The host Stefan is extremely lovely. I was given a quick tour of the hostel and was free to choose whichever bunk bed I wanted. The beds are amazing: outlet, personal light, curtains that let no light in, space to put your things, very comfortable mattress, large lockers. The breakfast was also lovely. Stefan will make you his signature pancakes (also vegan and gluten free if you want). There is also yoghurt, bread, different jams, fruit and cereal. Speaking of food: make sure you participate in the "family dinners". The home-cooked meals (form starters to soup, main, and desert) are amazing. Stefan not only cooks better than most restaurants I have been to on the azores, but you'll also be fed until you explode and that for a very fair price. Finally, I loved the co-working space with nice chairs, privacy and fast WIFI.

The hostel is very spacious, clean and well equipped. I felt very comfortable the days I stayed there. The nice atmosphere makes it easy to get in touch with people. Stefan's and Pedro's attention was magnificent, very kind and helpful. Muito obrigado! :D

I spent only few days here, but felt like at home in a large family. I wish to come back very soon. Un grandissimo abbraccio 😘

Really friendly people running this place. Stefan makes the best pancakes in the world. In the garden of the hostel are at least three joyful cats. The place is clean and tidy. If you are with a car, then there's a spot on the street next to the hostel.

The best hostel in all Azores! Really good vibes, loving hosts, dreaming place, near from everything you need. I loved the interaction between people, the dinners preparated at nights by the team or the guests, excellent! I'll definitely stay more nights with them.

I have not stayed at a hostel in a really, really long time. But I was traveling alone and looking to meet some like-minded people. Staying at Loving Strangers was the best decision I made during my time in Pico. Stefan, Pedro and the rest of the team were welcoming, warm, friendly and OMG... so much fun! I truly had a blast during my time there, met some amazing people, and had some great discussions. I even ended up doing a night climb of Mount Pico with a few other solo travelers from the hostel. Very grateful the universe brought me to a place that took such good care of me. On a practical note, the shared bunk room was super clean, as were all the common areas. There's a supermarket 3 mins walk away, right next to store that sells almost everything (I found headlamps here). Parking was super easy and the neighbors were the sweetest.

This hostel is something else - in a really good way. Pedro and Stefan, your hosts and the owners of the hostel, are the kind of individuals that spread good vibes and positive energy all the time. You’ll feel at home right from the beginning! I loved the vibe. Words can’t really express the feelings you have when getting a taste of their awesome dinners and late nights at the camp fire. If late nights aren’t for you: don’t worry. The rooms are really quiet und the beds are awesome. Maybe that’s also a reason why this place feels like home. Madalena and the ferry terminal are in walking distance. You have nice views over Pico and Fajal (watching the sunset from the terrace in front of the kitchen is a must). Guys, if you are reading this: thanks again for the unbelievable hospitality I was able to experience. Looking forward to giving you a hug again some time in the future!
