Description
Hello fellow backpackers,
Please read - ONLY SOLO TRAVELERS/NO COUPLES OR GROUP OF FRIENDS - MINIMUM STAY 3 WEEK
We're a small hostel, at most there is only 3 people at any one time. There is only 16 beds so it is quite a casual and social hostel. That gives all my guests time to meet each other.
We are social hostel ideal for solo travelers BUT WE ARE NOT PARTY HOSTEL OR HEAVY DRINKING PLACE so we are not looking for entertainer, pub crawl leader.
If you think of yourself as a party person who likes to drink a lot and stay up late every night, then you're probably not the person to our hostel.
We need Workawayers who are responsible and not afraid of work.
We're located a 5 minute walk just outside of the old town and about a 30 minute walk from the east bus station.
Workawayers help with check in's, check out's and cleaning. When we have a free spot on the tour you'll also be the first one to go for free, to educate you on the local area.
Working hours are flexible (We work when we need to work), in free time you are able to explore Mostar and Hercegovina region, go for a hike ect.
In exchange for help, we can offer accommodation, participation in our amazing tours, free laundry service, opportunity to enjoy Bosnia and Hecegovina in the best possible way.
Minimum stay of three weeks.
All Workawayers must have a good level of English.
We look forward to hearing from you.
If my hostel sounds like a good fit for you. I'd like to hear from you.
We offer minimum wage for all hours worked. Please contact us about visas.

Allie is a fantastic person, always ready for any job you give her. Although she is younger than me and some of the workers who were in our crew, she was always responsible and looked after us. If you need the person I mentioned, it's Allie. The only thing I regret is that we didn't have her in the crew for a longer time

Harris stayed with us here for over a month and it was so sad to see him leave :( This was his first time working in a hostel but he was soon a professional! He is super friendly and a great addition to this Bosnian family, learning about our food culture, history and language. The hostel had such a great atmosphere when Harris was here that many… read more

Love love loved working here- so much so I came back to visit after travelling the rest of the Balkans and ended up working again!!
The work is simple, just a couple of hours cleaning rooms in the morning then as long one person is around in reception for guests and laundry the day is yours for exploring the beautiful city of Mostar.

Corinne was here with us for 5 weeks. She was a great member of the team!! She's not afraid to do the work, the fastest bed changer I've had here. Friendly personality great with the guests, always happy to show guests places around town, take them out to dinner and drinks- but no matter how big the night was she is always the first one up and… read more

Hey!!
I stayed at Fedja's hostel for 3 weeks- one more week than I had originally planned. I got to the hostel late after having traveled for the whole day and when Fedja found out I hadn't eaten, he went to buy me food at that hour! How thoughtful. Fedja is a great host, both to his Workawayers and to his guests. He always makes sure we have… read more

Go to this place!!! The hostel is really nice and has a very welcoming atmosphere. Fedja, the owner, is a great host. A truly friendly Bosnian character with numerous fascinating stories. I stayed here for almost three weeks and had the chance to meet lots of great people, travellers and Workawayers.

We very much enjoyed having Alen for two weeks with us. The moment he arrived we felt he was part of our family. Excellent worker, taking on tasks with a desire to complete with thoroughness. Very responsible and we never had to give direction more than once and he would often look ahead and anticipate what to do next, which was wonderful for us.… read more

I spent 3 months Workawaying for Fedja. Such a relaxing, chill out atmosphere. :) If you do a good job and even do a little more than what he asks (which doesn't have to be much), he truly appreciates it. His wife may even cook you some delicious meals! He is an honest guy and also someone who I believe really cares about his job and honoring the… read more

Fedja is a great guy and goes out of his way to run a fun, clean, and friendly hostel. Working with him and the other Workawayers was enjoyable, as it's easy to laugh and find an interesting conversation when the Balkanian man is around. Daily tasks are simple and there's plenty of time to hang out with whoever is around at the moment. I would… read more

What to say about Fedja and the Hostel? So many good things: first of all, Fedja is a smart, friendly business man loved by guests and Workawayers alike. He gave me and the other Workawayers a lot of autonomy and responsibility right away, immediately forming a sense of trust and respect. As someone who's lived in Bosnia & Hercegovina his whole… read more

I had an absolutely wonderful time with Fedja and the rest of the staff here. Everyone was very welcoming and there was a lot of fun to be had. Mostar has a great scene, so you will never get bored Workawaying here. One of the best hostels I've worked in so far :)

The only bad thing about having Sofia was that we didn't have her longer! We had her for about a week and in that time she very quickly picked up our way of doing things and was able to use her hotel managment skills to create an efficient and organised system to run the hostel (thank you!!). She's highly qualified but doesn't mind getting stuck… read more

I had a really great experience here. The hostel is a small, clean, friendly place where I met lovely travellers and other Workawayers. Fedja is an amazing host - friendly and welcoming, and the work is quite light and flexible. Its was great to spend a few weeks discovering Mostar and getting a real BiH experience! Thanks Fedja, you're the best!
