I was initially very excited about booking two weeks at Homeoffice Madeira and found the price of 800 euros to be fair. I even initiated the payment process via Revolut.
However, I discovered that significantly better rooms with more space, proper beds, and large windows were being offered at the same price, which made me question the consistency and fairness of their pricing. When I raised this concern, I received polite responses, but the lack of flexibility and transparency left me feeling uneasy.
While the concept and added services might justify the price for some, I believe pricing policies should be clearer and more consistent to build trust with potential clients. Unfortunately, this inconsistency made me decide not to move forward with the reservation.
Update: In their response, they mentioned I tried to negotiate the price, which is misleading. My concern was never about asking for exceptions or discounts—it was about the fairness of charging the same price for vastly different room types. Transparency and consistency are fundamental for building trust, and the lack of both is what made me uncomfortable.
I was ready to pay the advertised price and even initiated the payment process, but discovering this inconsistency left me feeling undervalued as a potential guest. I hope they work on clearer communication in the future.
Just amazing! Perfect spot, perfect working conditions and an amazing host. The community character of Homeoffice Madeira makes the stay very special and unique. In combination with the countless after work activities this feels more like an adventure rather than a regular remote working spot.
Many thanks to everyone who made my stay an unforgettable memory!
A wonderful place to spend a great time with other people on Madeira! The detached villa with a beautifully landscaped and well-kept garden invites you to linger on sunny days but is also an oasis of peace during winter!
Two weeks, many adventures and hikes later, I can say: I will definitely come back!
The host Figo is usually on site and always has suitable tips and tricks for activities and ideas on how to round off the working day or make the most of the weekend in nature and the plenty of hikes on Madeira. (Please read the brochure beforehand - it already contains lots of hikes etc!!! ;) )
Everything is super organised, well thought out and, above all, thrives on the community of people on site! Everything can, nothing has to! Whether it's a weekend excursion together or a short hike around the house along a levada, karting and cooking dinner together or going to a restaurant - everyone usually gets together and activities are planned together, but "me-time" or small group activities are also possible. I personally find the community spirit and the presence of the hosts unique and this is what makes the Homeoffice Madeira spirit!
Thank you so much for the wonderful time, Figo&Team!
I can only recommend anyone who is thinking of booking a stay: just do it - you won't regret it!
The stay in HomeOffice was pleasant from the very moment I was greeted by the super friendly host Eli.
I literally came to the place with no expectations whatsoever and it surpassed them on all fronts. From the beautiful views from the house, to the well oiled system of the CoLiving and CoWorking itself.
The place attracts like minded people, with some of which you could easily form long lasting friendships.
Anyone can make the suggestions for afterwork activities, so being spontaneous is really the way to go.
Again shout out to the host Eli, who is making sure the things are running smoothly and that everyone is up to date with the activities. She really is the soul of the house.
Definitely one of the best times I had in a long time. I met so many new people which I can call my friends now and with whom I could enjoy all the different activities on the island. From delicious pizza nights to beautiful hikes, there are things for everyone to do. The views in the morning are amazing and lifts the mood when one has to start with the first business calls in the morning. Eli had been a wonderful hostess and was making sure that all of us felt welcome and had the most wonderful time. Will come back for sure!
I had an amazing time at Homeoffice Madeira. I was a solo female traveler and instantly found great people to do all the activities around Madeira with. Plenty of locations to work around the house. The hostess, Eli, is absolutely phenomenal, knows all the best locations and when to go. I made a lot of great friends and will definitely be back
I had a great time at Homeoffice Madeira. The place looks exactly like it does in the pictures, which was a big relief. I was a bit worried about privacy, especially for important client meetings, but that wasn’t an issue at all. Everything went smoothly, and the atmosphere was just right.
Figo, the host, is awesome. He goes above and beyond for his guests, making sure you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive. It was impressive to see how many people were return visitors – that really says a lot about the place!
I’m already planning my next stay because two weeks just wasn’t enough. If you’re looking for a laid-back but productive work environment, this is the spot! :-)
