At time of writing, the hostel with 80 guest capacity has only one full-time employee, who is Alex the manager. The owner of the hostel is is super extremely greedy and wouldn't consider hiring more to help Alex, which makes his workload too heavy. Alex is a good manager, but things can get rough sometimes due to enormous stress. Instead of caring for employees, the owner went on a holiday and left Alex alone in charge. This action is completely inhumane as he worked relentlessly and this is basically modern day slavery. I wish the worst for the owners, and enjoy hell.

My experience has been positive. The work takes place in 4-hour shifts (morning, afternoon,evening). It depends a lot on the group of volunteers ; If a sufficiently large and cohesive group is established, the work is easily manageable. The volunteers and the manager welcomed me well and the structure is really very nice: large garden, possibility to have a barbecue and deck chairs make the atmosphere relaxing. The hostel is 40 minutes walking from the beach but you can easily move with the Uber app (works great there, I recommend downloading it!) both to the Praia de Faro and city center

Alex is very nice and flexible with your work hours. You only have to work for 4 hours, but the workload is too much. It's not difficult, but it's too much. Also, after 1 week we were only 3 volunteers for which we had to work a lot. Although Alex was very nice and tells you you don't have to, it's impossible not to do it because of the tremendous workload there was sometimes, when the hostel was full of people.

The hostel is very nice from outside, it seems like a private villa but inside it is so so dirty..well located near beach and airport. The manager doesn't exist and he can't help you and listen to you.. he can't do his job. I was very shocked when he start to scream on me and saying..: I don't want crazy people here you have to leave now.. without a reason .. I never lived such a horrible experience like that and I surely will not recommend.

This volunteer was invited to leave the hostel after causing several problems with ALL volunteers and not fulfilling their tasks correctly did not like to help anybody, disrespecting the others arriving at dawn, waking up all volunteers without any respect and laughing at everyone saying "I do not care", taking guests into the volunteers' room knowing that it is not allowed, when confronted about these situations, she would simply start screaming and leave, making a dialogue impossible, without doubt a person that any host should be aware of if they accept her.

It was an amazing experience to stay here. You get enough time to explore the city, beach etc. So yes this is the right place to be a volunteer here.

Fiz o voluntariado com meu parceiro e tivemos uma boa experiência como primeiro voluntariado. O Alex é uma ótima pessoa, fomos super bem recepcionados. O hostel está ainda com algumas parte em reforma então tende a melhorar. Ambiente tranquilo

The hostel is still new, and some rooms need a bit of work, but it should be fine in a few weeks. Alex was very kind and welcoming, I had a great stay overall :)

It was a great experience! It was a great living together and we felt really comfortable at any time! Alex our host ist such a nice person! We could improve our hospitality skills and also could develop ourselves. We would highly recommend that Worldpackers experience to anyone who is looking for a place that feels like home! <3 :)

We had a nice stay at the hostel, and the work is not too hard. But one has to be aware of the room the staff is sleeping in is quite crowded. Besides you never know what guests are coming, so you have to be prepared to get confronted with different and sometimes difficult people. Still a good experience and you can get friends with guests and other volunteers :)
