Yescapa Community Reviews

My husband and I had a wonderful trip away in Vanessa! The van was as described and very clean and tidy. Well equipped with cutlery, plates all the small kitchen items needed. Liam and his wife and really friendly, great with communication and well organised.The only thing that we would say is if you are tall (my husbands 6ft1) the bed is a little short.Would absolutely recommend otherwise!

We rented this vehicle for about two weeks to do a family trip around Portugal and part of Spain.We were happy with the entire process. The Motorhome was reliable and easy to drive around due to its size and shape which made it possible to go almost every where which was is big advantage in my opinion.Also Miguel , the owner, was very nice and well communicated and supportive,

My partner and I had a fantastic 4 night trip in Sao Miguel. Beatriz and Tiago were phenomenal! It was our first time using the platform and things didn't start off well with issues booking (a yescapa problem). Yet B&T were always communicating with me and we finally got the correct dates to be reserved. B&T went above and beyond to ensure we had a good experience, offering their time, suggestions and help to troubleshoot.The van is beautifully decorated and well equipped. People always peeked inside when we had the doors open. We used the table and chairs, and the stove on multiple occasions. The bed was okay, as can be expected from a campervan. At 5'9 I was just about able to be straight from heel to head. If you are a much taller person, you might feel uncomfortable. With the curtains, we had privacy at night. We kept things tidy all the time and recommend doing so as things can quickly get out of hand in tight spaces. The water pump was reliable, as were the lights and power outlets (USB, 12 volt and usb-C) to charge our devices. We even had a portable espresso machine that I used often. Unfortunately it led us to run out of gas for our meals on the final day. The sink looks cute but is perhaps not the most functional design. The water tank was large enough for us to not have to refill it over our 4 nights but we were also very careful and didn't waste water. We really appreciated having some spices and the oil and vinegar to make salads. There were lots of pots (3) but unfortunately no lids - I would have preferred 1 pot with a lid along with the kettle which was useful to boil water. We thought we had a good amount of space for storing our food and our carry-on suitcases. B&T even had a basket of games and an instax camera available for our use!Sao Miguel is a hilly island. Accessing beaches or miradouros always means driving down switchbacks and certainly an experienced driver is needed (5 speed manual, diesel). The engine would struggle at times, and knowing when to switch gears was important to keep momentum and maintain speed up inclines. The van had no issues climbing very steep hills (>10%) on first gear. We found some amazing spots to spend the night and it was a very cool way of covering lots of ground and explore the island. At the time of our rental, the radiator fan was not working and this resulted in very foggy windshield one morning until it cleared up. It was not a big deal but could have posed a safety issue while driving if the fog had persisted. The van did have a modern display screen enabling you to connect your device and play music, but the speakers we lacking in sound quality and volume.All in all, I can't think of a much better way to explore the island than using a campervan. We had a great adventure and it was definitely due to the kindness and efforts from B&T and all the great people we met along the way.

Very good renters, no problems at all. Good communication, very clean and respectful. Would recommend and rent again.

We had a great time in Joao’s Blue Hotel. The van came equipped with everything we needed to cook and clean and there were tons of USB outlets to charge our phones, speakers, and backup batteries. The bed, pillows, and blankets provided were super comfortable and we slept well during our 15 day rental!Joao gave detailed instructions on how to use the equipment. I will say that driving the van definitely has a learning curve to it and you should be confident driving an older manual vehicle. Joao was available if we needed anything but our trip was smooth and we didn’t have any issues. Traveling Portugal by van is 100% the best way to explore and I recommend renting a van from Joao!

Great comunication. Everything was flawles from the moment they made a reservation till drop off. Hope the rest of vacation was nice aswell.

I was so lucky to have oportunity to rent the van to Juliette and her friend. They are both very nice and easygoing. On top of that they realy know about the mechanics of the car which was great because of miner issue on the van. They took very good care of it so I that I didn't have to worrie. Thank you for everything and hope to see you both again one day. J.

Everything went incredibly smoothly with Cedric and his friends as our camper van renters. They not only took excellent care of our van, but they were also extremely pleasant to interact with. I genuinely hope that all future renters have the same level of consideration that Cedric and his friends displayed. It was an absolute pleasure dealing with them.Best of luck on your future travels, Ivo
