I had a great experience volunteering in Alvor for two weeks! I stayed there during the low season and the work was always manageable and I never worked over 5 hours a day. You never know what you're going to do before going to work so be ready to be flexible! The work I did was mostly cleaning, taking care of the garden and farm work. Cristina was really kind and always in a good mood :) I'm grateful that I got to visit Algarve and to have met some really special people!

Christina is a fantastic host, very attentive and responsive. During the period we stayed, we learned a lot, worked and felt at home. Alvor is a paradise in the middle of the Algarve, a very friendly and pleasant little town. We loved the experience of working at the hostel. We recommend.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and felt lucky to have been given this experience. Beautiful location and really clean accommodation with a lovely host too. Christina was always attentive and made sure we were comfortable from arrival late in the evening from flight delays. Never worked over the 5 hours a day agreed upon and the work was always manageable. Wish we could've stayed longer!

Great place, great experience, great people. I'm glad my trip to Portugal ended with this experience. I got to know people from around the world and the beautiful Alvor.

This was my first experience at Worldpacker and it definitely worth it. I was lucky to be surrounded by amazing people who made the experience worthwhile. About the work, it's basically cleaning and organizing the rooms in the guest house, the work can be intense some days. About Cristina I must say that she is a person full of energy and very active, but the organization of the work schedule is not the best and this can be a little annoying. About the accommodation, I stayed in a house 18 min walk from the guest house, with all the necessary structure for cooking and washing clothes.

Cristina was a wonderful host, extremely accommodating and kind to the volunteers. Her family made us feel so welcome. The hours were great, and had the rest of the afternoon to do what we wanted.

The experience in the guest house was great, Alvor is a very beautiful and charming city, with pretty beaches. The hostess Cristina is a very friendly, kind and polite person, always in a good mood, full of energy and concerned with the well-being of the volunteers, the schedules and tasks are respected as agreed, and consist of cleaning the hostel rooms and some tasks of construction. it was also great sharing accommodation with volunteers Marcio, Fernada, Naiara and Luis. I recommend it to everyone.

Alvor is a beautiful little town, the atmosphere is nice and friendly, also with the other volunteers. It's good to speak Spanish, as there will be probably many people from Latin America around, but those are the best people! The work wasn't difficult to do and Cristina was a great host, always with a positive and welcoming energy. She assured me that Alvor was my home and I can come back in the future. Overall, mainly thanks to the people I mete there, it was an unforgettable experience. The beaches are beautiful and on a day off you can get to explore surrounding areas in Algarve. <3

My days at the guest house were nice! The staff is like a family and the house is comfortable. My job was basically housekeeping, cleaning and helping at guests breakfast. Cristina is an amazing person, sometimes very agitated but full of kindness. My schedule was from 8am to 1pm or 10am to 3pm. I stayed in the main house near to Alvor beach. Thank you Cristina, Fabio, Nat, Julian, Pitu and Sarka for this days at this small paradise called Alvor!
