  Worst stay

  This is a formal and serious complaint regarding extremely poor hygiene conditions and significant safety hazards experienced during my stay at HI Tavira – Pousada de Juventude, specifically in Room 114. The conditions observed were unacceptable, unsafe, and far below any reasonable accommodation standards.Walls and flooring were visibly dirty, indicating a complete lack of proper cleaning standards.Noticeable cracks in the walls, raising serious concerns about structural safety and maintenance.Bathroom was in an unhygienic condition, with visible mould on the walls posing a health risk.Washroom cleanliness was far below acceptable standards for any accommodation.Towel frame was poorly repaired with exposed, improper screws, creating sharp edges that caused hand injury.Uncovered electrical sockets presented a significant and dangerous safety hazard.Towels provided were discoloured, yellowish, and appeared unclean and unhygienic.Air-conditioning was not working during a hot night, making the room uncomfortable and unsafe for rest.Overall environment reflected a serious disregard for hygiene, sanitation, and guest safety standards.Immediate and thorough maintenance, deep cleaning, and strict adherence to health and safety regulations are critically required.In conclusion, the condition of this property represents a clear failure to meet even the most basic hygiene and safety obligations. Urgent corrective action is essential, as the current state of the accommodation is wholly unsuitable and poses potential risks to guests.

  Tavira Youth Hostel

  So. I’m a 57 yo Brit and I wanted a cheap holiday…this is where I ended up. I’m willing to try anything. I was allocated to stay in a dorm of 4 women…no idea if somehow it was instigated but I ended up sharing a room with 2 young Brits which made it do much easier. It was fabulous, the breakfast that’s included is all you need….bread, cheese, ham, tomato and cucumber. Muesli, juice, coffee and yoghurt. The place is incredibly clean. When I arrived at my ‘dorm’ there was a bathroom allocated to it. Basically, there are two dorms and one bathroom that the two dorms share. There were two showers and two toilets that had to be shared between 8 people. This really wasn’t an issue. I was up at 7.30 am. No one else was in there. I showered in peace. The showers however, are a challenge! There’s a button that you push to turn the shower on…it lasts about 5 seconds. Literally! You have to keep pushing it and the water, as it comes out, initially, is freezing! I stood as far away from it as possible while I was pushing the button until it warmed up!! Is it somewhere I’d stay again? Probably not, but that is absolutely nothing to do with the hostel, that’s simply because I’ve covered everything in the area that I wanted to cover.

  Booked a private room for our family with a shared bathroom. No one else was ever in the bathroom when we were. AC worked very well in our room. Bunk beds felt old and not super comfortable and crinkled. Breakfast was decent. Great location and we found free street parking. There was no elevator. Staff was friendly and gave us towels as none were provided.

  This hostel exceeded all expecations in every way.First of all Tavira is a beautiful picturesque place with plenty to keep the whole family occupied.The hostel is located in a quiet shady street,tucked away yet near to shops and restaurants.It's cool interior with such tasteful decor is a joy to return to after a busy day out.The staff are warm and caring,a mine of information,I actually felt sad to leave friends behind.I can't recommend it enough.
