I can definitely recommend staying at the hostel as a volunteer! The work is easy and the working hours are respected. The staff and the other volunteers were very nice and the Hostel is close to the city center of Faro, which is also beautiful.

My time volunteering with the hostel was an amazing experience, and it couldn't have been better for my first time. The hostel is beautiful, cozy, and in a great location—both within the city and with easy access to other cities (the train from Faro connects you to most of Portugal). The tasks were fair, and the free time after work, along with the 3 days off, was perfect for exploring the area. The supervisors were super friendly and always willing to help with any issues. I highly recommend it!

I had a wonderful time at the hostel! This was my first Worldpackers experience and I would definitely recommend it. The tasks are explained well and are very simple, making beds, reception, and making breakfast during morning shift. There is plenty of time to explore Faro and other nearby cities before and after your shifts and on days off. Faro also has cute nightlife and volunteers get a great discount at certain bars and a club!

We had a wonderful time at the hostel. Cat, Cainna and the other volunteers made us feel comfortable from the start and explained everything to us. Working hours were respected and the tasks were easy and not exhausting at all. The hostel is relatively small and felt nice and cozy. So we had lots of time to explore the city and its surroundings. There are also options going out which we enjoyed a lot. We loved the time we spend there and all the people we have met. We will miss this place<3

The stay at the hostel was great. The work was easy and how it is described. The volunteer room is good and you're never alone, if you don't want to be. If you want, you can go out a lot to the bars and art house (club). There you can meet locals and tourists. I would definitely recommend the hostel for your volunteering and would like to go back. Thank you to everyone.

All in all I enjoyed my stay in Faro, especially the other volunteers made my time there really great!! However when it comes to the work, I would change some things. The hostel really lives from their volunteers as we did most of the work. Also sometimes they let us do some shifts alone without teaching us all the tasks properly beforehand. I think there should have always been a supervisor in the hostel with us because we as volunteers weren't able to answer all the questions the guests had. Overall the time there was really fun but they could do some improvements.

I had a great time at the hostel! The supervisors were kind and flexible, and I learned a lot at the reception. The vibe with the other volunteers was amazing, we became very close. Sometimes shifts ran longer due to late check-ins, and a few tasks weren't clearly explained at first. But there was also lots of freedom during quiet shifts. The accommodation was basic but cozy. The room was small for six people and we cleaned it ourselves, but overall it was a nice experience!

The best thing about this experience were the other volunteers. The hostel itself is not bad, but it definitely could improve its maintenance and organisation. We volunteers do practically 90% of the work, and it shows. There were many situations in which we were left completely alone and had no previous training on how to handle certain situations. Moreover, the cleaning and housekeeping was left entirely up to us which obviously didn't help the image of the hostel, as we couldn't da rigorous job. All in all I had a fun time and will miss my fellow volunteers, but the hostel needs improving
