The hostel was conflicting. The city of Belgrade is okay and the experience is not bad at all, but is not great either. Communication online was great, settting expectations beforehand, they even agree to keep my dates which I'm grateful for. On site is we're things get complicated, is a tug of war on expectations one day you're doing to little on your tasks the other your doing great. "You better know how to do this task, even tho I've not explained to you how to do it properly and if you make a mistake I'm gonna shame you for it, if you do it correctly great here's a cookie!"

I had a great time at the hostel! The vibe is nice, the place is clean with a great location. Volunteers have their own room, which helps you disconnect after shifts. Breakfast is amazing (my fav part of the day ❤️) There are two shifts: morning (9 am - 3 pm), which is busier with check-outs, and afternoon (6 pm - 12 am), which is more relaxed (you have time for your meals during the shifts ;) ).Dima, the host, is super fun but very detail-oriented, so you must stay on top of tasks. Iliana, the receptionist, is super friendly 😊 Ps: Write me if you want to know more about my experience ❤

I worked for two weeks until the owner, gave to me this kind of a contract that i should sign. After reading it there was some point that it wasn't clear for me so i told him that i didn't feel comfortable signing this. So this person started to behave like a child, not letting me talk, treating me like a fool for being the only one who has complained about this. And even when he should had gave this to me the first day he tried to make me feel like the guilty in he situation. So after all of this, he kicked me out, in the night. I don't recommend this place, it was very disrespectful.

Sorry we didn't give you the contract on the 1st day, but we’d like to clarify some facts. You didn’t work for 2 weeks, and it took you two days to review the contract. You refused to sign over a requirement to share details with the Ministry of Tourism and police, which is mandatory. 2 managers explained this and offered to adjust the wording, but you still declined. Since refusing legal registration is suspicious, we couldn’t keep you as a volunteer. This happened at 6PM, not at night.

The time I spent at the hostel was fun and welcoming. Thank you so much Dima for the delicious breakfasts, the events and for all the love you showed me during that time. I'll always remember the "Whaaaaaaaattt" 😅. The hostel is super comfortable, has a beautiful outdoor area and a sensational terrace. The staff were great too, they always kept me company and had a good laugh ❤️. Thank you for everything.

Grateful to the hostel for this transformative experience! Besides being a spacious and charming hostel with a perfect location and outdoor area, the volunteer room is super comfortable. Tasks vary from cleaning to reception and are well-organized with clear checklists, making everything more practical and efficient. Chef Dima is talented, and his breakfasts are amazing, while manager Ilana leads with empathy and professionalism. Thank you for this opportunity! P.S: Sorry for any inconvenience and confusion caused, hehe.
