I had a wonderful experience at the hostel! 🏡✨ The work is easy to follow and the schedule is always respected. The location is perfect for exploring Faro and the hostel during your days off. The staff is super friendly and always ready to help. Definitely a great place for a volunteer experience!

My experience in the hostel was very good. Catarina is super organized with the shift, the task and everything is explained. She is always ready to help you. Faro is a beautiful city, small but you can enjoy places around. I also had a partner super friendly. So my experience was completely confortable. Thank you team ! <3

My time at the hostel was fantastic! Catarina was an amazing host we very clear hours for working, she did a fantastic job communication with me if I had any questions. Faro is a beautiful city and everything is so close together. The hostel itself is right in the middle of the city center allowing me to get around very well. I explored quite a bit and absolutely would recommend this to other volunteers. When I come back to faro I will definitely stay here!!
