This was a good experience overall! I met many lovely volunteers and the free meals were amazing. I loved the food! Faro is a peaceful town and it's also close to many other beautiful places in the Algarve! The room could be better, but I still felt comfortable!

This was my first time volunteering and it was an amazing first experience to have. Sonja and Pedro were always easy to contact and very welcoming hosts. Faro was a great location as it is easy to explore the city itself and also to travel to other locations around the algarve and beyond. I would definitley recommend doing this volunteer.

The experience was great. The tasks are very easy and well explained and after work you get to have a lot of free time to explore Algarve! Sonja and Pedro (the hosts) and Josephina are really nice and available and they really care about the volunteers. Faro is a small town but it's well connected with the other places in Algarve. The room is a shared one, there is na window but it's not a big deal, the guesthouse where volunteers stay is nice and you always get great lunch for free with other volunteers :)

I had an amazing time the guest house. Sonja and Pedro are incredibly welcoming and kind hosts who truly care for the volunteers. The work is easy and very well explained and leaves a lot of time to explore Faro and close-by cities. The only thing to consider before coming is that the room for the volunteers can be quite dark and doesn't have a window, but there is access to roof terrasses. Overall, I absolutely recommend this experience!

I spent around one month in the Female Hostel, good time and good experience and very pretty Hostel. The tasks are good explained and also the time free works with a monthly planning giving you a possibility to enjoy Algarve. Sonja and Josephina are taking care of introducing to the tasks and to the overall organization. I can say even during the high season and the overload tasks the situation has been handled clearly as well as in managing the planning. I had the time to discover Algarve and Faro can let yo feel in a few days part of the City, small pretty and secure for the women.

It was a great experience! My schedule was work 3 days (from 10:30 to 14:30) and then take 1 day off. The place was very organized and my colleagues were awesome. Faro is such a beautiful place to stay and since it's a small city it's very easy to explore by ferry, bus or just walking. This experience has fulfilled my expectations and I highly recommend it!

Sonja, Pedro and Josephina were amazing!! I enjoyed so much my time the guest house working for them. One advice will be to make more activities with the volounteers (like a little gathering once a week for example)nothing too demanding,just to make the volounteers feel more at homešŸ„°

Faro is a small city which will make you feel at home, same as the team running this hostel. The work is manageable and easy, and whether or not you're a first time volunteer you'll be given instructions. When the work is finished, there's a lot of free time to spend visiting places and immersing yourself in the local culture!

I really enjoyed this volunteer experience in Faro. The work is quite easy, Josefina, Sonja and Pedro are also always here to help us if we need anything. All the volunteers have the same working hours which is very convenient to go eat together at lunch and do activities in the afternoon. Overall it was an amazing first experience, i met amazing people and I am very grateful for the time i spent there!
