The hostel itself was great, centrally located and attracted a very diverse and fun demographic of travellers! My coworkers (other volunteers, and staff, Sara and Edin), were all so beautiful, polite, helpful and fun! Getting along with them and working with them was effortless! I also really love Sarajevo and I'll definitely be back, the place and people are all very special! The work was reasonable and simple for anyone who has worked in hospitality or hostels. I am very grateful for Unkas for allowing me to enjoy a beautiful festive season in Sarajevo.

I had a great time at the hostel. The team there was super welcoming and made lots of great memories around the hostel and in Sarajevo! The tasks were reasonable and the work commitments were mostly respected. During quite times we were allowed to finish early. Our accomodation was in the dorm with guests but we were occasionally allowed to stay in the private room when it was not booked. Overall we had a brilliant time and would definitely consider returning!

It's a fun, social, and fulfilling experience that volunteers who truly love hard work should choose. The friendships I made and the people I met here will always be remembered. It's also nice that volunteers have their own apartment. Greetings to my friend Edin.

Had a good time at the hostel. The team are mostly kind and respectful and none of the work was difficult. The facilities are good and there was plenty of opportunity to meet people and hang out with guests. The reception system is quite outdated but you do get your head around it eventually. Also the schedule is usually only arranged the night before so it could be difficult to plan things in advance. Overall I had a good time though and I would go back.

This was our first workaway and it was a great first experience! Edin and Sara are great, super welcoming and explained our tasks clearly, they were always happy to help. The work was really easy in the winter and we loved hanging out with the guests and had plenty of down time to explore Sarajevo. We are a couple and Uncas made sure our day off was on the same day, and when he could we had the same shifts which was really nice of him. We were given a generous amount for breakfast each week and the accommodation was comfortable, being allowed to use the private room in the hostel when free.

This was such a wonderful first time experience as a hostel volunteer! Unkas, Sara and Edin were so kind and welcoming. They gave me great tips on where to go and what to do/eat during my time here in their country. There wasn't really any training for the position but everyone was more than happy to answer questions and help me when I needed it. It was very learn as you go. It was extremely kind of Unkas to put us volunteers in an apartment. It gave me privacy, safety and respite that a stay in the hostel with guests wouldn't have. Sarajevo was just wonderful to me! I loved my time here!

This was an amazing experience, the tasks are super chill, the hours are respected and the other staff members sara and edin are wonderful. Unkas is a super nice host and easy to work with. Having the seperate volunteer apartment away from the hostel was really nice and a good way to seperate work and fun. also the weekly money we were given for breakfast was more than enough and very generous of unkas. definitely recommend especially if you're new to volunteering as this is a good starting point

Unkas was great! This was my first volunteering experience so I wasn't sure what to expect. The hours are good, the apartment for the volunteers was amazing to have our own space away from work, the staff were so nice. I would recommend Unkas and the hostel to everyone!!

This was my first volunteering experience. Living in Sarajevo for half a month was wonderful. Unkas provided accommodation for the volunteers, an apartment apart from the hostel. The accommodation's location is almost in the heart of the city. The tasks and responsibilities at the hostel were exactly as described on the website says. Moreover, the working hours were always respected. The volunteers were given money on a weekly basis. I really liked this experience. Thank you so much for everything.

I had an amazing time in Sarajevo with Unkas and the team. They are amazing people I had fun to work with. They really made me feel welcomed and appreciated. The tasks were very easy and aligned with the description of the job. As volunteers we lived all together in an appartment few minutes away from the Hostel (because of high season). That was a good surprise. I will probably go back there another time, to work or at least to visit these amazing people. I really recommend this place so you can have a taste of the Bosnian hospitality :)
