🌿 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 vibe.

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 sunny 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, 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.)

🧘‍♀️ A Few Grounding Guidelines:
Cancellation: Let us know at least 48 hours before arrival, or we’ll have to charge the full stay. No-shows too.

We might pre-authorize your card before you get here.

Cards accepted only for bookings of 3 nights or more.

We’re a small space – no groups over 4. If you’re booking with 4, we’ll also ask for a deposit.

Staying 10 days or longer? A 30% non-refundable deposit applies.

Please note:
Boho is a relaxed and sociable hostel, ideal for travelers who appreciate a calm atmosphere and good conversation.
To keep that vibe just right, we only accept guests aged 18+

It is like a family. Had the most amazing time there. Always felt like I was part of something Penny and her lovely staff just went out of her way for us. Christmas Eve was a big social get together with awesome food; boxing day BBQ and Beer was a lovely extra This place is exactly what hostels used to be! What they should be Well done to everybody involved with the day to day running of the place! I couldn't recommend this place enough! I had a fantastic time !

What a lovely place, filled with lovely people. I stayed here for 12 nights and met some wonderful people from all around the world and the staff who made the atmosphere possible. A home away from home and if I'm ever back in Malta, there will be no other consideration that enters my mind. Thank you for completing my Malta experience

I have never been to a cleaner safer and quieter hostel and I've been to many then boho. The owner was just a gem, concern for not only everybody there but even the ants. There's not many, and they come and go if you just leave them be. There happened to be a worldwide traveler that was quite the most well traveled, and that I have ever met. His name was Hans and he had a story and knew history because he lived?
