Best hostel ever!!!
One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in! The staff were so lovely, they made sure I was okay every single day! Didn’t want to leave! Was a little bit far from the main strip but was so close to a McDonald’s for late night food or a supermarket for easy food/drink access

More than a hostel
I had a lovely 2 night stay at my guest house, Manuela and her staff were more than welcoming, making it feel like you were staying with a family friend. The rooms are clean and the pool area is lovely, making it feel more like a hotel than a hostel. It's a bit of walk from the beach but not too far. Would love to stay again.

Amazing!!
Can not express enough how incredible this place is! Definitely not your typical hostel. My first time travelling alone, and felt totally safe and looked after. The hostel even dropped me to the bus station several times. Breakfast is AMAZING! I literally can’t think of a single bad word to say about the place, was so sad to leave that I returned at the end of my trip!

Perfect hostel for a relaxing get away
For a long weekend break this hostel is perfect. The owners Manuela and Carla are very welcoming and very kind, they provide an amazing breakfast and are very helpful when arranging activities (Carla booked a diving trip for me). Will and Paige also very welcoming and friendly, they are great for arranging trips out of the hostel and are very good for pointing you in the right direction for things you want to do. They create a great environment in the hostel.

Helpful host. Clean and safe.
This was a great hostel. Clean, cozy, friendly. The hostel has bikes to borrow for a quick ride to the beach. Easy to get to with taxi from train station. Called the hostel because flight delay caused a late evening check in and it was taken care of and not a problem at all. The host was very helpful on the telephone (whatsapp) and the staff at hostel was very friendly.

A very friendly hostel with both dorms and separate rooms. We stayed in a separate room that was fresh and clean, with shared bathroom. Although, we heard that others got rooms facing the other side next to a kindergarten and was a little upset about this due to all the sound. All guests get breakfast included, it's a plate with basically some bread, cheese/ham, juice and coffee,not much but the owner was friendly and if you wanted more food you could always ask for this, she wanted to make sure everyone had a great stay and provided information about nearby activities to do. The location was good, about 15 min to the city where all the restaurants and bars were located at by the coast. I would probably prefer to stay at other hotels but if you're used to hostels this was a friendly and calm one.

괜찮은 가격에 근처에 대형마트있고, 식사도 맛있어요
해변에서는 거리가 있지만, 급히 일박하려고 찾아보다가 숙박했어요- 굉장히 친절하고요, 깨끗하게 잘 정돈 되어있어요 조용하고 이쁜곳에 위치해 있어요. 화장실은 확실히 여자분들 들어가면 너무 안나오셔서 조금 힘들었어요 ㅠㅠ 수영장쪽 창문방은 시끄러울수도 있어요. 제가 갔을땐 새벽 3시까시 수영하는 커플 클라스 ㅠㅠ 대박이쥬 근처에 대형마트도 있고, 조식은 정말 좋았어요. 친절하고요

Très belle maison et très bien équipée rien à dire la dessus Par Contre la nuit chiens qui aboient ( quartier résidentiel) et la journée crèche juste à côté :( A côté des supermarchés mais il faut quand même être véhiculé pour aller en ville ou la plage. Dortoir filles juste à l'entrée et à côté de la réception mais dans l'ensemble très bon accueil et séjour

Top ! Parfait pour un séjour comme à la maison !
Tout a été parfait : de l'accueil à notre arrivée jusqu'à notre départ. Manuela et Carla sont deux femmes exceptionnelles qui nous ont fait sentir comme à la maison pendant toute la durée de notre séjour. Le personnel est également super sympa. Notre chambre était propre, avec un petit balcon donnant sur la piscine. À côté de la piscine, il y a une grande salle avec cuisine où tout le monde peut cuisiner et manger, dehors des salons de jardin et des transats permettent de profiter de l'extérieur, la piscine est nettoyée tous les jours. Le grand supermarché n'est qu'à une dizaine de minutes à pied. Pour le reste, il faut avoir une voiture. Tout est facilement accessible, les plages sont à 5 min de voiture et les restaurants à moins de 10 minutes. L'endroit est calme, dans un quartier résidentiel, c'est très agréable. Nous avons croisé pleins de gens de différents pays, c'est génial de pouvoir échanger avec autant de personnes gentilles comme tout au détour d'un apéro... Bref, tout était top ! On recommande cette guest house et on y retournera sans hésitation lors d'un prochain séjour à Portimao. Merci encore à tout le staff et particulièrement à Manuela et Carla !

Adorei!! Desde a localização próxima a vários supermercados e restaurantes, da simpatia e amabilidade da D.Manuela, Carla e restastes elementos. A casa é grande, sempre limpa, com um ambiente super familiar. O tempo não esteve bom mas ainda deu para aproveitar um pouco a piscina da casa. Recomendo a todos os níveis e volto brevemente Adorei conhecer-vos!! Até breve :)
