The staff were so helpful and friendly. They helped me find a large cab to take my bike box to the airport. And even helped me carry it all the way to the street!

The only thing lacking was the shower, it’s right in the bathroom in the middle of the and it’s kind of impossible to not make a mess (no shower courtship, just shower head and wooden planks in the floor between toilet and sink)

Nice location right next to the river. Food was tasty (all you can eat) and nice rooms with a terrace.

It’s a touristic destination on its own. The view of the Danube river and the Veliko ratno ostrvo in a sunny summer day is just delightful.

The hostel's page lists a free airport transfer but this turned out to be false and it actually costs 30-35 euro one way.

A lovely spot on the river with an amazing breakfast. The rooms are basic but functional.

Aleksander and the staff at Arka Barka Floating Hostel were amazing! They understand the meaning of hospitality and I was made to feel welcome the moment I stepped through the door. 85 000 stars! I have stayed in hostels in 47 countries on 5 different continents, and this was by far the warmest, most genuine reception I have received in many years of travel. The place has an excellent chill vibe away from the chaos of downtown Belgrade. Don’t bother looking elsewhere if you want a fabulous, unique and alternative accommodation to the usual when visiting Belgrade. Also worth mentioning that the room rate includes a free breakfast buffet that is both filling and absolutely delicious! Try the burek and ajvar, you will not be disappointed.

Very cool hostel, not the first time here. Day one was very hot, nearly 40 degrees, but at night the temperature was OK. All rooms got brand new air conditioning! The location is nice, at the river. To walk into the old down it will take maybe 20 minutes? Near the hostel I found multiple pizza places, google for pizza with maps in that area (I was Di Napoli and Pizza Bar). The hostel offers different IPA - I tried them all.

It’s not very close to downtown (relative to the size of the city but taxi wasn’t expensive), but honestly was so relaxing. We were exhausted but loved staying up til 4 am just enjoying the river and seeing the fortress lit up.

Beautiful dock to sit and enjoy. Breakfast was good. Was a very enjoyable, but unfortunately short, stay. Hope to back soon.

Excellent experience of stay. Barka is located at a quiet park, that is just 20-25 minutes from the old town. So you have benefits of living in the nature and at city center at the same time. The hosts are very welcoming and pleasant. Thus, I have no regrets in choosing a floating hostel over a regular one.

Super nice place! The staff was more than friendly! If you're looking for a good place to spend your time in Belgrade this is definitely it.

The room is tired, it would be nice to freshen it up. The room is very small for 4 people. The bathroom is small, there is no storage space, hooks.

The staff is very friendly. Unusual hotel concept. Amazing location on the Danube river in big green park, close to shopping mall and Old City, Fortress(we go there on foot with kids, approximately 25-30 min).

No transport takes you directly there, you must walk a bit through a park.

It's a nice hostel, nice to park if you like walking, or running for instance. Close to the bus stop, restaurants.

A cool quiet hostel with extremely nice and friendly staff (and a cat who sometimes sits in the common area <3 ). They will help with any doubts or questions regarding the place or visiting Belgrade. Good breakfast with a few options in a form of buffet. Wifi works well. The location, apart from being in a peaceful park at the water, is close to the old city center - there are 2 frequent public buses with a nearby bus stop (closer than the parking) or 30mins walking across Brankov bridge - which is worth do to at least once for the views.

Arka Barka is my spot in Belgrade. The most picturesque and incredible place. Breakfast on the terrace watching the sunrise on the Danube. Magic. Fabulous vibe, wonderful friendly staff.
