I couldn't have a better first Worldpackers experience! Part of my heart is now is in this hostel. I worked on the night shift, from 00h to 08h 2 days in and 2 days off. (Night shift always have the best stories 😂) Great balance! Aline and Roy are a gift. They make you feel at home. They guide all staff on our activities and also always hang out with us on the hostel, with Aline's amazing food and game nights. On our free time we can visit the most amazing beaches EVER! And the hosts often take us to some hidden gems of Algarve. Sunny, their dog, is the soul of this hostel. I'll miss them 💛

The hostel is very well located, right in the heart of Albufeira. It's a very clean and tidy place, it's a great for practicing languages, staff and guests are from multiple countries, so you will definitely get in touch with new cultures and make good friends. There are 3 different shifts you can take, the tasks are clear and they will provide a specific training after your arrival, so you will know what to do. Aline, Roy and beautiful Sunny provide a really nice environment. Aline's food is delicious, and she is always making special dinners for everyone.

Roy and Aline where the best hosts, I would definitely recommend to volunteer with them. They are very clear with the tasks, they help you a lot and make the work dynamic and easier. On your free time there's a lot of things to do in Albufeira, also the hostel has a chill vibe to hang out in it too. Aline and Roy usually make things for everyone to feel at home, like cooking for all and organizing fun activities. I'll definitely go back at least to say hello :)

This was one of the most memorable experiences in my life. In the beginning I was afraid to leave my comfort zone, but the people that I met there made every fear go away and in the end I was feeling part of an amazing group. About the work, Roy and Aline will be always there for you, most of the tasks are easy and ok, and the difficult ones you will get help to do it. What makes everything easier. After this experience I feel like I left part of my family in Albufeira. Ahhh there is also Sunny, the most lovely and beachy dog that you will meet. I miss you all and hope to see you soon :D

Despite having many restrictions due to the covid, the experience in general terms was good, especially cause the cultural exchange. I was able to practice my English and my Portuguese, while doing my tasks at the Reception. I try to keep the good things from each place I go, and from here I take the people I met and the friends I made.

My experience was really good! Definitely the most beautiful, clean and cozy hostel I've ever been to. I was lucky to meet a lot of international travelers, practice languages and start a friendship with the others volunteers. However, the job requires a lot of commitment and energy. But after 8 hours of work, you will be rewarded with a beautiful beach just 5 min walking. I would highly recommend the hostel if you have no problem following rules (there are severel to guests and staff). Thank you Roy and Aline for the opportunity

My experience was overall good! :) The facilities of the Hostel are really amazing, it is one of the most beautiful hostel I have ever been for sure and Albufeira is breathtaking. You will have long hours of work but this is compensated by 2 days off per 2 days worked. The hostel is always perfectly clean and it is one of the most important focus in the daily tasks. Many rules are established in that sense, for volunteers and guests. If you are 100% committed to the work, are responsible and feel comfortable with hard work and rules, this is the perfect place! You will never forget Albufeira!

I agree with almost everything you write, except the "hard work" part. During your 8 hour shift you sat at least 5 hours on your private computer or on your phone and were not working for us. I had no problem with it, because this year there is almost nothing to do because we have much less tourists, but if you consider working here "hard work" then you truly never worked hard in your life.

What can I say? I was at the hostel the previous year as a guest and the atmosphere is so good that I went back to work and the result was one of the best summers of my life. The fact that it was after the quarantine only made things more intense: interactions with guests, the family that the staff became and the relationship with the owners. So many wonderful days at the beach, friendships, great memories. Thanks so much Roy, Aline (and Sunny!) for this unique experience. I wish u all the best for this place and I will definitely be back asap! NO PASA NADA! Com amor, Beto
