The past month volunteering at Tillia hostel was a wonderful experience. The owner Jennifer and her employees are very kind people and they're very committed to make the hostel an amazing experience for the guests and volunteers. The tasks are not difficult and everyone is happy to help or answer any questions. The hostel itself is beautiful. Jennifer has done an amazing job maintaining the building and the kitchen is one of the best I've ever seen. Within a month, I was able to see so much of faro and the Algarve. This is an experience I will never forget. Thank you Tillia

The hostel was very clean and had a homely vibe and Jennifer was very sweet and understanding. It was possible to leave earlier when I finished my tasks early and also it was possible to ask for specific days off. The night shifts were very tiring since you have to clean the hostel and the next day, at least for me, I didnt have much energy. As a downside for me, November was a bit off season for Faro, so there weren't many people and activities at the hostel. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend it, maybe even better in the summer 🌞😊

This was my first volunteering experience and i am more than happy with it. The hostel is cozy and homely, the staff is super cute and welcoming. Faro is a super cute and chill city, everything is close to the hostel. The work is easy and most of the times you work even less then agreed upon, so there's plenty of time to explore the city and the Algarve. I loved my time there very much and i know i'll be missing it a lot. Lots of love to the whole team!
