    I was very comfortable staying there and have no negative comments.

    The hosts are amazing, kind people. Fatima comes round every day to clean and help the guests. She really cares about the guests a lot. The hostel is spacious, bright, clean and well equipped. There is a large common area with a kitchen and seating area. Such a great place to stay and meet other travelers. The hostel deserves it high rating.

    There is nothing I didnt like. It deserves the great reviews.

    Fatima and her family are the most genuine and kind hosts I've ever met. She visit every day to clean and make sure everyone is ok. She really cares about her guests. The property is spacious, bright, clean, well located and well equipped. Such a great place to stay.

    The host is the sweetest, most warm and welcoming person. You can tell she really cares about her guests, and she comes by every day to clean or check on things. Beds are very comfortable, and bathrooms are clean and large with plenty of hot water.

    The room is pretty small and it doesn't have air conditioning, but a ventilator, so especially if you're on the top bed, barely any fresh air gets there, so it was extremely hot. If an air conditioning doesn't fit in the room it would be good at least to put it in the hallway so some cold air could flow into the room.

    It was very clean, the bed was comfortable, there were two separate showers, the staff was very kind and wanted to help with our stay as much as they could, they had a good hair dryer which is a rarity. There was also a small balcony that had a hanger for wet laundry and I never saw that in a hostel so it is a big bonus for me.

    Clean hostel with excellent facilities, close to the city centre and beaches

    The check-in was bad, because I had to wait for more than 30 minutes to be let into the hostel to check-in. The hostel was relatively expensive, although the coastal area along Albufeira is generally expensive.

    The hostel owners are friendly and gave some good advice and recommendations. The hostel is more like an apartment because it's for 6 people only, and there are 3 bathrooms in total. Also there is a kitchen area, and a fridge, freezer and cupboard to store any food that you have. The hostel was very clean and well kept. The location is also very good as it's within walking distance of the city centre, and some beaches like Praia dos Alemães.

    Curtains could be added for more privacy. Some people snoring which ruined a bit my sleep, but it was not the fault of the accommodation. If you snore, it is usually better to book your own room to not disturb others

    Very lovely accommodation, everything is well ordered and kept clean! The staff is super friendly and fun! Also close to the beach and in the middle of everything so it is possible to reach the main areas by foot :)

    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 think the price was a little too high but then again, August is a popular time to go to Albufeira so I can’t complain too much

    Location is good. 5 minute walk from the beach. 1 minute walk to the bus stop to go to the main Albufeira bus station. 10-15 minute walk to Albufeira old town. Staff were very friendly, warm and welcoming. Bathrooms were clean and good quality.

    What's not to like there when you have some super human beings running the show.

    Boas-Vindas & especially Tiago & Fatima will hold a very special place in my heart. They are always smiling and not the extra mile, but many many miles more to do whatever it takes to make the guest smile. They are extremely empathetic to solve all your troubles. May God Bless Them At All Times, till Eternity, AMEN

    Nothing to report

    The Hostel is located close to Albufeira down town and there's plenty of free parking around. It's clean and have an area for relax and kitchen. Beside that, Fátima and Tiago were the perfect hosts! Hope to see you both again, if not in Albufeira, in Hotel Avenida 😂

    I was on the top bunk and the ladder wasn't ideal. Struggled to find the place but phoned Fatima who helped.

    Fatima is an amazing host. Great facilities. Had everything I needed. Towels, shower gels, tea/coffee, iron/board Living room is a nice space. Good location. More like a home than a hostel.
