88%Bokun Guesthouse

It's a guesthouse. Have to take a bus to the center, they sleep very early and only the son really speak english, but its fine for a night. I would recommend.

After wandering around the bus station area, and then walking down a dark lane, we were not prepared for the magical world behind the heavy metal gate. A paradise of flowers, fruit trees, arbours and attractive outside seating areas. Very peaceful - hard to imagine, just off a noisy street in a busy town. The owner was very friendly, humourous and helpful.close

Was a very friendly place with a lovely garden. Not that close to the old town, but a pleasant walk there anyway. Pretty close to bus station so good in that sense. We were given figs, coffee and cake, and made to feel very welcome!

The guesthouse was very nice, a little bit far from the center, but it took 2 minutes on the bus which was very convenient. The house itself is situated in a garden and you can have breakfast under the kiwi vines full of fruit!

Fantastic place to stay, very homely. Great welcome from hosts and great wine! Garden terrace is lovely so sit out on. Toni will collect you when you arrive and either bus to old town or easy 20 min walk.

Great place to chill and relax. Extensive garden that makes the place feel you're miles from anywhere. Was lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite. Everything was very clean and having a kitchen was very handy. 5 minutes walk from Tommy's supermarket and the bus stop to take you into town. All in...

The location is good, as you are near the ferries and busses...so less distance to cart luggage around....but not super close to the old town. The place is awesome though! If you need a day off, sitting on their patio surrounded by fruit is just so peaceful.

Great guest house! Really clean and lovely gardens surrounding the house. It is a bit of a walk to the old town (40 minutes) but you could use the buses that come straight past. But overall I enjoyed staying at this hostel.

Both times the rooms were excellent & Toni Bokun was very accommodating & helpful. We were able to store our bags & Toni drove us to the airport. Toni provided additional little touches that made us feel at home, such as greeting us with a welcome cup of coffee. We were 2 couples in our 60's travelling together. We would definitely recommend the Bokun Guesthouse to others.close

The owner Toni was great, very friendly, good english and plenty of advice on things to see and do. I highly recommend taking him up on the option of the traditional croatian dinner, his homemade wine and spirits are great as well. Oh and AC in the room was a big bonus!

It's a 25 min walk to old town but this isn't really an issue as there are so many buses available. We walked in once and it's a beautiful walk ... It is very close to the main bus and ferry terminals if you're planning on seeing more of Croatia ..

A beautiful guesthouse with extremely friendly staff. Located slightly away from the old town (5 mins on the bus or 20 mins walk) making Lapad beach very accessible. It was really pleasant to see a less touristy side to Dubrovnik.
