Happy Silva Guesthouse

Property was great and all facilities were very well managed and kept in order - clean etc.

Keys were a little stiff to get in property or lock it but worked for the most part

Paula, the hostess, is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Upon check-in, she provides a helpful list of recommended restaurants and activities in the area, which is especially useful if you haven't planned your itinerary in advance. We stayed in a studio, and it was simply amazing. It was exceptionally spacious, with a large bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen area. The kitchen is equipped with all the basic utensils and appliances needed to prepare your own meals. There is also a large supermarket just a 5-minute walk away, making it easy to stock up on groceries and other essentials. Paula is always available via WhatsApp if you need anything during your stay, such as fresh towels or other assistance. We also asked if we could check out later because we had an early morning kayaking activity, and she kindly accommodated our request, which we really appreciated.

We loved everything about our stay. The only minor drawback is that the accommodation is located just outside the city center. Its about 30-min walk by foot (and some of the roads are steep). If you don't have a car, getting around is still easy with Uber. A ride to the center of Lagos usually costs around €5. We always went by Uber to/ from the centre. However, if you plan to visit attractions outside Lagos, such as Portimão, Carvoeiro, or Benagil, Uber fares can be significantly higher, typically around €25–30 each way. These destinations are approximately a 30–40-minute drive from the accommodation, so it's worth factoring transportation costs into your plans. Alternatively, you can go first by train from Lagos to Portimao and get an Uber from there, which will lower the fare to 10-15 EUR, but you would need to check the train schedule in advance as trains are limited.

very clean. Silva was very responsive and helpful.

The room was very clean and we loved the big bathroom! There was some mix up at check so it did take some time until everything was cleared up. But the Host did her best to fix things as fast as possible. We even got to borrow two sun umbrellas from her.

The communication with Paula wasn't really good. She doesn't speak much english so we talked mostly in french. Also had some questions we asked her over whatsapp (she gave us her number at check in) but she didn't reply. Same at the check out, we texted her but didn't get an answer.
