I had a great experience at the hostel overall, it's important to note that both me and Unkas are aware that not everything went perfectly all the way. I agreed on staying one extra week to help out and I wouldn't have done it if I had bad things to say about this place. Tasks are fair and easy. Sleeping arrangements can be a little off sometimes. Good communication is a must for me, and I struggled sometimes with this matter. If you're tolerant and openminded you will easily find your way around. Sarajevo is a wonderful city and the hostel has the perfect location.

Overall my stay at the hostel was a really good experience. The hostel is really social making it easy to meet other travellers. All of the staff were really nice and helpful, and the other volunteers were great. Sarajevo is a beautiful city with plenty of things to do. It would have been good to know beforehand that I would be staying at an apartment 10 mins away from the hostel with no wifi but it did end up being nice to have lots of space and my own room. Unkas, the owner was overall really helpful and cares a lot about his hostel but at times could be condescending in the way he spoke.

My time at the hostel did not go as expected but A few people from the staff, Jure and Adna helped me through my short stay at the hostel and were very kind. I saw the host interact very well with guests. Nevertheless, I would not recommend this place to anyone who'd like to volunteer. Hours are not respected, the host will sometimes relocates guest and volunteers to share an apartment he says he owns a 10 min walk away uphill, and breakfast isn't included unless asked for then he will give money, not food. Had to ask for WP insurance after he made me feel uncomfortable and yelled at me.

It was a mostly enjoyable experience. The host was quite short and a little rude at times. It was fun to interact with the employees, other volunteers and guests. The hours where more than the listed amount, and the accommodation was interesting, as we didn't have a set bed so regularly had to move round and multiple times stay off site.

I had such a great time meeting wonderful guests & making new friends in this hostel. Faris & Amina were so fun to work with! ! Working hours varied, but usually I worked 5 hours reception/cleaning in the day and 2 hours at the bar at night. My “days off” included a night bar shift as well. I feel that better communication skills would have improved my experience. I received contradictory instructions at times, and it felt difficult to satisfy the host with my work, who struggles to express criticism in a respectful manner. Overall I'm grateful for the friends I made and time I spent here!

I had such a nice time in the hostel. During 3 weeks I met lots of international guests, got to know the local culture and to visit the cities of Mostar, Jajce, and República of Sprska. I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to get to know Bosnia. The shifts are 5 hours long and everything is flexible and arrangable, which allows you to do some sight seeing in the city during the date (or night). Also you get one full day off per week which allows you to do day trips. The hostel team is amazing and will always check out you are comfortable and doing fine 🤍

It was a great experience. Sarajevo is a great city with lots of things to do, specially in summer. The vibe in the hostel with other travellers is really nice, you make friends inmediately and it feels like you know them from a lifetime. The hostal and the installations are pretty good and everything is clean. The work is not hard. The hostal is nearby the city centre, so everything is walking distance, including the bars and the clubs. If you want more info about my experience don't hesitate in contact me. :)
