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.

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!

The hostel it's one of the gems in Sarajevo, my experience volunteering here was nice especially because the staff (and volunteers), the please is cozy and good energy, the guests are nice and easy to hangout and meet new people. The place is in the city center, so is easy to move around. The working hours and days off are respected and Unkas the owners it's really flexible about these. Not everything was perfect but overall my experience was really nice, I leave loving the city and the locals.
