the beach is just in front of the hostel. The place is stunning, great view from the terrace, pretty quiet and peaceful. Guests are respectful and easy to connect and meet some. The kitchen v’is well furnished and spacious. The staff is very kind and the place is clean. A/c in dormitories. Easy to feel home here. Only downside : no curtain on the dormitory bed. Other than that, I would definitely recommend it

I think the price is too much for what is offered , I stayed in a share bankbed room and for what is payed everything is basic. Also I asked before how to go early to the airport, they said no problem with bolt, but turns out and i think it's important for the next after me to know that it's really hard to get a Uber / bolt during night or early morning , I needed a Uber to go to the air port at 6 am and they where not coming to pick me up ! I had to take a lime bike instead.

Really cool place to stay, people are great and the staff are helpful. Only moan is the door to get into my room, you had to have alot of patience with it as the lock wasn't working as well as it should. Other than that its an awesome place to stay!

the location ist perfect. 10 m to the beach on the one side and a fantastic view on the terrace on the other side. also very clean, good equipped and organized kitchen. what bothered me was that the rooms are very very small and there are no curtains. for me that's an absolute must in hostels in terms of privacy and also noise cancelling.

very clean and cosy hostel. beach is 30 seconds from the fromt door and hostel is perfect for being lazy in the heat. faro city and airport only 20 minutes away. very friendly atmosphere in the hostel. sometimes dolphins swim up and down the river.

Top Lage direkt am Strand – besser geht’s kaum! Die Schließfächer waren groß und praktisch. Leider keine Vorhänge an den Betten und die Zimmer recht eng. Das Personal wirkte teilweise unmotiviert und wenig hilfsbereit. Negativ: Nur zwei Toiletten für etwa 15 bis 20 Gäste – das war teils problematisch.

What I really liked and want to emphasize: my locker was not functional, I told them about, and 1 hour later they send me an mail that they fixed it and then it worked! Everything could be broken once in a while, I was really astonished that they fixed it immediately! Nice, warm, clean hostel!
