Bokun Guesthouse

Bokun guesthouse is an idyllic retreat just 50m from Gruz harbour in Dubrovnik. It's a family run enterprise headed up by Toni, who offers a great welcome and for whom nothing is any trouble. The accommodation is a 500 year old building offering spotlessly clean and comfortable rooms. We elected for the bed and breakfast option, the latter being a superb selection of breakfast goodies. In addition to Toni, his son occupies a spot around the lovely pool, offering cocktails for a few hours a day. The guesthouse nestles in a beautiful garden with flowers, kiwi fruit, grapes, and a host if other fruits growing. On arrival Toni sits with each guest and annotates a map, including bus numbers, to help navigate the local area. The harbour area is very busy but still very clean, tidy and offering some good eateries. A walk of 30 or so minutes takes you to Lapad, which has a wonderful pedestrianised area with many and varied dining opportunities. All of the Bokun family are friendly and helpful and we could not leave a review without a mention for the housekeeper Magdelena who offers a wonderful smile and can't do enough to help make the holiday a real treat. Dubrovnik old town is within walking distance, but there are plenty of good buses running back and forth. If you are aiming to visit the many attractions it's worth considering the Dubrovnik pass which a €40 per person gets you entry to most areas and includes your bus fare. There are plenty of supermarkets close by along with great bakeries and a fruit and veg market daily where we bought bread, cheese and fruit to have an evening meal in the grounds of the guesthouse. It's worth noting too that Toni makes his own red and white wines and I found the red to be very nice indeed, I didn't try the white but I suspect it's equally good. Overall, Toni and his team made our first visit to Croatia a very memorable one, thankyou Toni.

Absolutely brilliant family run guesthouse in a fantastic location hidden away from the main road you wouldn’t know it was there It has a lovely secret garden Toni who runs the guesthouse was so friendly and helpful made you feel at home as did all the family it’s a most stay place one hundred 💯 Just 35 minutes walk into the old town or 5 minutes walk to the bus stop to the old town

Quite simply, this was one of the most idyllic, beautiful and relaxing holiday's we have had in years. We were greeted on arrival by Toni the owner of the Bokun guesthouse. The welcome was wonderful, as Toni talked us through places to visit, eat etc over a chilled beer. This laid back, warm, witty and friendly approach put us at ease and set us up perfectly for the most stunning holiday to come!! The guest house was clean, fully air conditioned and modern. Toni's family and house keeper have you space but we're always there if needed. The buffet breakfast was delicious, I have never felt so relaxed drinking my morning coffee in the shady alcove. Dubrovnik is a beautiful place to visit, the old town very Cosmopolitan and a joy to visit! Weather was warm without being overbearing and the atmosphere the most chilled I have felt in any holiday. I don't have anything bad to say, I loved Croatia, I loved the Bokun guesthouse, I loved the people, the food, the homemade cocktails by the pool. Thank you Toni, thanks guys, it was truly the most idyllic stay
