I had a wonderful time at the hostel! The staff members are really nice and always trying to give you the best volunteering experience as possible. The work was not hard and especially the bar shift gives you the opportunity to socialize and get to know amazing people. I met really dear friends among the other volunteers, staff and guests which made it really hard to leave after the 4 weeks were over. There is plenty of beautiful places to visit around Faro by car or train and enough free time to do so. Faro is very calm but has a very fun and active night life. I would definitely recommend the hostel!

I had an amazing time at the hostel! It was my first volunteering experience and it did not disappoint : the shifts are pretty easy (mainly cleaning/reception/bar) and leave a lot of free time to explore the surrounding of Faro and meet others travelers. All the members of the staff are super nice and the others volunteers became real friends. As a volunteer, you will have others advantages as a free surf lesson/ a free tour to the beautiful Benagil caves and others discounts... I definitely recommend!

This was my first worldpackers volunteering and it was a wonderful experience! The hostel is graceful and placed in a convenient position. The work is 5 hours per day, 5 days per week, and it can be cleaning in the morning, reception/bar in the evening and the night shift. The volunteers sleep in a 5 people staff room (it's possible that a new volunteer has to spend the first few nights in a different room). The team is very nice and ready to help you when you need anything, while the other volunteers became a second family to me. I definetly recommend everyone to volunteer at the hostel!

I had such a great time at the hostel! The place is beautiful and very welcoming. I enjoyed spending time with the other volunteers and the guests and I've had some very good conversations with the staff members, it's such a cool team! For me as an introvert it was a challenge to share a room with four others and being around people all the time, but it was also a great learning opportunity. I liked Faro very much, it's calm and there's a lot of beautiful places to explore. I also recommend to take advantage of the things you can do for free or get a discount on, the surfing class was great!

Had a fantastic month in Faro, it is the quiet part of the season so it was a very zen. The hours go as 8-13pm -morning shift which is cleaning the rooms, 7-12am -evening shift can be bar or reception, the night shift which is 12am-7am. There is a lot of flexibility on hours, if you wish to swap etc and I appreciated that our free time was our free time. The hostel is really central, it has a bike for short trips and there are different activities that you can sign up for eg. Surfing just ask reception. All in all it was a lovely month and Jennifer was a gracious host, as was the rest of them!
