What is "this" hose? link? 
Is it a little cloudy, soft and flexible (You should be able to almost tie a knot in it without it bending)?
If so it's likely silicone and 100% safe at boiling temps, even up to 150-200 degrees.
Is it clear, smooth and folds if you bend it?
If so, it's likely PVC and not safe at boiling temps, it will begin to break down at about 70 degrees.
