    The restaurant was a bit expensive for what it was but there are no other options around.

    The breakfast was great.

    It can get noisy depending on who is next door. Not everyone spoke good English so communication can be difficult.

    We stayed 2 nights with our daughters aged 9 and 7. We took a two bunk bed room. The kids loved it. It was simple but clean and practical. The room is small but there is a common area to use, this area had fridge to store food. Location is very good to walk to the miradour, poco verde and the trap of the wolf. There is drinking water running next to the property. There is a pool which we didn’t have time to use. The owner and staff very friendly. The pace had other families and also younger generations. Parking available.

    The room was very clean. Towels were nice and soft. The beds were not so comfortable and the room was very small. The breakfast was very very good - generous with fresh pastries, fruit and coffee any way you like it. Good location for exploring the east and south of the park.

    In general, this is a place that you could not miss in the Area. Excellent premises, location, rooms are update, comfort and service are the number one priority. All customer are treated welcome, This Hostel is more than that is a full comfort , luxury, service, plus restaurant breakfast is amazing fresh food or you can prepare your own food in the common area. Clean liness, Decor, Harmony, Warm rooms in all sense. All the stuff is very helpfull and beyond the expetaction. To be honest, there is not work to descriptive you have to try it. Fafaio is a very nice Village in the Heart of the Peneda Geres Area.

    Pretty noisy at night due to the stray cats and dogs. Had to use a white noise machine.

    We liked that the room was nice and it was close by the nature park. The restaurant downstairs had good food.

    Too many flies. So many things to see, we didn't have time to try the pool!

    Great room, beautiful view of the mountains. Great breakfast and great dinner options in the onsite restaurant. Possibility to use kitchen/communal area to cook for yourself. Great host eager to make sure visitors enjoy the area and gave us recommendations on what to see.
