Socialtel Maderas - formerly Selina Maderas

Had a great stay. Staff were nice and helpful. The restaurant had decent option. The place is far from town but they have shuttles running, and you’re right next to Maderas Beach.

Quiet place but the audio system by the pool it’s more annoying that helpfully has too much static

This is our third time since last year, always very pleased and very happy, to bad but really bad the common kitchen is no longer working!! Real bummer!

It is a very beautiful place to see. The pool is great. The location is between two beaches. Maderas is fantastic but you have a steep hill. Marcella is also very nice and an easy walk to get there.

We paid 55 euro at night and that is expensive for what you get. Room was comfortable but very basic. There was more staff than guests and that is not good for the vibe. We ate breakfast and dinner there once and we're the only ones. Portions were very very small5. I hate it when the menu prices are without tax which is sadly common in this country, as for the 10% ' voluntary' tip. So then everything is a quarter more expensive. Because it is supposed to be voluntary, ask before you add it to the bill. The price of the beer was really over the top. 100 Córdoba excluding tax. And that is not "Sociotel" but "anti-sociotel". Giving that the place is so secluded. All of this made that we did not want to recreate here. We found a newly opened very good mini market 500 meter away and so we could make our own breakfast. And ate and had beer at the beach restaurants. Does this place ever wonder why their restaurant is empty?

Location isn’t great. 15 minute walk up and down a huge hill to get to the beach. It’s far from everything else, and nothing else is around except for hush (great dinner! - Up another hill and a couple of restaurants at the beach). When we first arrived we were genuinely the only two guests staying there. It had a huge eerie feeling because it was so empty and quiet. The staff weren’t approachable and still refused to let us check in early (arrived at 1pm, check in was 3pm). That afternoon a man and his child arrived which helped the uneasy feeling a bit. There’s no kitchen. We booked for 3 nights but left after 2.

In theory this place should be nice

They have clearly given up on this place. Not even sure where to begin. Food - average at best, and horrendously overpriced. They’ve kept Selina’s menu but no longer offer half the things on there, and are making the rest up as they go. Ham and cheese sandwich was a burger bun with burger cheese for example. Granola bowl (pictured) came with singular spoon of granola. Drinks unbelievably overpriced - 2-3x more than we have paid elsewhere. Vibes - SO OFF. This place is a ghost town, we saw 4 other guests over 2 nights, and prices make it impossible to justify hanging out at the hostel. It made me think of the movie Palm Springs (trust me) it’s like a time warp of the day Selina went bust. It was genuinely completely dead. Facilities - not particularly well kept or clean, teepee tents are super cramped. Everything is super tired. There is no kitchen despite the page saying that there is. Honestly for the price we paid we were shocked by this place. Our most disappointing stay in 6 weeks of travel so far.

I really enjoyed my stay here. Calmer than other hostels which is exactly what I wanted. Still some nice interaction with other guests. Pool was great, yoga every morning which I loved and my room was comfortable and well priced! Great location near Hush and Maderas Beach
