First of all thank you. I had a really great time here. The team I worked with were very friendly and helpful. The work was simpel and easy to handel. The shifts I worked always suited me. Everytime I had lunch there it was delisious. Faro is a beautiful place to stay. We got in touche with a lot of people there and there are all amazing. I really can recommend this volunteer work there.

This was my first WP experience, and I had a great time! I met a lot of amazing people and formed new friendships, and Faro is a nice city. I sometimes had to work at the other locations which was a nice change, and the lunch we had together was always good and nice to meet the other volunteers. The training could've been better. Often i was the only one working at a location without a manager or anything, which made it sometimes more difficult. Because of this you sometimes have to learn by making mistakes.

I stayed together with a friend at the central guesthouse. At first we were in a room for four people with two other girls, which was a bit crowded but after asking if two of us could use another room there was no problem. The rooms are pretty simple but a nice size. There were a few small things like rust in the showers (bring flip flops!) & no working oven, schedules only come out at 1 in the night before working, but nothing dramatic. The work is easy and the lunch & the people there were great!

+made friends🥰, +amazing lunch everyday!! (and always a veggie option for me!🙏)&good equipment in the kitchen,+ I could work independently -hostel itself is not as social as I thought bcs the other volunteers where in general more older & minded more there own business, a few didn't spoke good English or just a bit -volunteer rooms, bathrooms where old and partly really broken (showers) -felt like I didn't get all important infos in the training, so I learned by mistakes&time, there was mostly a lot work to do(cleaning shift),felt alone with problems bcs mostly worked alone in the shift

I wanted to share some feedback on my experience. And i hope this feedback is helping moving forward. The space has potential but the atmosphere was disappointing. There wasn't much a volunteer vibe, as many people seemed tired and disconnected. I believe there should be more responsible people doing more guidance for volunteers focusing on collaborating rather than just responsibilities. The lack of group connection and empathy affects the experience.

A vibe realmente melhorou muito desde que foram e de 5 pessoas que vinham para o vosso almoço, triplicou imediatamente no dia que sairam ...coincidência certamente ou não ...como te disse pessoalmente às vezes o problema não está nos outros, mas em nós, neste caso realmente há a possibilidade de o problema estar em mim, mas estatisticamente se 99% das pessoas gostam e os comentários são bons e as expêriencias boas, depois 1% não ... tirem as vossas conclusões.

If your searching for ways to travel longterm in affordable ways this is the perfect option for you. We were welcome from first second and got to know many different people. The daily work was not much to do so we had enough free time. We were able to travel a little bit around the citys next to Faro. We really liked it here and improved many skills and got to know Faro and their kind people.

Good place to volunteer in Faro. A lot of friendly people. You are usually working in a few places not in one.

This was our first volunteer experience and we had a really good time in Faro! Nuno is very nice and if you have problems you can tell him. The work is like it's described and not too hard. We met a lot of amazing people and this is the perfect place if you like to go out and have fun! Faro is a small city but there is enough to experience. Definitely recommend this.

This experience brought me many learnings and good memories. The work and schedule agreed with the host is fulfilled and the place where I slept was a female room where only I and three other volunteers stayed. My time in this volunteer work was mainly marked by the friendships I made. I met many special people, with whom I lived wonderful moments that exceeded my expectations. It was really an amazing experience for me.
