My time at Casa d'Alagoa was awesome! It was my first time ever volunteering/travelling abroad, and I'm very happy to have been with the hostel team. Work is split between housekeeping and dinner/breakfast shifts. The housekeeping is hard! But it goes by fast and the housekeeping staff are very kind. Bring water, fan, bandaids! The dinner shifts are super fun, social and engaging with delicious food. The room at Casa is hot! Communication between staff/volunteers was sometimes unclear, but the team is great and easy to work with. Overall I had an amazing time, can't wait to go back! :D

Working at the hostel was my first experience with volunteering, and I'm amazed by this opportunity! At first, it was a bit challenging because I'd never done housekeeping before, but after a couple of days, I started helping with the dinner service every night. It was incredible! It's a great opportunity to meet new people who come as guests, as well as the staff working there. During the day, I had plenty of time to do whatever I wanted,and in the afternoon/evening, I was in charge of the dinners and specials events. I highly reccomend trying this experience!

Lovely staff, amazing food, a clean hostel and many travelers to meet. Volunteering at the hostel was all in all an amazing experience, but I recommend not staying for too long because there isn't much to do in Faro after a few days.

It was a great pleasure to volunteer at the hostel, the staff was very attentive and friendly. The structure of the Hostel is incredible. The working hours are respected. To get to the nearest beach you need to take a 30-minute ferry, the city is small but offers everything: shopping mall, cinema, markets, airport, bus station and nearby train. I thank you with all my heart to have the opportunity to be there and meet such special people. ❤️

I had a great time staying at the hostel. The staff is lovely and make you feel home. The work was as it was agreed. The only point that could be improve would be the communication and the planning of the shift. But I definitly recommend that experience !

I had a great time in Faro. my arrival was very chaotic and no one knew I was arriving even though I texted with the hostel on WhatsApp. I arrived at the hostel but was sent to Casa d'alagoa because there's the room for the volunteers. Very small, no windows, no bed curtains, you can't lock the door, noisy air conditioning. There is a fixed work schedule, you work in both hostels, instructions for housekeeping not always clear because the cleaning staff only speak Portuguese. I Had to make pancakes twice a week, which was great. If there were any problems,a solution could always be found

Faro is an authentic portuguese town. It gets a bit repetitive but you can easily go to other cities on your days off. Despite applying for the hostel, I had to move to their sister hostel Casa D Alagoa. The room was too small for 4 volunteers without a window (but AC). The facilities were great and clean. Because of the language barrier the housekeeping was hard at times. I liked the dinner shifts the most, as I could socialize with the guests and was responsible for good vibes. There were some organization issues that could be improved. Will never forget this special experience, obrigada!

Volunteering at the hostel was such a good experience, and I'm so grateful to have been able to do it. They are great hosts and made me feel very comfortable and welcome, they were very understanding and supportive of if something wasn't working out. If your looking for a relaxed experience, to have some chill time, and get to know a little Portuguese town this is a good option
