Sonja, Pedro and Josephina were amazing!! I enjoyed so much my time the guest house working for them. One advice will be to make more activities with the volounteers (like a little gathering once a week for example)nothing too demanding,just to make the volounteers feel more at home🥰

Faro is a small city which will make you feel at home, same as the team running this hostel. The work is manageable and easy, and whether or not you're a first time volunteer you'll be given instructions. When the work is finished, there's a lot of free time to spend visiting places and immersing yourself in the local culture!

I spent a month at the Female Hostel the guest house and had a wonderful first Worldpackers experience. The work matched the description perfectly, and I felt very comfortable throughout my stay. I met many great people and highly recommend this experience to everyone!

I really enjoyed this volunteer experience in Faro. The work is quite easy, Josefina, Sonja and Pedro are also always here to help us if we need anything. All the volunteers have the same working hours which is very convenient to go eat together at lunch and do activities in the afternoon. Overall it was an amazing first experience, i met amazing people and I am very grateful for the time i spent there!

This was an incredible experience! I worked mostly with Josephina and Sonja, they were incredible. Very welcoming, kind, and personable. The work is easy, you just need to focus on it for the four hours a day and then you can spend the rest of your time doing whatever you would like. Faro is nice, it also allows you to go visit other places in the Algarve very easily. I really adore this location and the people that I have met through this experience! Anything you could need you just talk to Sonja and Pedro about and they can help you figure it out! It was a great first WP experience!

I'm really grateful for the time I could spent here in Faro. Sonja is a really caring and appreciating host, and the work was most of the time pretty easy to do. I really liked the other volunteers, but it was a bit hard at times due to them mostly speaking Portuguese and Spanish, and me only being fluent in English. But I think we made it work just fine!

I enjoyed my time here! I felt as if my requests and needs were respected. Sonja was always approachable and easy to talk to. The work could occasionally be a lot, but that was mainly due to a shortage of volunteers. There was always someone there to help if needed! The tasks themselves were relatively simple, and there was plenty of time to hang out with the other volunteers after work (as we all have the same hours) and explore Faro and other nearby towns. I made great friends and cherished the memories I made through this experience. Thank you Sonja, Pedro, and Josefina.

I had a great first Worldpackers experience at the guest house & the guest house. The atmosphere between all the volunteers was amazing. I made a lot of new friends. Sonja is very easy to talk to and she always makes sure that everyone is feeling comfortable. There is lunch every day and they even provide vegetarian options. The work it not hard but it's still really important to be focused. There is always someone around to help you if needed. You have the entire afternoon to explore Faro and have fun with other volunteers. Thank you Pedro and Sonja for having me, Faro was great 🫶🏻

It wasn't exactly what I expected. Volunteers sleep in 2 different hostel and the hostel to clean are five so the shifts, communicated clearly in the morning, were split in those five. It was an important responsibility since except for a girl who actually work there, the work is all on the volunteers. I saw Sonja one time coincidentally, when she was about to leave for Easter holidays, she stayed in contact with us by WhatsApp and we were totally indipendent without supervision when also the other girl was off. They provide lunch cooked by other volunteers on a terrace in another hostel

The experience was great due to the other amazing volunteers. Faro is an amazing city, super walkable and the hostel is located in the center which is super convenient. I believe improvements should include creating dynamic group activities within the volunteer team. They follow the schedules and the hosts were super nice being flexible and understanding when problems occur. There had been instances where the volunteers were asked to do jobs that we were not expecting. Overall, it was a pretty good experience.
