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 — 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 — and Sunny, of course, makes the hostel even more charming 😂 I really wish I could've stayed longer. I hope to come back another year and stay for an entire season.🙂

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 ;-)
Enjoy your summer and future adventures.
Aline, Roy and Sunny ;-)

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 💗! Will definitely come back 😍🌞!

My experience couldn't be better… I have this team as sisters and brothers from now and I am truly glad for everything! Roy and Aline are super nice and helpful. Sunny is the kindest dog in this world and the house feels like home. Struggling to say goodbye 🩵

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
