At the hostel, every room comes with a wardrobe. With a shared bathroom equipped with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Baleal Classic Waves Guest House also provide guests with free WiFi, while selected rooms include a garden view. At the accommodation every room is equipped with bed linen and towels.

I had to book something on short notice for a night and Baleal Classic Waves Guest House was just around the corner of my old place. Everything was super easy and uncomplicated, I could check-in early which I really appreciated. The house was spotless with all amenities that I needed. I booked a single room with balcony and private bathroom. It was nicely decorated and the bed was comfy. The house is an old house which has been renovated. That means, on the one hand it's modern, on the other hand it comes with some small perks of an old house. For example: While the living room are / kitchen area is very spacious, rooms and bathrooms are more on the small side (however, the shower itself is spacious enough also for tall / big people, with good water pressure). There is enough space to store away empty luggage in the wardrobe in the hallway. Communication with Diogo, the manager of the property was super fast and easy and I got all information I needed beforehand. I can fully recommend staying there and I think it's good value for money. Oh, an not to forget: It's in walking distance to surf beaches, surf shops and supermarkets :) You can store surfboards and wetsuits in the garage and there is a lot of outdoorspace to chill out.

Carlos is the most AMAZING surf instructor. He is calm and attentive, and his sense of serenity and chilled vibe makes you feel confident in normally scary big waves. He is great at giving feedback and also breaking things down into easy ways to learn. The best surf instructor I have EVER had. Thank you thank you. I wish more surf instructors were calm with giving feedback in an encouraging way :)

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.

    Great location and wonderful vibe, the staff were really friendly and would 'introduce' each newcomer to those already in the hostel, and it had a really inclusive and fun atmosphere, great for solo travellers like me. It felt more like a home than a hostel, good kitchen set up and comfy rooms. I was recommended this place by another traveller and it didn't disappoint!
