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!!

I spent three weeks at the hostel and really enjoyed my stay. The hostel is clean, comfortable, and safe. Its location is perfect - just two minutes from the bus and train stations, as well as the port and the old town. During my stay in March, the city was quite peaceful, making it the perfect place to recharge. The tasks were as agreed upon and easy, and the team was super helpful and understanding. Whenever I had questions, I could always reach out to Catharina, Paula, or Caline. I'm grateful for the experience and would definitely recommend this place! 🫶🏼✨🥰
