We stayed in one of the glamping tents and it was spacious and nicely furnished. It was comfortable as well and it came with it own shower and toilet with a key.
Nothing.

Very relaxing week spent in Porto Santo. Close to a wonderful beach, quiet and empty surroundings great for long walks at the beach. Or reading a book in the hammocks. The sunrise from the tent was magical. You could hear the sound of the waves when you fall asleep and as soon as you wake up. This stay is all you need when you want to take it very slow and treat your body and soul. On top you had all the amenities you need such as a fridge, oven, fully equipped kitchen and ice cube machine. Everything was spotless clean at all times and most importantly the staff was helpful, friendly and more than willing to share stories about the island. 100% recommended!
I liked evening considering I was working some of the days. I rented a bike to get groceries. Be aware that everything is a bit further away such as supermarket and restaurants / beach bars. One lovely restaurant is close by so if you are looking for a remote and quiet place with lots of nature around, you will love this place. For people who look for more action and entertainment within walking distance you might be disappointed. You can rent bikes at the hostel though which I did as well.

The hotel is very clean with a beautiful terrasse with a sea view. The Staff was very nice and the surroundings are like paradise.
Like it or not, the hostel vibe can be slightly more “noisy” than a closed hotel. But it isn’t a negative factor as everyone was respecful and stopped the noise at a decent time.

Everything was perfect. The welcome from Sophia and Nunu was outstanding; the hostel is well cared for in every detail, and the cleanliness is at the highest possible levels. You can rent e-bikes and bicycles, and book excursions. The beds in the dormitory are comfortable and equipped with curtains for a bit of privacy. The value for money is really excellent. The breakfast that you can book is great, very abundant and includes fruit, vegetables, cold cuts, cheese, bread, and sweets, as well as coffee and fruit juice. The island is magical and has a really ancient history. A perfect experience. Thank you, Sophia and Nunu, for everything.

The bed in the dorm is very comfortable, the shared bathrooms were impeccably clean and the kitchen has all the amenities to cook any kind of meal. The staff is very nice and provides great tips and information about island.
The closest bus stop is a 15 minute walk away, the bus is not frequent and runs only until 6 PM.

The hosts were super friendly and are investing in making the glamping a great experience. You get your own bathroom station and lil patio outside.

Ubytování je v perfektní lokalitě na konci ostrova, perfektní pro toho, kdo nechce být ve městě, ale v klidné lokalitě. Je pár kroků na úžasnou písečnou pláž u které je i restaurace.
Mohlo být trochu víc uklizeno. V lednici ve společné kuchyni bylo poměrně málo místa.

Outstanding! Best holiday I have ever had! Very secluded location and this enables me to switch off from the real world for a short time. The hostel itself was amazing and spotlessly clean and staff were very friendly and helpful to attend to your every need. Always happy to help you:-) I would recommend always for visiting and even staying for longer periods when they have special deals on.

Nice dormitory accommodation near Ponta da Calheta, the nicest beach spot on the island of Porto Santo.
Handy to enjoy the beach by yourself once the daily visitors are gone with the late afternoon ferry or early in the morning before they arrive.
We stayed in the 10-bed dormitory and found it ok.
The shared kitchen is well equipped but be prepared to wait if someone else is using it. Also, make sure you bring your own food from town cause there is absolutely nothing around.
Nice garden with sunbeds.
There is a bar/restaurant down the road, close to the beach: the food was very good.
The bus from town stops right in front of the guesthouse entrance!
Breakfast is expensive (10 euro/person) but decent.
Towels are an additional 2.50 euros.

The place is great, kitchen is well equipted, clean and near the beach.
It was very hard to get and get out of the second floor bed, the communication through booking is very difficult, if you have a question, you can get an answer the next day. The hostel is in the end of the main street, 8 km from the ferry, the public transport runs every 1,5h and even every 3h, price of the taxi to get from the city center to the hostel starts from 20 euros.

I absolutely loved my stay at Porto Santo Destination. The place itself was great and my room was bright, spotless and spacious. The place is located right at the end of a beautiful 9km beach and all the facilities in the whole building are superb. There are additional communal toilets and showers, and a big kitchen where you will find anything you may need. On top of that they have a big fridge with drinks that you can buy and also homemade cake which was so delicious. Furthermore, they organise various events during the week such as Portuguese Taps Night, Poncha workshop etc which is an amazing opportunity to bring guests together. I have met so many wonderful people and we have shared some fun time together. Last but not least, the girls who work there - Sofia, Catarina and Tatiana deserve a special shout out as they have made me feel at home and I feel lucky to now be able to call them my friends too! :) Additionally, Nuno is a great and professional host. If I return to Porto Santo, there's no doubt I will be staying there again!

I can highly recommend Porto Santo Destination Hostels. I felt like home during my stay and I met wonderful people there. The double room with sea view and privat balcony was equipped with everything that you need to feel comfortable. The team of the hostel is outstanding. Nuno, the host is super friendly and helpful and supports you with everything you should need. The environment of that part of the beach is very peaceful and quiet. Exactly what I wanted. You can have a walk at that wonderful beach to get to the city center or just rent a bike. A rich breakfast which was very good was provided for 10€. If I will come back to Porto Santo I will definitely stay with you again. Thanks for all your effort and all the best for you and your hostel.

Everything: reception, facilities, comfort, location couldn't be better, away from town and hotels. On the beach and a great bike ride to everywhere. Local bus or beautiful walk for those without transport. Even the other guests were great people!
Nothing.
The bunk beds all had an individual socket for gadgets but as yet no individual light. But it was still early in the season and some jobs still being completed.

Paradise. Calm. Beachview. Easy mountain hikes all around. Perfect if you need to stay away from everything for a couple of days.
Very calm.

Directly by the beach. Friendly staff. Very good Wi-Fi. I arrived 9am but they still let me check in my room. Due to my flight connection I had to stay until the afternoon and could move the check out time to 16:30 because it was low season. Thank you.
Daily cleaning services.
The only thing I regret is that I didn't book sea view
They Lady mentioned my door code during check in when others were in the same room. But still I don't mind. It is safe.
The next supermarket is 20 by bicycle which is far. Plus the rental bike costs double compared to AA Colombo.
This hostel is on the other end and make sure you have a car or bike
