The host is wonderful and very attentive, she keeps the place clean and tidy. To me, this place felt like home away from home. I would stay here again for sure :)

Just 656 feet from the beach, Orange Terrace Hostel features a large roof terrace with an outdoor seating area. The hostel also a shared kitchen and dining area.

Welcoming atmosphere, great outdoor lounge upstairs. Quick walk through the cheesy beachside chaos to the beach! Awesome murals up around the longer term fancy places...enjoyed a morning walk through the art. Even though I am an older hosteler, I felt my needs were met and I enjoyed the company of the young people.

Kind and helpful staff, a good kitchen, AC in the rooms, and comfortable beds. This place is very affordable and good for the price! You’re staying right next to the station which make it easy to take a day trip to Lagos or Faro, and you can take a bus to downtown Albufeira which is only 20 minutes. If you want to get there quicker, Ubers are reliable and cheap :)

Rich & Poor Hostel Albufeira is located on the beachfront in Albufeira, a 4-minute walk from Inatel Beach and 600 yards from Peneco Beach.

The facilities were nice (and we ended up being the only ones in the room). Staff also had some great recommendations for places to eat, and the location was very central to town.

    It was a fantastic apartment for a group of 8 girls. Lots of space for everyone. It was clean and had everything we needed. Great location to new town, it was within walking distance and it was a quick Uber to the old town. Ubers are v.cheap. We would definitely recommend this apartment. The pool was an added bonus and a lovely view from our apartment.

    The hostel is beautiful! Great location (can get a little loud sometimes but still ok), good internet, the kitchen was well equipped and clean and the upstairs area was super nice to chill. I liked that the beds have a lamp and a small shelf to put your stuff on. The staff was very friendly and also their dog is adorable. The hostel has a great atmosphere, 100% recommended :)

    The best hostel ever! I loved it here, so I extended my stay for another 5 days! Cris and all the other staff are so friendly. I felt at home immediately :-) I‘ll definitely come back for sure! Had the best time here! Perfect for people who travel alone and want to meet new people from all ober the world :-) The rooftop is amazing, as well as the food there. All the dorms have AC (much needed during the hot summer months).

    Safe, peaceful, comfortable, great location, and good budget. We did not use air conditioner even once. I liked the room with the balcony since I enjoyed coffee and cookies every morning outdoor. Airport transportation was great and economic. Seemed to me lady dominated family business so power to the women 💪🏽
