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.

My stay at the hostel was amazing! The hostel is very social, so that I got to know a lot of cool and interesting people, and the city itself is fascinating too. Regarding the accomodation, volunteers have their own apartment 2 minutes away from the hostel, and sleep in regular (not bunk) beds. As for the team, the owner, Unkas, is amazing; if he sees that you are committed during your shift he will really open his heart to you! Also Edin is a very nice and fun guy, and being older than me he even thought me some life lessons :-). Overall, the experience is 100% recommmended!!!
