The beds were a bit stiff...
Этот хостел великолепен всем. Классное местоположени, близко к океану, лагуне и центру Алвора. Очень чистый и аккуратрый, персонал замечательный, на территории есть бассеин, ресторанчики, прекрасная кебабная, маленький магазинчик. Номер мне очень понравился, были все удобства, чисто, светло, кондиционер, просторная комната.
Everything was great, really clean, airy and quiet. Would recommend.

Atendimento péssimo
Estava tudo muito limpo, tem ar condicionado que é top, duche incrível que tem um bom chuveiro com potência. Gostamos de tudo, funcionários simpáticos e as condições do hotel super boas, tem estacionamento privativo mas na rua também tem sempre vagas. A localização também é ótima dá para fazer tudo a pé.
Para mim só o que podia mehorar é o blackout da janela porque deixa passar alguma luz.
The facilities were second to none. The accommodation is spotless. The staff very attentive and helpful.

A limpeza
Para subir para o andar de cima do beliche era muito difícil ! Não tinha propriamente escadas
We had a lovely stay at Dunas. The room was clean and the large pool was a great bonus, especially after a day out exploring Alvor. The location was perfect, with everything within easy walking distance and the town and beach close by. It was a lovely place to relax and we would definitely stay here again. ❤️
Nothing really, we had a lovely stay and everything we needed was there.
Beds are a bit uncomfortable! Other than that everything was 10/10
Gostei das instalações, localização, limpeza, funcionários.
Acho que o hostel devia fazer dormitórios separados (feminino e masculino) e talvez encostar as beliches à parede, pois elas abanam muito quando a outra pessoa que está em cima se deita.
Localização ótima, funcionários simpáticos, os beliches são confortáveis, tem casa de banho interior para o quarto feminino com 4 beliches, o que é ótimo.
O facto de ter ficado no beliche de cima. Não tem tipo uma escada como nos outros locais do género onde já fiquei. Torna-se muito desconfortável ao subir
Localização excelente proximo de tudo, piscina praias restaurantes cafés mercado, que são incríveis os sabores da comida. Inclusive tem uma esplanada do Tesouros lá com excelente atendimento do jovem rapaz, um achado que mesmo um pouco longe da praia da rocha chama se um carro de aplicativo e em minutos está lá, mas tem praias próximas. A tranquilidade do lugar em relação preço qualidade me rendeu muito mais vontade de ficar por ali do que a ultima vez que fui em Portimão. Ps voltaria muito mais vezes 🫶🏻❤️. Há e o hostel oferece uma sala ampla com tv e uma cozinha bem equipada caso queira economizar na estadia 😎
Não me afetou, mas um único ponto menos bom é o acesso a boliche de cima, que é um bocado mais difícil.
Great hostel modern, good facilities staff great. Area beach’s beautiful.
All good !
La piscina
No se podía abrir las ventanas, ni tenían persianas por lo que no se podía dormir con el sol. Las camas y almohadas muy incómodas.
Perfect location, walking distance to everything in Alvor, clean, quiet and fabulous pool.
Nothing, all good
The staff are nice. The kitchen facilitys. the complex is very well looked after beds hygiene Very helpful and kind staff. Very impressed my first time in a hostel.
I had to be moved from my dormitory bedroom the next morning due to male in the room snoring so loud.
La cocina es muy amplia y limpia
Estuve en una habitación compartida y encuentro que los baños deberían limpiarse más seguido. Además la habitación muy básico, no había ninguna silla, perchero, mesa, nada más que las camas
Da localização. A facilidade em estacionar. As condições da sala de refeições são excelentes. As pessoas muito simpáticas.
Não tenho absolutamente nada a apontar. Acho apenas que as camas de cima, os beliches, deveriam ser de mais fácil acesso.
Fabulous hostel in every way. Brilliant pool, well equipped shared kitchen. Location is brilliant for the beach and the restaurants and old town.
Everything was fab
Muito bom excelente. Excelente relação qualidade preço
L'emplacement parfait proche des plages, du centre ville, un personnel à l'écoute. Cuisine commune très pratique et propre. Parking et places dans la rue. Chambre spacieuse et lumineuse.
La chambre était trop près des espaces communs (hall et cuisine) donc un peu bruyante. Il manque un meuble ou des étagères dans la salle de bains pour poser des affaires. Une seule chaise dans la chambre, fenêtre opaque qui ne s'ouvre pas !
Cuisine et salon spacieux et agréable, propreté, proximité plage, nettoyage tous les jours, piscine disponible.
Rien.
El alojamiento completo.
El lugar
The location, very close to the bch, beautifull pool, beauty saloon right there, parking.
The shower door didnt close completly and we aways had a wet floor.
Hostel perfeito tudo limpinho e confortável
Limpieza, cómodo, fácil aparcamiento y gratis. Cerca de supermercados al lado de una cafetería con muy buena carta. Tienen una gran cocina sala para ver la televisión sentarse o echar el rato, acceso a la piscina y andando a la playa a unos pocos minutos. Cama cómoda incluso me dieron una almohada más baño súper limpio y bastante nuevo. Aire acondicionado funcionaba correctamente incluso a pesar de algunos comentarios si se puede regular potencia temperatura y el movimiento. Recomendable al 100%.
Came back here for a 2nd time. This hostel is not too busy and meets all requirements. They have a good lounge area, well stocked kitchen, and provides towels. The cleaning staff also cleaned the room and bathroom every day. Wifi was relatively good during the stay, with just some dead areas or lost connections. There's also lots of free parking for those driving.
The AC in the room was not functioning correctly. It only had 1 setting: cold. This meant that at night, it needed to be turned off and turned on again during the day.
Très bon service, on a eu accès à notre chambre plusieurs heures d’avances
Super proper! Ook toegang tot het zwembad.
Uśmiechnięta pani na recepcji
La ubcacion, la limpieza, la atencion y la piscina, de 10
Le hace falta un armario a la habitacion, y podrt abrir las ventanas para ventilarla
Lit me faisait mal au dos
Świetna lokalizacja i wygodny pokój. Pokoje są na parterze, więc trzeba się liczyć z tym, że nie zawsze będzie cicho, ale nam to nie przeszkadzało. Kuchnia bardzo dobrze zaopatrzona w naczynia i sprzęty. Można korzystać z basenu, który jest duży do głębokości 2,3m. Ogólnie polecamy ten obiekt, ponieważ czuliśmy się tam komfortowo.
W naszym pokoju przez 10 dni sprzątane było dokładnie 2 razy. Dodatkowo sprzątanie kuchni w godzinach porannych tj. podczas śniadania pozostawię bez komentarza.
Einrichtung - Viel Platz - sehr gute Betten
A great place to stay. Very clean. Really quiet.

Nothing Everything was excellent
Great value hostel. More like a hotel. Clean rooms, great kitchen, and awesome swimming pool that you can use.
Não gostei de nada e ainda apresentei queixa
De tudo mesmo especialmente o atendimento
Great place to stay
The location is great, the room is clean.
I lived in a room for 12 people, the bathroom had two toilets, two showers and one washbasin. I think there is one washbasin for a room with 12 people. It's a bit small, there were no hooks for clothes in the showers.
Close to the town and spotless
The gentleman chatting outside my window at 6:30am
They had a communal espresso machine, super clean and well kept facilities. Free access to pool.
Nothing to note.
Superbe piscine
Matelas un peu dure
Fin ce vendredi 22.05.26 de mon 4ème séjour en 2 ans dans cette fantastique hostel, et ce malgré la présence inhabituelle d’un groupe de 30 pré-adolescents bruyants. Personnel administratif & technique fort aimable, agréables dortoirs de 4 lits avec blocs sanitaires intégrés, grande cuisine / salle à manger, grand salon-bibliothèque, superbe grande piscine avec matelas & parasols (supplément de 4 € / jour), grand choix de bars-snacks-restaurants autour des 2 grands parvis extérieurs, commerces à proximité, village balnéaire d’Alvor à proximité, magnifiques plages de sable fin à proximité, nombreuses marches / randonnées à proximité,… Après 2 jours passés avec des amis dans un village voisin, je serai déjà de retour dimanche pour un 5ème séjour d’1 semaine minimum. 😎 Je recommande évidemment cette hostel & lui attribue une note méritée de 5/5.
Rien.
The place was spotless, the staff were friendly and helpful and the kitchen and dinning area had everything you would need to cook and prepare meals. They have a water cooler with cold water to refill. The location is great as it's near a lot of restaurants, bakeries and the Intermache supermarket as well as being a short walk into town and the beach.
We had to pay for sun loungers at the pool. E4 per day per lounger. So we opted to sit on the grass instead. Halfway through our stay (we were there for 8 nights) a group of 40 teenage students arrived at 01h30 in the morning. They were very noisy until late every night. They also took over all the communal areas which meant we had to try and plan around their meal times to get a space in the kitchen/dinning area. I felt the property could've let the existing guests know what to expect and what the groups schedule was in order to be prepared and plan better.
Wszystko zgodne z opisem, pokoje czyste i zadbane, wspólna kuchnia często sprzątana czysta i w pełni wyposażona.
Jedyny niewielki minus to okna przez które nie widać co dzieje się na zewnątrz, ale zakładam że chodziło o zapewnienie komfortu i prywatności.

Very clean. Complimentary use of outdoor pool avail for those in dorm room. Free bath towel and pool towel. Great staff. Very kind and assisted me with multiple questions , that I had. Walk short distance to beautiful beach.
Sometimes no coverage at front desk. Didn't know that other office was connected and part of same company. Mattress in room 5 lower bunk was hard.
Nice property , clean , friendly helpful staff
The only thing I didn’t like was that there was no ladder to get up to my top bunk and it was quite different to get up n down
Um dos melhores hostels que já estive, limpeza impecável, cama confortável, pessoas simpáticas, cozinha completa e a piscina fantástica que é a cereja no topo do bolo!
Nada demais apenas um apontamento, falta algo para pendurar a roupa nos chuveiros
The location was really good, 5 mins to beach.. lots of resturants around. Pool is accessible complimentary.
Ótima localização, instalações muito boas, limpeza excelente e a recepção da Sandra é excelente. Próximo do centro, fácil de ir a pé. Tive uma excelente experiência. Super recomendo
The whole cleanliness/ and staff experience . The swimming g pool is added bonus . .
Not one thing.
Overall, I liked everything.
There were no hooks in the shower to hang clothes or towels. In my opinion, one washbasin per room for 12 people is not enough.
One of the best hostels I have ever stayed! Clean and well organized, nice beds! Bars, shops and restaurants around! Recommendation's!
Un hostel, con una cocina/comedor muy amplia y con buenos electrodomésticos. 2 neveras. Personal de limpieza, todos los días. Una piscina, increíblemente grande y limpia. Salón de lectura y tv.Muy buen ambiente. A 10 minutos de la playa, andando.
Tal vez, los cuartos de aseo con un sólo lavamanos.
The swimming pool is fab
The guy working in the pool area is not very welcoming to people staying in Hostel but I did get to swim
Muy buenas instalaciones, piscina muy grande y super limpia. Habitación amplia, cama cómoda. Cocina estupenda. Cerca de la playa.
Tal vez, el baño.... Un poco incómodo.
The whole team at Dunas hostel are very accommodating ! The staff at reception to the cleaner, who I must say is very friendly and for a great job.
Not one thing .
The place was very comfortable well organized and extremely clean I would like to thank all the staff for being incredibly friendly and welcoming A special thanks to Sandra at the reception she was very helpful and highly professional in her attitude Overall I had a great experience and I would definitely come back again at the first opportunity
nothing
How spotlessly clean it was
Nothing to dislike at all
Clean, modern, very friendly staff
beaviour of some guest, e. g. come home to the shared room after midnight and waking me up.
Excellent staff, so clean! Amazing guests, made friends and loved the atmosphere!
Not really anything. Maybe a small oven might be nice, but was fine without.
La ubicación cerca de la playa , los trabajadores son encantadores , llegué antes de checkin, como estaba hecha la habitación pude entrar ya , el sitio está genial , con piscina , cocina e instalaciones amplias, me quedé más tiempo de lo q pensaba , muy recomendable
The quality of the building and facilities is very good Staff is helpfull
The beds are uncomfortable because: The matras is hard The blanket is very thin
Room was bright and spotlessly clean. Bathroom was large and clean.
Bed was really hard and window in our room was frosted so we could not see out.
Very nice
