The lodge Franko is an the lodge not a resort , please keep that in mind before applying for that experience, because if you need comforts, you won't be suitable for going there. Life in the lodge can be really hard sometimes, and getting Sarajevo takes a while without a car. If you go there aiming to appreciate simple things you'll have an extraordinary experience like I had. The nature and the air quality are wonderful, the local people are extremely kind and welcoming, I met so nice folk and spend excellent moments with the others volunteers. Thank you Primoz for the opportunity!

Was a nice experience living and sharing with people in a the lodge. Primoz and Goga was very kind with all the staff and the local people is very nice! I recommend this place to live a different experience and enjoy the beautiful views of Sarajevo. I'm completely grateful with them and I hope to see them again. Thank you for everything!

I left the lodge but the lodge won't ever leave from me. It's really a magical place in the middle of the woods, with an incredible view, peace and the owners are so nice people. It's literally an opportunity to connect with yourself and nature. There's no bathroom but for me showering at night under the moon's light was just magical. I hope I can get there anytime soon,it's an experience you don't want to miss. Thanks for the opportunity, the best volunteering ever!!!

Pimoz picked me up and took me to his the lodge. The view was amazing day and night, and you have it every day, that's crazy. You get a lot of free time. And a lot of fun, on the weekends we drank some beers with primoz and other hikers and get told incredible stories. The food there was very good. Beans and chicken soup every weekend and I loved it. You have to go there and experience it yourself, it's absolutely worth it.

I had a really great experience at the lodge Franko, the place is amazing if you wanna be in touch with nature, the view is credible, you meet a lot of local people and the work is chill. The only complicated thing is the bathroom and hygiene

Minha experiencia nesse voluntariado foi ótima! O local é lindo, bem afastado da cidade mas para quem busca um voluntariado mais tranquilo, é perfeito. Nos dias de semana são bem tranquilo, finais de semana são bem corridos. Não tem chuveiro ou toalete, pra lavar roupa também é um pouco complicado porque não tem máquina de lavar e nem tanque. Mas mesmo assim minha experiência foi incrível! Espero voltar um dia ❤️

The experience was okay but the description for World Packers needs to be amended. There is no running water and electricity is only available when it is sunny due to the solar panels. 'Free Laundry' also means hiking 30 minutes down the lodge to a pipe and washing clothes there. The work was as described however where you sleep there is many many bedbugs that had got very out of hand that a professional will need to fix rather than inexperienced volunteers. Will really need to fix! Also the lodge is an hour hiking without a pick up.

So many things... It was rough but s nice experience, when you live there in the lodge you learn to appreciate the daily things like a proper toilet or shower jajaja... Living in the lodge was better than I expected, the customers that go there are really nice and kind, always eager to have a good conversation about anything. It's really relaxing being there... And, like in the other commentaries; there is no shower, the toilet is a hole in the ground so I would say that this volunteering is for the brave ones and not picky persons. I met great people up there that I would like to see again.

This experience has great potential! It is very remote so take that into consideration, but it is great to get in touch with nature, hike Sarajevo, and talk to locals. I would 100% recommend but take into consideration the toilet is not necessarily a "drop" toilet, it is more a hole in the ground where you squat over, so sometimes it can be a bit smelly and you have to push the remains to the side to make room so the toilet can continue to be used and not overflow.

This was my first experience with work exchange and it was definitely an amazing one! Primož is an amazing guy who takes care of everyone, made me feel like I was back home in Brazil. I didn't work at the lodge, but had the opportunity of helping him build a new house, I had so much fun learning more about it with other volunteers. The work is not difficult and if you do your part you'll be compensated for that. As long as you respect and help everyone, clean after yourself and is not selfish and lazy, be sure you will have a great time with Primož like I had!
