🌿 Welcome to Boho – Your Soulful Stop in Malta 🌿

If you’re a free spirit with a backpack and a love for the offbeat, you’ve just found your Malta home.
Boho isn’t just a hostel; it's a community.

Drop your bag, kick off your shoes, and relax. This charming little oasis is made for solo travellers, long-term wanderers, and curious souls who thrive in good company and real conversations.

🏆 We’re proud to be the most budget-friendly hostel in Malta (your wallet will thank you), and yep – we’ve been crowned Best Hostel in Malta by Hostelworld (2024!) and Top Pick on TripAdvisor for the past 15 years. But awards aside, it’s the people who make Boho what it is.

📍Tucked inside a chilled-out, traditional Maltese townhouse in a quiet corner of St. Julian’s, Boho gives you peace & a good night sleep when you need it, and puts you just a 15 minute stroll away from all the action at Balluta bay. (Heads up: If you prefer to be right in the thick of things, have a look at us on Google Maps before booking.)

☀️ Our courtyard is the heart of Boho, complete with hammocks & outdoor tables. This is where friendships begin, plans are made, and bottles of wine are shared long after the sun goes down.

We’re backpackers ourselves, and locals too, so we know what you’re looking for, and where to find the real Malta. We'll hook you up with maps, tips, and help you plan a route that skips the tourist traps.

🕒 Check-In: from 11:00 - midnight (00:00). Later arrivals are possible via self check in, but if staff assistance is required past midnight a 10€ will apply.
🕤 Check-Out: by 10:30
(We offer 24-hour check-in STARTING from 11am on the day of your booking, but the front desk is open from 08:00–12:00 and 19:00–00:00. If you're arriving outside these hours, just email us with your ETA so we can send you the door code.)

Summary of traveller reviews

Boho Hostel in St. Julians offers a cozy and friendly atmosphere, perfect for travellers seeking a relaxed vibe. Guests praise the helpful staff and clean facilities. While some mention the location is a bit further from the main attractions, it's well-connected by public transport. A common point is the air conditioning being limited during the day, leading to warm rooms.

The door was super annoying and awful to unlock. I liked the quieter atmosphere but there’s not a lot of food or convenience stops nearby which can be a pain. Also lots of hills if you’re planning on walking so middle of summer would be awful. There is a bus stop nearby which was handy.

I stayed for five nights and was not disappointed ! The facilities are spotlessly clean, and the people very friendly. The hostel is also conveniently located next to numerous bus stops (direct buses for the airport and the Gozo "slow" ferry are about 10 minutes away by foot, the buses for Valletta are less than five minutes away). It was an excellent base to explore the islands !

Great experience overall! It's a bit far from the city centre but that's written in the description already :) It's a quieter, relaxed hostel, perfect for people who don't really like to party and want to make friends in the shared dorms. Personally got lucky meeting some really sweet people!
