A Fair Price to Pay

Po_persom
At the LjubiÄ?ica Hostel, the prices depend on the language you speak.

The Bosnian travel agency/hostel LjubiÄ?ica has a price list that can best be described as “creative.” The price of a room changes according to the language you understand, so that Italian speakers pay double the price of, say, an English-speaker.

The Hostel LjubiÄ?ica is in BaÅ¡Ä?arÅ¡ija, smack in the center of Sarajevo. The website Hostelz has mixed reviews of the place. One guy angrily writes:

The rooms smell, the staff are unfriendly, and usually the bathrooms are flooded. This place is very unprofessional. It’s a complete mess that will interest only the most indifferent traveller.

The good news: their pricing structure is now 10-16 euros depending on what kind of room you want.

(Thanks Dejan!)

    I love the font and colors! They match the email address at the bottom so well. Ah, modern times.

    He he, back in the day pf socialist Yugoslavia, the members of the yugoslav unions (SZDL) got a 50% discount on a lot of things, from road toll to hotel prices, to grocery stores. Since every citizen of Yugoslavia was automatically a union member, that basically doubled the prices for all foreigners! :) And they were still coming in throngs in the summer, it was so cheap.

    Why would Italians be given the highest rates?

    Because they are more messy?

    I really don’t know.

    Why would Italians be given the highest rates?

    Because there is more hair to clean up in the shower drain afterward?

    Okay, I really don’t know either.

    Italian has to pay more because nobody understands their language!
