Great host, very helpful and friendly. Great location!

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

The owner is an amazing person & great in what he’s doing, best host that both of us have had! Wonderful insights that made our 1 day stay in Faro very nice! Oh, and great rooftop terrace having seats nicely made from what used to be a bathtub. Cool & stylish place!

Kristīne, Latvia

This is a great funky, quirky place, right across from the marina. Jorge the host, is spirited, informative and so welcoming. He hoped my car and guided me to a perfect parking spot. I stayed in a huge room overlooking a fun side street. Wifi was great.

David, United States of America

Perfect location, near the centre and bus station, wonderful terrace on the roof, cozy inside. The comunication with Jorge perfect, he even picked us up at the airport.

Marika, Czech Republic

Friendly staff, very informative, sent loads of information via WhatsApp, lovely rooftop chill out area.

Jason, Ireland

The owner met us at the airport at night and told us about the town.

Ina, Belarus

The host was super nice, he made a late check-in possible and gave us a lot of tips for Faro. Apart from that he helped us to plan the rest of our trip through Portugal. That was so nice we were really thankful! The apartment was super close to everything, clean and comfortable. We had a really nice stay in Faro!

One has to take into account that this is the very centre of Faro, meaning street noise. Yet staying on a Saturday night there, the noise pretty much stopped after midnight. Room for improvement for the choice of breakfast.

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.

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...
