One of the Best hostel I stayed. Friendly owner and staff, cozy common spaces (living Room and the rooftop). It Is a small hostel (2 dorms) so it Is really easy to meet other guests. The vibes Are really good and you feel like home. They provide also pancakes for breakfast.

Absolutely loved this hostel. The facilities, the staff and the communal breakfast were all great. My only problem is that I didn’t stay longer. The shower and bathroom was maybe the cleanest I’ve experienced in several months of travelling in hostels. Would 100% recommend this to solo travellers looking by to meet people and check out Faro. When I come back I will definitely be staying here again.

Casa de Madalena is a beautiful hostel, clean, in a central location, and with the perfect atmosphere for backpackers. If this wasn't enough, the staff is always smiling and available to make sure everyone 's experience turns out to be unforgettable. Oh, and did I already mention the incredible packakes?

I had hoped to eat pancakes for breakfast, but they are not served until 09:30, which was too late for my early morning plans. Still appreciate the offer though.

Great hostel! Lovely people, good ambiance, beautiful rooftop. Chill vibe. They have a ritual of watching the sunset from the waterside, and a wishing well. It feels like the hostel is build out of love.

Only suggestion is about breakfast. It is included in the booming. They serve amazing pancakes at 9:30, with many jam, peanut butter… also you can have breakfast before, but the only thing missing is toast, because unless you buy your own, you wont have anything to put it on. There are also cereals you can be fair, but I think offering just simple toasts would make the breakfast superb 💯

The staff very friendly. The terrace with the hammock is heaven. Very central, clean, and great vibes. The pancakes are deliciuos

This box is irrelevant, there's nothing not to like.

I don't really know where to start I have stayed at many hostels, but none are like this the staff really do go the extra mile after a few days they all became almost like family, I would recommend this place to anyone as you are not just getting a place to stay , you get memories, build connections with others & OH YEAH AND PANCAKES EVERY MORNING! Ps. Big shout out to cátia for putting up with my tizm moments. P.p.s I will be back.

The pancakes! Just kidding, I loved everything, from the people working there, to the place and the guests

They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and help you make a friend in the hostel. It’s extremely clean and well looked after. I have also never felt safer in a hostel.

My stay in Alvor was very nice thanks to Simon and his girfriend Sofie. Their rooftop had an amazing view over the town. The rooms were decorated in a mix of Swedish and Portuguese styles. This has been well thought of. Sofie has a lot of skills for interior design. Also I liked the idea of the 'honest bar' where drinks are stored in a fridge and payments can be done based upon trust. This already explains how much trust the hosts give to their guests. I want to thank also for the nice kitesurf session I had with the host Simon. As I mentioned, very friendly people. I hope sincerily that you will be meeting them soon.

Cátia is so nice and helpful. She showed around the hostel and helped to figure out the activities and also recommended restaurants

As a tall person, the upper bunk beds were very high up, a bit too close to the ceiling, but nothing that would create an issue. Just the first time i noticed how high up they are.

Outdoor shower, happy hour with the 1euro beer, Comfortable rooftop, well organized. Everything was well thought out. Location is perfect, easy to reach from the Flixbus stop or bus station, they have a 24h desk and are fast to reply, easy to reach and communicate with. Local tips and safety high notch as well.:)

Everything! But to be more precise: - The employees! (all of them but special forced shoutout to Cátia and Nathalie) - The rooftop! - the Atmosphere - The breakfast & sunset get together - everyone who stayed there
