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!!!

This was Emma and I's first experience volunteering and it was such a fun time! Everyone was nice, the work was easy and the shifts were often quite enjoyable. It was also nice to stay in the apartment as it meant downtime was more restful. Unkas was very kind and generous to us and by the end we were very sad to be leaving the hostel and Sarajevo itself (such an awesome city)!

This was a great experience! I highly recommend to fellow travelers who want to socialize in a relaxed environment and explore an extremely interesting city. Unkas cares a lot about his volunteers and always makes sure everyone is happy. He is very easy to talk to and is super flexible. The workload is very manageable and is rotated a bit so it's quite fair. The bar shifts are of course the most fun. The volunteers stay in an apartment a block away which is very spacious and has a beautiful view from the terrace. Overall I really enjoyed my time there and I would love to come back!
