Machim D Arfet House by Homie

A very cozy hostel with a beautiful and stylish interior. The atmosphere is lovely, and everything feels well thought out for a comfortable stay.

The only thing I found missing was enough space to dry clothes. Madeira is quite humid, so clothes take a long time to dry, and having a proper drying area or an extra place to hang things would be really helpful. The room is also a little small, but if you’re mainly there to explore Madeira during the day, it’s absolutely fine.

Clean and comfortable room. Beach is nearby.

Location and standards

Room were a little bit small but for two people you don’t need more

Good location, with many restaurants nearby. Close to the airport. The host response fast on the app, but anyway our complains were not solved. The bad was clean and we appreciated it.

The room is very small indeed. There was no kitchenette available even if we book the room especially for this option that was shown in our room type. The room was cold, and the AC was not working for hot as it is connected to others that were using it on cold, so we were almost freezing in the room. The solution from their side was to give me an additional blanket.. so if you are wet or anything, put a blanket on you 🫡. The bathroom is extremely small, with a persistent smell of mold. There is no mirror in the room except for the bathroom, and also no place where to let your staffs. A little bit expensive for what it offers, cheap quality of the furniture and no free parking available. During the whole stay our towels were changed only once (for 7 days stay) and no shower gel was replaced, only 2 small bottles in the beginning.
