Guest Reviews
- Sarah (10/5): -
- Nikoletta (9/5): - Vedo mindenben a segítségünkre volt, nagyon szívélyes, rugalmas házigazda volt. Pontos és gördülékeny, ês informatív volt a kommunikáció a részéről.
Kényelmes volt a szoba és az különösen jólesett, hogy a váratlanul jött hűvös, esős időben fűtőttek.
Jól éreztük ott magunkat! Talán a meredek utcán a szűkös parkolás volt nehézkesebb, de túlzás lenne azt mondani, hogy ez nem tetszett.
- Catherine (9/5): - Tout d'abord l'extrême gentillesse de Vedad, le propriétaire. Un accueil chaleureux avec un café bosniaque maison. Le logement est propre, bien équipé, à quelques centaines de mètres de la place principale de la vieille ville. C'est en hauteur, la montée est un peu difficile mais de là haut la vue est belle. Rien
- Lorand (10/5): -
- Phillip (9/5): This is a wonderful place to stay when visiting Sarajevo. - This host, his son and his mother were very nice to me. She brought me some preserved pears to eat! The room was very quiet at night. The room was a little warm and I couldn't turn down the heater. It would be perfect for most people, but I like cold rooms. The hill is a bit steep but there is a bus that goes up every 20 minutes if it is too much for you.
- Philip (8/5): near perfect - it had space and was in a quiet location the shower could have been better needed to be put above head. more kitchen equipment
- dora paula (10/5): Sve preporuke ! - Ukratko sve :) /
- anna (10/5): Vedan ensured we were happy and comfortable from the moment we arrived. An amazing host! - Had everything we needed. Was warm and cosy. Great hot water. Comfortable bed. Full cooking facilities. Washing machine! Safe and secure. Fantastic host - could not do enough for us and checked regularly to make sure we were happy. Good bus service to take you up the hills. Close to supermarkets. Nothing at all
- Djordjevic (10/5): - Smeštaj i sve ostalo.
- Liesbeth (10/5): Een eigen plek in familiehuis. - Super kind and helpful host and the place is near to old town.
- gabrielbb88 (10/5): - La hospitalidad del Sr. Vedad y su família fue maravillosa. Ellos viven en el piso de arriba pero en ningún momento noté falta de intimidad. El apartamento estaba limpio, era cómodo y muy bien ubicado, cerca del centro y en una zona muy tranquila y segura. Repetiría 1000 veces si vuelvo a Sarajevo. Nada.
- Natalia (10/5): Very warm welcome - Very clean room. There is everything necessary in the bedroom and the kitchen (however no shower gel and shampoo in the bath room). Wifi works fine, bed is very comfortable. But what made the stay really very nice and pleasant is the host - Vedo. Dear Vedo, thanks a lot for a very warm and nice meeting and introduction of your city, for great coffee and a wonderful sunset at our last evening in Sarajevo. Thanks a lot for sharing your love to your city with us! As mentioned in many feedbacks - way home uphill. But if you are not in a too bad form, it's not a big deal.
- Stardust (8/5): Harika ev sahibi, mütevazı ama temiz ve konforlu ev ile beklentilerimizi tamamen karşıladı. - Vedat muhteşem bir insan! 45dk sonra varacağımızı belirten bir mesaj attık ancak 1,5 saat sonra varabildik. Vardığımızda yağmur altında, şemsiyesiyle sokağın başında bizi bekliyordu. Gecikmemize ve onu bekletmemize rağmen hiç lafını etmedi. Kendisi tur rehberliği yapıyor; çok ilgili ve güler yüzlü biri. Bizi samimi bir şekilde karşıladı. Vedat, evin önündeki sokakta bize otopark yeri ayırmış ve kendi aracını çıkararak bizim aracımızı park etmemizi sağladı. Ev mütevazı ama temiz ve tüm ihtiyaçları karşılıyor. Yellow Fortress’a sadece 5 dakika yürüme mesafesinde. Gece konaklamak için tercih ettik ve beklentilerimizi tamamen karşıladı.
- Thomas (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Sarajevo ! - Everything was perfect! Everything we needed was in the flat. Vedo has been extremely nice ald helpful with us! He welcomed us with a Bosnian coffee and took us to a nice viewpoint! I would happily come back and recommend staying in this accomodation! Everything was great !
- Vicky (10/5): A real Sarajevo experience! - All excellent - excellent host, excellent location, excellent apartment, excellent price! The walk up from Bascarsija wasn’t that terrible for us, we actually didn’t mind doing it at night at our own pace. Vedo was very helpful and welcoming at all times! Great apartment that has all you need and offers you a real Sarajevo experience :) Everything was perfect
- ALEJANDRO (10/5): - Vedad, el anfitrión, es muy amable, la casa está limpia y ordenada, con buena ubicación cerca del centro. No podría decir nada negativo, además nos ayudó con todo lo que teníamos que saber, nos explicó cosas de la ciudad que deberíamos ver y de su historia.
- Popovic (10/5): - Apartman na dobroj lokaciji,izgleda jos bolje nego na slikama,domacin je na raslolaganju za sve sto vam je potrebno. Sve preporuke
- K.emin (8/5): - Hospitalite Getting home is a bit difficult.😊
- Kai (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aksoy (10/5): GREAT HOST - Vedat is a great host. Although he was in Croatia, his son helped us, but we talked on the phone all the time, he practically guided us online. The places he recommended were great. The house met all expectations. Very quiet, calm, a little bit on the hill, you should not smoke before going up to the house. But no matter where you stay, every house here is on the hill. Thank you very much for everything. Nothing ❤️
- Jacky (10/5): Exceptional - Vedo is a very friendly and humble guy. His mother is also a very nice lady. This apartment is one of the best budget options in Sarajevo for sure.
- Aleksandra (10/5): Exceptional - Apartment has everything you need and looks better in reality then on the photos It is on a very big hill! However taxi back from the city centre is only around 2-3 EUR
- Aleš (10/5): Exceptional - Vedo and his family are very friendly and helpful, 10/10
- Michael (10/5): Great place with exceptional host -
- Jesper (10/5): Exceptional - Great and well-located apartment with an amazing host who is very knowledgeable about the country and its history!
- Nicola (10/5): Vedo, the best host ever - The apartment was very nice, it had everything needed, very comfortable and cozy. The location is also perfect, in a nice residential neighborhood on an absolute reasonable walking distance from the center (you also have regular small buses). But what was absolutely outstanding was the welcoming from the host!
Vedo is an amazing person, who did his best to make our stay perfect since the moment we arrived, and even from before, since he arranged for us to be picked up at the station. Then he welcomed us with some Bosnian coffee, he even took us one evening to enjoy the view of the city from a viewpoint. He was very helpful, responded to every request and always made sure we had everything we needed. All in all, this was exactly the kind of place we wanted to stay in, it felt like being guests at a friend's house. We would give an 11 out of 10 score if that was possible! Thank you very much again for everything Vedo for your amazing and genuine hospitality
- Yasin (10/5): Exceptional - Mr. Vedat and his family are showed hospitality of Bosnia. Million thanks from heart for everything that he showed/provided. İf i ever come to Sarajevo will definitely stay in the same place.
- Susan (10/5): Exceptional -
- M (10/5): Professional and helping mind owner. - The owner was helpful and friendly. He served us welcome local coffee. Offered us to free pick up from bus station.
- Wafi (10/5): Exceptional - it's a room unit under the host house. the host family was so nice. during my stay, they welcome me with some food and bosnian coffee. the unit equipped with kitchen. there is a queen bed and single bed which could literally fit three people at once. all good except the hilly location. whenever you want to go city centre, you need to walk down the hill. going back to the room definitely challenging. but as long as you are fit then no problem
- Petra (10/5): Would definitely go again - Friendly owner, close to city centre, clean, for that price perfect Located on super steep street so have this in mind
- Ying (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment owner is very nice and helpful.
- Hoyle (10/5): Perfect stay - I recently took my wife to visit Sarajevo and this apartment was perfect. Our host, Vedo, was incredibly friendly. His hospitality was excellent. Beds were comfortable and the facilities were all exactly as required. Location is a steep walk from the town centre but very worth it. Could not recommend more Nothing, it was all fine
- Lucrezia (10/5): Exceptional - Cozy and warm apartment. Vedo, the host, is really kind and available. Definitely I would recommend it.
- Alperen (10/5): Cozy home. Very hospitable owner. Utilities were working properly. There was plenty of space. - Cozy home. Very hospitable owner. Utilities were working properly. There was plenty of space.
- Claire (10/5): Couldn't recommend more highly. THANK YOU Vedo! - Absolutely terrific. Vedo, our host, was a star with all my stupid questions in advance of our trip, and we couldn't have been more warmly welcomed when we landed in Sarajevo. The apartment is very comfortable, with everything that you might need, and is just a five-minute walk from the centre of the old town (it took me a little longer to get back up the hill, however... LOL) Extremely good value for money.
- Ben (10/5): Exceptional -
- Raymond (9/5): Superb - I did not meet Vedo cause he was on trip.Very nice apartment.For a normal fare they can bring or pick you up to stations.Nice People, its just a steep walk uphill from centre Nothhing
- Christina (8/5): Very good - The owner was great, very kind and always available for anything that we needed The location is a bit tricky, sarajevo old city has great views but it's a bit high in attitude, so you need to walk straight up to reach the location of the house..overall though it was nice
- Camilla (9/5): Superb - Apartment si in great location with views of Sarajevo.
The owner was really helpful and always available recommending free walking tours.
We were greeted with a delicious bosnian coffee.
Highly recommended!
- Shirley (7/5): Great stay! - It was a great pleasure staying in apartment Dove. Good space, it has a little kitchen and bathroom. Washing machine is also available if you need. It is good value for money. The host is very kind, very helpful. He even offered to come and pick us up from the bottom of the hill which was so sweet. The Bosnian coffee was great too! Thanks for that Vedo :). The only issue was its uphill so you have to prepare your legs to walk up the hill but of course there is always a bus waiting at the bottom of the hill to take you up there. It's not far, just a few minutes. Coming down is not a problem if you have a good legs as it is easier to go down. You can also enjoy the view as you go downhill.
- Huei (10/5): Great owner and apartment - Everything. It’s at a very quiet community and very close to the town center,but there is a steep slope to walk up and down. The host is extremely considerate and kind.
- Aleksandar (9/5): Superb -
- Titou44 (10/5): The perfect place in Sarajevo - The location is perfect to enjoy Sarajevo, and the host is one of the best I met, always available but very respectful. I immediately felt home, all the family is so nice.
Beds are good, shower is top, the room is huge, and there's even a washing machine, what else do you need ?
- Özlem (9/5): Superb -
- Dubravko (9/5): Good and use it :) - Location, space and purity of the apartment. There was a small shortage of kitchen glasses, plates and cutlery. Nothing else.
- Oya (10/5): A place i can call home - The apartment is spacious and has a traditional feel. Located up hill, only 6/7mins walk from the Baščaršija. There is a mini bus available round the corner to the apartment only 1 stop from Baščaršija, every 30mins. There is a local shop 1/2min walk. 4/5 mins walk there is a bakery and coffee/breakfast places. The location is absolutely amazing, close to the tram/buses. The views are amazing as soon as you walk out of the apartment.
Vedo and his family are so precious. They welcome you with open arms and make sure you are comfortable and try their absolute best to make sure your needs are met. They are honest and warm. If i could take one thing it would be Vedo's mum! A warm kind and generous woman, she has shown me such love in the short time i met her. I will definitely be going back as I'd like to see my sexy mama again.
Vedo is the best host I've ever met, he always has a smile and a great sense of humour! He was always ready to answer my questions and i felt comfortable asking him when i needed help.
Thank you Vedo to you and your family. Much love ❤️
- Agnes (10/5): Lovely host and stunning location - The property is in an amazing location, the view of the city is stunning from there. The host is nice and welcoming and the flat is clean and comfy.
- Stephenriley (10/5): Great apartment and host. - The host Vedo, was extremely helpful, making a Bosnian coffee on arrival, he also took me to a cafe with the best view of sarajavo, the apartment is big with everything needed for a short or long stay, and very quiet , it is about a 10 minute walk to old town Bascarsija, highly recommend vedo's apartment.
- Lucy (10/5): Very friendly host of a cosy apartment - Very attentive host, nothing was too much trouble, even bringing us traditional Bosnian coffee one morning. He was on hand to help with questions about the property and also about visiting Sarajevo and Mostar. Property was small but functional and clean. Just be aware it’s up a very steep hill!!
- Michael (10/5): Incredible host and amazing accomodation - Vedo was not only an exceptional host but an amazing person. He went out of his way to accomodate our every need including picking us up and dropping us off at the bus station in the early hours. He also provided tons of recommendations on sites to visit and restaurants to eat at
The apartment itself was super clean and had everything you needed. It was also very close to Old Town.
Overall, we had an amazing time in Sarajevo which was definitely helped by having an amazing accomodation to stay in and a great host. I would recommend this stay to everyone!!!!
- Milica (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nikolaos (10/5): Exceptional - The host was exceptionally good and friendly.Speaks good english.When I got in Serajevo I had a problem with my car.He not only left his job to come and help but then got me to a friend who fixed it for free. Also he offered coffee and advice for sightseeing.The apartment is clean with good kitchen and comfortable bed. Also a 10 min walk to the center. Free parking near by .Very special place!
- Alpegon (10/5): Wonderful stay in Sarajevo - Fantastic apartment in Sarajevo.
I went with my wife and 10 month old daughter and we enjoyed every moment at the apartment.
It has everything you may need for a short stay in Sarajevo. Beds are comfy and kitchen is equipped for a few days stay.
It is 5 minutes walk away from the very centre of Sarajevo but neighborhood is very quiet at the same time.
Kenan (the owner), met us and helped us as we needed. He gave us good advice and tips about the city.
The quality/price relationship is incredibly good.
Do not hesitate to stay at Kenan's apartment. I liked everything.
We even asked for a small blanket for our baby and the owner lend it to us from his child.
- Peček (9/5): Superb - Host was very helpful and kind. He moved his own car so we could park on the street. He also prepared a great turkish cofee.
- Fulya (9/5): Superb -
- Małgorzata (10/5): Exceptional - I highly recommend Dove Apartment. The greatest asset is the host Vedo, who treats his guests like his family members. He gave us lots of useful information and tips about Sarajevo.
When we were stranded in the middle of nowhere , with the storm raging around us, I called Vedo and he came to the other side of Sarajevo, took us home and when we arrived, he gave us delicious Bosnian style coffee - and he refused to take any money, although I wanted to give it to him.
Thank you, Vedo. Nothing
- Jose (10/5): Amazing hosts! Expencional - Perfect condition , safe and clean
Close to the old town
Hosts are amazing! Super friendly and super helpful
We love to stay with them
- Ilari (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mimatr (10/5): Exceptional - Apartment is clean, comfortable bed. Location is great. Thank you, Vedad and to your family for making our visit to Sarajevo great experience :) Hope to see you all soon :)
- Nurul (10/5): Exceptional -
- Geoff (10/5): It's the Host that makes a Stay - Vedad, your host, was 10 when a friend, standing one metre away, was shot in the head by a sniper's bullet. He witnessed other Bosnian atrocities, including a UN truck hitting and killing another peer.
There are two pathways ahead from living through a genocide and such youthful trauma. Bitterness or hope.
Vedad sought the latter. His aim is to heal the deep divisions within the troubled region.
A people person, this is reflected in his attention to his guests, wanting the best for you. Always at the ready to provide information and do guest pickups. All the while doing three jobs and raising a family.
He regularly visits Serbia, and drove me to Srebrenica (which on the way) gratis. Thank you.
Does he meet people involved in the Sarajevo siege on this regular journey? Probably, but that doesn't reflect the courtesy he shows to all.
The apartment is an easy 10 minute stroll down to the heart of the old town, and slightly longer to get back up.
Spacious, with all the extras for cooking and washing clothes . Heaps of extra blankets etc. Spotless, quiet. Good shower and bed.
A great human being, host and accommodation is an unbeatable trifecta.
- Alexandra2305 (10/5): Great room, great host, great city - The host, Vedo, was the best. He was very helpful and attentive during the whole staying in Sarajevo. The room was super-quiet, comfortable and spacious. There were bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. There is everything you may need during your stay: bedsheets, additional blankets (if it's chilly outside), all kind of kitchen utilities, washing machine, towels, stove.
Fantastic wifi.
The house is on the hill, so while you're going up or down from it the magnificent view is guaranteed.
There are several shops nearby (5-7 mins by walk), old city center within 10 mins by walk. There is no microwave, but we didn't need it and didn't ask the host about it, maybe he had one.
If you have bad knees or some legs' problems be prepared to go to the room by taxi (there are a lot of them in the city center). But didn't use taxi, it was too beautiful way :-)
- Azhar (9/5): Superb - Clean
Free wifi
Free parking
Kitchen
Friendly host
Near old city Hot water for shower seems slow to heat . Becomes cold while in shower
Wifi not secure
Has to climb hill
At night room heater is off
Bed modified from sofa.. too low for me.
- Sabrina (10/5): Exceptional - The host is literary the most hospitable person I have ever met. I was struggling to pay at that time, and he waved and said that I could stay at any cost - he just wants to be a good host. He constantly was asking if we needed anything and drove us partially to the airport. This stay is so cozy and warm, even though it's a bit of a hike outside the city it is so worth it because the host is so kind. The beds were also very comfy too!
- Troels (10/5): Exceptional - Vedad is an extremely kind and serviceminded host. The location is central with only a few minutes walk to the Old Town city center.
My best recommendations.
- Sam (10/5): Exceptional hospitality- Vedo is a Jem of the person! - The best hospitality experience ever through my booking.com stays. Vedo is such a hospitable host and an amazing soul. From the start, he provided all the answers I might have and he was prompt in his replies. What really amazed me was that he came all the way to the bus stop to pick me up at no extra cost and surprised me by taking me up to a Yellow Fortress where one may enjoy an amazing view of the entire Sarajevo from the hill (Picture attached) just before taking me the apartment! As for the place itself, it was clean and comfortable which includes a kitchenette with all the amenities one may require as well as a washing machine. It's located from 10-15 minute walk. In addition, he is a tour guide and provides the best recommendations regarding Sarajevo and trips beyond -Bosnia and Herzegovina. I would definitely stay here again! Wish I could have stayed longer.
- Eric (10/5): The best of the best - Everything was perfect. Vedo is such a friendly, helpful host. I wish I could've stayed forever.
- Tereza (10/5): Great location close to the city center yet in a calm area. Very nice, helpfull and welcoming hosts. They prepared burek - very friendly hosts
location close to city center
nice size of apartman
easy communication
- Monika (9/5): Superb - Apartment is really nice and it has excellent location. It has all listed amenities.
Host is really responsive, kind and helpful.
- Azat (10/5): Absolutely friendly hosts! - Vedo is a wonderful person! Always helped me, no matter what problem I had! Spent 3 hours of time to make me a migration white karton, and was late for work... or when my car broke down, he helped me start it... or spend an evening with me to show me the sights of Sarajevo... It's all about Vedo! And his family also cooked me to coffee, dessert, and dinner during my stay!
- David (9/5): Superb -
- S (10/5): Exceptional - The apartment was cosy and clean. The host picked me up from the airport and was super helpful at answering my questions. Would recommend a stay here.
- Ataman (10/5): Exceptional - We felt at home here. It was so clear and comfortable. Every detail was taken into account. Vedad showed us great hospitality.
- Γεωργία (10/5): Exceptional - Very smooth communication with the owner, he was very kind and helpful. Good location, about 7 minutes walk to the center. Everything was as expected. Highly recommended.
- Lana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Katarzyna (10/5): We are very happy about the stay - The apartament was clean, everything I needed was there. Big plus for the fresh dishclothes. The host was super nice he made us well like at home. I was a bit hard to open the gate and you had to be careful with the chairs in the kitchen, we had a feeling that they are about to fall apart.
- Vladimir (8/5): Very good -
- Piotr (5/5): Passable - good location close to old town,very nice and helpful owner,good wifi, the bed squeaked,old apartment but everything was there,
- Rose (10/5): friendly local stay - absolutely wonderful! the family are so lovely and made me feel totally at home. the apartment is comfy and well located (although hill is slightly steep). would recommend to anyone! thanks :)
- Virginie (10/5): In love with Sarajevo and my Bosnian family - Vedad and his family are adorable ! They offered me Bosnian coffee, fruits, vegetables...they kept feeding me like if I was part of the family member. The location is also perfect to visit the old town : 10 mins by walk and you are in ! (15-20 mins to climb back but it's healthy !) The studio it is exactly the same as the photos and as everything you need. Sarajevo is a beautiful town that deserve to be more visited and the welcoming of Bosnian people is tdefinitely one of the best I have experienced !
I highly recommend this place and will come back for sure in Sarajevo !
Hvala !!!!
- Jiří (9/5): Superb - bad location, on the top of endless hill
- Agata (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect, the host and his family were very kind and the apartment was great. Thank you for your hospitality!
