    This is the only hostel where I felt so sad leaving. It’s not just a hostel, it’s Igor’s little commune where everyone is welcome:) go to Sarajevo and never miss a chance to meet Igor, he is the legend. About facilities: beds have curtains, bathroom and shower is clean, the common area and the balcony where you can people-watch all day is a gem!

    The banana I couldn’t reach.

    If you haven't met Igor, you haven't truly experienced Sarajevo! Igor is more than just a host - he's a brother, a guide, and a friend. His kindness, care, and golden heart make you feel right at home. I was initially worried about spending 5 days in Sarajevo, but Igor showed me the ropes and introduced me to a wealth of activities to enjoy. Good Place Hostel is more than just a place to stay - it's a therapy haven! The positive energy, cool guests, and amazing volunteers create a supportive community that will lift your spirits. What truly sets Igor apart, though, is the genuine care he shows for his guests. He takes a personal interest in each person's journey, offering guidance, support, and encouragement whenever needed. Igor's warmth and hospitality made my stay truly unforgettable. And, as he would say, we became 'brothers for life'! If you're looking for a genuine Sarajevo experience, a place to heal and connect, and a host who truly cares, look no further than Good Place Hostel!"

    The hungovers...

    I arrived late after a really rough couple days and I was immediately received by Igor, the owner, with a big smile and heart. He first offered me coffee and after showing me the place we drank Rakija, in about an hour I had already stopped caring about everything that was troubling my mind and was just able to enjoy a nice night with him and a couple other guests. For Igor, as he later explained to me, his hostel is more than just a place to spend a night in. He has a philosophy of hospitality that goes beyond mere accomodation. The common area is a place of friendliness and freedom where, unless you are intolerant, you'll be able to debate just about anything; everyone, no matter where they come from or where are they heading, will feel welcomed. Due to Sarajewo's historical significance and Bosnia's lax touristic visa requirements I was able to meet people from all around the world, and thanks to Igor's good vibes the intercultural exchange is, from the get go, an ideal put into practice. Showers, bathrooms, linen and beds were excellent too, but that's secondary to the experience. I ended up extending my stay in Bosnia two more weeks and volunteering as well. živjeli Igor, živjeli The Good Place, živjeli Yugoslavija. ✊🏻

    Igor is one of the best hosts, I have ever met. He loves hosting people and sharing stories. His restaurant recommendations were spot on.The hostel is right at the city center. Tram to the west terminal is about 200m. The 103 bus stop, to the east terminal is around 500m. The hostel's entrance is behind the coffee shop. You can see the coffee shop on the cover picture, to the left of the red roofed section.

    In case you're an apprentice cook🧑🏻‍🍳 and didn't read the description of the hostel (like me ^^). You have to know that there is no hot plates in the kitchen ;)

    The best way to define this hostel is that it's a hostel where you will feel like at home! It's cosy, clean and it's super well located. Igor is a great host. Thank you for answering all my questions regarding, main places to visit, public transportations, and all the interesting discussions we had about the history, the politic and the futur of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

    nothing. go here!

    So, where do I start? I am a backpacker who have been to 84 countries so far and this was one of the best hostels I ever had stayed in. Igor is a really cool host, the place is very friendly, it’s so clean and fresh, perfect location, even a “indoor” balcony where you can sit watch people walk on the street. There’s small mirrors in each bed for your morning routine, there’s small pockets for your important belongings. The bed are comfortable and you create your own space with curtains. Highly recommended!

    There's nothing I didn't like about my stay. Maybe only that the guy I met here ghosted me later but that's not the hostel's or Igor's fault, I just appreciate a space to complain here :D :D

    THE BEST HOSTEL I STAYED IN!! The owner - Igor is incredibly friendly and helpful. He creates a unique atmosphere in this place. You will feel like visiting old friends since the first second you enter the door. Everything is clean and the bed is very comfortable and private. All ladies will appreciate this - THERE IS A MIRROR IN YOUR BUNK BED! I was so happy about this detail. Rooms and bunk beds are spacious and there is enough space for your luggage, small belongings and movement. The common areas are very comfortable - honestly I spent 80% of my stay here because Igor has thousands of stories which you just want to listen to (ask him about helicopter) and also a lot of knowledge to re-brief with you after your walking tours. All of us staying in the hostel we became good friends and I believe is thanks to Igor and his way of managing this hostel. I really want to come back to Sarajevo just to stay here again :D

    Everything. The hostel is great to meet new people because it feels tight knit and the host Igor is also very nice and fun. Location is close to the Old Town and also in the centre of everything. Igor will be ready to tell you any information about the city. I like that the bed got privacy curtain as well.
