- Hajji (10/5): - Tous
- Şahin (4/5): -
- Rahim (9/5): Harika konumda fiyat performans hosteli - Konum harika, çalışanlar ilgili ve iyi, oda geniş, yatak temiz, sıcak su var Mutfak biraz eski, masa sandalye yetersiz ve eski
- Zhen (10/5): - Very friendly employees they are all very kind, they offer me food every time, and they can cook good 😊👍
The best location it's at the old town.
It's clean, but the bathroom very old, it looks not that fresh.
- Sarah (9/5): 최고의 위치, 친절한 사람들이 있는 호스텔 - 호스트와 직원들이 친절하고 위치가 좋았습니다. 카드결제가 가능하다면 좋을 듯 합니다. 또한 침대에 커튼이 있으면 좋을 것 같습니다.

- Pascal de Bijl (6/5): Volgende keer toch een ander hostel - De locatie is super zo direct tegen de oude stad aan. Er rijden trams op en af vanaf het bus- en treinstation wat dan ver weg ligt. Het was schoon maar een beetje vervallen.
Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De enige douche in het hostel is wat aan de kleine kant en de keuken oogde wat smerig.
- Öznur (8/5): -
- Asier (9/5): Muy agradable 🙂 - Habitación amplia, tranquila y agradable. La camas igual. Eso siempre es de las partes más importantes al alojarse.
Tiene buenas taquillas y enchufes de sobra.
El personal es.educado y atento.
Cierto que solo hay un baño para todos, pero la ocupación de camas es media o baja, y, al menos en septiembre, no es problema grave el buscarse momento para entrar al baño.
- Esad (9/5): -
- Bianca Irene (3/5): - La posizione dell'ostello è ottima, comoda per raggiungere le principali attrazioni e per tornare velocemente in stanza durante il giorno. Purtroppo c'era un solo bagno, sempre allagato e un po' fatiscente per tutti gli ospiti dell'ostello. Anche a livello di sicurezza non era granché, portone accessibile a tutti, finestre sempre aperte e chiave della stanza inesistente. Assenti anche phon e altri servizi come armadietti di sicurezza.

- Guest (1/5): Not recommended - Central location Very dirty place
Smelly blanket
One shower for around 25 people
No AC
Very strong cigarette smell in the room, as the staff smokes in their room, and it’s super close to guests’ rooms
- Sebahatdin (5/5): - Konumunu, çalışanlar iyi idi Temizlik
- Trang (10/5): - It's right next to the Latin Bridge, 5-10 minute walk to the old town, super easy navigation. The bed was comfy, kitchen is equipped, wifi worked great! The guy (might be the owner) was very nice and helped me with a bunch of questions about the buses and stuff, and I met wonderful fellow travelers during my stay too ☺️
- Veljko (10/5): - Host greeted me and helped me with correcting the mistake I did with the booking. The place is nice, cleand and just 2 minutes away from Baščaršija. I would recommend this place to everyone!

- Marta (4/5): Que sea tu última opción y elígelo solo por el precio... - Ubicación, el staff era muy agradable! Las habitaciones están bien, las camas son cómodas. Tiene taquillas con tu propio candado, aunque había solo cuatro para seis personas. Es barato. En la habitación, las literas de arriba no tienen enchufe y no tienes donde dejar tus cosas por la noche (una balda o algo así).
La limpieza es escasa, a pesar de que el dueño se esfuerza en que la cocina esté recogida. La cocina está llena de grasa, hay arañas, no hay una ventana que cierre bien, la galería (que podría ser un buen sitio) está completamente descuidada.
No hay sillas para sentarte, de las cinco que hay tres están rotas, y hay una sola mesa, en la que un día había una persona durmiendo, por lo que tampoco la podías usar. Lo mismo con la zona común, hay un par de sofás muy sucios y duerme gente por la noche.
Había gente que no era de nuestra habitación saliendo y entrando para no sé qué, algo que no nos gustó nada, incluso a veces se quedaban ahí mirando videos en el móvil con el altavoz puesto.
En general el sitio está muy descuidado, le falta hacer obra en todas las esquinas para renovarlo, pero sobre todo, una limpieza en profundidad.

- tiana (9/5): - L'atmosfera del hostel en general: ambient molt relaxat, i el personal molt amable.
M'agradaria tornar-hi.
Gràcies per l"acolliment. No costaría gaire actualitzar zona cuina i bany. Milloraria molt el conjunt del hostel.
- Giuseppe (8/5): - Centralità, pulizia L’unico difetto, per me non è così fastidioso, potrebbe esserlo per qualcuno, dopo le 22 bisognerebbe far rispettare un pelo di più il silenzio in struttura
- Sherif valan (10/5): The best place to stay in Sarajevo - A very nice hostel and very nice staff in very good location
Thank you
- Ajwin (7/5): -
- Jamie (8/5): Good budget place to stay in Sarajevo - Amazing location a minute walk to the old town and very close to the cable car. Small kitchen was very useful. Only one shower for the entire place but it wasn’t an issue for me while I was there.

- O'Hagan (7/5): -
- SOOJEE (4/5): - 위치뿐 하지만 11유로 정도라 가성비가 좋았어요. 방충방이 다 떨어져있어서 모기가 걱정이 되었어요. 현금만 받아요. 화장실도 하나뿐이라 불편할 수도 있습니다.
- Hasan (10/5): -
- kad (7/5): -
- xiaoming (6/5): 还行 - 挺不错 炊具少
- Ioannis (8/5): Smooth and affordable - As central as you can get, almost opposite to the Town Hall and within walking distance from the Old City of Sarajevo, Waterfall is an extremely good-value-for-money hostel housed on the ground floor of an elegant building. It has just two spacious, brightly lit, high ceiling 6-bed dorms overlooking the street, a large -and very functional- kitchen and a sort of a balcony where one may smoke and/or socialise. Rooms, toilets and bathroom are kept clean and tidy. The staff is present on an almost 24/7 basis, ready to assist in any way. Some guests tend to become disrespectful by making noise when departing in the small hours of day. As a behavior -which of course is not representative of or restricted to this particular hostel- it becomes extremely annoying to other guests who simply want to rest. To my mind, if you're not willing to respect the people you happen to coexist with, just book a single room somewhere else.
- SAKURA (3/5): - 場所はとても良い。
値段が安いこと。
泊まるなら女子ドミをおすすめします。 2泊しましたがWiFiが全く機能していませんでした。
この期間だけではなさそうです。
WiFiがないならば、選ばなかった宿です。
20人近く泊まれる宿で、シャワーが一つというのは驚きです。
トイレは二つのみ。(トイレ、トイレ&シャワー)
鍵は外の入り口も空いているので、誰でも出入り可能な状態です。
スタップの対応は良かったので、清掃や、設備の問題が残念でした。
- Tohma Yoshida (5/5): - Very good location No lockers, WiFi was not working
- Juliana (5/5): Alojamiento correcto para una noche rápida. - Ubicación buena La limpieza y la atención podrían ser mejores, nos despertaron unos señores que venían a arreglar la luz y no se nos avisó la noche anterior, se nos dió más tiempo para el check out a cambio, pero es un detalle feo.
- Sergio (9/5): -
- Alifuat (10/5): -
- Nathalie (7/5): - L’auberge est très bien située, en plein centre-ville, ce qui est vraiment pratique En revanche, il n’y a qu’une seule salle de bain pour plusieurs dortoirs, l’eau n’était pas chaude et il n’y avait pas assez de casiers pour le nombre de lits. Les chambres côté rue sont très bruyantes et beaucoup de clients ne respectent pas les horaires de silence. La décoration est vieillotte, le mobilier est ancien et peu pratique. Enfin, les odeurs de fumée dans la cour entraintt dans les chambres (cigarettes et marijuana) sint très gênantes.
Pendàt mes trois nuits il n’y avait pas de wifi et cela déjà depuis des jours avant mon arrivée ( j’ai dû achetée une carte sim).

- İlkgül (3/5): - Bir şeyi sevemedim,geldiğim gün bir personel bana zorla cep telefonu aldırmaya çabaladı,telim kendilerinde olduğu için 1 hafta rahatsız edildim ısrarla cep telefonu alınmasını rica etti!! Personel rahatsizligi
- xiaoming (7/5): 挺好的 - 挺好的,工作人员很友好 厨房炊具少了一点
- Diaz (6/5): -
- Yoni (3/5): - The staff were very nice and even offered me to join them for dinner.
Central location Rooms are right next to road, alot of noise.
No ac or fans in the room.
Wifi didnt work.
Only 1 shower for the entire hostel, that didnt even have hot water.
Kitchen wasnt very well equipped.
- Jalil (5/5): -
- Tatyana (8/5): - Не было интернета, что для меня очень важно. Первый раз за все время с таким столкнулась
- Tomohisa (3/5): Wi-Fiが使えることが最優先です! - バス停や販売店、博物館などがホステルの近くにあり、とても便利です。 Wi-Fiがいつも使えないのに、なぜ修理しないのですか?
ホテルの以外は良かったですよ。
- Madelen (4/5): Dessverre ingen god opplevelse. - Beliggenheten og at de tok imot oss etter innsjekktidspunkt. Dårlig renhold, hyggelig bakgård som beskrevet finnes ikke. Ingen internett. Ulåst dører
- Kristina (4/5): Не стоит свои денег. Лучше выбрать вариант получше. - Единственный плюс это удобное расположение, через дорогу старый рынок, где можно перекусить или купить сувениры. Также для меня был плюс, что через дорогу есть мечеть. Ну еще меня заселили раньше времени, за это тоже огромное спасибо. Постель была с дырками, везде не убрано, в душевой комнате волосы, вода. В комнате не было шкафов как на фото. Сдачу тоже не дали от суммы заселения, пусть и немного, но всё же.. ну на одну ночь может и нормально, больше нет.
- King (6/5): - Good location and cheap. Wifi doesn't work, bathroom and kitchen not very tidy/clean but you get what you pay for.

- Yu (8/5): -
- Svea (6/5): - Flexible owner, leaving luggage there after check out was easy, perfect location, super close to the old town Bed was super uncomfortable, bathrooms okay clean but could be better. No proper common area. It has potential, but so far, not much has been done with that
- Mudassar (10/5): -
- Shogo (1/5): -
- CHI (6/5): - 位置離老城區很近、性價比很好,房間乾淨 廚房設備以及衛浴設備老舊,勉強可用程度
- El hombre del Monte (10/5): Great value and location. - The guys at Waterfall Hostel are amazing. The hostel is clean, quiet and a great location. Would recommend.
- Mudassar (10/5): -
- Gülse (8/5): İyi - Konumu çok güzeldi. Hostel sahibi yardımcı oldu karma odada kaldığım için ve hassasiyetim olduğu için yatağımın olduğu kısmı perde ile örttüler bu güzel bir artıydı İnternet ara ara çekmedi ve mutfak eşyası yeterli değildi
- SK FAHIM TAHMID (9/5): -
- Amy (8/5): Perfect area, nice staff, overall good - Amazing location, it really can’t be beat No locks and no lockers, no bed curtains, felt a bit exposed
- 汽车租赁 (10/5): -
- Shabnam (4/5): - I chose this hostel because it was one of the few in Sarajevo offering a female-only dorm. Unfortunately, it felt less safe than a mixed dorm, as the front door is always open and leads directly into the female dorm – meaning anyone from the street can walk in. The room can only be locked from the inside, and no individual keys are provided.
There were no lockers, bedside lamps, trash can, or even a functioning chair – just bare beds. Hygiene was poor, and there’s only one bathroom for the entire hostel, which meant constant queues. Staff seemed disorganized and were unable to provide spare keys or solutions to basic problems.
The only upside is the central location, but overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place – especially not for women traveling alone.
- shengliang (5/5): *.,.. V , Z - 距离市中心很近,一般 厨房火力太小了,床单也不打算换,还得我要求旅馆换床单,要不然就是乱糟糟的床单就让我入住了,

- Sara (7/5): -
- Cameron (3/5): -
- Nicholas (5/5): You get what you pay for at the end of the day, not the worst I’ve stayed in on this trip but not the best either. - The guys who run it are really helpful No big lockers to secure large bags and suitcases, not clean in some areas, eg bins overflowing in kitchen, no toilet rolls in bathroom on a couple of occasions
- بو سلطان (1/5): - الموقع فقط مناسب قريب من السوق القديم . لا توجد خصوصية اسره مشتركة وروائح كريهه من قبل المدخنين ولا توجد نظافة .
- Kalina (10/5): - Всичко беше идеално, за една нощувка нямаше проблеми.
- Aleksa Milojević (10/5): -
- Ryo (5/5): - 立地が大変よい。 シャワーは水しか出ず、スタッフが夜間いないためどうにもできなかった。また、トイレットペーパーが切れても予備がどこにあるのかわからず大変困った。
シャワー室の床がびしょびしょ、排水溝のところに大量の髪の毛があり、気分を害した。もう泊まることはないかな……
- Carolina (2/5): No recomiendo. - Nada. Solo la ubicación. Lugar descuidado y muy sucio.
El baño era desagradable y no hizo más que empeorar durante las horas de mi estancia.
Dudo mucho que cambien las sábanas.
Hostel lleno de hombres, no se sentía muy amigable para una mujer.
El personal era muy extraño. Se metió el hombre en la habitación a medianoche cuando dormía a pedirme que pagara, siendo q esa mañana les pregunté si necesitaban mi pasaporte y que pagara allí y me dijeron que no.
Fui esta mañana a pagar y habían dos hombres durmiendo en la recepción.
No recomiendo para nada.

- Olga (7/5): - Location is great It could be cleaner. Also it wasn’t so safe especially for female travelers
- Zhong Wen (9/5): Staff is amazing, but there is seemingly short of staff. -
- Mazzy (7/5): - very close to city center and all tourist sites. staff is friendly and helpful. very good value for the location if you need a quick place to sleep, shower, and prep meals while traveling. only one shower and two bathrooms for 20+ people. shower was often unclean and toilets often without toilet paper. front door and hostel door are unlocked 24/7 so anyone can walk in off the street.
- Liam (1/5): Didn’t stay they’re - Nothing Hostel was closed on arrival and didn’t respond to any of my calls/texts earlier in the day
- Orhan (1/5): - ---
Zeer slechte ervaring – boeking twee keer weggegeven
Ik heb hier een bijzonder slechte ervaring gehad. Mijn bed is twee keer aan iemand anders gegeven, terwijl ik gewoon gereserveerd had. Zoiets heb ik nog nooit meegemaakt. De communicatie met de staff was chaotisch en totaal niet professioneel – ze leken zelf niet te weten wat ze aan het doen waren. Pas na alle problemen kreeg ik uiteindelijk een excuses aangeboden, maar dat maakt de situatie niet goed.
Echt een schande, ik raad dit hostel absoluut niet aan!!!
