Haris has been guiding tours in Sarajevo since he was 15 (9 years). It's really interesting to get a local's perspective on things and to see places that are out of reach thanks to the minivan. I felt that Haris could slow down his commentary (and increase the volume) as he was difficult to understand (and I am native English... More

Haris the owner of this hostel has his own tourism office down the road and is extemly helpful! His 6hr city tour is a real eye opener and not to be missed. You have plenty of room in the hostel and feel right at home great value. Thanks Haris for a great time in Bosnia and Croatia haha More

We stayed two nights with Haris in Sarajevo and loved the hostel. It is up a hill, which is a bit of a hike, but worth it. Lovely views from the terrace, friendly staff, nice common room and good kitchen facilities. Beds were comfy and the hostel was clean. We did Haris' tour of Sarajevo, which was informative and excellent... More

The Staff were fantastic - they setup a four bed-room for us to use as a two person private. It has a Kitchen with free bosnian coffee and an amazing terrace with a great view over Sarajevo. The bathroom and shower were great as were the security features in the hostel. We thouroughly enjoyed it - it is a 15... More

4 of us stayed here for 2 nights in July. It's a really little hostel with 2 dorms and one private room. We had the private room which to be honest was a very small, dark and semelt a bit of damp. That said, Haris the owner is a really nice guy and he did lend us a couple of... More

Haris Youth hostel is perched up above the old town area - the view of Sarajevo from the hostel terrace is fantastic. Haris himself is really friendly and helpful and you will find notes on the wall from other guests saying so! He is really down to earth and adds to the charm of the place. The facilities are simple... More

This Hostel was great, Harris is a non stop workaholic. He provide you with the best service he possibly can. Be sure to go on his daily tour of the city, it was definitely worth it! Also a great way to meet people from the hostel. It is up a steep hill, so I recommend a taxi when travelling with... More
