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!!!

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!

The city is full of history and culture, people are super friendly and do everything to ensure you have an amazing experience in Sarajevo, and the whole country !! I had a great time at the hostel.. the work is chill (most of the times 😂 when it's busy, it can be more of a rush, but it's still super fine) and the hours are too.. the hostel vibe is great, I met some amazing people while I was there and the whole team is incredible. Thank you Unkas, Edin, Neven and Meri, for all the attention and care.. also, the other two volunteers with whom I shared my time !!!

Volunteering at the hostel was a wonderful experience. Unkas is a kind and dependable person who always provided us with the shift schedule in advance. The tasks were simple, including check-ins, making beds, cleaning, and occasionally assisting with repairs at the hostel. The team was fantastic, friendly, and always offered helpful tips about Sarajevo. The city itself is beautiful, full of history, and home to very warm and welcoming people. The hostel is also great, offering many amenities such as a lovely courtyard and a comfortable living room. Overall, I highly recommend it.
