Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Recently my family and I stayed at the the Peniche surf lodge, and being one of the younger surfers the instructors (Dane and Duncan) really helped by pushing us onto waves and improving our pop ups. The accommodation was great and I liked the sense of community since we shared kitchen space. The family room in lodge 2 was perfect, and the beds were very comfy! On the beach it was nice to relax in the sun after surfing and it was lovely surprise and a great addition to the day when Claire brings tea down and some lovely biscuits to the beach as well. They also helped by giving us places to go for tea and I hope I’ll be able to go back next year. I really recommend you go and visit the surf lodge for a great holiday. Evelynne (12)

Had such a wonderful time, surpassed all my expectations. The camp is organized by a lovely family with very big hearts for surf and hospitality. They welcome you with lots of warmth and make sure you have such a wonderful time. The camp is the perfect experience for solo travelers or small groups that are passionate to learn or improve on surfing and love to meet friendly people from all around the world. The lodge starts feeling like home very fast with all the travelers sharing similar passion and with the hosts being so warm and welcoming. The surf teachers are really experienced and good surfers that are very good at teaching you to surf and helping you progress so much in just a week. They are really good at seeing what you need to progress. They are very encouraging, help you have the most fun in the water, and create such an enjoyable environment with their humor, support, and positive energy. You can really feel and absorb their love for surfing and helping you in the waves. The lodge is very clean and very very cozy with spacious and clean communal areas. Is great to make dinners with the other guests. The location is very beautiful, next to beautiful ocean cliffs, definitely, a great place to take a walk during sunsets. Definitely recommend this place and would love to come back!

We really enjoyed our stay in this hostel! It was clean and has all the things that you need. In addition, it was perfect to meet new people as there are a lot of solo and small groups travellers. It is run by a super lovely and helpful family that really want to connect with the guests. The only downside of this place is that you are really gonna miss them at the end. We would recommend this hostel to anyone that wants to surf and have a great time in Peniche.

Yes! Loved! Booked a two bed private room with bathroom in room at lodge one. It was perfect. Chill surfer vibe without any negative vibes and all the fun. Each morning we were picked up for a wonderful day on the beach. Surf, body board , naps in the shade, beer and burgers at the cafe, Heaven! And yes take the surf lessons!!! No matter what skill level, you will make big gains in your surfing skills. The owners are the instructors so they are vested in your success. But more importantly, they love surfing and the ocean and love working with people who enjoy the ocean and the waves like they do. And if you not in love with surfing and the ocean when you get there. You will be when you leave. They are that good teaching. I try surfing once every 5 years so I am a perpetual beginner surfer. I have had surf lessons in Hawaii, California and here. Theses were by far the THE Best Surf lessons I have ever had. Dane, the instructor, was always patient and positive. So , yes, take the surf lessons. My travel partner surfing skills dramatically increased. The place attracts a wonderful group of positive and friendly travelers. So you will have good company in the water and at the beach and at the lodge. It’s a family run business and there is a pride of ownership. They even bring coffee and biscuits/cookies around 3 down to the beach. Fun. Yes , if you want a positive surfing vibe. Yes , if you want a good place to relax afterwards. It was the best part of our European adventure.

We had an amazing time at Peniche surf lodge and definitely come back! Your feeling like a big family, having beach days everyday. You get picked up at 10am ( how cool is that ?!) than u can choose if u just rent or take a lesson ( which are really good !!!). Duncan and Dane ( father and son) adjust the lessons to every level, have amazing tips, because they can really surf and literally read the oceans !! Amazing to get to know their knowledge. Claire (wife) is providing a lovely house, well equipped kitchen, clean rooms and they all make a lovely, funny atmosphere. We felt super welcomed and can’t wait to get back :)

I have been trying to progress at an intermediate level for a long time. Dane & Duncan helped me breakthrough. I made progress every single day. They are great coaches at all levels, the board selection is awesome, the lodge is super comfortable and the perfect mix of relaxed and fun. You can't go wrong here. I think the most validating point here is that while I was there for 2 weeks half of the people that came in had been there 2 or more times. I'll definitely be joining that group and coming back again!
