Tomasz, Poland

It was my first time staying in a hostel and I couldn't wish for a better experience. Thanks to Jorge's tremendous hospitality I felt at home straight away. I stayed there in April, a quiet month tourism-wise, and I had a whole room just for myself, my bed was very comfortable and the bedding was clean, fresh and ironed. Also Jorge just made my stay and saved lot's of my time by giving me all the information I needed about local activities and best places to visit, and offered to book most of those activities for me. I will definitely come back to this hostel (if it's still managed by Jorge :)))!

Yulia, United Kingdom

Very friendly host. Perfect location, close to everything you would want to visit in Faro. Big rooms, comfortable beds. Great Value

Peter, Germany

bit of a different style to normal hostels.this is more like a big old house and you stay in a big room with good comfortable single beds with proper pillows.nice roof terrace to sit with the new friends you will make here!owner is welcoming and friendly and is knowledgable about the local area.he kindly gave me some books for walking and cycling routes along algarve.

Pearsonian, United Kingdom

I have to explain my partial rating: as there was a heavy rain before my arrival, my room at Faroway Hostel was wet and not usable. But the owner was very supportive and arranged a comparable room nearby. He was very friendly and helpful, gave me many advices about the city, where to go and where to eat etc.

V-tek, Czech Republic

Lukas, Czech Republic

Everything! Jorge was really helpful and kind showing us some spots to visit and activities to do all over our road trip in Algarve. The rooftop is speechless, you can enjoy of the city views and chill. Rooms are simple but comfortable and big. The location is really good, close to the sea, shops...

Eva, Spain

brill location, comfy, clean , good nights sleep. was a bit worried about a hostile as all 4 of us in our 50s , thought would have been full of noisy young ones , quite the opposite everyone was friendly and respectful .

Trevor, United Kingdom

The hostel is perfectly located near to the marina, the old town, arch and the bus station

Lynsey, United Kingdom

Truly exceptional host! Most friendly, helpful, enjoyable person ever met at a hostel. The facilities are all basic though very good,, but the host alone is reason enough to book this place! Could also keep the key untul I warned to pick up my bag and was very helpful after my stay to collect some of the things I left behind at the hostel.
