ArkaBarka Floating Hostel Reviews on Other Websites

A bit of a walk into town, but you can't find a more charming and unique place in Belgrade! — Customer review (2011-12-14) Hostelbookers

First off it was on a boat, which was really chilled out and relaxed. Staff were very helpful and took the time to explain a few things about the city to us. Breakfast was filling, views great. It was a bit more expensive than some of the other hostels but well worth it. Location was good to the floating bars, buses very frequent and cheep into the city or to Zemun. — jessica rankine (2011-10-18) Hostelbookers

Very friendly staff, very close to the splavs, very cheap but very clean with good facilities (no kitchen). Great bar but a little expensive — Customer review (2011-08-24) Hostelbookers

Nice staff! Offered welcome drinks and were kind and gave answers on all questions. — Ilmars Tilgalis (2011-08-07) Hostelbookers

the staff were excellent - they were informative and keen to help out when we had queries about travel. — Customer review (2011-08-02) Hostelbookers

Chose this hostel purely for the novelty factor but had a really enjoyable stay - the bar/cafe area is great, its nice to not be in the centre of the city (there is a park adjoining) and there is plenty to do nearby including boat cruises and shopping. And its on a boat! — Allanah Berry (2011-07-10) Hostelbookers

It's a different (in a good way) sort of place. There is a lovely terrace right on the river, it's quiet and the staff are always willing to serve a drink. On a warm summer evening, it's easy to chat to other guests, have a drink and just admire the river. It's more of a hostel/hotel because there are private rooms. The best thing for me was being surrounded by nature but not that far from the city by bus and a short walk across the park. — Customer review (2011-06-15) Hostelbookers

The location of the hostel is really good, the atmoshpere is awesome to and the views are amazing. Its a really fun unique place to stay! — David Lewis (2010-07-06) Hostelbookers

ArkaBarka on the shore of the Donau is truelly a wonderfull location to stay. Service is exelent. Rooms are clean and well maintained. The bar with its terras on the river side invites for a drink. Showers and toilets need more frequent and pro-found cleaning, but compared to other hostels one could still call them 'clean'. Sometimes there is noice disturbance from the floating dancings 500 meter up river. — Customer review (2010-06-11) Hostelbookers

location nice in a beautiful surrounding.However, badly signed and difficult to access when you arrive by train or bus if depending on public transport. — Lars Erik Hermansson (2009-10-23) Hostelbookers
