My stay at the guest house was really great! The working hours (max. 4 hours per day) were always respected. The work itself can be sometimes be a bit exhausting but it is never overwhelming and I always managed to finish the tasks in time. Pedro and Sonja are the most amazing hosts and make you feel really appreciated. They even invited us to their home and cooked for us. But most of all the other volunteer girls that I met on my trip made this experience so special - they became like a family abroad, like a home away from home and will always have a special place in my heart 💛

A tremendous first-time solo travel. Faro is a safe and quite small city. The community is all female volunteers and everyone supported each other. Sonja and Pedro are very caring hosts and always prioritized the volunteers. There was a bit of a language barrier for me, who did not speak Spanish/the guest house, and other volunteers. But, everyone wanted to get along so it was still a great experience and I have made some great friends along the way that I hope to keep in touch with! I would defiantly recommend doing this if it is your first time traveling! Thank you, Sonja and Pedro.

I would definitely recommend this exchange! Sonja and Pedro are great hosts that are always checking in on you and making sure everything is going well! The work was never overwhelming and the accommodation was very nice for a hostel. The location is great as you can easily see various towns in the algarve by train for €10 or less! The free lunch's were delicious and were great for socializing! I really enjoyed my time here

Sonja and Pedro are amazing hosts! Since the beginning they have been super comprehensive and helped me in a difficult situation. The tasks and shifts are clear and easy. You also have 2 days off per week which is super, so you can discover amazing Algarve. This experience has been incredible and I will for sure come back to Faro. I met lots of new friends from all over the world and had a great time!! Thank you Pedro and Sonja ❤️

My experience was great! I had a lot of contact with the guests, which allowed me to practice my English. I had a great relationship with the team in general, we learned a lot from each other, I was able to practice Spanish and English with the team, too :) I made friends that I will always take with me <3 The hosts are great people, flexible and willing to make your experience as good as possible. The work went smoothly, in my view, some days more intense than others due to the flow of guests, but the hosts always balanced the amount of tasks very well. It was a great experience.

I had a great time at the guest house! It really is a big family there and everyone immediately welcomed me. It was a great way to experience Faro while getting to explore the surrounding areas. The work was as described and allowed for a lot of time to enjoy Faro. Thank you Pedro and Sonja for the amazing stay :)

Volunteering in Faro was my first worlpackers experience. And I must say I had some amazing weeks here. You always have shifts around 10am-14am depending on how many people there are to work and some days can get heavier. But you always know what to do and things about work were communicated immediately. You are having lunch at another hostel which was really good due to other volunteers from other hostels that cooked for us :)) By not only getting to know your roommates but also volunteers from other hostels you meet many new people which is amazing! Thanks to Sonja, Pedro and Josefina<3

Looking back I had a great time volunteering at the guest house. The work, cleaning and housekeeping, is easy, good manageable and never overwhelming . Also the working hours are as described, sometimes even less, which gives you enough time to explore Faro, Algarve and the all the other beautiful cities nearby. I really enjoyed my time here. Thanks for everything!

My stay at the guest house was perfect for my first volunteering experience! Sonja and Pedro always made me feel super safe, even when they weren't in the city I always felt like i could reach out to them for any problem. They also brought me to the airport on my last day because the buses weren't available! The work was really easy, never overwhelming and actually you get two days off per week. I had plenty of free time to explore the cities nearby and to have fun with my fellows volunteers! Thank u so much for the experience, I hope I get to come back soon <3
