We think that our hostel, with our current image has a lot to offer to young people and we think that Sarajevo is an awesome and interesting city with a lot of history.
We are looking for volunteers who would be happy to work in a amazing hostel with amazing people and lot of interesting guests from all around the world in the center of Sarajevo.

Balkan Han is a fun, quirky hostel that brings interesting travellers from all corners of the world together. Unkas runs his hostel with passion and has always been fair and easy to work with. What you're given as a volunteer during this experience is well worth the amount of hours and effort you're expected to put in. The facilities are excellent - especially the garden for socialising - and guests often comment on how nice the 'vibe' and atmosphere of the place is. Thanks again Unkas as well as all the amazing staff and fellow volunteers that make Balkan Han as great as it is. I'll be back!

I had a great experience at Balkan Han overall, it's important to note that both me and Unkas are aware that not everything went perfectly all the way. I agreed on staying one extra week to help out and I wouldn't have done it if I had bad things to say about this place.
Tasks are fair and easy. Sleeping arrangements can be a little off sometimes.
Good communication is a must for me, and I struggled sometimes with this matter. If you're tolerant and openminded you will easily find your way around.
Sarajevo is a wonderful city and Balkan Han has the perfect location.

Overall my stay at Balkan Han was a really good experience. The hostel is really social making it easy to meet other travellers. All of the staff were really nice and helpful, and the other volunteers were great. Sarajevo is a beautiful city with plenty of things to do.
It would have been good to know beforehand that I would be staying at an apartment 10 mins away from the hostel with no wifi but it did end up being nice to have lots of space and my own room. Unkas, the owner was overall really helpful and cares a lot about his hostel but at times could be condescending in the way he spoke.

My time at the balkan Han did not go as expected but A few people from the staff, Jure and Adna helped me through my short stay at the hostel and were very kind. I saw the host interact very well with guests. Nevertheless, I would not recommend this place to anyone who’d like to volunteer. Hours are not respected, the host will sometimes relocates guest and volunteers to share an apartment he says he owns a 10 min walk away uphill, and breakfast isn’t included unless asked for then he will give money, not food. Had to ask for WP insurance after he made me feel uncomfortable and yelled at me.

It took me a few days to get into the groove and feel like I fit in, but once I did, I had a really great time! Unkas is very passionate about this hostel and will push you to do your best, but is very fair and kind once he knows he can count on you. I only wish I knew beforehand that I would sometimes have to sleep at an apartment that’s a 10 min walk away from the hostel, which was a little inconvenient. Keep that in mind. Other than that, I had a really great time here! Very social environment and plenty of free time to socialize and explore the city.
