It is steps to the beach and Hopkins Pier. There are a few restaurants in the area as well as an ATM, super market, and pharmacy. The cooking area is well equipped and its a friendly place with a communal atmosphere . ##### George Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### George Nov 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A lovely place run by lovely staff and owners.

Highly recommended.😎 ##### George Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mikael Jul 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We loved that place! After we arrived we straight bookend third night. Could stay longer! Whole Hopkins area were nice, good restaurants and friendly helpful people there. It’s safety to hitchhike there. Very nice people at the hostel too, nice shared areas. Easy to get to Cockscomb in the jungle to maybe see some jaguars.

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. ##### Jolee Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicola Apr 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service Preis-Leistung etwas zu hoch.
