I spent the whole month of July at the hostel and I honestly couldn't have dreamed of a better place. The team is incredibly welcoming, kind and generous — they truly make you feel at home from day one. The energy of the place is so special: calm, cozy, and vibrant all at once. Guests come in as strangers and leave as friends (and it's not just a slogan — it's real!). I'm deeply grateful for everything I've experienced here. It's a place you'll carry in your heart long after you leave.

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.

Hey Cuyler, I just realized that I didn´t write you a review. I´m so sorry about that. You were an absolute champ. You exceeded all expectations. You are super clever, calm in every situation. Very proactive. Super nice person to guests and staff. We wish you all the best and if you decide to volunteer in the Algarve again, we would love to have you back!. Enjoy your adventures.

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.
