Guest reviews for Hostel Mak
"The room was as described. It was clean and spacious. Very comfortable."
"I put the heater at the highest but it was still a bit chilly. I used two blankets so it was no problem though. And the bathroom smells like cigarette smoke."

"I liked the central location and the price compared to the private space"
"Aucun."
"This is an excellent choice for a clean, affordable, and convenient stay right in downtown Sarajevo. The host was exceptionally accommodating and easy to communicate with. My train was delayed and he met me on the street at 11:30 p.m to show me to my room, making the easiest check in I have had in the Balkans. Despite being centrally located the accommodation is very private, and even though there was a loud concert on the street very near the room, it was absolutely silent in the room while I slept. The place was clean, bathroom in excellent shape, and the bed was very comfortable. I can not say enough about the hospitality of the host, he was just great. I highly recommend!"

"It was an awesome place, in the heart of city centre very close to all tourists attractions. Very clean, neat and silent place, mor than my expectations, I would definitely like to stay again, highly recommend, and great value for money."
"Because of weekend, nobody was there, no staff, no guest in other rooms, I was alone. And I like social life not loneliness. But faced no problem at all reception was closed though."
"Amazing staff, waited till I arrived which was way later than anticipated."
"Cash only, don’t take credit card."
"I had a private room, it was pretty basic but amazing value for what you pay. The staff was absolutely amazing, so nice, responsive over message and so accommodating! It’s a great location, close to everything. I kept extending and they accommodated without any issue. Would absolutely recommend!"

"facilities are basic but the building is new, well-kept and clean, the same applies to furniture. there is a fridge. location probably can't be better."
"Aucun."
"Central location. plenty of mini-markets around. Very responsive and caring host. Super clean room and well constructed bathroom with proper hot shower. I had a (family)room for four all for myself, but if to be shared with three other backpackers the room might feel 'full'. The hostel is actually three levels with indepedent rooms an without visible staff. The desolated complex is well protected by a door that shuts automatically if you leave the hostel. The reception is actually done by friendly staff of the copy and print shop next door. After working hours somebody will be welcoming you within 5 minutes after you call."
"It can be difficult to find. Google Maps and other apps get confused. That's because the hostel is situated inside a building block. The block has four entrances (two on the mainstreet, two on the side of the famous Markale fruit market). The inner court is like a labyrinth. But don't give up and look for signs that say Hostel MAK or look for sings of Kopirnica, the next door print shop. The labyrinth contains some dark corners and some sketchy stores that might make the female solo traveller feel intimidated. But once you've passed this feeling, it will feel nice to sleep in this quiet, hidden, affordable, superclean hostel."

Guest reviews
"Just outside Zvornik (about 4km) and close to a fairly industrial area but the guesthouse itself is surrounded by fields and hills and is quiet and calm Its a simple family-run business with welcoming smile and the host Vezra really wants to make your stay comfortable. Shared bathroom (we hadn't noticed that on booking) but it was not a problem for us (we were two travelling together with two rooms - and no one else was sharing the bathroom ). We slept well. Son Stefan helped us with translation and we managed to communicate in English OK. Good breakfast (great coffee) for Euro 3 only which was good value. If you want a break from bland business-type hotels come and spend the night here."
