I had a nice time in Alvor! Cristina and Joaquim are super warm and kind people and great hosts. Everything was explained to me right away and the work was always clear. I helped with cleaning and actually worked less than what was listed, so I had much time to enjoy the beautiful town :) Alvor is a lovely and relaxed place right by the beach. I would recommend this experience!

This was my first experience with world packers, i had a great time! Alvor is a beautiful place, with one of the nicest beaches I've ever been to. The hours were often less than agreed. Christina and Joaquin were great hosts! Would recommended

Cristina and Joaquim arr great hosts! I had an awesome time getting to know the other voluntiers and exploring the region of Algarve, which is beautiful. The work was intense but fair, composed mainly of housekeeping at the guesthouse and dish washing, and we had the whole afternoon and night free to do whatever we liked. Would totaly recomend this experience for someone who is wanting to get to know the Algarve region and make some friends! Great way to travel, have fun and save some good money!

I truly had an amazing time at the guest house! The work load was exactly as described, housekeeping and for about 4 hours a day, sometimes less. I would walk to the beach after which was very nice. Christina and her husband were very kind and welcoming. I would have to say finding the location was very difficult, so put in the coordinates she give in to GOOGLE maps not apple maps. Other than that it was amazing and hopefully i will be back in the future!

I mainly did housekeeping & the work exchange was more than fair. Afterwards you can go to the beach, pool, nap...I preferred nap & beach in the evening :) The accommodations were good, cleanliness depends on everyone, be respectful! You spend a lot of time around the other volunteers & it's a wonderful cultural exchange opportunity. Cristina & her team are very kind & open to communication. You can walk to town, the grocery store & the beaches. Give yourself a day or two to adjust to living w/ others, learn the workload & the town…then it starts to feel like home! Thank you Cristina & Alvor!
