I had a really good time at the guest house café and surf school! Everyone was so welcoming and flexible, it was easy to fit in and enjoy the tasks! I would recommend to anyone who likes surfing and loves making new experiences!:)

That was my second trip with Worldpackers I stay 1 month in the guest house. I can't describe to you how Maria lovely welcomed me and show me the house. After that, we've been together with others all the time. Sadly I had to come back home earlier than I want, but anyway it was an unforgettable experience and also for me because I got food intolerance and it was nice to cook in the modern kitchen too. Mauro is a great host + friendly person, I've never worked before and for me, it was amazing to rent the surfs and wetsuit. I've surfed a lot and have also been on a Kayak tour. AMAZING!

People in surf school are super welcoming and fun to work with. Tasks are easy, working in surf rental or in a cafe. You'll have a lot of free time to explore the outstanding nature near the house, take part of surf lessons or visit other cities in Portugal. The place is a bit out of the city centre so be prepared to pay some money for taxi/ bus tickets. I met amazing people from all over the world and shared a house with other volunteers who felt like a family. Even during off season it was super fun, the vibes were great and must be even better during the summer. Definitely recommend!!

It was a good experience, in the house I met so many beautiful people to have fun with, living in a house with only young people is great. The work is simple and enjoyable and you can surf whenever you want, the same for kayak and sup. The place is quiet and full of different beaches. Mauro and Chico are two kind and nice people, the only thing to say is that the organization is usually not good. To explore the Algarve you have to spend some money on transport because often there are no good connections, but in the end it is worth it!

This place is really great- the vibes are good and people sweet. The job is either in the surf rental where you rent boards out or in the cafe where you help with making the drinks, cleaning dishes and taking orders. Both fairly simple and the ones who work there is really helpful (and incredibly funny). The shifts are short and you have the rest of the day to surf, explore and make fun things with the other volunteers. Keep in mind that if you are travelling here in the winter months then there won't be a lot of things happening or people around. Though I'm sure it's amazing in summer!

The guest house is really chill. People are nice the job is super easy. It may be easier to have your own car to explore and enjoy the surroundings. My bad for coming in low season.. the experience must be even better with a beautiful summer weather! Thanksss

My experience at the guest house is one that I will never forget! The tasks are very easy and typically change from day to day so they do not get monotonous! Having access to the beach, walking trails and surfing equipment is great for the days off or for after the tasks were completed for the day! For someone looking to meet other volunteers from around the world and to create a tight knit family bond, you should definitely consider the guest house!

I had the best time at the guest house, the place is beautifull, the work is fun and the people are amazing. I felt very welcomed by the guest house team and by the others volunteers, is a real family like vibe that makes you feel like home. You have a lot of spare time to surf, travel around the Algarve and hang out with the most incredible people. Is a unique experience and I can't wait to come back

My time as volunteer in the guest house was amazing! The work is easy going and you're always in contact with nature. Albufeira has wonderful beaches to explore after job or on your days off. The host and the team are nice and always ready to help you. The house where we live is super, I was really welcomed by the other volunteers and colleagues, I felt like a family, home away from home. I highly recommend this volunteer!

Exactly what Adam said… home away from home! Everyone is super friendly, easygoing & fun. The work is chill and there is always a lot of time to surf & explore the Algarve. It's been a once in a lifetime experience and I'm grateful for my time here:))
