This was a great experience, I really appreciate the time I spent here. This experience allowed me to get to know the city and culture on another level. The accommodation was great and included curtains in a shared room with other volunteers. The tasks were fairly easy. However I would have liked the schedule to be a bit more consistent. It is easy to work when you're on the premises and not on schedule. The only con I have is that if you are a digital nomad like me, there isn't really a great spot to work without being distracted by others. Other than that, Unkas was a very kind host.

The tasks are simple and not demanding, which leaves free time to explore Sarajevo. Very good location, and the money given for breakfast is generous and enough to cover daily meals. Unfortunately, the working environment can be stressful. The host's attitude can become aggressive, and responses can be disrespectful, often with a harsh tone and raised voice. Treating sometimes volunteers as if we are incapable or stupid. Communication is difficult and leads to tension. Mary has a cold and unfriendly attitude. With more respectful treatment, this experience could be much better.

Evelin is a person who has to be told what to do all the time. There were two volunteers next to her, and she always blamed the other one, and it was difficult for us to communicate.
I hope that in time she will gain enough experience and be a good volunteer.

I had such a great and rewarding time volunteering at the hostel for 7 weeks! I was there in the off-season so I did not stay at the apartment, but volunteers had their own space in the hostel apart from guests. It was a great experience I would easily do again. I will say sometimes you are at the whim of what the owner decides but Unkas is a very fair host who is willing to work with you to have a great time. Communication is generally very good and I would easily repeat the experience over and come back anytime!

This hostel is absolutely the best in Sarajevo. It has such a great atmosphere which is reflected in the attitudes of the staff and visitors. This also makes it easy to meet new people. The location is central, close to both the old town and newer areas. The working hours and days off are respected by Unkas, and he is pretty flexible about scheduling. There is a bit of room for improvement in communication about tasks but I think that it had more to do with the fact it was the off season and there was therefore less to do. Overall it was a fantastic experience and I would highly recommend!
