I had such a good experience volunteering at the hostel! The work was fair and easy to learn, and I always had plenty of time to explore Faro and visit other places around the Algarve. The atmosphere is fun and the other volunteers quickly felt like friends. I met so many great people here that I know I'll stay in touch with. If you want a chill and social volunteer experience with time to enjoy the area, I definitely recommend the hostel. I loved my time here and I would definitely come back!

The hostel is a home for me. I've been a volunteer there twice and I can only say the best about the hostel and people there. If you're looking for a chill, friendly, cozy enviroment, amazing people to meet, this is the place to go to. As for work, everything is well organized, if something doesn't fit, they will make sure to find a solution. Jennifer is a really good and kind host, always trying to meet everyone's needs, as well as the people who work there. The best part is, but be careful..once you're there, people will become part of the family and it will be hard to say goodbye :)

I would absolutely recommend volunteering at the hostel! The staff made me feel welcome from the very beginning, and I had a great time getting to know my fellow volunteers. The work was fair and the schedule is very accommodating. It gave me plenty of free time to explore Faro, and other surrounding cities as well! The Fall is the slower season which I enjoyed but if you are looking for a more social vibe, I would recommend volunteering in the Summer. I hope to come back to the hostel one day <3

I really enjoyed the volunteer/staff team being bigger than in my previous hostel, it feels like being around family and there is always someone to talk to. The hostel itself has a gorgeous rooftop terrace and there are lots of areas to be social or work in peace. Its super central and faro is great to do day trips or take the free surf lesson provided by the hostel:)

I had a truly amazing time at the hostel! The work was easy and hours both flexible and respected. The accommodation was very nice and the volunteers and full time employees there were very nice and welcoming. Faro was a lovely location as well, especially since it was easy to visit other places since it is very well connected. I would definitely recommend this volunteering experience and even extended my stay here!
