Igor is generous, open minded and no bullshat. I really enjoyed my stay here, there were lots to do around the area and only a short commute to the city centre. Cleaning the bathrooms and making the beds were a very small commitment for a lovely experience. If you can take direction, have initiative and are open, I'd recommend this. Igor lays it to you straight, gives healthy guidance and feedback and it's very simple work, and easy to do well for a good time, and great company. Thank you Igor & Co. for a fantastic stay, I hope to visit again in the future!!

The hostel felt like home since the first moment. Well located, quiet and cozy place. Igor is a generous man and responsible for creating a chill and respectful vibe in the house. My whole experience in Zagreb has been great mostly thanks to these legends.

I don't want to write a good review because if I do so, I'm afraid this place gets popular and I won't be able to come back... But I can't help it! I never would have expected that it would be so wonderful. From the place itself to Igor and Konrad and the other volunteer. It's a home, a beautiful home painted from top to bottom, full of books, drawings and notes from lots of guests over the years that underscores my words. Doing the bathrooms, the dishes and beds, wasn't a big deal compared with what I gained by being here. I felt more in home than at mine. That's what I learnt about myself.

I had a great experience, i found everything i was looking for at the hostel. Learning English, improve my communication skills and autonomy for the very first time away from home. The task were easy, and i think that anyone can do them, just with right amount of respect, responsibility and attention. Igor and Konrad were very polite, respectful and funny at the same time. I really recommend it if you are looking for these kind of experiences.

It had a wonderful atmosphere, everyone was friendly and open. The tasks were manageable and didn't take as long as stated. Igor and Konrad we're always fair and correct towards me. There was a downside: another volunteer crossed my physical boundaries and didn't stop when asked him to. It wasn't sexual, but I don't like being constantly touched by someone I don't know or trust, and he didn't respect that. This experience ruined almost all of my stay, made me feel vulnerable, and disgusted with both myself and him. I would recommend the hostel, just not with the volunteer(s) at that time.

Simone, things like that must be reported to me immediately, it's not good that i find that out after you left, and now it's too late. I will, however, recommend a very good remedy for the future: if you decide to keep such things to yourself with guys that keep pestering you like that, here's what you do - a proper kick in the balls and you'll see how quickly they're sorted.
Stay well and all the best.
