I loved my time in Faro! It was my first volunteer. The work and schedule was followed and the tasks were easy. You could always ask for help in the group and get a fast response. I met many new friends that I'm still in contact with! Loved the lunches- the food was great and you met lots of new people!

It was not third experience with Worldpackers and I stayed for 3 weeks. All in all, I had a very good and fun time. The working hours are very easy and you have a free day after three days of working. To eat lunch, we always go to another hostel and get fresh food there. I have had enough time to explore Algarve and Faro. I would definitely come back!

This was my first Backpacker's volunteer experience and it was incredible! I stayed in Faro for three weeks and met lots of amazing people. The hosts of the experience, Pedro & Sonja, were extremely kind and welcoming. My experience took place during the holidays and they ensured that there was still holiday spirit. The volunteer work was just as it was said on the application. Hours were from 10:30am-2:30pm with days off sprinkled in. The work was doable and the hosts answered any questions I had. Overall a great experience that I recommend to everyone! :)

It was my first experience as a volunteer, and it was really nice. Altough the room didnt habe a window (this was disclosed when applying), it was okay to stay in for 3 weeks. The host was really friendly and you could always reach out if you had questions. We always ate lunch together at an other hostel, with volunteers from alot of different hostels, so it was really easy to meet other solotravellers and to make friends.

I truly loved being here. I met so many people from all over the world and made some good friends. The food you get is so delicious. The work is as expected and fair. Only the room could be a bit better. But you get used to it, and eventually it doesn't bother you anymore. Thank you so much for everything. I already miss you <3

This experience was amazing! Pedro and Sonja are so nice and the really care about your wellbeing. The work is easy and you have alot of free time. So I explored almost the whole algarve aswell. The lunch is always great and you meet alot of people there aswell. I would definitely recommend it. In some other reviews I read, people complain about the room. I dont think its that bad but you shouldn't have high expectations. And yes there are cockroaches in the bathroom sometimes.

This was my first volunteering and I can say it was incredible. The working hours are fair, although the cleaning work is tiring, the days off and the place pays off a lot. The hosts are very attentive, and I was able to meet wonderful people. I loved Faro.

I LOVED my time in Faro. The hours are very fair, 10:30-2:30 and you get one day off after three working. I really enjoyed staying at the Female Hostel as well, I felt so safe and welcome. Also this is a great way to practice Spanish! (More so I found than living in Spain). My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer.
