It was my first Worldpackers experience and it was perfect. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to connect with other travellers, because it's a really lively hostel with a great atmosphere. All of the staff is nice and working with them was super fun.

Really enjoyed my time here, the staff and other volunteers were all really helpful and friendly. For any volunteers going in the future it might be wise to learn some of the basics in Portuguese to help you while you're there although it's totally do-able without aswell

I had the opportunity to volunteer at Hostelicious and it was a very enriching experience. The work is not easy – it requires dedication, effort and a willingness to learn. But I can say that every challenge is worth it. Thank you for all your support. A special thanks to the housekeeping manager, Leandra and the team, Taina, Cassio, Fabián, Luyanne and to chef Maurico and his team, Fabian and Tida. <3 Hope to see you there in the summer

I had the most amazing time in Faro. This was my first Worldpackers experience and was one of the most fulfilling months I've ever spent. I really wanted to immerse myself into Portuguese culture, meet people from all over the world, share amazing nights with them and this hostel gave me just that. You meet a lot of locals despite staying in a hostel. If you want to learn Portuguese, no better place than here. Faro is a quaint town in the winter months and gives you a fresh break from the chaos of the big cities. Highly recommend!

I had a great time at Hostellicious during February, and despite being a low season, was an amazing experience because of the staffs, volunteers and guests. Even the shifts were easy and enjoyable while we worked with friends. I had a lot of free time and I met incredible people there. The location is perfect and you are not far away from the bars and clubs. I highly recommend Hostellicious and I hope to come back soon and visit the friends that I made there.
