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.

I had a fantastic experience in the hostel. The shifts were pretty easy, the owner and Edin were very kind with me and during my volunteering I had the opportunity to meet a lot of people very interesting. Sarajevo is a lovely city with a lot history and local people were wonderful. Highly recommended.

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!

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!!
