Staying at the Vagabonds Hostel was a really nice experience. The hostel receives people from all over the world, so it's easy to make new friends and learn more from different cultures. The employees are always nice and caring. Had a great time there working with Alisa, Denis and Uma. The tasks are easy and always done together, which gives you more free time to explore the city. Sarajevo is truly charming, and its people are incredibly welcoming.

The hostel team really made me feel like one of their own! I loved getting to know all of the staff and other employees. The hostel always had a super welcoming vibe that was easy to fit right into and that translated into a fun, relaxed, social environment for guests as well. My responsibilities were always super clear and fair. Ivan and his team were always happy to accommodate any breaks I wanted so I could travel around more! Really enjoyed my stay!

I had a great experience at the hostel and it definitely contributed a lot for the great time I also had in Bosnia. Sarajevo is now one of my favorite cities in Europe. Aida, the owner is very kind and flexible. I asked her consecutive days off, so I could travel, she didn't hesitated in giving it. The tasks are simple and not boring, I was doing the night shift three times a week, it's long hours, but it's ok. Just three days 😉 The location of the hostel is awesome. And the atmosphere there is very familiar. I strongly recommend everyone to volunteer there.
