Boho Beach Hostel - 77710 Playa del Carmen

Boho Beach Hostel is in a great location, right off of the bustling 5th Avenue and 3 steps away from the beach. Sean and Miguel are so nice and make sure the place has good vibes at all times. The dogs are a fun addition as well.

A consistent breeze keeps the heat and mosquitoes away! After staying at 5 other hostels in Playa, this one finally solves the heat and insect problems due to its location right on the beach. As others have noted, it's chill and social, with good beds & baths, AC in the rooms and a very good breakfast for 60 MXN. Although the area next to the kitchen could be a great co-work space if they added a table and chairs.

I stay here kinda long term each winter. This is my 3rd winter staying here. Best location of all the hostels in Playa with it having a terrace overlooking the beautiful colors of the ocean. You can hear the waves crashing at night. Senior Frog's below the Hostel has music supplying background music most of the day into the night. Senior Frog's usually is quiet before 10pm. Hostel rooms are great for the price. Pricing conversion rates from dollars to Mexican Pesos are a little off what the going exchange rate is. Shawn and Miguel are friendly and helpful.

Superb service nice guys! Right on the beach great ac these people really know playa del Carmen well!

We are traveling Mexico for a couple of months, and Boho Hostel has been our favorite so far... so much in fact, that we keep saying we miss the Boho. For starters the location is amazing. The rooftop terrace overlooks the beach in both directions, making it a 2 minute walk to the ocean. We spent a few extra dollars and got a private room with a bathroom, the beds were comfortable and the AC was cold. Shawn was the owner and made us feel welcome right away. He gave us all sorts of advice about the best places to eat and shop and was happy to answer any questions we had about the area. Miguel also lived/worked there and for an extra fee made us breakfast every morning which was cheap and delicious. We also drank beers and had a potluck with them and some other guests one night on the terrace and it was very fun. They also serve coffee on the terrace every morning. Carmen's tortas is right downstairs and has an incredible breakfast/lunch menu as well. Also Shawn has 3 of the sweetest dogs at the property whom were so friendly and made it feel more like home. The place has a community kitchen and fridge for you to place some beers and cook a meal or two if you like. If you are looking for a 5 star resort, this isn't the place for you. If you are looking for a very affordable, friendly place with comfy beds and hot showers, then this is definitely your spot. I would absolutely stay here again.

More than the location , which is amazing! ,Very friendly staff , informative and inviting. Clean sheets and comfortable mattress, sounds simple but so important. Clean bathroom with good amount of hot water, again important. Great cross section of people from all over the world. Had some great conversations. Come for the location , stay for the good vibes. Have stayed several times , never disappointed.

The good: great location right next to the beach and a 2 minute walk from the west end of fifth avenue; checking-in was easy; our (private double) room was clean; free drinking water; staff are nice and helpful, if a little difficult to pin down. The bad: the pictures are a bit misleading; our room had an air con unit in but it didn’t actually produce any cold air. With a bit of attention and reconfiguration the hostel could progress from being a collection of rooms with a balcony, to a more communal and atmospheric space, which would go a long way to making it feel more like a hostel. Overall Boho is relatively cheap and can therefore be placed in the good value camp. The hostel has potential but is still a work in progress at the time of writing.

Location is great, and also easy to find as the owner sends a very clear email before hands. The venue is nice and clean, with a stunning view of the sea. The owner is kind and helpful at all times. We stayed in a comfy private room, towels were included. The only little issue is that the en-suit was quite smelly, and the smell was covered up with too much bleach which was a bit disturbing to breath. Regardless, I highly recommend this place.
