This experience was amazing! Pedro and Sonja are so nice and the really care about your wellbeing. The work is easy and you have alot of free time. So I explored almost the whole algarve aswell. The lunch is always great and you meet alot of people there aswell. I would definitely recommend it. In some other reviews I read, people complain about the room. I dont think its that bad but you shouldn't have high expectations. And yes there are cockroaches in the bathroom sometimes.

Pedro and Sonja were lovely hosts! They were always helpful and very kind. The work was easy and didn't take much, and the town of Faro was amazing. I loved my time here :)

This was my first volunteering and I can say it was incredible. The working hours are fair, although the cleaning work is tiring, the days off and the place pays off a lot. The hosts are very attentive, and I was able to meet wonderful people. I loved Faro.

I LOVED my time in Faro. The hours are very fair, 10:30-2:30 and you get one day off after three working. I really enjoyed staying at the Female Hostel as well, I felt so safe and welcome. Also this is a great way to practice Spanish! (More so I found than living in Spain). My only regret is that I couldn't stay longer.

Faro was close to beautiful places like Lagos, Albufeira and Tavira all accessible by train. Faro was small and friendly and the Portugese the guest house was in a good central location. The work was sometimes overwhelming but I found hours good (10-2) and I also made really kind and lovely friends. This was my first experience volunteering so I was super nervous but I had an enjoyable time :)
