This has been by far one of my best Worldpackers experiences. It was challenging and definitely out of my comfort zone, but I am leaving with amazing memories and the best hikes I have done in a long time. If you are willing to face the lodge Franko's challenge, I would for sure recommend it! A few things I recommend: for data - the best one for good signal is Mtel (you can buy 10GB for two weeks for 10KM), good waterproof hiking shoes if you want to enjoy your walks (it can be slippery when it rains), electricity is limited so a good book is always nice to have, and - Good luck in Vahala!

The lodge is very magical, we have a lot of free time during the week to explore it, primoz and goga are very kind and lovely hosts, this place was very difficult to leave for me, i just kept prosponing it everyday, the lodge is very cozy and i loved taking care of dex, mač and lisa, even when it gets busy in the weekends the work is not stresseful, every day doesnt matter the weather is beautiful up there ❤️

The best place I've stayed in all of Europe. Primoz is my favorite host. We were well taken care of. No shower or toilet, but so many good times and memories

It's hard to write words to describe my month in Dom the lodge Franko. It's the kind of place that you can't get tired of admiring. Sunsets, laughter, flowers, soup, zova, music, cat, stars, letters and friends. I'm very grateful for the true friendships I made during these weeks, people I'll keep with me forever. Thank you Primož and Goga, for the lessons I learned and the delicious food. I hope the winds of fate will take me back to this place one day, because I may have left the cabin, but the cabin will never leave my heart ;) Ps: see you in valhalla

It's little challenging to wrap up the whole experience into few sentences but I'll try) I absolutely love the time spent in the lodge Franko n feel grateful to have meet the fellow volunteers, the Slovenian bear man host Primoz and lovely Gulga(hope I spell it right..). It's almost magical you can be lucky to form the bond as we did, like a sweet and wonderful family. Well I felt it anyway haha. Oh Mac the most lovable predator on Trebević, n silly Dexter, many Bosnians are so kind, the slopes, the lodge, the sun, Nikki, Juan, Clem, Tomas, Lia, Sona..Thank you for making up my Bosnian summer!

I really enjoyed my time volunteering at this the lodge- our primary task was very simple and easy (serving drinks to guests who hiked up the lodge) and I really enjoyed getting to know the volunteers I worked with while staying there. Although there is no running water and limited options for food weekly, it is definitely manageable and worth the experience! The view is stunning and the locals are the main customers, so you get to learn more about this beautiful country if you talk with them. Primoz is the host and he is a bit rough around the edges but has a soft center overall 😊💓

I am going to miss theses amazing sunsets and the incredible view, I'm going to really miss cooking with Primoz and learning so many new recipes or him taking control of my recipes and making them wayyyyy better! Met so many incredible volunteers there to, and of course really friendly guests! The whole experience was just amazing and I know I will come back!

Was an amazing, authentic backpacking experience! Definitely an unforgettable one. It was lovely being up in the mountains and easy to adjust to the lodge life. Plenty of down time, tasks were easy and lots of opportunities to speak to locals. Primož was a great host and an excellent cook on the weekends. It builds good character and definitely something every backpacker should try. Very good bonding experience with other volunteers and plenty of great stories to tell. Lovely the lodge cat (Matz) and dog (Dexter). Thank you for having me! Would do it all again!!

Coming to practice Bosnian and take in the beautiful the lodge scenery I ended up getting so so much more. Wonderful, generous guests - both local and international, great and ever changing teams of volunteers, simple and fairytale-like tasks (such as collecting wild flowers for herbal teas!), best sunsets and furry friends - anything from myriad of dogs to wild horses! The owner and creator of this place, Primož has all his heart and wisdom for hard-working, engaged people who are prepared to learn. Please don't treat it like a free holiday and you will have the most fab experience!

This was my first volunteering experience and it was a great one! Primoz can be stern at times but overall he was a great host. The other volunteers became like a family to me and I'm truly greatful. We were with 6 volunteers but normally there are around 2 and there still was enough room for everyone. You can plan your own free days in the week which you can go to Sarajevo and enjoy the night there or hike around. It's about a 45 minute walk down to the cable cart. It's a great place to meet locals and talk and exchange. I've learned a lot from this place. Thank you Primoz and Golga!
