The hostel is very well located, in the centre of the old town. It is very clean and the staff is very informative and helpful. Couldn't ask for more, as a hostel.

The place was great. Ana was such a good host, and answered all my questions. We had a private room, which was very comfy. The whole house was very cute, well set up with everything you need. The pool was an awesome bonus to have. Enjoyed our time there. Had to work a bit in the mornings as well, and had no problem with the wifi or the setup. We really enjoyed our time there.

Best location. It's easy and safe to go back to the hostel even at night. And the garden with big trees and plants are amazing. The staff are amiable. Although kitchen area is a bit small but not a big deal because it has all the utensils you need. Bathrooms and toilets are in the every corner so you don't feel any inconvenient.

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
