My stay was nice. The tasks were easy and the other volunteers were very nice. However, me and my friend were promised the same days off which wasn’t completely granted. The supervisors also didn’t do things the same way which led to some confusion.

I really enjoyed my time at Lemon Hostel. The hosts were very nice and there was a great group of girls working that made the time in Faro very fun. It’s a great place to relax and make new friends!! I do believe the communication between supervisors could be improved, as we were told 2 different ways to complete tasks, which made it confusing for the volunteers. Besides that, it was great and I’d recommend to another traveller!

My time at the hostel was great!
The working hours were well respected and the work itself was pretty easy. The location is close to the center and you also get some discounts for bars. Furthermore, the people were nice and I really liked the atmosphere in general.
Highly recommend staying here :)

I really enjoyed my time at Lemon Hostel! The work is perfectly doable and the free time is great. If you have any doubts or problems the supervisors can help you. The other volunteers were great and I had an amazing time with them. Faro is also nice and it has a good location to visit the Algarve region. Thanks for this experience!!

This was my first experience with worldpackers and I can really recommend it!
I met amazing people from all around the world and collected unforgettable memories.
The staff is very young and was super nice and the work is all right too.
Sometimes there were some spontaneous changes in the schedule but if you go to the supervisors you can work something out with them together.
Overall this was a really great first experience!!
