    Nothing

    The property was in a fantastic location- there’s a small supermarket 2 mins up the road (which takes card!) and the old bridge is 5 minutes walk away. The staff working there are wonderful. On my last night I got really ill, and Tyler at the front desk helped me carry my bags to the break room, let me sleep and recover down there all day, then called me a cab and helped me get to the bus stop. Raymond worked around me when I was late to check out because I had been ill and we had a nice chat. They were so kind and accommodating which honestly makes such a difference when you’re travelling alone and bad things happen to you. I nearly forgot how sick I felt- they were so kind to me. The tour which they offer at the hostel is magnificent and spectacular value for money- and the owner who takes you himself is so charismatic and funny, which makes it that much more special. He took just me and one other guy out on this tour, helped us out when we didn’t have cash at cash only spots, drove us through checkpoints where others had to walk (because he had the “Balkan secrets”), taught us bits of Bosnian history all while making us laugh non stop- all round he made the tour that much more special- so while there are others out there, I don’t think any would be quite as fun as the one the hostel offers. The rooms themselves are really comfortable and quiet. The air con was a godsend. The Wi-Fi works well. Everything is very clean. All up, this place is extraordinarily good value for money.

    After a workday I would have wanted to enjoy one cold beer alone in the garden and was not allowed. Everyone needs to be in bed at midnight.

    It is a good hostel with good location. Nice staff workin in there. Good AC.

Confortable beds with curtains, towel, room was very clean, very good wifi, small kitchen and I enjoy there. I booked tour with them, it was much more cheaper then book with someone else, with professional description of each vistit place. Best value for price! Recomended!!

    The location was great close to the old town and.The staff is here to help you with evrything. The beds were comfortable with curtains, the bathroom clean, there was air conditioning in the rooms, the kitchen was nice. And the tour they offer is incredible and would highly recommend going. It is good value for money, the owner takes you on the tour and is so friendly and lets you choose your own pace, and you get to see so much of the surrounding areas.

    The owner was lovely upon arrival to check in, and helped me with my bags to my room explaining everything to me. I loved the privacy curtain and size of lockers! The bed was comfy and it was only a short one night stay for me but met everything I needed before going for my original booking elsewhere the next day. Would definitely go back here. The atmosphere seemed good and they were running tours each day. The person on check out offered to help me with laundry as well when I was seeking somewhere to go en route to the next place.

    Well located. Close to the city Center but far from the bus station. Clean rooms Fedjar is a great host and amazing tour guide. Recommend the tour to the Kravice falls with him

    If you are in Mostar, you must stay at Hostel Balkaneros. It is simply the best. I felt so welcomed here by the host and the other travellers. The rooms are comfortable and homely. Only a 3 min walk from the old bridge, you really can’t go wrong.

    Don’t often write reviews but feel I must after such a wonderful stay. If you are looking for a homely place with a friendly relaxing atmosphere this is the place for you! From the get go Fedja and volunteers were extremely welcoming, even offering me food when my delayed bus arrived extremely late. It is small but intimate place where feel very close with the hosts and other guests in the common area and over food. Can’t forget about the incredible day tour by Fedja, one of the best tours I have ever been on!
