Being at the guest house was like being at home :) made lots of friends and enjoyed the work. The work was easy and I did it with pleasure. Nuno and the team are fantastic they feel like family. It's good to know that I have a place in faro to return when I'm missing it :) recommended.

I did reception shifts and felt a bit thrown into the cold water with it at first, especially as a non Portuguese speaker, but by time I got more comfortable so it was a big learning for me! At my time I was almost the only non Portuguese speaking volunteer, so I thought it was a very good idea that we shared the daily lunches with another hostels' volunteers which had more English speakers. Everyone was very kind and I made a lot of friends to hang out in and around Faro! Accommodation could have been better in my opinion, everything was quite run-down and wasn't kept clean that well.

I didn't have a good experience at this place, neither did my friend Lívia. The location (Faro) is nice, and the people we met at the hostel were lovely. However, the work and the manager were extremely difficult. The job is very exhausting, especially for those assigned only to cleaning, as there are many rooms and no fixed staff dedicated solely to that task. In other words, all the volunteers are responsible for cleaning the entire hostel. Another issue is that the owner is very impatient and rude. He talks a lot but doesn't listen, and constantly complains about the work we do, no matter

O proprietário é desagradável para pessoas mentirosas e preguiçosas, que com3 quartos pra fazer se escondem pra não fazer nada, tb para quem sai todas as noites e depois tem dor de barriga e não pode fazer o turno, tb para quem mente que vem viajar e está no pais a trabalhar ilegalmente, pra quem sai de um dia para outro assim sem aviso, pra quem apesar de se queixar depois de ser despedida por incompetência e preguiça aguda, mendiga alojamento em outro dos meus hosteis para ficar lá escondida.

I enjoyed a lot the experience. Faro is a small but beautiful city, with a lot of beaches (a bit far but worth it) and a fun nightlife. The work was easy and calm and the host, Nuno, was great with us. Him and the other volunteers made us feel at home. I highly recommend this experience because I met really special people that I'll never forget and I learned new useful skills.

My experience at the guest house was very good. Nuno is a great host, he has always been very flexible and has always adhered to the right working hours. The job is simple to learn, even for those with no experience; the team is super welcoming and immediately made me feel part of the family. I highly recommend this experience!

Unfortunatelly I could not complete my experience with them, but the days that I was there were amazing. Nuno is a great host. Everyone was welcoming, attentive and friendly. Meal time was a great way to connect to fellow volunteers and make new friends. The accomodation was confortable and we had a great structure in our well equiped staff kitchen.

The guest house was a wonderful place! I had a really good month here and even though I had a bit of a language barrier because I don't speak Portuguese we still made it work because the other volunteers are wonderful to try and speak English and make you feel welcome and at home. I had a lot of fun and I definitely recommend applying here! The work is fair and easy to understand and Maristela was so sweet and good to show me how to do it! The lunch is super good!!!
