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.

“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.”

“I had a lovely stay in this charming hostel in a lively area. Just a short walk from the ferry pier, it was surrounded by restaurants and shops. The owners were so friendly and helpful, even looking after my luggage when I arrived early and left late. The hostel was peaceful, with a beautiful deck over the bay where I could relax with a drink. Rooms were basic but comfortable, and the air conditioning was great. Checking in and out was a breeze, and there were shared facilities like a fridge and water jug in the common area. I'd definitely recommend this budget pick for a short stay in Ban Saladan.”

They pointed me to a great motorbike rental, which was perfect for getting around the island. Laundry service, a bar with tasty drinks, and a cosy backyard with beautiful river and sea views – it's a great place to chill.”
