Very Poor

  : The hostal was filthy...in bad repair...the electrical sockets were broken with exposed wiring...there were holes in the walls...and the bathrooms were filthy with broken tiling...it was so bad had i any other option i would have left but it was too late in the day getting there after a long days hiking...would not recomend on any level.

  : If you are looking for a fancy forgettable hotel you will be disapointed. The hotel was quite wet and old. But the atmospere is outstanding, the hostel is right on the beach and it’s somehow romantic, as if you spent your holiday in the last century. The owner is super nice, he obviously runs the hostel on his own, so he prepares breakfast, does the ironing and cleaning and so on. And he always keeps smiling and spreads the good mood to his guests. So it’s not the cleanest and the most comfortable place in the world but it’s definitely worth it to go there, I can guarantee you will never forget this beautiful place.

  : Right on the beach. I was the only guest walking the camino off season. It's right on the camino route!!! I had my own private beach. Amazing
  : Bathroom small but I can forgive this as I went to sleep listening to the waves of the Atlantic ocean

  : This is a beach house. Right on the ocean. As such, it gets cold and damp at night, so expect that in the autumn and winter. Extra blankets were provided. Views were exceptional. The ocean was angry the day I was there and I got some great photos. Stop in A Guarda for food before you get there. There isn't much around.

  : We got our money back. That was the only good thing.
  : This hostel is big joke. 1.host was sleeping when we arrived.2.hostel is so dirty that beach is more clean than room. When you go inside the little dog is on sofa and it is not so frendly,it was showing theet at us (and we really like dogs). The carpet was for garbage. It is so dirty and full of dust.3.bathroom is very dirty, full of hair, poop stains in toilet, sink was full of hairs, mold was on tiles, the bath tub was disgusting.4.the smell.omg. no, no and big no. It need to be clean from bottom to top.5.beds. that was the worst. And beddings. The blankets were burned and full of yellow stains. The bedding was not clean. Bed bugs. There are also bed bugs. Big no.6.the host was sleeping and snoring with apnea (we thougt that he had stroke O.o). We didn't make to wake him up at first so we have to yell. 2 times. Out loud. He was drunk. 7.we were there like 15 minutes and than we left.This is not hostel for people who wants to have clean rooms and bathrooms.
