Volunteering at the hostel was a great experience! Shifts were as agreed and scheduled a month in advance. The upstairs the hostel is an amazing hangout spot, it's close to the beach, and the team was super welcoming. Sunny, the hostel dog, made the experience extra special.

Im very grateful of my time in OTH, they really treat everyone as a part of a family. The hostel is very well organized, clean and well managed and the work is very easy. The only thing that doesn't fit me very well was the location in the center of Albufeira. Indeed, it's perfect if you are a party person but in my case i found it a bit overwhelming. So if you are more of a chill person i suggest you to find another place. Other than that i would 100% recommend to work for OTH. Thank you for everything i will keep a part of you in my heart ❀️

I absolutely loved this hostel and the staff. Everyone was very welcoming and they offer great facilities for the staff and volunteers. I was working two days (8 hour shifts) and had two days off which was great for me since I had a lot of time to explore during my free time. My tasks were mainly cleaning but also check-outs and check-ins. Shift always started slowly, then a higher pace in the middle when guests checked out, and then ending in a bit slower pace again while waiting for check-ins = a good balance. The hostel really felt like home. I'd come back for sure! 🀩

10 stars!!!... Roy & Aline excellent people. They have a hostel that looks like a 5 ⭐ hotel, it everything up to gym and pool, all the facilities and very complete and in excellent condition. They are very organized people who make things work properly, clean, tidy in a very cozy atmosphere. Instead, They make guests as well as volunteers feel at home... It doesn't say in the program that they provide breakfast but they provide the ingredients... just say that loved it!!.. and it's a shame my time was short.

My experience at OTH was amazing. The hostel is perfectly located, well-organized, and gives you a warm, homely feeling the moment you arrive. Aline and Roy are incredibly generous and kind-hearted people. They even organize shared dinners for the staff and volunteers β€” a great way to bond as a team. The guests were friendly and open, so there was always an opportunity for good company if I wanted it, and plenty of time to explore the beauty of the Algarve. Last but not least: Sunny was always there to brighten up the day with his cuteness and unique personality! Thank you for everything!❀️

The best hostel I've ever stayed at! Beautiful place, organized, super clean, well located. Aline and Roy, you're amazing! You're very fair with the volunteers and go above and beyond to make sure everything runs perfectly β€” and Sunny, of course, makes the hostel even more charming πŸ˜‚ I really wish I could've stayed longer. I hope to come back another year and stay for an entire season.πŸ™‚

Hey Sara,
we also absolutely loved that you stayed with us and although it was only one month we felt very quick that you are a part of our family. We would love to have you back for an entire season ;-)

The hostel was my first volunteering position and I honestly could've not chosen a better place. I had a wonderful time and felt amazingly welcome! I am leaving the place behind, knowing I have small family in Portugal πŸ’—! Will definitely come back 😍🌞!

Thank you so much Laisa. Sorry that I missed the date to give you a review. You stayed with us longer, so I missed it. I just wanted to say that we were super happy to have you as a volunteer and as an amazing person that you are in our hostel / home. You were so helpful. One of the most proactive person that I know. You are now part of our family and our doors are always open to you. See you next summer <3<3<3

The time I spent at the hostel was so much fun! I connected with the team and we had many experiences, from days at the beach to nigh out together, everything you can expect from a summer month. The hours worked are respected and the shifts between working and free days are great for making the most of your days off and getting to know more of the Algarve. Sunny completes the days and is the cutest dog ever. Thank you OTH team for everything! I recommend this experience!
