Had an amazing time at the lodge Franko I wish I could've stayed longer! The other volunteers were amazing and Primoz was a great host. He even drove us to da waterfall hike one day and it was amazing. the lodge has the best views and the most gorgeous sunsets. The work was quite simple serving guests drinks and food on weekends. It's like camping so don't expect running water haha (good luck in Valhalla) but it's all part of the experience. Met so many nice locals as well as travellers from all over. I loved my time here and would love to return!!

Volunteering at the lodge Franko was an absolute dream! I learnt so much about Bosnian culture and history through the fascinating and generous locals and made friends I hope to have my whole life. the lodge is in a beautiful location with views over Sarajevo and the mountains across the valley, and the tasks are very simple (making tea and coffee for passing hikers) so you quickly get used to the novelties of the lodge (no running water and a dry toilet). Primoz and Goga were great hosts and I cannot thank them enough for having me as a volunteer!!!

Second time in the lodge and it was even better that ever, seing regulars again, the sunsets, cooking with Primoz, everything was just perfect and as I remembered. This the lodge feels like a second home to me and I can't get enough of it, I will hopefully come back again and will try to enjoy this paradise every year ❣️

Fantastic place! My first volunteer position ever. I learnt more about daily life and the history of Bosnia from all of the lovely people that hike by. If you're into the rugged the lodge life you will feel so at home here. The view is spectacular, the food on weekends is delicious and you have lots of free time. I learnt to crochet by an amazing volunteer Amy. Unforgettable, I want to bring my friends and family and anyone back here as soon as possible.

An out-of-the-ordinary experience, I connected with myself and with nature. I thank Goga and Primoz. Everything was good. At first, it's hard to adapt to the sense of humor, but then you get used to it. Dexter is the guardian and Macs is the bipolar predator. I had an incredible time with great views. Thanks for the meals, very good, and I hope to come back someday.

Primoz was a great host to me and I enjoyed my stay in the lodge and sharing life experiences. One truly learns to appreciate things we take for granted on our everyday life. The job is very easy, requires very little planning and listening to Primoz guidance and advice on the tasks. The views are breath taking and I truly disconnect from the outside world. Great experience! Thank you Primoz

The experience here was amazing. You are surrounded 24/7 by beautiful nature and mountains. The views are incredible. Tasks are simple: keeping the lodge clean, and tidy. Assisting the hikers, preparing and serving drinks. Primoz and Goga are very kind. Definitely recommend for connecting with yourself and nature.

My stay in the lodge Franko was totally different from any other experiences I've had, this was one of the most interesting, also one of the best. Cozy the lodge, amazing views, and sunsets, great hiking spots and fresh air. The work is entertaining and I got to talk to a lot of bosnian people who are extremely welcoming and nice. Primoz and Golga are amazing, I had a lot of fun with the other volunteers aswell. 100% recommended:)

It was my first experience with Worldpackers, a great challenge and a wonderful opportunity to appreciate daily comforts. Magical sunsets and sunrises, I was lucky to witness the first winter snowfalls and enjoy an enriching cultural exchange. If you're looking to disconnect, this is the perfect option. The hosts, Goga and Primoz, are excellent, open-minded people. Be prepared for a dry toilet and plenty of walking—good the lodge shoes are highly recommended. If you have specific dietary needs or love snacks, make sure to bring them from the city. Hvala vam puno the lodge Franko ,Trebevic the lodge!

My experience at the lodge was amazing. I had many peaceful moments, and Primož and Guga were incredible hosts, warm and welcoming from the start. The only thing that was a bit challenging (and not mentioned in the description) was the dry toilet and the lack of a real shower, you heat water and use a cup. I embraced it as part of the adventure, but I believe it would have been more respectful to mention this clearly in the description. But overall was an amazing experience! I strongly recommend it if you truly want to live off the grid and connect more with yourself, nature, and the locals. ?
