I arrived at the property and felt like I had no choice but to sleep in my car for the night.
Pros:

Leaving

Cons:

The whole place had a stench of mould, cockroaches and silverfish crawling about, mouldy walls and ceilings, The electric sockets looked very unsafe. parking on the street is not possible near the property. and there are a lot of anti-social persons in the area

Okay but lacked attention
Pros:

I liked the location, the room had a small outdoor balcony. The bed was comfortable. I like the price

Cons:

The bathroom was dirty and the bathroom furniture was damaged. The shower wasn't cleaned properly. There was a toilet brush with no cover or container.
The kitchen lacked utensils and the shared terrace by the kitchen floor was dirty. I know this was cheap but it wouldnt cost much to add some of the things that were missing.

Pros:

Ar condicionado, boa localização! Quarto espaçoso e com uma boa limpeza e varanda com estendal para poder secar a roupa!

Cons:

A única coisa é que no quarto 3 o chuveiro quando ganha pressão o suporte não aguenta! Cama um pouco ruidosa! De resto tudo impecavel!

Pros:

We had a wonderful stay! Everything was perfect. The room was spacious, beautiful and very comfortable, with comfortable beds, lovely lighting and a balcony. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, and everything was spotlessly clean.

We also really appreciated the care and attentiveness of the host. Communication through Booking was very friendly and helpful, and we were checked on from time to time to make sure everything was going well and that we were enjoying our stay. We truly felt welcomed and well looked after.

We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Olhao a lovely little town off tourist trail. Ferry to Armona island and beach. Nice restaurants.
Pros:

Location was great. Near a supermarket. Close to restaurants and near the ferry to island beach. Quiet little back street. Air conditioning worked well as top floor was hot. Could sit outside room on balcony

Cons:

Main problem: Could not check in until 4:00 pm. Arrived at 10:30 am. There is no left luggage place in Olhao so either go back to Faro with baggage or go sit somewhere for hours and waste a day. Same problem leaving. Had to be out of the apartment by noon. Went to Faro. Found a luggage place near the station. Was 89 degrees and had a late flight so be aware of that when booking an apartment in Olhao. Was on top floor. People coming and leaving during the night so a lot of door banging using shared bathrooms. My apartment had a bathroom 🙏
Bed had old fashioned springs. Not very comfortable.

Pros:

*Location is good.
*Quiet at night.

Cons:

*Toilet is not the one on photo album.
*Toilet floor flooded after shower.
*Toilet smell mouldy.
*Bathroom vanity wood crumbling
*Matress can feel spring.
*WiFi is very weak and work time to time.
*No Shower gel and shampoo.
*Couldn't find the hair dryer.
*No any season Seasoning event slat.
*Front door is quite hard to open.
*booking.com website shown check out before 12 o'clock but message sent to me 11 o'clock.
Messaged owner couple time, about Toilets condition. WiFi, hair dryer, air-conditioner....,
for a holiday is quite enough...

House needs to maintenance and fix. Also needs to change the locks.
I had difficulty to open front door, and I opened doors for other guests twice..

PEOR IMPOSIBLE. ASQUEROSO. TODO SUCIO.
Pros:

No me gustó nada. Estaba sucio por todos lados. La ducha no tragaba agua y cuando quité el filtro del grifo del lavabo estaba lleno de mierda. El suelo estaba negro y había insectos detrás de la cama y de las mesitas de noche. No te podías duchar porque no tragaba el agua y se venía hacia arriba el agua y se acumulaba y además se venían cosas negras de las tuberías. Imagínate después de todo el día en la playa y no poder ducharte porque en la ducha aparecen cosas negras de las tuberías y el agua no traga. Una asquerosidad. No me esperaba un hotel de lujo pero sin duda este hospedaje no se merece un 7 en booking se merece muchísimo menos.

Cons:

Cuando intento hablar para que me devuelvan el dinero me dicen que tienen contacto de emergencia 24h y que les debería haber escrito para buscar una solución. Eran las 1 AM y llevábamos todo el día en la playa solo queríamos ducharnos y acostarnos. Yo no tengo que escribir a nadie a esas horas para que me venga a cambiar la habitación ni para que me venga a limpiar la habitación. La habitación tiene que estar presentable y preparada para los invitados/visitantes/viajeros. Yo no tengo que escribir ni llamar a nadie. De vergüenza. Además allí no había nadie era un self check in. Las “lámparas” estaban oxidadas y el edredón lo dejaron deshecho en el armario. Los muebles tenían polvo y había suciedad por todos lados. La mampara de la ducha estaba rota o sea TODO mal. No me devuelven el dinero después de esta mala experiencia. Cogimos el coche y nos fuimos. No fuimos capaces de quedarnos a dormir.

A estadia correu bem, as camas muito boas e o quarto limpo e o alojamento muito bem localizado
Pros:

Funcinou bem e ficamos satisfeitos

Cons:

Não gostei da porta do armário da cozinha que quase me caiu em cima por estar desencaixada, assim como a dificuldade de abrir a porta de entrada.
A varanda da cozinha deveria estar mais limpa e cuidada.

Nice property but it has been clearly neglected.
Pros:

Location was excellent. Rooms were large

Cons:

Sorry but the pics dont match the reality. The property is nice but it has been clearly neglected.
That was the first property where the toilet didnt have soap. The property had signs to change the bin bags, but not bags were available.
Cleaning was just passable, with dust and dirty behind doors and in the toilet.
The main WC was unbearable. The smell of dump was terrible. The cupboard door was literally collapsing and leaving pieces. We just avoided this toilet at all.

Sehr gute Lage, aber für diesen Preis etwas Besseres erwartet
Pros:

Die Lage und Parkmöglichkeiten (auch wenn man etwas suchen musste). Die große Küche hat mir gefallen, sowie der große Kühl - und Tiefkühlschrank. Der Balkon war ebenfalls sehr schön. Ich würde eventuell wiederkommen, aber nicht für diesen Preis.

Cons:

Das Licht im Zimmer - insbesondere im Ankleidezimmer, war viel zu dunkel. Verrosteter Lampenschirm im Bad, Das Wasser in der Dusche lief nicht ab. Kaputte Fußleiste, verrosteter Wäscheständer. Bei den Matratzen hat man die Sprungfedern gespürt. Eine andere Matratze stand auf Nachfrage leider nicht zur Verfügung. Das Zimmer und auch die Küche hatten keinen Esstisch. Viele Dinge (Topf, Geschirr) in der Küche waren klebrig. Es fehlten geeignete Schüsseln oder tiefere Teller für die Mikrowelle. Es gab kein kleines Messer (Äpfel mussten mit einem Brot/Fleischmesser geschnitten werden). Topfdeckel fehlten. Eine Waschmaschine war vorhanden, jedoch war der Schlauch kaputt, so dass das Wasser herausspritzte (kein Hinweisschild, dass die Maschine nicht nutzbar ist). Eine sichere Maßnahme, aber doch etwas nervig: man muss 3 Zahlenschlösser öffnen, bevor man im Zimmer ist.
