A bit late breakfast set up. Thin doors and no Isolation of noise.

Great value for money, location and easy to arrange surf lessons. Beautiful views from the balcony!

That I had to ever leave.

Everything. Absolutely everything. Location, layout, decor, view of the ocean. Just everything.

The breakfast room was almost nearly full and hard to find space on the table even though we were going much later. Also the breakfast items were running out fast and we had to manage replenishing the coffee or other items on our own. Another issue was with the other guests not picking up and cleaning after themselves. In the shower areas, guests were leaving their soiled towels and that didn't leave space to hang stuff when using the shower. Guests should be asked to hang their used towels in their rooms.

The staff's customer service was fantastic from beginning to end, in providing us information about transportation, the local town and beach areas and the shopping and dining. Although we didn't participate in all the events/activities organized, they did a pretty good job of planning paid community dinners.

The manager was inflexible about the time of breakfast and would not accommodate our needs for earlier breakfast

Good vibe and view

This place is amazing! We booked for one month and couldn’t find one negative thing about this hostel. The breakfast include basics and all you need. The staff is friendly and they offer multiple activities you can join if you are up to. The location is right above the beach and the houses offer terraces with amazing views. In the month of a stay everything was clean for the whole time. Bathroom and kitchen was cleaned daily and kept tidy unlike some of the hostels we stayed in the past. We recommend this place!

Matresses drove apart, it was not a single bed, but two beds put together.

I was told that I wasGot an upgrade. On the saturday I saw the mainhouse where I was supposed to stay and I felt that I was downgraded.

The location and The view

Breakfast could have more options (especially more fruit and lactose-free products)

Perfect location, the view from the room and friendly staff.

The bed wasn't put together well. One side was higher than the other with a hard lump and a dip in between. Breakfast was a little slow to come out. No bread for toasting just rolls. Butter was straight out of the fridge so difficult to spread. Had to wash our dishes after breakfast which seemed a little strange as there was a guy working. Checkout was supposed to be 11 but the cleaning staff came at 10 and started cleaning everything. Felt a little awkward.

Nice quiet street

The heating in the 4 bedroom dorm was not good. There were these 2 small electric heaters but they don't really make the room warm enough.

The staff are very friendly. The view/landscape from the hostel is spectacular. The location is great, 7 mins walk from the center of Ericeira. They provide surf classes every day and the instructor drives you to Ribeira, one of the nice beaches for beginners. They made the breakfast time flexible according to the surfing lessons timing which is amazing.

The house was clean and in a great location walking distance to the beach and town. There are daily social activities arranged. Facilities were clean.

There was nothing I didn't like...I'm trying to think of any complaints. Maybe the pillows were kind of small on the beds. But I am really stretching to think of anything negative. It was an awesome place.

This was an amazing hostel! One of the best I've ever stayed at. I stayed for a couple days at the beginning of a surf trip around Portugal and it was so nice that I came back and stayed again at the end of my trip. If I was to do another trip to Portugal I probably will just stay at Surf and Chill for the entire time. It has easy free parking, the breakfast is delicious and plentiful, the rooms are clean and bright (I paid for a private room, did not see the dorms), and the vibe is perfect! They curate a wonderful sense of community. I participated in one group surf expedition that was awesome. And went to one of the group dinners. Super fun crew that is clearly connected with the local community. The waitresses and other patrons at the restaurants knew the hostel workers and it made me feel like I was part of a crew, not a solo traveler. After dinner we went to a "underground" bar that was really cool. Highly recommend staying with surf and chill.

Comfortable stay with a beautiful view. Short walk into town for food. Not many staying when we were there but bathrooms possibly too busy when full. Breakfast doesn't start till 9ish but shared kitchen available

Stayed in November 2023

Dishes were not so clean in one of the buildings because there was no dishwasher. a little bit too expensive for the standard of Ericeira but worth it

super nice hostel not too far from the center or the beach. They organize a lot of activities and there's a nice atmosphere. Big breakfast with lots of options. Friendly staff and people

One toilet for the whole dorm was a bit weird but it wasn't that big of a deal. The shower had low pressure and took a lot of time for the water to flow away, but atleast it was always hot.

Nice house, clean and had everything you could need for cooking.

Stayed in November 2023

not soundproof so could be loud in the house with a bar. take earplugs.

I just want to say THANK YOU for your existence. Whoever looking for hostels in Ericeira, Chill created not only nice and affordable place to stay but created a Society. Bar, surfing, music, PEOPLE everything is amazing and worth each minute of staying. This is one of such places around the world where you are always welcome to come and stay.

That we couldn’t cook our own food because of the stoves being shut down. Tried to cook something in the Owen but that was very dusty and not used for quite some time.

what a lovely place. Perfect location. Clean. I meant such wonderful people in the hostel. Loved the organized dinners - DONT MISS ON BBQ NIGHTS!!!!!

No pressure in the water in the shower, no light in the stairs

Great place, we loved it

Stayed in October 2023

Breakfast is served quite late, and the time they would serve it was not always reliable. Also, there was no wifi when I stayed there so I got saddled with a big phone bill because I needed to do some work.

Breakfast was a great spread - much more than I expected. There's a great ocean view from anywhere on the property. They also do their best to organise lots of activities.

Awesome vibes there! Super friendly people and staff! Activities were great. Clean hostel with comfy beds.

I definitely would've enjoyed some croissants or Hashbrowns at breakfast you know something hot, but I can understand that a lot of people that stay here are surfers so might not be optimal surfer diet for slow release energy. I think I missed out by not taking them up on their classes due to my friends staying elsewhere but I'll be back

Breakfast was decent, not what you would expect, but very tasty. The selection wasn't huge, you had your 3 options of cereal, a couple choices in yoghurt, 2 types of very tasty bread (white and brown) with lots of different spread options from PB&J, Nutella to Butter with cheese. Steamed egg, a toaster and fresh salad. Coffee Tea, milk and soya milk.

Nothing to add

The vibe, location(house 15 the best view!), people and staff were all great. They organised dinners, movie nights and other things. Overall great stay, would come again!
