About
Boho Hostel - Koh Lanta
Boho Hostel sits in Ban Saladan, Koh Lanta's main village, a short walk from the ferry pier and the local market. With just seven rooms, it keeps things small and personal, run by a Thai-European couple who know the island well.
The hostel is built around its shared spaces: a deck overlooking the bay, a lounge area with garden furniture, and an outdoor dining spot. It's the kind of place where guests gather for coffee, swap travel tips, and head out on rented motorbikes to explore the island's beaches.

8.9Verified guest“We had a brilliant time here. The hosts, a Thai man and a European woman, were lovely and made our stay really pleasant. The location is great – close to the pier, so it was easy to walk over. We explored the island on a motorbike they helped us rent. There's laundry service, a bar, and a cosy backyard with lovely river and sea views. The lounge was perfect for relaxing and eating. Plenty of restaurants, travel agencies, dive centres, and a market are within walking distance. Breakfast, especially the pancakes and coffee, was delicious. The staff are adorable, helpful, and friendly, and the Wi-Fi was solid.”
