Guest Reviews
- Ethan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ben (1/5): Total scam. - Nothing. This property is not available! I arrived at the address, couldn't find the hostel, and called the property to find out it had been shut for 3 years. Booking.com need to take off this listing immediately.
- Sean (1/5): Bad - Got there and was told it had closed down! Was not informed by booking.com
- Raduan (1/5): Its all said … you should at least yearly check your apartments on site before confirm our reservations and before payme - What should I like It doesn’t exist I already explained to you it doesn’t exist. You didn’t return our payment!
- Almeida (1/5): Bad - Dont exist, I was in albufera for 2 days in this hostel when I went to the address and asked for the locals, where was this hostel they said, "had close a 3 years ago". Just bait, guys
- Marco (1/5): Bad - This property basically doesn’t even exist. It’s just a scam trying to rip off people everything that you don’t really need when you’re gone on holiday and then you’ll get to the door when you find out that the property doesn’t even exist so you basically big big big scam something should be done about this.
- Rohan (1/5): it was a scam - it was shut down i need refund
- Tony (3/5): Stayed here last year - O.K. This year very poor in comparison. - Location & proximity to beach. No outdoor area. No Cutlery or Crockery. Saw a Rat upstairs in the property. No freezer compartment in Fridge. Generally Poor overall.
- Golam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ricardo (5/5): Passable -
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
- Nicola (5/5): Passable -
- Sam (2/5): Very poor -
- Khoyrul (1/5): The Worst Hostel in Albufeira, Portugal Albufeira is one of the best places I have ever travelled i -
- Mariana (1/5): Awful - There was literally nothing to like. Just don't book this place. Check in and check out is a huge hassle because of the specific times you are allowed to do it, otherwise you have to pay some dumb fees or can't get your (!!!TWENTY EURO!!!) key deposit. There's no actual reception you have to hunt down the staff to get help. The rooms have 3 level bunk beds with stained mattresses and pillows. The bathrooms are SO dirty and in of them the shower head did not work, you had to shower throw a hole on the hose of the shower head. This place isn't cheap either and we figured it 'it has low ratings but how bad could it really be', oh it's bad.
- Camila (2/5): Very poor - the location, but it’s very noise. every thing!
- Anastazija (8/5): Very good -
- Future (9/5): Superb -
- Karoline (5/5): Passable - The place has a great location and have a lot of potential. Just a shame the owners don’t care about it I recommend for one night only. The place is really noisy, old, and it looks like they never give a clean
- Riccarda (1/5): dirty, uncomfortable, unsafe place in a good location - good location in the old town, kind staff we couldnt lock our room, the curtains were seethrough, there wasnt a real closet, our bed was almost breaking, the bathroom was filled with water and it smelled really bad
- Paulo (1/5): Bad -
- Paulo (1/5): Bad -
- Dibyajyoti (1/5): Bad - Nothing They will ask for deposit of 20€ for key as security deposit and next morning at the time of checkout they will be nowhere.People will be waiting for the refund but they will not turn up.So the security deposit is lost.
- Nicolò (3/5): Poor -
- Sahand (7/5): Good -
- Kateřina (1/5): Really bad - Nothing It was really dirty, no cleaning in the long time. No toilet paper, kitchen not usable at all, no cutlery, plates no nothing and very dirty. Beds were uncomfortable. The noise was horrible. Just bad experience. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone.
- Kuipers (1/5): Bad -
- Gabriela (3/5): Poor -
- Jusztina (5/5): cheap stay - Cleaner then I was expected. Cleaning staff working hard every morning, if you find something unexpected isn't their fault. The hostel is in the party zone, you could expect drunk guests here, earplugs highly recommended! Otherwise sleep during the day and stay awake during the night. Charge your phone before midnight, because for some reason there is no electricity during the night. The consequences: fan won't work, no light on the corridor, bathroom, kitchen appliances won't be use even at 10 am until the first staff will be arrive and turn on the electricity! Have your shower early otherwise no hot water later. Bring your own towel, toiletries and a roll of toilet paper (believe me you will need it). Take my advice and have a good holiday. During my stay, one night the water was cut off. Only try to imagine the toilet after a couple of guests! A mop and a bucket would be a benefit in the bathroom, to dry up the splashing water.
- Darya (1/5): Bad -
- Wang (5/5): Passable -
- Gregory (1/5): Will never go back - Nothing Dirty and Noisy
- Gregory (1/5): Spend more elsewhere - Nothing Dirt and noisy
- Olle (2/5): Very poor - Close to the main street and the beach Very disgusting toilets and the beds are small and rooms are crowded. If you live in the top bunk, you really get to practice your acrobatic moves. very loud with doors and windows slamming all the time (can't close it). There are notes everywhere reminding of a lot of rules, if you don't follow the rules, they will charge you extra amount of money. You pay 20 euros in deposit for no reason at all. Remember the receipt!! Otherwise you won't get your money back! But.. the staff are friendly and very helpful.
