"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."

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

"All the staff there is lovely, friendly and unique in their own ways, it feels more like a family than a hostel. Friendliness, warmth and sincerity is what characterize ArkaBarka. This is my third stay and in my heart will always be my favorite spot to chill on the Danube, It's a most charming place where you can escape the chaos and activity of New Belgrade."
"Aucun."
