It was great! I had an awesome time there and I ended up staying longer. The dorm was good for the amount of people (4), we had oranges to make juice, bread, jam, butter and cookies every day. The place has a kitchen where you can cook and it’s within a walkable distance from the center. Ana makes you feel welcome and the place was never dirty. Also, the sheets and towels smelled lovely. I would definitely recommend Villa 46!

This hostel was fantastic! It wasn’t a party hostel, had a nice chill vibe and everyone was very friendly, including all of the staff! The hostel was very clean, the staff were often cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen. It was in a great location in the old town, close to everything I needed including a laundromat, fruit shop and the beach. The bottom bunks had a privacy curtain and all beds had a little fan which was great!

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
