This is a hostel that feels like a home. The house is both spacious and cozy and the owner, Lilly, is very friendly and helpful. When I was there it was a bit cold so I was inside most of the time, but I can imagine in summer the poolside area is also a great place to stay. The beds are very comfy and the curtain gives you some privacy. It's not the cheapest hostel around, but it's worth it!

Very spacy, friendy and nice staff, nice pool area, good breakfast

the accommodation is simple amazing, it has amenities of a 4 stars hotel, therefore its the best hostel I’ve been.

probably it’s not the best location if you don’t have a car.

Made me feel like home. I met so many great people, the facilities are incredible it honestly feels like a 5 star resort. breakfast is also great and big variety. The staff is so helpful caring and nice honestly everything is so well thought out and beautiful. if you’re hesitating don’t!! you won’t be disappointed

only the location, it’s far from the city Lagos and it’s kinda tricky with Ubers (not many available) and taxis are expensive. bus takes very long and is not frequent… I would advise you to consider renting a car if u can! also Lily was very kind as to let me join her when she had a ride to Lagos ❤️

Breakfast is perfect! You have exactly what you need to start your day in the best way: freshly cut fruit, yogurt, bread, cheese, some veggies, pastries and even pancakes/waffles. The rooms are spacious, free locker, comfie beds, terrace, lots of space around the building and last, but not least, a magnificent pool.

I think that the room and the bathroom should have been cleaned more often. The amount of hair and dirt was noticeable and not pleasant, especially in the bathroom.

A great place to stay and to meet people. Lily was a great host, she’s always there if you need her. The house is spacious and have everything you need.

The location is the downside of this house. It’s a bit far by walk from restaurant, grocery shop, etc. I would recommend to get a car.

Great breakfast, excellent pool and fabulous hosts

Beautiful little retreat, perfect to relax and explore. I would recommend having a scooter or car to get into Lagos or explore some of the best the Algarve has to offer! All staff were super friendly and great to chat with, the breakfast was delicious.

- beautiful Villa! - lovely staff - amazing breakfast (and dinner) - insanely comfortable - even prettier than on the pictures - will come back for sure :)

Vida Boa Lodge is a fantastic place to stay! The room was pristine and the balcony had beautiful views of the surrounding area (and a wonderful swinging chair!) Breakfast is delicious and varied with many vegetarian and vegan options. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. They were always happy to provide recommendations and information (bus timetables, taxi numbers etc.) to make our stay more enjoyable! They even went above and beyond in providing transfers to and from Lagos. The property is a 25 minute walk from Praia da Luz. Here there is a beautiful beach which offers a range of water sports. There are also many lovely cafes and restaurants. Our personal favourite was ‘Endless Summer’ which serves amazing smoothies and pizzas and is right by the sea! Lagos is also a short bus or taxi journey away. We visited Lagos every evening for dinner and sometimes during the day also! We loved this city! It felt lively and joyful and has a large array of food and activity options. ‘Luca’s Rooftop Restaurant’ served a delicious meal alongside its beautiful ocean views!

There was nothing we did not like about the property. :)

Very comfortable place to be with great staff and amazing breakfast

The place is decorated and finished to an incredibly high standard, its amazing! The staff are all so lovely, helpful and genuine! The breakfast is delicious and plentiful! The swimming pool is great and the bar is huge! Would 100% recommend to anyone to stay here

Ideally you would have a car if you stayed here, its abit of a walk into Luz. It can be a little noisy at night or in the morning but thats the same with anywhere you stay!

The place was so nice! Lily was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was really good :)

This was just paradise! Where should I start…the pool, the great lounge chairs, the new and classy furniture, the great breakfast….oh and of course the super nice and friendly staff who makes you feel at home instantly! It’s just a very luxurious villa which happens to be a hostel! also the other guests were very kind and friendly.

Nothing!

beautifully decorated, comfortable, calm and wonderful breakfast. Very clean!!

The house is really new renovated and my dorm (8 beds) was luxury for a dorm. Everyone have it own space because of the curtains, light and USB-connector. the outdoor area with the big pool is very chilly and comfortable. the breakfast was lovely served and so nice. also the host welcomed me so warm and lovely. I will come back again!!

no points.

A Place to escape daily life for relaxing and also not far from all the beaches on the Algarve. Breakfast was perfect every day

The rooms are spacious and very clean. The hosts are super friendly! Also breakfast is amazing.

I really didn't plan my Portugal trip. But I had one of the best vacations ever. Thanks to the great hospitality provided my Miss Lily and Dave of Vida Boa. The lodge is located in Luz, a few minutes drive from Lagos. It's more than a lodge. It's a place to relax and unwind from the stress of life. You can absolutely spend the whole of the vacation at the lodge. It has various sitting areas and a sizeable swimming pool. But if you'd want to try some adventures Miss Lily is there to provide you with some amazing tips. I enjoyed every moment of my stay and hope to come back soon.

I had the best weekend. Th is hostel was the nicest and cleanest and openest hostel I've ever gone to. The manageress will literally help you with everything and she gives great tips. I'll be back anyway

Nothing!

I had a lovely stay at Vida Boa Lodge, if you get the chance to visit the area I would definitely recommend staying here. The lodge is super homely and comfortable, including an amazing breakfast and brilliant pool area. It is only a short walk from there beach where you can see a wonderful sunrise. Lily is a great host she knows everything you need to know, she also goes out of her way to ensure that all of your needs are met.

Feels like home:) warm welcome by Lucy and her partner. Relaxed atmosphere, high-end guesthouse and everything clean, quiet setting. Breakfast was just right.
