ハカ(Jaca Hostel Porto da Cruz)

Going to this hostel feels like a homecoming after leaving home for holidays. The first thing you'll notice upon arrival is that you have to take your shoes off when you go inside. After that you'll either be welcomed by someone of the staff or other guests, who most likely are there for the same as you will be: adventure, hikes around the region, chilling at night. Jaca organizes various events such as Burger Mondays and Pizza Fridays which is attended by more than just the hostel guests, and has contacts for surf lessons, paragliding and more. For me it was an instant match with both staff and guests, everyone just wants to have fun and make the best possible experience together during the stay. I have no doubts where to stay when I go back to Madeira, which is just a matter of if, but when.

If you’re looking to meet great people and stay in a super welcoming environment, book here!!! We absolutely loved it. Met lots of great people, spent lots of time hanging out in the courtyard of the hostel and the 1 min walk to the beach and to Pipa (great restaurant) were highlights for sure :)

This place is beyond our expectations! The staff is so friendly that you instantly feel like you are staying with your family. The common area is great place to meet people and bond with the staff. In close location you can find two beach wherever you can surf. The room itself is very clean and cosy. Make sure you try their pizza! The kitchen chef is amazing

Le personnel est très accueillant!!!!!!!! L'ambiance est chaleureuse, vous croiserez beaucoup de randonneurs! La cuisine est toute équipée pour se faire à manger !!!!!! C'est au centre de tout. Je recommande l'endroit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super accueil et super ambiance au sein de l’établissement. Staff souriant et serviable. En revanche la chambre double privée que nous avons réservé ne vaut pas le prix. Très bruyant (aucune insonorisation, nous entendions les autres clients parler au rez de chaussée et dans la cour), aucun équipement de base (comme une lampe de chevet par exemple), une douche qui fuit. Comparé à d’autres établissements fréquentés au même prix pendant notre séjour cette chambre fut une réelle déception. Je ne recommande pas cet établissement surtout si vous marchez toute la journée et je vous voulez dormir tôt le soir.

lugar increivel, staff 10 estrellas y mucha vibe. Me quede primero en Porto Da Cruz, donde conoci a muchas personas con las que hice caminatas, cenas y dias de playa, viajaba sola. Despues, visite Funchal, con muy buena localizacion, limpio y lindo. Super reocmendado!

방은 지내기 좋았지만 방음이 전혀 안 되고 밤에 화장실에서 큰 벌레를 봤어요..
