    Owner was a bit pushy and it felt like she had to keep repeating that she had good vibes but it felt a bit fake. She was friendly enough though and it was mostly not uncomfortable. At the start of our stay she said that we were more than welcome to leave our luggage and go to the beach to attend the hostel's surfing class on the checkout day. When we checked out and said we were going to the beach, she was very pushy to get us to leave the hostel with our luggage before 12:00 because other people were checking in later. Maybe it was because we weren't paying customers of the surf class. There were worms crawling out of one of the shower's drains. The yoga classes were quite OK but not always worth the 15 euro price. The location was quiet and it was easy to get a good night's sleep there. It is quite far away from most restaurants. It's a 20 minute walk to the beach. There was a slight cult-vibe to the place. Overall, I only recommend this place for people who really appreciate a quiet place.

    This was one of the best travel experiences I've had so far. I was there for 6 days but would gladly have stayed for more. The location and accommodation were beautiful and felt so homey. Laura was an excellent host, very sweet and helpful from the beginning and also her and Tina were awesome yoga instructors, always taking into consideration each persons yoga level, how tired we were etc. The breakfast was great and very nutritious, perfect to have before a surf class. There were many other activities to choose from which is a nice thing to have in case the weather is not good for surfing. Everything was always clean and tidy and Laura was super kind to let me store my luggage at the hostel after my check out and even to hang around the place until I could check in at my other hostel. Would 100% recommend and definitely return for more surfing and fun. Thank you 💜💜

    Laura was the most loveliest host, her yoga classes were amazing and the energy in the house allround outstanding. It’s home away from home! Moreover, one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed! Highly recommend. Thanks Laura (& the others)! 🦋

    This great hostel is a 20min walk away from the Guincho Beach and offers a view on it and on the kites when there is wind. You are welcomed by the entrepreneurial host Laura and you have nice bathrooms and a supermarket around the corner. Everyone is very active in this hostel, mostly with (kite)surfing and yoga!

    I had a really great experience at Guincho Wayra House! Laura was very welcoming and friendly, and I met amazing people. I enjoyed every moment of this trip, it was a magical time! The house is beautiful, has a view on the ocean, and is very clean! There is a bus station right by the house and it's a 20min walk to the beach. I recommend!

    It was my first time in Portugal and I was looking for a cozy place, close to nature and beach. And I couldn't pick a better place to stay! Laura is a wonderful host and always willing to help. During my stay I was surrounded by beautiful people, everyone was friendly, open and easy to talk to. Thanks for this amazing und healing holiday 🙏🌺💜

    There is a beautiful house on the middle of a valley with a path that leads down to the Guincho beach, where people surf and kite. It can acommodate some people but not so much that it feels crowded. The vibe of the house is of peacefulness; guests want to be friendly, tell each other how was their day of surfing or where did they travel to in previous times. Rest your mind and prepare your body for morning yoga; Laura has worked hard so that you have a place, even if only for a few days, where you can let go of everything that sets you off balance.

    Laura makes you feel very welcome from the Moment you enter the door. Since only 12 people can be at this Hostel at any given time, it has a very loving atmosphere and everyone shares their stories and experience. In the evenings often everyone goes out together. If you want a social, loving Hostel, you are absolutely right to stay here!

    Our stay was absolutely perfect, with a wonderful view from each room and balcony, a calm environment, great energy. The house location is the best in town, you can feel the unique Portuguese's authentic neighborhood vibe, with anything you need within reach (a grocery shop across the corner, a restaurant, and a small pub) and at the same time secluded enough, surrounded by nature, to give me the peace I sought. A walking distance from the beach, offering everything I could possibly dream of; yoga classes, hikes, kite surfing, surfing, mountain climbing, and horse riding. There's plenty of parking space if you have a car and a bus station just around the corner so visiting cities around was very easy. House was always clean and felt warm and inviting. I'll be back soon

    Thank you Laura for an amazing stay, we loved it a lot and felt so at home! The Guincho Wayra House is an amazing place to stay and we’d love to come again! We especially enjoyed the yoga lessons in the morning, the fantastic breakfast afterwards (the best reward for early yoga) and the surf lessons, hiking trails and of course the breathtaking view from the house! ❤️

    It is an amazing place to stay, offering a huge variety of outdoor activities as well as great yoga classes with Laura and Tina. Is there a better way to start your day than doing yoga and watching the waves from the terrace?! I stayed for one week and it felt like home. Warm, welcoming atmosphere and wonderful people - hosts as well as the other guests. I had an incredible time at Wayra House! Laura, Yolain you two are amazing, you do a great job! I will definitely stop by again! Looking forward to seeing you again next year!
