Guest Reviews
- Pia (9/5): -
- Laleh (10/5): A Truly Wonderful Stay - I had a wonderful stay at this guest house and would happily return. The location was also excellent, making it easy to explore the area while still feeling peaceful and relaxing.
The room was comfortable, quiet and clean.
Overall, a truly enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this guest house to anyone looking for a comfortable and friendly place to stay.
- Vincent B* (6/5): -
- Francois (9/5): J’y retournerai - Sympathique et très bien équipé. Bien situé Mur un peu mince.
- Mia (8/5): -
- Rodrigo (9/5): -
- Michela (7/5): Nel complesso, una buona esperienza - Ottima posizione e casa ben curata. I ragazzi che la gestiscono sono molto disponibili. La nostra stanza (n3) era troppo piccola, e considerando che dovrebbe poter ospitare fino a tre ospiti, lo spazio è davvero limitato
- Raphaela (7/5): -
- TomásGG (9/5): -
- Julia (10/5): Gute Lage - Die Lage in dem urigen Stadtteil mit der Nähe zum Strand ist gut. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern war sehr gut.
- Lenka (9/5): - Nice and spacious premises. Helpful staff. Very comfortable beds.
- Beate (9/5): - Großzügige Ausstattung der Küche
- Florian (10/5): Sehr schön, wir kommen gerne wieder - Sehr sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet, sehr nettes Personal.
- Susana (9/5): Allotjament bonic, ben ubicat, molt bona atenció de tot l’equip i molt bona relació qualitat-preu. - L’allotjament està ubicat en un lloc cèntric, però a la vegada tranquil. Al costat de la platja de Porto Pim, un lloc bonic per banyar-se i amb vistes al Montse da Guia i a una part del poble.
La casa és molt maca, molt ben equipada i molt neta. La nostra habitació estava a la primera planta i teníem un balcó amb vistes al poble i al mar.
El llit era còmode, el bany gran, l’aire acondicionat perfecte, la cuina amb tot el que necessites, la cafetera Nespresso tot un detall, i la connexió wi-fi bona.
El personal súper atent, professional i molt amable. Molt bona comunicació amb ells, en tot moment, i molt fàcil fer el check-in i el check-out.
Dins la casa hi ha molta informació referent a activitats, mapes, etc.
Facilitat per aparcar al carrer i als voltants, de manera gratuïta.
Al costat de la casa, i amb vistes al mar, hi ha el Cafè Porto Pim, un bon lloc per esmorzar i també per prendre unes tapes durant el dia. Obren de 7 h a 22 h, i el personal és molt amable. Al costat del cafè hi ha el restaurant Genuino, aneu-hi si podeu. El menjar és molt bo, fresc, i el seu propietari, en Genuino, un navegant que ha fet dos vegades la volta al món en veler i en solitari, i que té molt per explicar.
L’illa de Faial ens ha agradat moltíssim i allotjar-nos al Porto Pim Guest House (Horta), durant tres dies, ha estat una molt bona decisió. Recomanem aquest allotjament al cent per cent, i si tornem repetirem sense cap dubte.
- Elena (9/5): - Great location, clean room, everything you need in the kitchen. There are four rooms at the property. Two of them are accessed by very steep stairs. If you have mobility issues or small children, ask the staff what room you are getting ahead of time.
- Bugli Yann (8/5): -
- Michael (7/5): - Sehr zentrale Lage direkt an der Bucht Porto Pim und unweit des Hafens.
Das Zimmer war sauber und die Gemeinschaftsräume waren gemütlich eingerichtet und gut ausgestattet. Das Zimmer war viel zu klein für zwei Personen. Für Alleinreisende bestimmt okay, aber nicht für Paare.
Die Einrichtung war teilweise deutlich in die Jahre genommen und beschädigt (Stuhl und Tisch auf dem sehr kleinen Balkon)
- Francesca (9/5): -
- Anja (8/5): Zentrumsnah und ruhig. - Tolle Lage, sehr ruhig, nahe am Strand. Schöne und saubere Gemeinschaftsbereiche. Modernes Bad. Unkomplizierter Check-in, Anweisungen per WhatsApp. Zimmer sehr klein und beengt, kann man für einige Tage mit klarkommen. Ansonsten alles super.
- Grove (8/5): - Schönes Zimmer mit guter Lage! Pool sah schmutzig aus, haben wir nicht benutzt.
- Benoit (9/5): - Chambre assez grande pour 4 avec clim, sbd parfaite.
Les espaces communs sont très bien organisés, propres et calme.
Proximité de la mer, de la plage, bars et restaurants
- Pascal (8/5): Belle guest house - Situation de cette guest House proche du centre et sur la plage. Jolie maison très bien entretenue. Lits confortables. Salle de bain très propre. Bonne communication avec les propriétaires que nous n'avons cependant pas vus. Les escaliers très raides pour atteindre la chambre un peu exiguë.
- jean jacques (10/5): - L'emplacement, le confort, la cuisine commune très bien aménagée. Rien
- Silvia (9/5): - Sehr gute Lage, fußläufig zum Strand und in den Ort.
- Paloma (9/5): Wonderful. well situated, very clean and confy. - Is located in a very nice area of Horta, close to the harbour area with nice cafes around but in a quiet area.
- Mark (9/5): Superb -
- Carla (9/5): Superb -
- Harrington (9/5): It was great! - Location, cleanliness, organization There was very little space in our room. It was maximized with 3 beds, so it was really tight.
- Shari (10/5): We would definitely recommend! - It was very clean and nice to make meals and relax in the living room. The staff were lovely and the location was great.
- Mark (10/5): More than what it appears - I was confused about how the key code entry worked, and the office sent someone to help us right away. From then on, things went fine. The main reason we picked them was their involvement in science and research, and a tour we received was beyond our expectations. It was arranged on last minute request and made our brief stay the highlight of our 18 days in the islands.
- Cindy (10/5): The little blue house - Great place near the sea. Big apartment, large bedroom with bathroom. The communication with the hosts was easy and they were really caring I recommend this stay.
- Oryan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michele (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was ok The sink in the bathroom is really small.
- Maria (8/5): Very good - House with a great location, very well equipped. Simple but comfortable decoration. Good bathrooms. Staff was very helpful. This particular room is small and too crowded with beds, no free space for two persons to walk around or, in one side, even to get out of the bed.
Should be advertised for this particular room that the access have one set of very steep stairs - hard for seniors with bags ;-)
- Cheryl (9/5): Superb - Good, air conditioning in common area would be amazing as it was so hot.
Cute outdoor space Great location
- Maria (10/5): A perfect option for a more budget stay. - Great location, very clean, good feeling! Nothing
- Stefano (10/5): Cozy and clean accomodation to visit Faial - Very furnished common areas, everything clean and nicely decorated. The staff was very kind to let us leave the luggages untill evening, and then to allow us to stay in the same room after our ship was canceled.
- Andreas (8/5): a recommandable at all place for one overnight stay, - the sleeping and the bath room, both with very modern equipment, comfortable kitchen and lounge, no breakfast included was known before, hence no complaining from our side contacting the responsible person was bit difficulty, but sufficient at the end, thus no really problem
- Thibault (9/5): A peaceful and really beautiful place to rest - The location is perfect, really close to everything. The apartment is good, nice view, clean, and peaceful. The access to the kitchen and living room is a very appreciated plus.
- Ravi (8/5): Very good -
- Fabienne (8/5): Very good - Nice staff, good location, very clean Small room
- Krzysztof (7/5): Good - Great location - in the very centre, good value for money, easy parking Very poor sound insulation, steep and noisy stairs and small rooms.
- Simon (8/5): Good value convenient accommodation - Perfectly acceptable accommodation and great value. Ideal location for the beach too. Would book again.
- Rachael (9/5): Superb - Very nicely designed house. Has everything you need if you want to cook. There is a little bakery around the corner. Kayaks to use if you wish. Tiago walked us to the accommodation from the Naturalist base and gave us loads of recommendations for things to do in Faial which was extremely helpful and allowed us to get the most from our short stay.
- Kseniia (10/5): Exceptional - new, modern, cozy, good price
- Mafalda (8/5): Very good -
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- Arnulf (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paulo (9/5): Superb -
- Nadav (10/5): The best place to stay on the island ! - Very clean sweet renovated home. Everything we needed was there. The bedroom was small with private bathroom and air conditioning , it met our needs . There is the option to sit outside and the shared space is very inviting . It feels like home . I would definitely come back again ! I totally loved it
- David (8/5): Very good - Location and price hard to beat, kitchen facilities very good. Bed a little hard for us and room a little small.
- Laura (3/5): Poor - Bathtub with rust.
Bathroom very small.
Bed very uncomfortable & hard
- Hannah (7/5): Great location and good common areas but tiny room - Fantastic location! Friendly staff, good level of cleanliness upon arrival. Common areas were cleaned each day. We had room 2 (no balcony) and it was too small for 2 people. You had to edge sideways around the bed and there was no space to put or open your luggage. This room would be much better with a single bed. The bed was very hard. Floors seemed to be swept/hoovered each day but not mopped so it was a little grubby.
- Maisano (8/5): Very good -
- Imke (10/5): lovely place to stay! - so cozy and beautiful house with nice interior
design. it felt like home right away, really enjoyed
the stay there.
- Nihan (10/5): Clean and cute guesthouse 2 min to Porto Pim Beach - The location in Porto Pim is really nice with lots of restaurants around, the beach is 2 min walk. The employees of Naturalist are very kind and helpful. The guesthouse is very clean (not only the room but also nicely decorated common area) We paid more for a room with “balcony and sea view” but if I knew that this was more like box then balcony and sea view only on the side (you need to make an effort to see it, it is not like you are seated on your balcony with a nice view) I wouldn’t pay the difference and just take the simple double room.
- Júlia (8/5): Perfect location - Perfect location. It is next to Porto Pim beach and a short walk from the Horta marina and city centre. It was a bit noisy sometimes.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It was a pleasent stay, close to the ocean, the hotel was clean and friendly staff, i would recommend to all
- David (10/5): My experience at Porto Pim Guest House - My stay was very amazing. The guest house was very quiet, neat with up to date facilities. The price is reasonable and the staffs were very friendly and supportive to visitors. I wish to recommend the guest house to anyone who wants a comfortable stay at Horta
