My stay at the hostel was great! Catarina and the full time staff Augustin and Caline are so helpful and welcoming. The tasks are all very reasonable and the work hours are respected unless there is an emergency with a guest. I loved staying in Faro, it's a smaller city so it's much more relaxed and you feel like a local. It was my first volunteer experience with worldpackers and I would absolutely recommend it to other travelers! Thank you Catarina for an amazing experience 🫶🫶

After some initial confusion around starting dates, I really enjoyed my stay. The hostel is spotless, which volunteers contribute to, and is in a great the hostel. Catarina is a lovely host, and is fun and easy to chat to. Agustín and Caline - the full time staff - are very the hostel too. The work hours are totally respected, and the tasks are simple. I was able to extend my stay, and I would have stayed longer if I could!

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!
