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.

    We loved the house with its pool area and sea view. The banana plantations that surround the house give a tropical feel. Great location close to Ribeira Brava and easy to drive to the north side of the island.

    My least favourite hostel yet. Dirty, smelly, no decent common area to meet other travellers. The owner was friendly but that was about it. Do not recommend.

    Loved the comfy bed and the door I’m not sure if locked properly but I hope so. But I was safe all night. Bath room had some stains near plug for bath and some stains on sheets. Outdated amenities in the Kitchette, could be cheaper price
