Boasting a terrace, bar and views of sea, BOHO Hostel is situated in Ko Lanta, 2 km from Kaw Kwang Beach. Located around 2.5 km from Klong Dao Beach, the hostel with free WiFi is also 600 metres away from Saladan School. Post Office Ko Lanta is 17 km away and Mu Ko Lanta National Park is 26 km from the hostel.

What I liked the most is the atmosphere when I stay at the terrace above the sea. I was feeling so relaxed, no matter drinking my coffee in the morning or having a beer in the evening. The owners are very nice people and we had a lot of chatting with them. The place is clean and tidy, also having the vibe that a hostel should have. The location is great, having restaurants around, dive shops and a motorbike rental just beside. I was in the beginning of the season and there weren't much people but still I met some nice folks there.

Guests can enjoy relaxing afternoons on the hammocks located in the garden area or chill around the pool before joining in with our nightly events which are the perfect way to pre drink before experiancing Koh Lanta's incredible night life!

It was a great experience at Blanco. Thought it might have been too much party etc, but the vibes are good, and you can choose to chill out. Shout out to the staff, Shannon and Buzz were unreal. They were great, really helped me a lot. Def made me feel comfortable.

Klong Dao Beach is 1.3 km from the hostel, while Saladan School is 3.5 km from the property. The nearest airport is Krabi International Airport, 75 km from Ozone Beach House.

I really loved this place. The location is just perfect. 1 min walking from the beach. Very clean (with body soap in the showers, that I always really appreciate). I stayed in the dorm and it was very clean, with lockers, light for each bed and charging spot next to the light. The mattress is really comfortable. You can always have a tea and warm water as well as a fridge available to everyone. The owners are so nice and helpful. Just ask them an advice for bike rental or how to reach your next location and they will help you book whatever you need. I haven’t felt so welcomed many times during my trips. The owner is also a diving instructor, so we had really nice conversations about diving and he taught me a lot. Absolutely recommended.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Lovely hostel. The owners are super lovely and helpful. Helped us book transport, trips, were super chatty with us and even asked around the hostel to see if others wanted to join us to go to the old town festival that was on to make the taxi cheaper! Bathrooms had enough toilets and showers for everyone and the room was clean and comfortable!

    Best hostel I’ve stayed in on my travels so far.Staff are so kind and will go out of their way to help you in any way they can.Breakfast you have the choice of eggs how you would like them,toast,fruit,juice,tea,coffee and muffins etc. Rooms are clean as well as the bathrooms and the beds are comfortable.Only a two minute walk to the beach and lots of nearby restaurants.There is also a separate quiet area for working and a free popcorn machine which is a nice touch. They also rent out scooters for a cheap price.
