I'm so grateful for the month I had here the guest house. Sonja and Pedro are doing really well with their the guest house. Don't go unless you're ready to work as expected. They are very reasonable with the work exchange. Lunches were one of my favorite parts. Our host parters with other hostel owners so all us volunteers can get to know each other. You would stay in 1/2 the guest house, while there are 4ish to clean. Generally we got one full guest house to clean a day. It's also pretty much 3 days working and 1 day off. 2 days off in a row guaranteed once. Don't see Sonja or Pedro often which was fine! xx

This was a wonderful experience that allowed me to get familiar with Faro and the algarve region in general. The work hours were respected and tasks were easy and very clearly explained. The best part about this experience was getting to meet the other travelers and volunteers!

This was my first Worldpacker experience and I couldn't be happier about it. The schedule and task were just as explained and the working time was respected. When an Issue occured, Sonja and her team were quick to respond and find a solution in a respectful manner. I got to meet a lot of wonderful people as well. Faro is a beautiful Town with a calming energy, which I will definitely miss on my travels!! Thanks a lot for those 4 weeks!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time here, getting to know the staff, volunteers and guests. The work consists of simple cleaning and housekeeping tasks (attention to detail is a must!). Help is always given if needed and I felt fully supported by the staff and hosts during my stay. Days off are in a monthly schedule so you always know in advance and the daily tasks are split evenly and communicated in a team chat. The provided lunches were fresh and healthy, cooked by volunteers at a nearby hostel. The city is super walkable and public transport is a great option for exploring nearby.
