This was my first Worldpackers experience and it was great. All the staff were very friendly, and time passed quickly while working with them. The work was easy, the spaces were clean, and the hostel is located in the city center. Faro is a small, calm city where you can really relax and enjoy your time during the volunteering. If you're thinking of applying, I highly recommend it. Thank you for everything!

This was my first volunteering experience, and it was truly unforgettable! The staff were incredibly kind and quickly grew on me — they made me feel welcome from day one. The work was easy and enjoyable, and I loved connecting with travelers from all over the world. The atmosphere was friendly and familiar, and there's so much to experience in and around Faro. The surf lessons were amazing too! I'll really miss this place and all the wonderful people I met here. Great hostel, great people, great experience!

The hostel provides a well-organized environment, with clear tasks and a balanced work routine. The team is cooperative, and the overall atmosphere is friendly, which helps create a good dynamic between volunteers and guests. The facilities are suitable for those looking for a work exchange experience: the spaces are clean, the location is convenient, and communication between the staff and volunteers is effective. I recommend it to anyone seeking a volunteering opportunity with good conditions and a multicultural environment.

My time in Faro was amazing! In the hostels the staff are very friendly, everyone is welcoming. The work is not hard, all they needed is to help out with serving and preparing the dinners, and the cleanup afterwards. Faro is a little calm city, so not that many things to do, but a good place to explore the Algarve. The other volunteers who I worked with were amazing, they truly made the experience special. If you thinking of applying, I would a 10000% recommend! Thank u for everything!

I couldn't be happier with my experience here. The job was easy and the working hours were respected, but what I truly loved were the people I got to meet: such a fun and social hostel where you can connect with so many international travelers and make incredible friendships. A big thank-you as well to the amazing team at Hostellicious and the hostel and to the volunteers I shared my experience with, they really made Faro feel like my home away from home. For anyone reading this: if you're hesitating about applying for this volunteer experience, just go for it. You won't regret it :)
