Tarcin Forest Resort & Spa Sarajevo - MGallery Collection

We arrived late at night with our three young children, tired after a long journey. We had booked a villa and were looking forward to a peaceful and pleasant stay, but unfortunately, we were deeply disappointed. As soon as we entered the villa, we were greeted by an unpleasant sight: long-legged silverfish crawling on the ceiling, a dead beetle in the shower, and spiders hanging from the ceiling. My husband had to go to the reception, and we were promised two rooms in the main building instead. When we finally reached those rooms, they were no better. We found a live silverfish on the floor in one of the rooms, and outside our other room, there was a large dead brown beetle. We felt very uncomfortable staying there due to the pests and insects, and now we were left without accommodation in Sarajevo in the middle of the night, with three tired and disappointed children. We contacted the hotel's manager, Nermin Horman, who informed us that they would not reimburse us for the nights, even though we had paid over 500 euros for accommodation that we never used. After a long night of searching for another hotel, we eventually found a room at Ibis Styles. When we checked in, we realized that it was actually a sister hotel to Tarcin. The room was okay, but the breakfast was another disappointment. Dirty plates, an unappetizing buffet, and ants in the restaurant quickly made us realize that we didn’t want to stay here either.

There was a wedging at the hotel and therefore no access to the restaurant and we had to order room service which is a shame. The breakfast was not nice (not fresh cakes and only a few options)

I had villa room. Very clean and cosy compared to villas in other countries. Bathroom: i have noticed in eastern europe and central asia they seem to all have the foul drainage smell in all bathrooms. It must be the way drainage is designed. For a 5 star the toiletries wasn't on par. No fans, leave window open 24/7. Toilets have bidets in rooms but not in public areas, no issues with running water. Breakfast: expected alot more for 5 star. It was average. Dinner: excellent food. All dishes were tasty. Mohitoes not expensive. Mensur is the best. Very friendly and welcoming same with all staff. Staff: everyone polite and friendly, however there is always the odd one that dont like their job or not bothered to go that extra mile. For example reluctant to help get rental car or told us when all horse riding places where closed. They have lazy horse ranch 10minutes away which is open every day all year around. I would stay again. Very peacfull and quite. However it is far from city center, mostar and waterfall. Theg have baby horse kids can feed and pet as well as a few goats. Visitied early april 2025. Weather was freezing. Sometimes snow. Started to get warm just before i left. Games area downstairs, not much to do. Pinball machine half worked. They have softplay for kids on ground floor very helpful.

Super Hotel und super Zimmer. Sehr gutes Restaurant

Amazing

Det står om TARCIN HOTELL AND SPA at alle rom har utsikt til fjellene. Vi så rett på parkering og trær, null fjell. Å dusje bare med hånddusj var ikke mulig, da bryter for å veksle dusj-tak, ikke virket. Kjøleskapet virket heller ikke, og dør-håndtak til balkong var helt løst. Men alt annet er topp, servitører er PRIMA👍

Truly a must visit and stay in property when you’re in Bosnia

Das Tarcin Forest Resort ist ein gutes Hotel an einer atemberaubenden Lage. Das Personal ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Sie tun alles, um die Gäste zufrieden zu stellen. Vom Innenpool aus hat man ebenfalls eine tolle Aussicht und kann sich auf der Aussenterasse sonnen. Die Zimmer sind sehr grosszügig ausgelegt und sehr sauber. Das Frühstück ist ausgezeichnet. Positiv zu erwähnen ist auch die tollen und kostenlosen Ladestationen für Elektroautos, welche wir gerne beansprucht hatten. Leider sind wir dennoch nicht ganz zufrieden. Das Hotel wird als Luxushotel angepriesen, vor Ort sogar als 5 Sterne Hotel. Dies ist es nach internationalen Standards bei weitem nicht. Das Hotel wurde 2018 gebaut. Es scheint uns, als ob das Hotel durch Corona stark gelitten hat. Einige Bauten (Villen) und Anlagen wurden bis heute nicht fertiggestellt. Zudem leidet nun der Unterhalt. Abgenutzte Möbel auf den Zimmern und rostige Container in den WC's beim Pool sind nur einige Beispiele. Die Möblierung im Restaurant erinnern uns eher an eine Kantine. Leider scheinen die Bosnier es mit dem Abfall nicht sehr genau zu nehmen. Auf der Zufahrt zum Hotel liegt überall Abfall herum, was nicht sehr angenehm ist. Das Hotel wird mehrheitlich von Muslimen und arabischen Gästen gebucht. Das ist grundsätzlich kein Problem, aber es gibt dadurch im ganzen Hotel keinen Alkohol. Dies müsste bei der Buchung erwähnt werden! Fazit: Das Hotel ist nicht das Problem. Das Problem ist, wie es vermarktet wird.

Otel çok güzel doğası, havası harika. Çalışanlar çok yardımsever ve kibar teşekkürler.

NO 5 STAR Hotel at all. Poor quality of breakfast & food in general. Expensive Transfers to the airport.

The best hotel in Bosnia

Hôtel au milieu de la forêt avec de belles ballades à faire à pied ou en quad, vélo… les chambres sont spacieuses avec de belles salles de bain. Un étage avec un billard, baby foot et console de jeu. Une fausse note, la piscine était fermée sans que nous en ayons été prévenus au préalable. C’est bien dommage car, elle avait l’air très belle.

The hotel has several villas on their grounds, natural beauty surrounded by forest trees, it was magical with white snow. The villas are of a modern design which are built to compliment the forest environment. To top it all off e enjoyed the hotel wellness and spa facility, rich buffet breakfast and friendly ad attentive service.

The location is amazing in the middle of a forest surrounded by mountains. We spent a wonderful Christmas Eve at the resort. The fitness center is open 24 hours. The outside playground is in the middle of the forest, perfect for children. Overall a wonderful experience. Definitely recommend to families with kids.

It was great! the place is amazing and its highly recommended to have massage their. You have to know that there is no Alcohol :( but you can bring your own . . . I didn't know this before going there :)

You have to specifically ask them to clean the room You have to specifically ask them for water in the room They Overbrook so they didn't give me the room I asked for when I checked in. They gave me a room of lower standard. They did refund me a night stay though

The property location was excellent , the atmosphere was echo friendly , the room was great, the breakfast was quiet and beautiful scenery

Very nice hotel very good staff very good service loved it

Rooms and bath rooms very poor which need more cleaning and good furnitures and amenities Staff not friendly and helpful Except breakfast waiters Quilty of food need more improvement specially vegetables and fruits And there is no items for dietary people

Loved the location, hotel design, facilities it offered, the serenity of the forest, the reception desk staff were fabulous, the spa center staff were extremely polite and helpful, food was excellent. However, we picked the wrong time to go as the hotel had a weekend special for families with 2 children, and children under 12 were there for free and it was extremely noisy as the children were running through the hotel with no parent supervision, loud, screaming, yelling, demanding, whilst both the hotel staff and other guests had to endure it all whilst most of the parents simply assumed the behavior of their children was to be tolerated as they paid for the service. The indoor pool, where it clearly states no jumping was used like a trampoline. The serenity returned Sunday afternoon when most families left the hotel and we purposely stayed back till late to enjoy and reclaim the beauty of the hotel in this serene forest environemnt. Trust me, I am a parent and love children, but when young couples assume that their children can run wild, scream and behave uncultured is "new age" please take us all back to when manners and social behavior were part of child upbringing. Look forward to returning to the hotel, but prior to booking will make sure it is not at a time of their family special.... Seriously, highly recommend the hotel.
