Definitely the best place to stay in Mostar, you need to take the tour. It's by far the best tour I've ever done and like nothing you could ever experience on your own. Most people who come here stay longer than they expected, so be prepared to truly love a place that makes you feel at home and really is the definition of "chill". I have stayed in hotels, Airbnbs, and hostels over the years, and want to come back here because it's an experience like no other. You can book a private room via hostelworld if you prefer that, and the room and shower are really nice, rivalling other hotels and Airbnbs in the Balkans.

This place is not even a hostel, it's an institution. They are famous with backpackers all over the Balkans for Majda's warm welcome (and delicious homemade food) and Bata's tour of the nearby places. The tour may seem like it's the same sold around the city, and it does go to the same places, but it's unique because of the experiences he shares about the war, exile and his life now in a divided city. A few years later, it's still one of my most cherished travel memories.

Honestly amazing, more of a home than a hostel, extremely friendly and go out of their way to help out and share the history of Mostar..

I had a truly memorable stay at this hostel. The owners are welcoming and loving -- I honestly felt that they went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. Taking the guided tour is probably the best way to get a full sense of what Mostar and the neighboring towns and villages are like.

The best hostel I've stayed in. Great location. 5 mins from the old town. 2 mins from the bus station. Shops and local restaurants close by.
The hostel staff are amazing. They give you time to chat on checkin to get to know you a bit and to tell you some info on Mostar. The facilities are perfect - clean and cosy. The indoor and outdoor public areas are really nice and comfortable. Breakfast in the morning is amazing.response / report this review -

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed at, and I've been to quite a few.
The hostel is spotlessly clean, yet has an amazing homely feeling to it. There are enough showers, which are also perfect. The WiFi is fantastic and the beds comfortable.
But the most important part of all, you feel at home here and the staff goes to great lengths to give you that feeling. They remember your name, they give you a nice home made cake when you arrive and the breakfast is the best I've ever had in a hostel.
Go on the tour they organise, it was the highlight of my three week holiday.response / report this review -

Wonderful place, everyone is just wonderful, love this place. Batas tour is a must do, if you're not an ignorant bastard who don't care in which part of the world his drinking his beer at the moment. You will get a deep insight into the history of Mostar and BiH. The tour starts at noon and is about 12 hours long, so I would recommend at least 2 nights stay at Majdas. Don't get fooled by the bad ratings, those fools just don't know how to behave them self, yes there are a few rules at this hostel, but they're there to make your stay even better. So no shoes inside, no heavy drinking in the common spaces and if you're not sure about something ask first, do later and you will have the best experience of Mostar there can be.

Amazing hostel and uniquely hospitable staff. Had a real homely feel. If you visit Mostar and don't do the tour you didn't really visit Mostar. Facilities were always available and comfortable, rooms clean and tidy and overall the level of comfort was incredible. Very modestly priced as well. I would like to be back one day :) Can not recommend enough

Majdas hostel is a warm welcome colourful hostel (literally and metaphorically). A wonderful open and friendly atmosphere with plenty of comfortable chill out space. Super clean bathrooms and spaceoues rooms with comfortable beds.
The staff are such beautiful spirits and I would highly recommend if you only do one thing in Mostar that you go on Batas day tour. There are are no words to describe how deeply it touched me with its depth and beauty of this amazing country and it's people.response / report this review -

One of the best hostels I've stayed in. The owners Bata and Majdas are lovely and welcoming, with some fascinating stories. Stay a few days and do the tour!!

My trip to Mostar was purely accidental as I missed a bus to Albania. Best accident ever.
Read the other reviews, they rave. It's all true. I've never met hostel owners that are so eager to meet you, get to know you, and invite you into their lives. Everyone is gathered together for breakfast and they make each one individually, changing the menu daily. Great pleasure is taken in ensuring you have a great experience. When you arrive, you get to color your own nametag for your bed. They treat you as a person, not a number. If you're a solo traveler, you've hit a gold mine, I met so many friends those 2 nights, and we all still keep in touch.
And Bata's day tour. It's the best I've been on. Simultaneously informative, fun, funny and deeply affecting. He tells you about his extremely personal experience with the war, taking you to the places it happened. Fun follows, in the form of waterfalls, a charming village, and a gorgeous monastery. All the while, he's cracking jokes, asking questions, and giving context. It's more of a performance than a tour, and he's at home on stage.
So book your place, this is the authentic experience you've been seeking.response / report this review -

Best hostel I've ever been to. Majda and Bata are awesome hosts and two of the most kind people in the world. Listening to their lifestory and love for Bosnia is truly an amazing experience! I'll be back soon, hopefully :)

Better price/performance than most other five stars I've given. Clean and welcoming. The single room I stayed in was hotel standard.
I joined the tour arranged by the hostel. Also five stars witjout hesitation. It covers the Mostar essentials and combines fun and education. But be prepared for rather long, fierce talks about the war and other local history.response / report this review -

Great hostel! The service was excellent. When we arrive, then woman from the hostel greeted us with coffee and cake. They were really helpful, recommending us different places. I enjoyed my stay here.
