    We loved our stay at Madeira surf camp a lot. It’s very clean and the kitchen has everything you need for cooking, additionally it’s cozy and great for connecting to other guests. The terrace is a great place with a beautiful view to relax. Thanks a lot, totally recommend to stay here!

    Nothing bad about the property , BUT the Island Apart’s guests webpage is just an abomination, I hated using it 💔

    I liked pretty much everything - clean room, great location, great downstairs lobby, even better upstairs roof area with bbq, lounge chairs. It really is an amazing property, very convenient to check-in and check put with key box, super convenient to stay when exploring the north-east of Madeira. We don’t surf, but we met other surfers that came to Madeira Surf Camp and they loved it.

    Great location if you want to hike and go surfing. The host is very kind and helps if you want to do an activity or have any questions. The rooftop area and common kitchen were perfect to chill or work on my thesis as well. I can recommend booking a surf class as well, it was a great experience and amazing instructor.

    I'm used to colder weather, so the nights were a bit too hot for me. There is no AC or fan in the room.

    It is a renovated house and it's very clean. Comfortable bed also. Short walk to the beach and the pool.

    My trip to the Madeira Surf Camp was just perfect. The small surf hostel is modern, quiet, everything is new and the rooms are nice. The bed is very cosy and conftable and the living room has a good kitchen area to cook. Big smart tv as well fo rnetflix addicted ones. The roof top and the view there s just amazing. The owner is very friendly and helps in everything. He gave me good adresses for car rental (local one). There is a small store, pharmacie and some good restaurants just around the corner. Surfers, who loves the solitude and silence are right at this place. Book and enjoy

    very modern and comfortable accommodation with plenty of space and facilities. The rooftop terrace with sun loungers and a bbq is a big plus. The owner Hélder was nice and easy to communicate with. He runs an excellent surf school which I highly recommend.

    Newly renovated and very clean hostel/hotel in the heart of Porto Da Cruz with great shared areas

    Rooms got a bit humid and damp in the air during the night so would suggest leaving the windows open if it's warm enough.

    Newly renovated hostel/hotel type of accommodation. If you want to have a private holiday you can, if you want to interact with other guests in the shared areas you can as well. There is a nice lounging spot on the roof and in the downstairs kitchen/living room area. Check-in was very easy with a self-service lockbox outside. Rooms are simple and clean and have a lovely view on the 1st floor of a local church. Short walk to the beach areas and hiking trails.

    The rooftop, the decoration, the comfort, the equipment, the view, the location... The surfcamp is really a nice place to stay. And I highly recommend taking surf lessons with Helder, he's the best teacher I ever met and you'll make progress in no time.

    The drain in the shower wasn't working properly. Also in the morning it was a heavy drainage smell in the bathroom. The kettle in the kitchen did not work.

    The location was very good. Also the room was very clean. And the owner was readily answering al our questions.

    But overall a nice place, just maybe not so much in winter as it is a very sleepy village.

    Unfortunately the drains made my room smells awful so I was moved to another room the second night. Little to no soundproofing so could hear other guests. Was also cheaper to book directly, (35€/night instead of £40/night!) I paid far more through booking.com than I could have which is disappointing.

    Lovely clean, comfortable rooms and the staff were very communicative and helpful.

    You can hear everything from your neighbor rooms. A church is directly next to the accomodation.

    The room was very clean and nicely designed. The contactless key access was also nice. Free parking place is nearby.
