Reviews of Waterfall Hostel

Very good location

No lockers, WiFi was not working

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.

Amazing location and good value for money

Good location

The bedding can be improved and cleanliness as well.

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.

Good location and cheap.

Wifi doesn't work, bathroom and kitchen not very tidy/clean but you get what you pay for.

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

The guys at Waterfall Hostel are amazing. The hostel is clean, quiet and a great location. Would recommend.

Amazing location, it really can’t be beat

No locks and no lockers, no bed curtains, felt a bit exposed

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.

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
