“Our Stay at the Hostel”

Fatima was really nice and we felt very welcomed. Also The dorms only for females was good to feel comfortable. The Cafe under the Hostel was nice as well and that we could leave our luggage there after the checkout.

“Bring earplugs if you are gonna stay”

Staff were nice

“Ok”

Super good location close the main town and the cafe had delicious food

“Horrible”

The rooms were empty but they didn’t let me stay with my friends, we didn’t have where to charge our phones next to the bed, only one fan and no AC, for me the desposit was a bit too much, I ve never spent 120 euros as a deposit on a hostel let along a bad one like this, they told us they offer no breakfast but they did and Fatima was so rude to us and unwelcoming, she gave us a long list of things that would make us lose our deposit and she would literally walk into rooms to check what’s going on, I ve never seen that before

“Very happy with the room. Comfortable bunk beds. Location great. Host very nice!”

“Good value for money very quiet area and safe”

Very good location friendly atmosfere all very good

Staff is friendly, nice (but noisy) location.

“Fantastic staff, location and value for money!”

First and foremost, a good business has good stuff and an exceptional business has exceptional staff! This hostel is the latter and it's run by a very nice and pleasant lady, Fatima!. I first read the reviews before booking this hostel and I was blown away with the amount of positive reviews about Fatima and the Rich and Poor hostel so I knew this was the place I was going to book for a cheap holiday. The rooms were very clean and so was the kitchen and stairs leading to the rooms, thanks to the cleaning staff who also made sure there was new toilet rolls. I just don't have a bad word to say about this place and would highly recommend for anyone looking to stay in albuferia.

“Thank you to Fatima and the team for providing such an uplifting, friendly and relaxing introduction for me to Portugal,”

The warm welcome from Fatima, the first floor siting above a cafe, the size of the room, the natural light in the room and the kitchen
