    Some facilities were a little cramped including catering area on the ground floor and very small communal sitting area. Also adjacent outside community area missing seating and additional tables.

    Location, location, location. Close to the beach and low key local environment including the estuary area. Short walk to the bus stop for the airport and local ferry into Faro. Quiet respectful guests in the dorm, cleanliness, lockers, clean bedding and helpful staff.

    The room was warm, would be nicer if there are electric fans… no curtains for privacy of lodgers too…

    I like that it is easy to find, and taking an uber is very cheap. It is really literally near the shoreline.

    There was no toaster in our shared kitchen which was a shame as missed having toast for breakfast. The pillows were very flat and when I asked for another one was told there was not any. Decor dated but not an issue for me. Thought the price could have been a bit less as sharing a bathroom.

    HI, location was great - right near the beach and the bars/restaurants. 20/25 min walk from the ferry to Faro town. Staff helpful. Room and shared areas clean. Roof terrace was a great addition. Sun umberellas that you could use and locker storage for bags.

    The creaky beds - you can’t move with out the bed making a noise. The bathroom does have a private space to get changed before and after taking a shower so someone of the opposite sex can easily walk in on you.

    The location on the beach and close the the airport is great.

    I didn't like the behavior of a few guests. They just didn't behave appropriately in the collective space. We were sharing bathrooms and kitchens and they didn't think about leaving as they found. The staff cleaned up all day long but some people's hygiene was poor.

    I loved the staff's availability to help and the proximity of the beach

    The beds, showers and kitchen were pretty but this is to be expected for the low cost of the hostel.

    Very close to the beach, easy to get to from the airport. The balconies were a nice place to meet people as a solo traveler.

    Wifi was very limited and unreliable, beds were squeaky, the room was too hot with no fans. The outdoor communal table was right next to the bedroom windows so if you wanted to sleep and people were still outside talking, it can be loud and staff did nothing to enforce quiet hours.

    It was just 1 minute walk away from the beach and cafes nearby. Good size locker for your bag.

    There's no key given to you for locking the room so anyone can enter at any time and that was a major safety concern. You have to pay extra for the padlocks for your locker. The beds are comfortable but rather squeaky and it felt like my bed wasn't cleaned before I checked in. The bathroom space is crammed and the toilet space too which was extremely uncomfortable.

    The staff was friendly and helpful. The hostel is very close to the beach and a short ride from the airport. The rooftop is accessible and has a good view of the beach. There's a balcony and a kitchen next to the room. Sockets near the bed for charging phones etc. A decent amount of space between all the beds.

    One bathroom was getting flooded after every shower, the floor of the room wasn't that clean. It could be good to have a tour in the hostel so we could see the whole facility instead of just the room, for example the balconies and terraces. Could also have individual lamps so during the night people could have some light without turning on the main light.

    The location was really perfect! The terrace was really nice for seeing the sunset and the staff too. Very good outdoor spaces.

    Most of travellers make lot of noises at night. I couldn't sleep for 4night. And when they use the toilet they don't clean even though there is mop and bucket in toilet to wipe the water off the floor. But there's nothing else.

    Location is great and it's close to the beach. I love it.

    Bit more communal space for guests.

    Pretty basic but everything was clean and friendly staff. The communal facilities tended to be used by others not staying at the hotel which made things a little crowded but the location was fine.

    The "4-bed dorm" was essentially an 8-bed dorm as it connected to another one without any door between them. The beds were also too short
