From
Bosnia and HerzegovinaI stayed 5 days with a friend. We arrived without a reservation but to be able to share my experience I made a reservation because I felt the need to defend this absolutely cool place against this platform and a special guest.
We also had the pleasure to meet this Italian guy (Carmine, left a 3 star review) who was constantly trying to provoke others. I witnessed that the guy, mid-end of his 40s start picking on a young french girl in the kitchen that felt intimidated and didn't know how to react, but the owner, who was preparing a BBQ for the guests, saw it and told the guy that there is no room at this place for sexism or inappropriate behaviour against women. While she expressed her gratitude, the guy started to argue until the owner told him if he doesn't stop now he has to leave. That was just an example for his behaviour...
One night we had a beer on the roof terrace with the Klas the owner. It was two days after that Italian guy was asked to leave finally and the day he left his review. Klas expressed his concerns against this platform and that they are not able to stop these kind of guests from writing wrong accusations because this platform here doesn't care.
From the hostels I have been so far on this trip, this was clearly the best. The owner has a strong left wing political attitude and I think that in times like this there is a need for people and places like this.
You will meet people like this Italian guy in every 2nd hostel but it's important how the people running the hostel deal with that. To many hostels don't care as long as the guests pays.
If you like values like being against fascism, homophobia, sexism, ablesim and so on, this is the place to go.
Well done guys and thank you for the good times.
