Good value for money. I had a very pleasant stay, my room was quiet, clean and I loved the decoration. There is a communal kitchen, which I wasn't expecting and was definitely a plus. Chanine, the host, was kind and made herself available. Very close to the nicest beaches, maybe 10 minute walk. I would recommend. Hope to come back in the future.
I just wanted to say a big thank you for such a lovely stay at your beach house. The place was absolutely beautiful—stylish, comfortable, and so thoughtfully decorated. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect, and we really appreciated the little details that made the space so welcoming. It was the ideal spot for a relaxing week, and we’re already missing the peaceful mornings and sea breeze. Thank you again for being such a great host. We’d love to come back again sometime!
The house is gorgeous with so many beautiful things dotted around, making it very homely and quirky. Lovely warm house and very quiet. Only downside was there was no hot water in the shower. Luckily, Channine had a spare room who's water was perfect so we were able to utilise the shower which was bliss. Bed was too soft for me (I prefer a harder mattress, that's my personal choice) both myself and my son slept very well.
The Boho is just amazing. Chanine the owner made us very welcome and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. The overall appearance of the hotel is great and we simply felt like part of the family. Would thoroughly recommend staying here to anyone. The prices are very reasonable indeed and the facilities are just great. Puts other local hotels in the shade... Had the best nights sleep ever. Go Boho!!
We had such a brilliant weekend at the Boho Beach House! We hired the whole house for a friends hen do and Chanine was wonderfully helpful and welcoming. The kitchen is a great place for everyone to get together, it has every thing you need and loads of space to eat and drink. The house is very well located right in the centre of town close to the coast and plenty of shops and bars. All rooms are well appointed and very comfortable, everyone was happy!
We had a superb stay in the ground floor with a lovely terrace. The room is very comfortable and Chanine was extremely helpful and gave us an extra bed and got us a fan especially! Great kitchen facilities if you want to cook, the car park is a 3 minute walk, and the beach is only 6 minutes walk. Very nicely decorated, quirky and comfortable. Thank you from us all
Home away from home. Only stayed for one night but will highly recommend this accommodation. Perfect for large families or groups. Will definitely be back and for a longer stay. Give the Boho a bash next time your in Bournemouth!!
It was perfect and really homely. The owner was very friendly, kind and welcoming. Location was just a little stroll to the Bournemouth square which was perfect. I loved the option of making my own meals as well. I didn't like the fact that I have to ask them before my room was cleaned or given fresh linens.
