My experience couldn't be better! Gordana and Biljana are very sweet persons and I passed a great time doing this volunteer. The hostel is in the heart of the old town, the tasks are simple (cleaning, changing the beds and helping with the check-in) and the atmosphere is great. I'm very grateful to have experienced this period in Kotor and I would recommend this volunteer for all of you. It was my first worldpackers experience and I enjoyed. Thanks Gordana and Biljana for receiving me so well :)

It was my first experience, something incredible, I am grateful to Gordona, Bozo, and all his family, they made me feel part of it. The tasks are simple, I did the cleaning, my shift was 4 hours but I always finished before time. My companions Fernando and Vuk were kind,friendly, very active Bozo is integrated as a worker and that makes you feel comfortable. Between the 4 of us we formed an incredible group, each one with his own personality, I have many beautiful memories of this experience. I hope to be able to come back soon Thanks for everything I love you all and I miss you already

I'm having a great time here. The staff are really amazing, so much so that I ended up asking for an extra month. The city is beautiful and there are a lot of nice places around. Definitely a place to come and forget what time of the week it is.

The hostel was nice, with a great location, in the middle of the old center and surrounded by beautiful mountains. About the volunteer, the tasks weren't that hard. I was little bit lonely because the other volunteers left almost at my arrival and there were no others volunteers because they were about to close for the winter season. To be honest, it felt a little bit more as a job, talking about the relation between the host and the volunteer. The owners didn't interact a lot with me, aside from stuff related with work, which didn't make me feel that welcome. I think that could improve.

Kotor is a beautiful city and if you are a volunteer who is specifically looking for a place to stay constantly, this experience is perfect for you because it doesn't allow you to travel a lot around and discover the country since you only have one free day which you cannot choose, its tough to make plans, in addition, in the hostel the work is demanding and generally sometimes you will have to work a little extra because its a busy hostel. It is the perfect place to meet international people and practice your English and my favorite part, the cultural immersion :).

Kotor and Budva are busy places, very touristic even in the off-season. You had 20 hours per day for yourself and one day off. It was perfectly clear from the beginning. Working tasks were so simple (just maintaining the rooms) with no restaurant, bar, garden, or beach zone that could not be less. But, if you want to do nothing, or very little, and spend more free days for travel, and your private life, in that case, I suggest you just be a traveler, not a volunteer. Just simply stop making it confusing to yourself and your hosts. Also, I suggest you be stable in your decisions, and not change your minds every week according to your private life. We were very tolerant people, but maybe some other hosts will not be. Keep that in your mind.

Both hostels are very well located in the middle of the old town. Most of the time I was in a room with only volunteers but a few days we had to share it with guests too. Both cities are breathtaking and I had a great time, specially with Bozo, the other volunteers and some guests. There was 2 shifts, a very hard working in the morning and an easy job in the afternoon. I felt the job could be better distributed between the volunteers and, it might be a coincidence but, the girls got the hard work while the boys the easy ones. Thank you Bidji for having me, It was a great experience 🤍!

I had a really great time in Budva! The city is amazing, great vibes and landscapes. I felt home for the month i spent there, made a lot of friends and definitely bringing amazing memories in my heart. I must mention that the tasks were different for boys and girls volunteering. If You're a woman you'll probably stay with the hard work (cleaning) and the guys were responsable for the reception. It did not make my experience bad, but just made me feel it was unfare. Hope it will be different in the future. Thanks so much for Bozo and Biljana for welcoming me!

My experience was very good. Gordana is very kind person. The task are easy to learn, in my case i had the bad luck to be alone because the other girls had personal problems and they had to left. and i had a lot of work to do but nothing that you can't do in your normal shift, sometimes they helped me. I recommend this experience because you have a lot time to go to the beach, and explore the City!!

My experience was good at the hostel, the tasks if you're girl is housekeeping, my shift was 12:00 to 16:00, basically you need to change and clean everything, if you're boy you have the best shift, because for the owners isn't allowed “man” change the sheets and clean; one time I needed to change my shift with the other volunteer but the owner didn't accept for that reason, anyway Biljana and Gordana (owners) are good and friendly persons; the city is amazing and you would love to be there.

There is no inequality between women and men, but there was an agreement with another volunteer who worked the evening shift. It is completely irrelevant who is of which gender. We are looking for people who can help with cleaning and the owner works the same shift as the volunteers. For your online business that you had, and towards which we treated responsibly, the day shift was ideal. Another volunteer had a nocturnal one (because you were both digital nomads and had your extra work online).

This was my first hostel experience in Kotor and it was fine. the hostel is a family run business with the owners based in Budva. Biljana is usually always at the hostel though, so she was a good support for me. Unfortunately the free days did not correspond with what was described on the platform and so I worked 4 hours everyday, but the work is fine. There is also a need to be flexible as shifts may change last minute. For the check ins, we collect guests from one building and walk them to a separate building. The buildings are not far in distance but it is an inconvenience.
