I stayed 2 weeks at the hostel and had a great time. The work was easygoing and working hours were always respected. I stayed here together with another volunteer and we had the same days off which was very nice because then you could spend these days together. The Hostel is very relaxed and laid-back. Catarina was very nice and welcoming and would always help you if you had any questions! Thank you!

I stayed at the hostel three weeks and loved my experience there. the hostel is quite small and pretty quiet but it has everything you need and feels like home🥰 Catarina and Agustin are super the hostel and help you immediately with any questions regarding the hostel and your work, as well as giving you recommendations for what you can do in faro and the hostel region. There was always one other volunteer with me and we even got the same days off which was perfect for doing day trips together! Thank you Catarina, Sara, Lina and Agustin, I had a very good time🤍
