    It would be even better if there was somewhere in the bathroom where I could hang my clothes when taking a shower.

    The staff was very helpful and nice. The kitchen is spacious and user friendly.

    The bathrooms need to be a bit more love.

    Very Friendly staff, shared meals with the others guests, organized tours to Peniche, Fresh fish from the fisherman truck, very good location close to the beach, the restaurant, grocery, but still very quiet area. It was a very comfortable room. The common areas are good to create new friendships. Nice Terrasse over looking the lagoon!

    I have a lot of stuff which takes almost all the room in the 4bed dorm.

    Very nice and relaxed atmosphere. A beautiful view over the lagoon from the terrace. The owner is a cool guy that brings you to the station for a fair price.

    Lourenço is a friendly host and chill to hang around with. The terrace has a great view on the sea, the sunset and the stars. The hostel is close to the laguna and beach and the dog Charlie is super sweet.

    Stunning views and sweet owner make this a real find in Portugal.

    The jacuzzi in the photos is by pre-arrangement and I guess is only cleaned in summer season. There is also a fee for its use, which is fine, but don't expect a jacuzzi unless you've checked first.

    This hostal is in a stunning location with amazing views over the lagoon at the sea. It's a short walk to a row of tasty seaside restaurants (get a pastel de nata at "O Banheriro") and to a cute little village with a few good restaurants and small market. Owner lovely and helpful. Great place to chill out. If you like to kayak, stand up paddle, surf or fish, it's perfect. Or just chill on nice decks with views, I think you can BBQ also. I was absolutely fine staying here alone (super safe area). Could be a really fun place for a group of people too. I haven't been in a youth hostal in 30 years, so had a bit of trepidation! Bunk beds were clean surprisingly comfy and I slept soundly - however luckily, no one else was in my room. Public transport around here is extremely limited, especially on weekends, so ended up booking this last minute cause I didn't want to wait for hours for a bus to go back to my hotel in Obidos. It was a wonderful mistake. Called for a taxi to Obidos in the morning for just over 20 Euros; think I woke up the taxi driver. Great adventure overall.

    It’s a party hostel. People were so loud all night that we couldn’t sleep and had to check out the next day. We were not refunded the money. The hot tub advertised was broken. The included breakfast advertised is not for Booking.com customers. The bathrooms were dirty. It was a waste of our money, unfortunately.

    The manager was very nice and as helpful as he could be.

    The atmosphere at the hostel was great and the owners were super welcoming and warm and helped with everything. Also they spoke perfect English. I don't have anything bad to say about this hostel, also the location is great and the rooms are very comfy.
