This was my first experience as a volunteer and I was very satisfied, I felt welcomed by the volunteers and the accommodation I stayed in was comfortable and clean. As Nuno has more than one property the dynamics of the work can vary, but the properties are very close and the scale was well organized. I didn't have information or communication problems, which made it a lot easier :) The city is a separate spectacle, each day of the month was special for me. Thank you, Nuno!

It was an incredible experience, thanks to the super nice team for the warm welcome and support, it was a pleasure to work with such cool people. Our hostel's tasks were quite simple and understandable, the host is very welcoming, we learned about the local culture and met a lot of cool volunteers there. Definitely recommend it and hope to come back again!

Disappointing. I ultimately left early as I didn't want to remain in a toxic environment where I felt less like a volunteer & more like my free labor was being exploited. There was no sense of community. 1st shift, Nuno was getting drunk at the hostel & left me alone with 100% capacity. This is not where I lived, nor worked. I don't recommend, & would suggest to Nuno to show more respect for the volunteers who are largely responsible for keeping his businesses afloat. Thankful I didn't let this experience discourage me from trying again. Please keep searching, I promise better is out there.

This is my first experience with Worldpackers and I'm really enjoying it, I'm still here in Faro. I'm volunteering in my area which is decoration and artistic wall painting and that makes me very happy. Everyone is nice to me and helpful. I highly recommend it.

This is my first workaway experience and I sure have had a lot of fun! It was off season so the work load was pretty light. I had lots of free time hanging out or making some day trip to cities nearby. It's a great opportunity to meet other travelers and have a drink together by the beach;) Nuno is very flexible and always lays out the schedule of the day so everything was clear. Arni is such a wonderful cook and "DJ" and I will sure miss you and the yummy food!

My experience in Faro was amazing, the local people and the town are so much fun and I would highly recommend to stay there. The work schedule was easily manageable with 4 hours of work per day and 2 days off per week leaving plenty of time to explore all that Faro has to offer.

The owner has different guesthouse/hostels all around Faro (really nice and small city) and he has a lot of volunteers for those places. This is really cool because you can meet a lot of people all around the world! I stayed in “The Central” and it is really nice, i shared a room with a cool girl. The working hours are flexible and the owner is also nice. This experience was so good, i recommend it to everyone!!!

Awesome experience. the working hours were sometimes less than 4 and the work was easy and well explained. i met a lot of wonderful people all around the world and there were a lot of volunteers that always made me feel like home. even if your english is not perfect it's totally ok cause there is a mix of languages between all the volunteers. the place where i used to sleep was not the guest house but it was The Central, a quiet and nice guesthouse. the host super flexible and friendly. the town is small but it's near from albufeira and other towns with beautiful beaches.

The city and all of the guesthouses are beautiful. The work hours and turns are respected. The team is also amazing, they make the work funny and organized. The only problem we had was that while volunteering two members of the team got corona and the reaction of the host was not the best as at first they were asked to continue working without telling anybody, which for me, is irresponsible as we were cleaning rooms and making check-ins. At the end they were allowed to stay without working but the relationship with the host was tense since then.
