Faro will from now on hold a dear place in my heart. The city is peaceful and full of beauty, a great place to recharge. Sonja and Pedro were amazing hosts with excellent communication, always making sure everything went smoothly. The staff, Ana and Josefina, were super helpful and kind, always there whenever I needed something. Their support made the stay really comfortable and enjoyable

I had a wonderful experience the guest house. The work was well organized, the schedule was very reasonable, and the days off gave me plenty of time to enjoy and travel around the Algarve. What I enjoyed the most about this volunteering position was sharing lunch at Ria Terrace, as it allowed me to connect with many wonderful people who made my trip unforgettable. About Pedro and Sonja, they were amazing hosts , kind, approachable, and always willing to help at any time. No regrets at all, it was simply an amazing experience!!!

My experience at Female Hostel was awesome! The work hours and tasks were well balanced for a volunteering position. The staff members and volunteers I met at Ria Terrace were all super nice and friendly, and I really appreciated having free lunch every day. I liked the hostel both as a structure and as an environment,it's very cozy and welcoming. I also truly appreciated the clear and polite communication that Sonja and Pedro used with the whole team, as well as their willingness to accommodate days off and always try to find a compromise that suits everyone's needs. Thank you!!

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 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.

I cannot put in words how amazing this experience was, Sonja, Pedro and Josefina are amazing people, they are very patient and they're always willing to listen to you anytime. The work is not hard, by the time you learn how to make things quicker. Faro is actually really nice if you're looking for a calm place, for a first experience is perfect.
