This was our third time staying at the Muslibegovic House hotel in Mostar. The first two times were over a decade ago. It was great to be back, and it was just as lovely as I had remembered it. This is an awesome place to stay for a true cultural immersion experience. The house is gorgeous, the grounds are lovely, and the family that owns and operates it are great hosts. This time we stayed in two of the three rooms in the newer building adjacent to the big house (above the breakfast room). It was a good choice for us with three kids. Its definitely not the same thing as staying in a normal hotel, but I think the pros outweigh the cons. Cons, if you can call them that, are that each room is unique, with different shape, size and layout. You have to take off your shoes at the entrance. Its not a fancy breakfast but it is delicious and filling. The hot water does run out if two people shower in a row. If you are in the main house, tourists do come through from time to time who are only touring the house, not staying in it. If you are in the side house like we were, that is not an issue. Also no wifi in the side house, we had to use it on the table near the reception. Pros: beyond it being an absolutely beautiful, historic, and unique hotel: It's only about a 10 min walk to the old bridge which makes it very central and convenient. I highly recommend this place for anyone...

The monument complex includes a residential building and two courtyards, including the surrounding walls with entrance gateways, and movable property. Some of its most valuable exhibits include the manuscript of the Qur'an made by Sami levhas from 1855, and a decorated sabre from 1866. The residential complex of the Muslibegović family, located in Mostar's Brankovac mahala, dates from the second half of the 18th century.
The main house was extended in the period between 1871 and 1872, when two rooms were added on the ground floor and two additional ones on the upper floor. According to a former building owner, Muhamed Muslibegović, the building works were carried out by a man referred to as Janjic, though the wood carvings, which took two years to complete, were imported from other regions. The house was commissioned by Mehmed Muslibegović, who owned extensive land properties, particularly in Popovo polje. The Muslibegović family house is considered one of the most significant examples of residential architecture of Ottoman-era Herzegovina. The complex has preserved its original residential use and ownership over the years. Today, the section of a building is used as hotel and it consists of twelve bedrooms. The house has been declared the as one of the world's best...
