A guesthouse like home

The location of Alvor is perfect and there is enough to do in the area. My experience with Christina was great. She was nice and welcoming. We did have the advantage of staying in the house where you can cook and wash your clothes. I do think that it's unfair to the volunteers who end up in the guesthouse. So we're lucky that we got the best experience that was possible. It would help a lot if the cleaning supplies would be upgraded to do the tasks well. The other volunteers were very kind and fun to be around. They made this experience amazing for me. Thanks to them and Christina. :D

Samin and I stayed in Alvor for 2,5 weeks and I really enjoyed it. We were lucky to stay in the volunteer house and to start at 10 am every day. The work was easy, although I would definitely recommend Christina to buy some better cleaning equipment, like a new vacuum. The other volunteers that we met made this experience even better. Thank you!

We had such a great time in alvor! Christina made us feel welcome and the work was totally fine aswell! The work is mostly cleaning and was around 3h a day but that depends which shift u get, there a longer ones aswell. The house we lived in was well equipped and nice, even had a pool. The other option for the volunteers to stay in is not as good equipped tho, only has a microwave to cook in. Alvor is a nice town, not too big so the beaches are not too crowded. There are some options to have drinks but no night clubs All in all we had a really good time, thank you Christina for having us ?

Alvor is a very beautiful place and the other volunteers were very kind and warm. We had a good time after working.The place i had to stay was horrible, it was unhygienic and i had to sleep in a room with a 40 year old man in a room. Two nights i was alone with him. There was no stove, so i couldn't cook. In my perspective Christina saw us as cheap workers and not as people. There were so many rules.

At Alvor Ardemar, I learned a lot about my capacity. I was assigned to the kitchen, working about 5 hours daily, mainly preparing the buffet and cleaning, which was challenging due to the extensive areas covered by one person. There was an imbalance compared to room cleaners, who often finished earlier. Despite this, the experience was beneficial, especially for improving my English and Spanish, thanks to the diverse, multicultural volunteer group. I cherish the memories and the rewarding time I spent there ! So yeah as my first experience, I would recommend it.

We had a great 3 weeks in Alvor! Our time was made even better by the other volunteers! My work mainly consisted of work in the garden doing a mix of tasks which were physical and hot and on busy days I assisted with cleaning. Our accomodation was in a house about a 20 minute walk out of town, the accomodation was clean and comfortable, had good wifi and also had a pool for us to use! We would usually find out what time we were starting the day before however Cristina was accomodating if we needed a different start time. If you have any questions feel free to shoot me a message :)

We had a great time! Alvor is a cute town with atmosphere. The work was cleaning of guest house rooms and common areas. Work hours were always respected and Cristina was flexible and accomodating with start times and which day we got off. The best part was spending time with the other volunteers.

The experience was good. The work varied between gardening and working in the guesthouse. However, some tasks seemed unnecessary and it felt at times as though the host may try to fill your obligated 5 hours per day even if there wasn't an awful lot to do. I would also say that the experience was made by being with other volunteers more than the actual work itself. I was also only told what time I would be starting the night before and I was rarely told what I would be doing. This made it hard to prepare for the days work. I did enjoy the experience but communication could be improved.

O hostel 'a guest house' fica muito bem localizado no centro a guest house e é de fácil acesso as praias, lojas e restaurantes! A Cristina (dona do Hostel) é uma pessoa bem enérgica, e pode acabar assustando algumas pessoas no primeiro momento hehehe, mas foi sempre atenciosa e nos mostrou o que precisávamos fazer ao longo dos dias de trabalho! A maioria dos serviços envolviam tarefas de organização, limpeza dos cômodos dos Hostels e preparo do café da manhã. Não existe uma lista de tarefas a serem cumpridas, normalmente as tarefas são passadas no início do dia pela anfitriã.
