Ladies bathroom what really claustrophobic and uncomfortable. To use the bathrooms comfortably, it was the best to lock the whole bahroom, not letting anyone else in.

Really nice value for money, even for Algarve. Very friendly staff. Possibility to leave luggage after checkout. Possibility to use common space (kitchen etc) even after checkout. Nice balcony with possibility to dry the clothes. Decent kitchen. Considering it was a hostel, really nice stay!

The bathroom was really dirty all the days we stayed there, there was for example one dirty hand towel (with a very suspicious brown stain) that was there since the day we arrive until the day we left, the floor was also quite disgusting. The bathroom also has a very strange setting, with 2 toilets side by side with no door facing the mirror. Also although there is 2 toilets and 2 showers people kept closing the bathroom by key when they were using it, which was a problem when we were in a rush to use it. Clearly that is an apartment that was adapted into a hostel. Also the window curtain in the double room doesn’t go down so people who have trouble sleeping with light may find it a problem.

The location is great and the guys who did our check in and check out were nice. The room for 2 is decent with comfortable beds. Kitchen is also decent. Password system to access the hostel is efficient, as it is the card system to lock the room’s doors.

The shower is so so tiny, you cannot turn around yourself in the shower. And also there is no shelf to leave anything in the bathroom. The worst thing is that you cannot really close the door at the toilet bowl. There is a whole between two toilets, maybe that can me fixed. Everything else was ok.

The girls at the reception are the best!! Very kind, friendly, they went out with us later when they closed the reception and showed us around. The room was also good and clean.

The ladies bathroom is not exactly roomy but does the job

Simple small hostel but space has been used quite cleverly. Good value, great location.

The Kitchen and eating area.

The women's bathroom is far away from the ladies' dormitory. The bathroom is quite small. The bathroom has two showers and two toilets. The men's bathroom is located near the ladies' rooms. Generally, the hostel is quite quiet and there is no way around seeing you when you exit the bathroom, kitchen, and ladies' hostel rooms.

Tiago was so friendly and welcoming and helpful when advising us about which kayaking tour to go with. The kitchen was clean and had everything we needed, and the room was clean and they had hooks to put your things on! The showers were great as well. I accidentally left my necklace and Tiago posted it back to me which was above and beyond! We had a great time, thank you so much for a lovely stay :)

The place was all in all great, but the bathroom is really tiny, and even though I didn't really mind, I can understand that this could be an issue for some people.

The host, location, and cleanliness were great! The kitchen and living room areas are bigger and more cozy than the rooms, which I think is nice in way that you can meet people more easily.

One minus was that there was no air conditioning in the rooms. Other than that everything was good p

Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Hostel has a good location.

Racing Mackerel is such a nice hostel. It’s perfectly located in the centre but also close to the cliffwalk and the beaches of Lagos. It’s a small hostel with a really friendly vibe. It was so lovely and for sure coming back again

The female bathroom is in the worst location and very very tiny. Bathrooms were smelly. Hostel was full of young people partying every night including the volunteers, was very noisy and hard to get a good nights sleep. No aircon. No seperate common area.

Good location. The kitchen was decent for cooking. Main guy who checked us in was very nice and helpful.

I liked the staff a lot,they were exceptionally nice ,the place was clean enough and it's not far from the most beautiful beaches;)

The floors could have been cleaner. One toilet stall did not close probably. The stalls for both toilets and showers were really small.

The staff was really friendly and helpful. There was a washing machine that you could use for free if you had detergent. Everything else was walking distance from the hostel. The room for girls only was not facing the street and therefore less sound than the other rooms.

Doors are incredibly loud. Loud enough to wake the whole room up Faces onto the street above a busy bar so kinda loud at night

Friendly staff. Everywhere very clean. Comfy beds. Handy lockers under beds. Didn’t use the kitchen but it was big and looked well equipped. Free filter coffee all day which is nice. Free use of the washing machine which is unheard of! Great stay and would happily return.
