I had a great time staying at Casa dlagoa ! Even though I could only stay for two weeks, it was a really good experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, the people were great, and I really enjoyed being part of the team.

Volunteering at the hostel was honestly an experience I'll never forget. From the beginning, I felt so welcomed and comfortable. The hostel has such a warm and familiar atmosphere, mostly thanks to the amazing people who work there. Helena, the reception team and the cooks from both hostels were always kind and lovely. They really made it feel like a little home. The working hours are great, leaving plenty of time to explore Faro. The work is simple and a beautiful way to meet people from all over the world and share special moments. ❤️

Being a volunteer at the hostel / Hostellicious has been an amazing experience!!! All the staff, volunteers, and guests were always so kind and welcoming. I've met so many wonderful people from all over the world and made unforgettable memories. The hostel is cozy, friendly, and has such a familiar atmosphere that makes you feel at home. The tasks were pretty easy, and having two days off each week was perfect for exploring the beauty of the Algarve. I'm really grateful for this experience and would definitely recommend it to everyone!

Volunteering at the hostel and Hostellicious was so fun. Faro is such a nice place to stay and the vibe is very chill. The hostel has a lot of areas to hang out with people or sit alone if you'd prefer. I met so many interesting people during my stay between the other volunteers and the guests. The work itself is very reasonable, mostly helping with hostel dinners. Would come back in a heartbeat!

I believe this is the third or fourth time I've volunteered, and I've always been well received. I want to thank everyone once again for the welcome and hospitality, especially Helena for trusting me. I'm going to take advantage of this summer to visit other places, but I'll be back soon.
