One time more I stayed in Boho Club Marbella and I got surprised with a new restaurant. Top place in the golden Mile of Marbella. Very close to Banus and the beach but with the amazing pool that they have everyone will spend the day there. Very nice staff.

ROBBED !! So many of our possessions stolen from our room after only staying one night !!my husbands wedding ring Luxury handbags , shoes dresses even aftershave and T shirts all brand names of course they knew what they wanted … the next day we spent playing golf on return this is what we had to face . We called the police but haven’t got a conclusion as yet .. The manager promised a full refund . we checked out .. we really couldn’t risk buying anything to replace our shoes handbags Ect and risk them being stolen again but after several attempts of asking and 2 weeks later we have nothing no refund after telling us it had been done I asked if they had cameras he told Me yes and only 2 people entered into your room being the cleaner and mini bar attendant and none of them came out with any bags !!! Well I’m sorry but someone took them I was absolutely fuming Don’t stay if you want to keep your valuables safe .. my husband and I and our children have stayed in many 5 star hotels in Marbella over the past 24 years and never have we had any of our possessions stolen from our rooms Disgraceful

I do not recommend you stay at this hotel under any circumstances My husband and I checked in on the 30th June 2025 The first day was perfect we enjoyed a beautiful breakfast the following day and then went off to play golf for the day When we arrived back late afternoon on arrival to our room we soon realised so many of our possessions had been stolen including my husbands wedding ring !! Chanel / Louis Vuitton handbags , shoes sunglasses even some of my dresses and my husbands shirts and t shirts which were all luxury brands My Dyson air wrap and even aftershave and a toiletry bag Unbelievable I was devastated to say the least, so many precious possessions built up over years and money lost We went straight to reception and asked for the police to come ASAP The manager said he would check the cameras and he could detect with the keys who had been in and out He proceeded to tell us at a later date the only people that went into our room was the maid / cleaner and the mini bar guy and NONE of them came out with any bags !! I was so angry at that comment as we then felt as though he was accusing us of robbing ourselves Well I’m sorry we did not steal our own things We obviously checked out after the police had done their job as we did not feel safe and couldn’t possibly buy anymore handbags or shoes which we clearly needed as I then only had flip flops for the week and my husband needed some too as they basically stole all of our possessions We were absolutely not staying there with risk of this happening again The manager promised a full refund but after several attempts we have had nothing We have stayed in most of the 5 star hotels in Marbella and have never had a problem over the last 24 years Honestly it’s an absolute disgrace so if you want to keep your luxury items safe don’t stay there and if you do, don’t expect any help from the hotel staff/ management of the hotel. A very distressing stay.

We stayed at Boho for four nights as a couple and had a generally positive experience, with a few areas for improvement. Service & Staff * Staff service was generally very good. Marco, in particular, stood out for his exceptional service. * The complimentary yoga classes were a lovely addition. As someone with years of experience in yoga (but not at an advanced level), I appreciated how the sessions were adaptable for all levels. Lowra (apologies if I’ve misspelled the name) was an excellent instructor. *Miranda at the spa was also great and I enjoyed my massage. Food & Dining * Breakfast was of good quality, with a nice selection of healthy options. However, both the à la carte and buffet offerings felt somewhat limited. Adding more variety would enhance the experience for those staying for a few nights. * We dined outside the hotel for dinner, but had lunch at the hotel restaurant/pool area, which was consistently of a high standard. * Offering more flexibility to adapt menu items for vegetarians would be appreciated. * It was surprising that complimentary water wasn’t available by the pool. We've experienced this previously and is something that Boho could consider. Rooms & Comfort * Rooms were functional and the bed was very comfortable. * However, we stayed in a garden room, which we wouldn’t recommend in hindsight. These rooms are clustered around a smaller pool that felt a little uninspiring and lacked privacy. The heavy curtains meant we had to choose between privacy and natural light, which was disappointing in sunny Marbella. * A bungalow might offer a more enjoyable experience if your budget allows. * There were a lot of ants in our room, likely due to a wide gap under the entrance door. -Atmosphere & Facilities * The hotel had a peaceful, quiet atmosphere, which we appreciated — it never felt crowded. * Relaxing at the main pool was generally pleasant, though at times it was disrupted by noise from nearby construction work (Bernies). Given the premium pricing, such work should be scheduled for off-peak periods, and the hotel should ensure their only pool bar is operational during high season. * The hotel has a single main pool shared between adults and children. At times, the noise from kids disrupted the peaceful setting. It might be worth considering designated adult-only hours, a separate kids’ pool, or even transitioning to an adults-only policy to align better with the hotel's overall branding. Location & Accessibility * The hotel’s location is not very walkable. We attempted to walk to Puerto Banús one evening but had to reroute due to the lack of a footpath on the Google Maps-recommended route. A complimentary hotel shuttle would be a helpful addition. * As noted by other reviewers, parts of the hotel are affected by noise from the main road. It’s not overwhelming, but it can detract from the otherwise tranquil vibe.

Just returned from five nights at Boho Club. It’s hard to understand how this hotel is categorized as a five-star property. Here’s why: 1) The hotel is located next to a four-lane road with heavy traffic, resulting in constant noise throughout the outdoor areas. 2) Poolside service is sloppy (but the people working here is super kind and lovely). The same person managing the pool bar, also has to fetch food and drinks from the restaurant, meaning they’re often gone for short periods. One day, when there were about 15 guests sunbathing by the pool, no staff appeared to offer water or take lunch orders until 12:30 PM. And dont expect help with adjusting sunbeds or lowering parasols either. 3) There seems to be no system in place to keep the hotel grounds consistently tidy and clean. The same used snuff-pouches and paper litter that were lying in the grass and bushes on our first day, were still there the day we left. A friend’s daughter stepped on broken glass on one of the hotel’s walkways, and cut her foot – glass that had likely been there since the day before. Before we arrived, we received a WhatsApp message from the hotel, ending with: “You can reach the front desk by responding to this message at any time.” I replied, but never received a response. That said,- there are two reasons you might still consider staying here. The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming – absolutely lovely people(!), from the cleaners to the restaurant and reception employees. And secondly, the rooms are spacious and of a high standard. Turn down service is a pluss. If Boho Club were categorized as a four-star hotel – which I believe it should be – I would have gladly given it four stars. But as a five-star hotel with corresponding high prices, I can only give it three stars. If the hotel were to maintain spotless outdoor areas and improve poolside service, that would make a big difference for us. However, little can be done about its location next to a four-lane road.
