Fatima is by far the most wonderful and lovely host to exist! The moment I arrived it felt like home. It’s the most familial hostel I have ever been too. On top of that is the location super nice! The old town and the famous „Strip“ (party, going out) are easily accessible by foot. If you come to Albufeira and need a stay - don’t miss out on Fatima and Boas-Vindas. Thank you so much Fatima!

I booked because the name caught my eye and this was the right choice for Albufeira. The location is great, atmosphere is wonderful, beds are comfortable, terrace is a nice space to chill. Yes, the kitchen could be bigger for the number of people staying there and loving to cook for themselves. But that's OK, everyone gets along very well.

He would check in time to time to make sure that I was happy and made sure that I had everything that I can need. He and his girlfriend do a great job of keeping the place clean and making sure that the kitchen is well stocked. I would highly recommend staying here!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The best hostel ever! I loved it here, so I extended my stay for another 5 days! Cris and all the other staff are so friendly. I felt at home immediately :-) I‘ll definitely come back for sure! Had the best time here! Perfect for people who travel alone and want to meet new people from all ober the world :-) The rooftop is amazing, as well as the food there. All the dorms have AC (much needed during the hot summer months).

    Lovely property in a safe communal area. The villa was very well equipped with everything we needed. The location was very central between the old and new town and a very cheap taxi journey to Vilamoura

    Best location possible if a traveller intends on staying in or around old town Albufeira. The interior updates have given the hostel a nice and modern look that is difficult to find in other hostels around the Algarve. Can extra safety measures be taken to help guests feel at ease? Sure. However, if you take responsibilty for your own items and store them away properly, you will not have a problem.

    Safe, peaceful, comfortable, great location, and good budget. We did not use air conditioner even once. I liked the room with the balcony since I enjoyed coffee and cookies every morning outdoor. Airport transportation was great and economic. Seemed to me lady dominated family business so power to the women 💪🏽

    TOUT Orange Terrace hostel is the best hostel I've ever been! Everything is convenient and well thought. There is rules for the coliving and the staff make sure that the guests respect them. So the hostel is always nice, good vides only, CLEAN, and quiet during night time! Which is so appreciated! I felt like home from day 1 and was weird to leave after my 10 days there ! Also they have a private bathroom that gives you a bit more intimacy. They also have tours, I recommend it, it's so much fun !! Thank you for welcoming me !

    We loved the villa, it is in a great location 10 mins from albufeira in a taxi or car ( less than 10 euro), and a 5 to 10 minute walk down to a beautiful beach with a lovely restaurant. There are nice beaches all along the coast near the villa, the location is great if you want quiet, peaceful and safe but if you want shops and things you would need a car or taxis, however the villa did provide push bikes which is nice if you’re fit enough, the staff were great and very helpful.
