Guest Reviews

Hewett (6/5): - Ok place, the staff and travellers I met left something more sing in the vibe to many hostels I’ve stayed at the last while!
Jolee (6/5): Mixed Bag. - Funky Dodo is an economical choice for travelers who don’t need much. The property is really lovely. It’s very close to the beach, restaurants, ATM, and grocery stores. There’s a nice courtyard to sit in. We had a private room so I can’t speak to the condition of the shared rooms. We were surprised to learn that there is no air conditioning. They did give us an extra fan. Most nights the temp was ok, but our last night it was too hot to sleep. WiFi connection was spotty. Sometimes there’s hot/warm water, sometimes not. Our biggest complaint is that we bought a bunch of Belizean chocolate bars to bring back as gifts. We put them in the communal fridge to avoid melting, wrapped in a bag with our names on it, and someone stole half of them, and put a partially eaten one back in the bag.
Pierre-Olivier (10/5): - Nice place to stay. Close to the beach. Fun to meet backpackers and share with them.
Wesley (8/5): - Affordable option in Hopkins. Washrooms are shared which is what you pay for and coffee is complimentary, water refills are very cheap so helps reduce plastic which is great and great location.
Cory (10/5): - Great place to atay
alois (10/5): - The bear necessities
Armando (8/5): - Very nice hostel with a nice common area steps away from the beach
Gina (10/5): Hopkins LobsterFest - Roy & Anna are always accommodating, and friendly, and the ambiance of people from all over the world you get to meet while staying there is always an adventure!
Mikael (10/5): We special and cozy hostel - We loved that place! <3 After we arrived we straight bookend third night. Could stay longer! Whole Hopkins area were nice, good restaurants and friendly helpful people there. Very nice people at the hostel too, nice shared areas. Easy to get to Cockscomb in the jungle to maybe see some jaguars. No AC at rooms so that’s something you need to get along without.
Taina (8/5): - Great place and close to many restaurants, shops and travel agencies! Everything is open-air so the mosquitoes are having a feast!
Kenneth (2/5): If Primitive is what yoi seek.... - No A/C in room. Did not stay after seeing room.
Douglas (10/5): - Loved staying at the funky dodo hostel, all the staff were super kind, great location for walking around town, a short stumble to the Carribean. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Alan (8/5): - Friendly, helpful owners.
Susan (10/5): - It's what you would expect of a backpackers hostel. Great location. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would stay there again. Only negative was limited parking, but then again, it was a backpackers place.
George (10/5): - A lovely place run by lovely staff and owners. Close to everything. Highly recommended.😎

Dave (10/5): - Was clean and well worth the price Management was very friendly and had lots of helpful hints on what to do including expats in the area Enjoyed my stay
Verified traveler (10/5): - I loved the vibe here eclectic mix of people and everyone very friendly. Place was well kept I upgraded after 2 nights when I saw the private rooms on top and figured I waNted to spoil myself. Team was very helpful in figuring out the village and what’s worth to do. I would definitely return here happily.
