The hostel is such a warm and welcoming place❤️ Sonja was absolutely the sweetest and her communication was amazing. The work is very straightforward and once you get into a grove are able to complete it within a couple of hours. Basic cleaning jobs around the hostel, like cleaning beds from guests who have checked out and making sure everything looks clean and nice. We had the same tasks everyday and once we finished we were given the rest of the day to do whatever we wanted! Sonja truly is the sweetest person and she really makes you feel home, I would DEFINITELY recommend :)

Sonja was a great host! She was very kind and caring and has a great love for the hostel. The hostel work hours were very simple and the tasks very manageable. She provided fridge and pantry space just for staff and a room with compfy beds. I loved my experience and I'm glad I was able to stay with her!

I've had an amazing stay at the hostel. To be honest, it felt more like a shared accommodation than a hostel, which I really liked!! It was very calm and relaxed. Most guests only stay for one night and there are always two volunteers staying at the same time. The hostel is located directly in the old town of Faro, so it's really nice to be able to go for a walk through the city anytime. Sonja is very nice, she really appreciates your work and communicates clearly. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend volunteering here!🫶

I had a wonderful time staying the hostel hosted by Sonja! She is very welcoming and nice host, who communicates her expectations crearly, which make everything easy and comfortable. She is also genuinely appreciative of help you provide and makes you feel like your contribution matters. The hotel itself is beautiful, cozy and very well-kept. The atmosphere feel less like a typical hostel and more like staying at friend's house for a sleepover. Faro is an incredibly charming place and I think a perfect destination if you want to experience a Portuguese way of life . I loved my time there. ❤️
