I had a lovely time in Bar during my stay with the chill laid back atmosphere of the hostel. Emre was a great host, was very flexible with our schedules, respected the work hours, and provided a thorough training for our roles. You will have plenty of time to explore Bar and tbe surrounding areas with the shift schedule. Since Montenegro is quite a small country I was able to take the buses and trains to see multiple coastal cities. It was also a huge pro that all food for meals was provided; we did a shopping list twice a week so that was perfect as well. Would definitely recommend!

It was my first volunteering experience, and it will most likely remain one of the best. Bar is a place that offers you a peaceful small-town life with both its nature and sea. The hostel is small and cute, and all your needs have been considered. It's also very clean and well-organized. Emre is very attentive and puts effort into making sure volunteers have a good experience. He also gives great recommendations so you can explore Montenegro in your free time. The job is exactly as described—Emre is very respectful of the set working hours. I hope I can visit again :”)

This has been a very wonderful experience for me; the hostal has all the commodities you need and its peaceful. Tasks are very simple and clear: housekeeping, cleaning in general, doing check ins. Emre is a great host; communicative, taking care of volunteers needs. He buys food per week and you cook. Also he gives a lot of recommendations to visit in Bar. Thank you Emre!

I had a peaceful and relaxing stay at the hostel, the hostel is comfortable, spacious, and clean. The work is as described and the schedule is agreed upon weekly. Flexibility is key as sometimes hours are not decided until the night before. Emre welcomes feedback. He gives great recommendations for exploring Montenegro and there is plenty of time to do so on free days. Bar has a lot to offer, and nearby cities are easily accessible by train and bus. I would recommend this experience to anyone who wants to explore Montenegro, live the Balkan lifestyle, and relax. Thank you, Emre!

My stay in Bar was a great experience. Emre is kind and welcoming and the location is lovely. The tasks were explained well and were very simple. The hostel is not large and never took more than 2 hours to clean. It's a modern building with excellent facilities and no more than a 15 minute walk into town. I have no complaints and would happily volunteer here again.
