So many things... It was rough but s nice experience, when you live there in the lodge you learn to appreciate the daily things like a proper toilet or shower jajaja... Living in the lodge was better than I expected, the customers that go there are really nice and kind, always eager to have a good conversation about anything. It's really relaxing being there... And, like in the other commentaries; there is no shower, the toilet is a hole in the ground so I would say that this volunteering is for the brave ones and not picky persons. I met great people up there that I would like to see again.

This experience has great potential! It is very remote so take that into consideration, but it is great to get in touch with nature, hike Sarajevo, and talk to locals. I would 100% recommend but take into consideration the toilet is not necessarily a "drop" toilet, it is more a hole in the ground where you squat over, so sometimes it can be a bit smelly and you have to push the remains to the side to make room so the toilet can continue to be used and not overflow.

This was my first experience with work exchange and it was definitely an amazing one! Primož is an amazing guy who takes care of everyone, made me feel like I was back home in Brazil. I didn't work at the lodge, but had the opportunity of helping him build a new house, I had so much fun learning more about it with other volunteers. The work is not difficult and if you do your part you'll be compensated for that. As long as you respect and help everyone, clean after yourself and is not selfish and lazy, be sure you will have a great time with Primož like I had!

I had a great time at the lodge Franko. I would love to go back someday. Best views of Sarajevo and plenty of chance to meet locals and internationals. Just be sure to clean up after yourself and don't drink too much rakija and you'll get on smoothly :)

It was a great experience I had! This place was so incredible, beautiful, the animals, nature, everything was awesome! The job was pretty simple, you only have to take care about the clients who come there to drink something, rest or whatever. Take care about the house and keep everything clean and of course take care about the dog Dexter and the cat Max. The week days it's pretty chill and there's no much to do, the weekends it's more busy so you gonna have a lot of time to walk around the lodge. Keep in mind there's no bathroom there! It's great to keep in touch with the nature!

For me this was very good. I got to meet all kinds of people that are local, or traveling on the lodge. Very beautiful nature for hiking and the people are great. There's also a cat and dog to keep company on the slower days it's a nice balance of alone time and being around people

Priner volunteering in an incredible place. Very grateful to Primoz and Gora for their hospitality. The tasks of the place are; Reception and attention to the lodge walkers (guess), on the days that they are not there they must take care of the pets, feeding them and taking them out to relieve themselves. The city is about 13 kilometers away and it is not to visit daily. (time and costs) Primoz is an excellent chef so they will eat well. They will enjoy a great human quality of the guess who are in the majority very good and kind people. Note, if possible, bring something for your personal hygi

First I wanna thanks Primož and Gorana for hosting me there. It was an amazing time, very chill, relaxing yet very thrilled. I got to say, for those that really want to connect with the nature, this is the perfect spot. Everything, the locals, the landscape, the forest, the history and the lodge, it was an amazing experience. The tasks there were very simple, just keep the house clean, socialize and keep the eyes on Dexter(I loved this dog). Just a reminder, it might be uncomfortable at first, because is at the top of a the lodge, but quickly starts to feel cozy and pleasant to be there. Enjoy!!!

It was a really nice experience. For the first two months I worked building a house and after that I went up to the lodge. It had been a really nice experience where I learned a lot about Bosnia and construction.

If you're looking for a decent place to stay this is it! It's more or less like camping in the bush with the facilities they have but if you can adapt well and like the outdoors it's the place to be
