  : Very nice and welcoming host who was already awaiting me and talked to me in my native language German. The room was not big, but had everything necessary. Bath room was big enough, WIFI was brilliant. As everyone has his own room and there is not really a living room it's more like a hotel than a hostel. Just one kilometer away there is a small lake and thereafter you can reach Save river within a 15 minute walk.
  : The hostel is situated like in the suburbs of Brko. Although I did not hear much of the main street I was happy to have a car so I could easily reach Brko downtown.

  : Good location close to the city center, good bakery with burek and 24h petrol station. Parking on site available.
  : Quite a small window in the room, was OK with single occupancy. Not many place to hang out the wet towel. Payment by cash only (wasn't problem for me, ATM is also quite close).

  : Nice hostel with a very helpfull nice host who can speak beside Serbian/Bosnian also German and English. Rooms are very comfortable. Beds are also comfortable. Rooms are clean and have nice atmosphere. I could pay in euro's or marka when i arrived, no need first to change money. There is a bakery 'pekara' just 50 meters from the hostel which is open untill 21 hours, a restaurant only 50 meters away and drinking coffee only 10 meters away. Wifi is excellent. Brcko itself is a nice town with a nice pedestrian area and on walking distance from the river Sava and the border crossing with Croatia. From the hostel it's only a short walk to the river Sava and also a little shop is close to the hostel. From busstation of Brcko there are several daily busses to all parts of Bosnia and former Yugoslav republics and even as far as Germany. Novi Sad (Serbia) for example is a short bustrip away from Brcko. Do not rely on online timetables they are useless. Ask information inside busstation. If you want to send letters to your friends, real mail not e-mail, the Serbian post seems more cheap then the Bosnian Federation post. Brcko seem to have two postal entities. During Christmas and holidays shop around as the Federation have other day of closure as the Serbs. And it seems also other tarifs for sending mail. The area is perfect for cycling, so if you have your own bike it's great cycling and really just a short hop to town by bike.
  : Location is a little out of town, with public transport it is from the central busstation about 4 kilometers walking (although it is a good paved walking path) and there is also a local bus (however i do not yet know any timetable) you have to get out at the busstop Antunovic Pumpa right before the 'pekara' and after the gasoline pump. I think all buses to Gorice and Lonzari are also stopping at Antunovic Pumpa. Taxi charged 900 Dinar / 7,50 euro / 15 Marka (probably too much). From the hostel to town Brcko however is far more easy as all buses that stop at Antunovic Pumpa go to town. I also walked it, it's a nice walk about 50 minutes. Trains do no longer run. If other guest know more about local busses feel free to add more information.
