The swimming pool was not cleaned so we couldn't use it and there was no warning about this.

Rodrigo was extremely welcoming and helpful. The location was brilliant, so close to the beach and nice restaurants nearby. The place was in work but has big potential for the future if invested in well.

The smoking/lack of ventilation. Windows did not have bug screens, but mostly the other guests were always smoking cigarettes and that came through all the open windows. There wasn't even a glass pane in the bathroom window. I'm very sensitive to that smoke so it really negatively impacted my stay there.

Location - very short walk to beach, and leisurely walk to town. Chill vibe and friendly staff.

Road to the beach and outside the house is extremely dusty- bring a facemask if you intend to walk to the beach. Gas smell in the room because water heating uses gas from a container. And everytime tap water is open from anywhere in the house, there is noise like a phone vibrating, which you can hear clearly in the room. No shops nearby, we had to take taxi to buy water/milk, neccessities

Close to the beach. The host is nice and people there are helpful

The bedbox was way to small for the matras. Electricity was only able in the room if you keep your room door open. the place itself was a bit outdated.

The location was beautiful and private. The communication with the hostess was good! Very cute and cuddly dog, called rasta. Probably because of its knits. Seems a bit lonely.

It's a hostel so with that in mind you can hear noise in other rooms as sound in the house with the private rooms as well as outside. A bigger issue was no electricity point in our twin room although we did have a lamp for the unusable socket 😅 Lots of mosquitoes made it hard to sleep. Bring mosquito killer especially with no fan or ac. Twin room was small Breakfast is basic and not great. Would recommend bringing your own. Not really any activities Arrival was chaotic with confusion over who we were and hostel is hard to find on residential street

Other guests were great and friendly atmosphere. Staff were friendly and helpful despite language barrier

- Mattress was very thin so not too comfortable - No air con in the room so can get very hot and stuffy

It’s quite a far walk from the town (for groceries and restaurants etc) but there are electric scooters very close by that you can rent (Bolt/Lime etc) and then it’s only like 6min. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable and the toilet didn’t flush very well. Also they have a very sweet dog but it barks quite a lot (and so do the neighbours dogs) so just bring ear plugs.

It’s a short walk to the beach and the pool area is nice. We stayed in the section with private rooms and a shared bathroom and there was a nice kitchen and lounge area for us to use. The room was a decent size and the staff were friendly and helpful and accommodating.

The matras and pillows were bad. The bathroom was outdated. A lot of dogs barking during the night. One of the workers did not act nice, in the morning she was playing music on her radio very loud, disturbing the guests.

The location close to the beaches. The open area (garden) was nice with different spots to sit/relax. The breakfast is really simple but still ok.

The door of my room could not be closed by key, and when I informed the volunteer she didn't seem very interested in finding a solution. The two socklets in the room also did not work, and the temperature in the room was very high, so a fan would be a plus. One of the volunteers was also speaking very loud with one guest for two nights in a row, despite messages hanging tbat it should be silent after 10 pm.

The location as it is quiet but still close to the beach. The chill area outside is really nice, and Janine and Isabel were very pleasant to be around.

My personal cabinet was broken... O had to stay with a bit of warring about my stuff. Bit i met nice people.

Nice place, a little bit spartan... Obviously it's meant to be used by people who goes to surfing and doing other activities.

This review is hidden because it doesn't meet our guidelines.

Our room had window to the receptionist desk - very little privacy, and could hear every noise, it was not easy to get fresh air. Kitchen (in the part we stayed) had little equipment, and was not very clean, also other guests didn't clean after themselves.

Near the beach, nice garden and spaces outside.

The noise at night, people talking and screaming in front of the window at 1 and at 4am. We didn't get much sleep.

Great place, very friendly people and free breakfast. Perfect!

There's no A/C nor a fan in the dorm room, so in June it was super hot during the day and warm at night. The swimming pool is not particularly clean. There's only one shared bathroom. You can only reach the property by taxi if you don't have a car. Unless you want to walk for 35 minutes with your suitcase from Costa da Caparica...

It was very peaceful and relaxing, sort of isolated from the rest of the world and 6 or 7 minutes away on foot from the beach, which was one of the best I've seen around Lisbon.

Only one toilet for all the guests in bungalows.

Very nice and helpful staff!
