The Funky Dodo Backpackers Hostel

This was my first time staying in a hostel, and Funky Dodo was a great introduction! The private room was cozy, spacious, and very clean. The bathroom had hot water and was also clean, though the upper part was open, which made me feel a little unsafe but my partner stayed nearby, which helped. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and overall I had a really enjoyable experience. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends.

A very relaxed hostel. Well equipped kitchen. Hammock area. Staff are very helpful with things to do and see. If you rely on wifi, do not stay here. It was out for 2/3 days. Owner has a cheap wifi provider. I walked up the road a km to Ella's Restaurant to use their wifi which was great.

We were staying in private room. Though the property is a bit worn out, it is well balanced by its genius loci, coziness, and a lot of greenery. Owners were super friendly and helpful with their recommendations of trails in Cockscomb basin as well as local restaurants. There is parking for cca 2 cars right upfront the hostel, which looks sufficient.

This is a budget friendly backpacker hostel that goes above and beyond! The atmosphere and rooms are great. I didn’t stay in the dorms but they seemed well kept just like the private room we stayed in. The owners/management were kind and helpful with whatever you need. The location outs you in the heart of Hopkins for easy excursions during the day. I’d come back and stay again!

Anna and Roy, the owners, know the meaning of hospitality! The rooms are comfortable and clean with ceiling fans and standing fans, and I found both rooms I stayed in to be pleasantly cool, day and night, and I slept wonderfully. There is a shared kitchen with a big fridge, microwave, two-burner stove, and plenty of pots and pans and dishes and silverware, if you want to cook, though there are lots of restaurants around if you do not, and they offer free freshly brewed coffee in the morning.The shared bathroom is clean and big with plenty of toilets and showers, and I never had to wait and rarely encountered others in there. The grounds are lovely, with tropical flora and fauna and everything is so well-maintained. You couldn't ask for a better location in Hopkins, as it is right by the beach, restaurants, bars, and grocery stores, and within walking distance of everything you could possible need or want. The wifi was good, too, so I was able to work without issue. Thanks so much to Anna and Roy, the best hosts ever...

Mr Roy and ChatGPT got me there and miss Anna held my hand through my first hostel stay, my first trip outside us and into my new place in Belize. Except for missing my kourig it was all that Belize has to offer. Mykale Nov/Dec 2025.

Didn’t like this hostel that much. It’s alright and cheap. But there are some downsides. There were some old American men living in the hostel, smoking cigars all day which smelled bad. The rooms very very noisy and not very clean, same with the bathroom and kitchen.

Lovely hostel for Hopkins! Our stay was comfortable and we were able to relax and unwind. The beds are comfy and washrooms are decently clean. There is a nice garden terrace and guest kitchen to cook your meals. Location is great, just off the Main Street and close the beach, shops and restaurants
