I had a great time in the guest house. I met a lot of lovely people and made many new friends. Everyone was really welcoming and easy to get along with, and I liked how flexible everything was. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would definitely recommend it!

I had the best time in Faro! Nuno and the staff were incredibly welcoming, flexible, and easy-going, making me feel at home from the very beginning. We worked in five different guesthouses, so no two days were the same. The work was straightforward and always filled the required four hours each day. After work, we usually went to the beach or joined other activities, like cooking and sharing meals with the staff and fellow volunteers. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is open-minded, enjoys meeting new people, and doesn't mind cleaning.

Nuno was great and easy going, I was fortunate enough to meet so many amazing people from around the world and learned so much from them. Faro is a beautiful city but there is not much to do in the city itself after going to the beach, the mall, the port, etc, a couple times. Overall would recommend this experience for anyone who is looking to work online, do school online, etc as work hours are not long and well respected and it is a very relaxed and comfortable community/group.
