Amazing hostel, one of the best I've ever satyed in. Superb location, helpful staff, nice doorm-mates. I couldn't have had a better start of my Fisherman's Trail experience .) I ended up staying for one extra day, that's how much I liked it. + curtains around each bed + shelf and socket next to the bed + nice common area, fridge to store your food + enough of bathrooms, hot water in showers There's tons to do and see around Lagos. Try HooRoo cafe for a nice cup of coffee (finally not those over-roasted Italian style beans, yay) and some nice art .))

The short stay in the Buddha Bee hostel was completely great! The owners, Hugo and Melissa, are very welcoming and helpful. They were letting me keep my stuff during the day though check out was already due and even drove me to the train station in the evening for free!:) About the accommodation, the rooms are clean and tidy, the kitchen area has a lot of utilities to use for cooking and the whole hostel atmosphere is cosy and welcoming. Thanks for the amazing stay! Looking forward to to come again!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Perfect location for exploring Lagos. 6-bed female dormitory was stunning. Shared areas are also very nice. Facilities are clean & well maintained. Atmosphere is laid-back but still friendly & easy to meet people. Staff are welcoming & very helpful! Easily the best hostel I stayed at in all of Portugal
