It was a great stay. It's perfect to meet a lot of people and you are going to have an amazing time with them. Nuno (the host) is nice and gives clear instructions on what to do. If you need to do the cleaning it can feel like a lot of work at first but I think you get used to it so it's not bad and you never need to work more than the 5 hours. Nuno will also respect your wishes when it comes to arranging your off days. Faro is a very cute city with pretty beaches, nice Cafés and bars. I really enjoyed my stay here and can recomend it to you. If you have any questions, fell free to text me :)

I thought I was going to work in a hostel, but I had to work cleaning the owner's personal apartments too. I paid for an application to work in a hostel, and I had to clean apartments and the hostel. I worked hard every day, and the owner, without any empathy, treats us like slaves. Unfortunately I don't recommend this hostel, it was the worst place I worked

here you don't speak a word off English, the only thing you could do is clean, maybe you wish you where invited to my apartment but that never happen and all that you have done is clean 2 or 3 rooms a day and badly cause the other staff complain and hade to go and clean again.
Realmente não entendo que prazer tens depois do tempo que passaste aqui e sempre foste bem tratada, de ir online dizer mentiras, faz me confusão, muita confusão mesmo. Peço desculpa para infelizmente não ter mais tempo para te dar atenção e conviver com os chungas que trazias para o terraço para beber mas tenho mais que fazer da vida.
Das mais de mil pessoas maravilhosa que aqui já passaram e continuam a passar e a voltar, tu serás daquelas que aqui terás a porta fechada, mas certamente és tão talentosa que arranjaras trabalho facilmente em qq parte do mundo, menos aqui com os escravos.

I spend one month in Faro working in the guest house. I do not have enough words to describe this experience because it was… magical! The job was very cool, Nuno is always there to explain you the mission and you fell welcomed the first minute you arrived. The schedule is very nice and thanks to that I had a lot a free time to explore the Algarve, which is an AMAZING region in Portugal. And, this experience gives me the opportunity to meet a lot a travelers, spend time together and have the honour to call them friends. I am very grateful for this experience <3

It was my first experience as a volunteer, I admit to being equal with a little fear, but once I arrived I felt so happy. Faro is a small but very pretty town. I met some fantastic girls who shared this journey with me. We worked together, laughed and joked creating a wonderful bond and I'm happy to say that with them I felt at home. The owner Nuno is very helpful and nice.

We had a great time! Faro is beautiful, and we met so many incredible people. The lunches were fun because you could interact with people volunteering at other hostels. Also, the scheduling is a bit unorganized and communication was lacking at times, which was a little stressful. The work itself and the hours were reasonable though and what we expected. Overall, we had a great experience and the other volunteers were amazing!! P.S. We expected the beach to be within walking distance, but it is a ferry ride away. Still possible to go often though.

It was a nice and fun experience for us, which in itself was really great. The people working there were open and welcoming, which helped us to integrate quickly. Nuno (the host) didn't quite stick to the things he told us before we arrived, which led to some misunderstandings, so there was kind of a lack of understanding. There was a problem with bed bugs in some rooms, especially for me. The host seemed unbothered and used to the problem. All in all we still had a very good time and made very good friendships.

Nuno (the host) didn’t quite stick to the things he told us before we arrived ???
1- I did stick to all the thinks we talked, you created problem with the rest off the staff not doing the tasks well that mean for the other staff to have to review everything.

2- Bring an extra friend and all you care about is going to party, inclusive having the police for the first time in one off the guesthouse to stop the noise that you girls where making because you where so drunk.

3- Bed bugs problems are solved and where solved, maybe iff the cleaning was better that problem would never exist.

4- its incredible you can 3 disrespectful little girls came to a place to help and force the schedule to be different because off there interesses to party.

I would definitely not recommend this 2 ( 3) to any host.

I was staying with my two friends at the guest house and we had a nice month there. The other volunteers were really caring, welcoming and we did a lot of fun things together. So the best thing about our time volunteering there was definitely meeting new people and gaining new friends. The work there itself was also ok, but you have to be prepared for things like getting the work Plan the night before or kind of being taken advantage of, concerning the work load. Another big thing are the bedbugs. The mattresses are very old and the problem of the bedbugs is not really taken care of.

I had a really nice time at the guest house. Nuno, the owner, is really chilled and helpful. He always tries to make you feel at home. The rest of team was amazing too, especially Dani and Renata, who helped me a lot. Thank you! The location is perfect, right in front of Marina, and the guesthouse is nice with a nice the guest house. Only the volunteers space is a little uncomfortable but if you are not too needy and easily adaptable is gonna be okay for you :) The job is easy and well organized and you have a lot of free time to visit the city and the rest of Algarve. Recommended! 🤗
