About
Bokun Guesthouse
Bokun Guesthouse occupies a building from 1800 in Gruz, Dubrovnik's working harbour district. It sits a 5-minute walk from Atlant Centar, where you'll find the ferry port and marina, and is about 20-25 minutes on foot from the Old Town. The guesthouse has been welcoming guests for decades, and its leafy garden, covered terrace, and seasonal outdoor pool make it a quiet counterpoint to the crowds of the old city.
Guests consistently mention the warm hospitality of the owners, the spotless rooms, and the peaceful garden. The property keeps a homely feel, with rooms that have air conditioning, private bathrooms, and simple furnishings, and there are also larger apartments with kitchenettes for families or longer stays.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dining options are limited — Breakfast is praised for fresh fruit and cheese, but there's no full restaurant on site; the property has a vending machine and picnic area rather than a formal dining service.
- No pets allowed — The guesthouse does not accept pets, which may rule it out for those travelling with animals.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 12:00 to 22:00, so late arrivals need to plan accordingly.
- Not in the heart of Old Town — The guesthouse is in Gruz, a 20-25 minute walk from the Old Town; guests who want to be inside the city walls will need to take a bus or walk.

8.6Verified guest“The owner was incredibly warm and eager to help, offering plenty of advice on the area and pointing us to some great local eateries. He even poured us a taste of his homemade wine. The location is handy for the port and bus terminal if you're island-hopping or heading further along the coast. Old Town is a 20-25 minute walk, or you can hop on a local bus to Pile Gate.”
8.6Verified guest“The fresh fruit and cheese at breakfast were excellent. The location couldn't be better, right next to a good restaurant, and it ticked all our boxes.”
8.6Verified guest“The gardens were a quiet retreat, and starting the day with a swim in the pool felt luxurious. I loved having breakfast under the grapevines, with fresh herbs and produce from the garden brightening up every meal.”
8.6Verified guest“A lovely hidden garden awaits behind an unassuming iron door at the end of a narrow lane – the exterior looks a bit nondescript, but inside it's beautiful and immaculately kept. Perfect if you want to escape the chaos of the Old Town.”
8.6Verified guest“The garden was nice.”
