My experience in the guest house was super chill π The tasks are easy to learn, you will have to know some places so you can recommend to guests, nothing too hard tho, just a few restaurants and places nearby to go for the day. The staff is super friendly and so are the managers, kind, flexible and open to receive feedback, they give you the opportunity to make improvements if they are needed. I stayed at the main house and was super nice, everything was clean and tidy. I highly recommend this place if your are looking for a chill experience, is a place to relax, enjoy the pool and Faro π€

My stay at the guest house in Faro was my first volunteer experience and overall a good one. The working hours were as described, giving me lots of time to explore the Algarve. Since they're still new to hosting volunteers, there were some changes and occasional communication issues in the team, but I believe this will improve with time. My accommodation was a short walk from the guesthouse, which was totally fine. However, the bathroom was sometimes not very clean, and I always had to get toilet paper from the guesthouse. Despite that, I'm grateful for the experience.

I had a very pleasant experience at the guest house. Anand and Ana welcomed me very warmly. They are very kind and welcoming. I felt comfortable doing my job at the reception. The house is very nice, especially the swimming Pool and the very functional kitchen. The people who work there are very friendly, and the volunteer room is very comfortable. I highly recommend this experience.

I had a really nice month in Faro volunteering at the guest house. The entire staff at the guesthouse are really friendly and I felt very welcome throughout my stay. You can always ask for help if you have any problems and all the staff are ready to help and make sure you feel comfortable at the guesthouse. The work is easy and the working hours are respected, so I had plenty of time to explore Faro, the whole Algarve region and even further afield in Portugal.

I really enjoyed my stay in Faro at the guest house. Anand and Ana Carla were really welcoming and nice bosses. You either stay in hostel nearby or at the guest house. I got to stay at guest house which was beautiful with the pool, jacuzzi and other nice amenities. Work hours were respected and easy. I got lot of time to explore other places than Faro. Go for it :)
