Azores Youth Hostels - Pico ★★

"Sometimes the staff were very kind and helpful, and other times they were rigid and rude. There is no kitchenette or refrigerator for guests' convenience. The dormitories are very small and the beds are noisy. Of the six beds, the two in the middle have no power outlet or light. No towels or soap are provided. The bathrooms are far from the dormitories. The toilets were running, and there was always water on the floor. It was slippery! There is no air conditioning, no fan, and the lockers don't have locks. You have to bring your own padlock. On a positive note, it was clean, and the architecture of this old building is beautiful."

Pico Dreams ★★★

"THis is a holiday complex in the village of Sao Roque on the island of Pico. My room was OK with an en suite and with shared kitchen facilities and a dining area just along the corridor. There is an outdoor pool but no 24-hour reception. I would not recommen attempting to stay here without car as the public transport is virtually non-exostent and there is little to do in the village itself."

Sara Village ★★★

"The room was very clean and a good size. Everything seemed new. The bed was very comfortable. There is also an outside seating area with a beautiful view. Our reception was friendly. The only thing I didn't like was that we could hear our nextdoor neighbours using the bathroom and shower."

Aldeia Das Adegas ★★★★

"Awesome gem in Sao Roque, like a little village with separate houses. Very clean, beds are very comfortable, has all the the amenities you can thing of. Super friendly, extremely helpful staff. Outstanding, delicious breakfast delivered to your doorstep."

Adegas do Pico ★★★★

"My family and I stayed at Adegas do Porto for two nights this August, and were excited about the chance to stay at such a charming, authentic home in the heart of Pico. The house had the basics and necessities needed for our stay, and the staff were readily available by phone or email. A welcome basket of local bread, jam, coffee and tea was prepared and set out on the table for our arrival. This, however, was the extent of the positive experiences we had at Adegas do Porto. Soon after arriving, we began to notice bugs covering the walls of the bedrooms downstairs. One room, had over 10 spiders on the ceiling, and the other had multiple house centipedes running across the walls, into the floor, and even onto the bed. We also noticed that the en-suite bathroom toilet appeared to be leaking. When wiping up some of the water, we were shocked to find a lizard in the trash bin. The lizards were also in the walls of the kitchen, and a bat flew into the outside stone of the house while we were on the patio. The final issue before reaching out to the host was the fact that none of the outlets in the bedrooms were working... An email was sent to inform the host of these issues, to which the response was: "Thank you so much for your email and information! It was a pleasure to welcome you and we look forward to your next visit 😊 Have a nice evening." We do understand that this is an authentic lava home within the wild nature of the Azores, however, did not appreciate the toilet paper stuffed between the bottom edges of the wall and the floorboards, signaling that the host was well-aware of the issue prior to us reaching out. Suffice it to say, we did not sleep well during the two nights we spent here."

A Casa do Ouvidor ★★★★

"The accommodation was even more beautiful than on the photos. Nicely equipped, clean house, with a pool and a stunning view! The host was very helpful and kind. The perfect place for a quiet holiday on the Azores - only a walk away from the natural pool by the sea."

Areias da Prainha ★★★★
