Guest Reviews
- Abdelhakim (10/5): - everything was good and great if I come again here I’ll choose this hostel 🙏🥰
- Daniela (9/5): - É próximo do centro vila, muito bem limpo!
- Elisa Werder (10/5): -
- Manuel (10/5): Ottima scelta a Santa Maria - Tutto, stanza bella e pulita letto comodo.
Proprietaria molto gentile.
Buona posizione a 5 minuti a piedi dalla via principale.
Buon prezzo. Niente
- Águeda (10/5): Best guesthouse in town - The place is amazing and the host even more so. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely return if I visit Sal again! 🫶🏻
- Yeelen (10/5): - Profumava di pulito ogni giorno, pulizia delle camere impeccabile e giornaliera, ti rifanno anche il letto ogni giorno (piegandomi il pigiama come fossi in un 5 stelle!!!!), Adaja è sempre disponibile e gentile, tutto impeccabile!
- Meryem Rachdi (8/5): Ottimo - Posizione buona, proprietaria molto cordiale e disponibile per qualsiasi informazione. Cucinotto con tutto il necessario per arrangiarsi. Camera mediocre e pulita, bagno schiuma, shampoo e il necessario disponibile in bagno.
Il giorno del chek out ci ha dato la possibilità di stare lì fino a tardi dato che avevamo il volo più tardi, in generale soddisfatti. Unica pecca l'acqua a volte scarseggia, ma è un problema in tutta l'isola. E il materasso un pò troppo duro.
Da considerarsi che a parte i resort di lusso anche hotel ed appartamenti sono mediocri e bisogna accontentarsi.
- Lukas (10/5): - Very nice host, we felt at home! Beach & Center are only a couple of minutes away (walking ) -
- Khadija (10/5): J’aime et je recommande - Très propre et la Host elle m’a bien accueilli! Je recommande vivement cet endroit!
- _wawerek_ (10/5): - Wszystko w porzadku. Na duzy plus mozliwość pozostawienia bagaży po wymeldowaniu się. ;)
- Marta (9/5): Todo genial, repetiriamos sin duda - Adeja fue muy amable con nosotros, la habitación estaba muy bien y era cómoda, además limpiaban la habitación todos los días cosa que se agradece mucho. Las zonas comunes estaban muy bien y limpias también por si querías hacerte el desayuno o algo
- Maria (9/5): Great, peaceful stay - Very friendly and attentive host who provided us with local tips. Spacious room and en-suite toilet. Cleanliness on point. Very quiet and peaceful. Not much. The accommodation is not right in the center of Santa Maria, but less than 10mins walk from all shops/bars.
- vitor (8/5): Muito sossegado, perto do centro - Higiene diária, hostel muito limpo, simpatia da funcionaria de limpeza, muito prestável e disponível nas informações a proprietária Adaja, gostei, foram uns dias bem passados. Nada de relevante, embora seja possível melhorar sempre mais um pouco.
- Marie (9/5): - La posizione, la calma, accoliente, tutto pulito...😍 è la seconda volta per me.
👍 Niente
- federico (9/5): -
- Ryan (9/5): - Nice and clean room, everything as expected
- Patricia (10/5): - The room was spacious and very clean. We had the private double. Adamant made us feel very welcome, and was very helpful with recommendations for trips, restaurants, and anything else we needed. She also arranged taxis to and from the airport for us.
The hotel is perfectly located for everything.
For the money we paid, we were very happy . Nothing.
- Margaux (10/5): Je recommande ++ - Superbe auberge ! Emplacement idéal proche du centre. Endroit calme. Adaja est géniale !
- Daniel (8/5): I would recommend - The dorm is just 3 beds, which is great. The kitchen was well equipped, and the common area was good as a co-working space too. The host is always available to help. Towels were included which is always nice. The bed was comfortable and there was cleaning every day. Internet was not lightning speed but enough for videocalls and stable across both floors. The location is not in the middle of the town but it's just a few minutes walk and quiet so not bad.
The main downside was the low water pressure at some times of the day. A rack to dry the towels would be a good improvement.
- Erik (10/5): - Really nice small hostel to stay. It is clean, the dorm is quite spacious with quite a big locker, there is a plug in next to the bed, WiFi works well and the kitchen is well equiped. Adaja is a friendly and helpful host, she gave some really good recommendations
- Maria del Pilar (7/5): -
- Emily (9/5): Solo female - Sept 25 - This was wonderful accommodation 5 mins walk from Santa Maria Peir. The host is very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms were kept spotlessly clean. I was a solo female traveller and felt very safe during my stay. The rooms have bedding, cost hangers,, good hair dryer, towels, shampoo and soap. There is good wifi throughout the property. The shared kitchen and dining area is kept very clean and has all you need. There are fans in the room but no air conditioning. This was okay for me but just something to be aware of.
- Orlando (10/5): - Adaja, es muy servicial. Todo estaba limpio, te da recomendaciones de restaurantes, supermercados y buenas indicaciones. Estuve algo enfermo y me atendió con su ayuda. Un encanto, la verdad. Para repetir. Todo perfecto
- Claudia (7/5): -
- Luca (8/5): Buen lugar para corta estancia - Precio asequible respecto a los precios de la zona La almohada de la cama era incómoda
- TAMARA (8/5): Correcto - El precio era asequible y la habitación tenía baño.
La anfitriona nos envió muchísima información sobre cosas que hacer en Sal. Disponible para consultar dudas antes y durante la estancia. No nos dimos cuenta que la habitación estaba dentro de una casa con otras habitaciones que también se reservan. Había personas algo ruidosas, aunque esto puede pasar en cualquier lugar.

- Ioana (10/5): Exceptional - I had a great, spacey private with a big bathroom and it was excellent to rest there. The common areas were great, the kitchen is truly really fully equipped. There is daily cleaning, to the point where you walk barefoot and there is nothing sticking to your feet. Good, hot shower, lovely staff, possibility to leave your luggage after check out, great location, 10 minutes from the beach and main shopping street. I had a great stay!
- Olivier (9/5): Perfect for those who like to meet people, try something new, while staying independent. - Simplicity & Flexibility
- Radim (9/5): It is a nice hostel but they have got private room too - The landlord Adaja was lovely and helpful she was waiting for me when I arrived, room has got a reasonable size with high ceiling, private bathroom Only one small thing the foam mattress is sinking a lot it took me some time to find comfortable position for sleeping maybe my back is highly demanding 😉
