Volunteering at this hostel felt like a home, the hosts were beyond nice they truly made us feel like we belonged there! The tasks were so easy and even if we did have questions everyone was happy to help, there was no such thing as a silly question. The hosts also gave us great recommendations on what to do on our days off, where to eat good Bosnian food and they even taught us a few Bosnian words! Thank you Denis, Ivan & Alysa for your hospitality :))

I had a great experience at the hostel. Ivan, Denis and Alisa were welcoming as staff and I enjoyed my time with them. The tasks are standard for hostels, and I have to agree with other reviews, the location is excellent. My fellow volunteers were fun and respectful, and I made friendships I hope will last. This is something I will never forget :)

My experience in Sarajevo and the hostel was incredible from the first moment. I am very grateful for the work team that I had because they made my time in the city wonderful. It is definitely a place that I recommend because it is a beautiful city and Ivan, Denis and Alisa are going to make your stay at the hostel very enriching.

It is our pleasure that we have been able to work with Juan, who has been one of the most exceptional volunteers we've ever had the privilege to work with. From day one Juan consistently went above and beyond what was asked of him. He brought a level of reliability, initiative, and positivity that elevated the entire team. Not only was he efficient and organized, but he also brought warmth, kindness and a collaborative spirit to everything he did.
He will always be welcomed back to our family!

I 100% recommend volunteering here. A very warm human group, the tasks are really to help the stuff, plus the environment is like an old renovated house, plus the rest you will feel at home. The location of the hostel is excellent, in the center of the city. You will have one day off a week and they are flexible about your day off if you agree in advance and the tasks can be reception or cleaning, but nothing heavy, it's really a volunteering. I will always be grateful to Alisa, Aida, Denis, Ivan and my roommate Luisa.

My experience at the hostel was absolutely wonderful! Ivan and the team made me feel so welcome at the hostel and in Bosnia, and I felt so respected and supported there. It's a smaller hostel with only a handful of employees, and thus has such a close-knit vibe that made it feel like a second home to me by the end! And Sarajevo is such an amazing city that I could never get tired of exploring. I absolutely recommend volunteering here, both for the great culture at the hostel and for the lovely city! A million thanks to the hostel team for everything, I'll carry this with me forever <3
