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 ### 8/10 Good #### RICHARD Dec 27, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The premier suite with treehouse deck and view of the hoping street in La Ville. ##### RICHARD Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cory Feb 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great place to atay ##### Cory Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Armando Jan 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice hostel with a nice common area steps away from the beach ##### Armando Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Céline Apr 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Really nice place where everything is just simple! ##### Céline Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Hewett Apr 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service 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! ##### Hewett Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### George Nov 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owner and staff are wonderful. ##### George Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Lacey Dec 1, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fun place Great hosts and a fun atmosphere.

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. ##### Susan ### 10/10 Excellent #### George Nov 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owners are very helpful. 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.

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. ![Beach almost front of the hostel ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/541FD7EBCC7661754EE2B3F05DB4826F816CFDBF1720649236663.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Beach almost front of the hostel ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C0CE990E45B964716CF88A00DC617BB756B295EC1720649237511.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Breakfast homemade ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/D15FC74C3F7E613C9083FAB507AAC656E107A9E01720649235969.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Mikael Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kenneth Jun 17, 2024 Disliked: Room comfort #### If Primitive is what yoi seek.... No A/C in room. Did not stay after seeing room. ##### Kenneth Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Ellie Nov 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort This is a great place to lay your head in Hopkins at an affordable price. Staff are really helpful and knowledgeable. I stayed in a private room with shared shower. The room was adequate and a powerful fan for cooling. There was a dog in the house next door that barked incessantly in front of my window. Obviously not the fault of the hostel, but something to be aware of. I wear heavy duty earplugs when I sleep and the dogs yaps pierced right through them. All in all though, good place to stay with a friendly vibe. ##### Ellie Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Nicola Apr 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service Preis-Leistung etwas zu hoch. Das Personal war sehr unsympatisch. Die Fragen wurden zwar beantwortet, aber waren nur bedingt hilfreich. ##### Nicola Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The West House Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Ignacio-Hotels-The-West-House-Boutique-Hotel.h103362027.Hotel-Information) > > [The Toucan Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Independence-And-Mango-Creek-Hotels-The-Toucan-Inn.h96994358.Hotel-Information) > > [ Bayblue Suite1 ](https://www.expedia.ca/Caye-Caulker-Hotels-Bayblue-Suite-Studio-Apartments.h33394690.Hotel-Information) > > [GM Suites Bed & Breakfast ](https://www.expedia.ca/GM-Suites-Bed-Breakfast.h92179440.Hotel-Information) > > [Kiki Witz](https://www.expedia.ca/Belmopan-Hotels-Kiki-Witz.h29135822.Hotel-Information) > > [Hidden Valley Wilderness Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Mountain-Pine-Ridge-Hotels-Hidden-Valley-Inn-Reserve.h1404046.Hotel-Information) > > [Golden Bay Hotel by Marine Parade](https://www.expedia.ca/Belize-City-Hotels-Golden-Bay-Belize.h46123458.Hotel-Information) > > [Big Falls Extreme Adventures](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Gorda-Hotels-Big-Falls-Extreme-Adventures.h30356091.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Ponta Delgada](https://www.expedia.ca/Ponta-Delgada-Hotels.d2755.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Grand Caribe Belize](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Grand-Caribe-Belize.h5505103.Hotel-Information) > > [The Pink Seahorse Cabana at King Lewey's Island Resort, Placencia Cayes, Belize](https://www.expedia.ca/Placencia-Hotels-The-Peach-Seahorse-Cabana-At-King-Leweys-Island-Resort.h19953058.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Mirador](https://www.expedia.ca/Hopkins-Hotels-Villa-Mirador.h38985821.Hotel-Information) > > [Indigo Belize 2A 3 Bedroom Condo by RedAwning](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Indigo-Belize-2A-3-Br-Condo.h34496919.Hotel-Information) > > [Las Terrazas Resort and Residences Ambergris](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Las-Terrazas-Resort-And-Residences-Ambergris.h1872117.Hotel-Information) > > [Sand and Sky Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Sand-And-Sky-Resort.h109032685.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Hotel-Del-Rio.h17960861.Hotel-Information) > > [ Oceanfront with Incredible Views and Free use of Kayaks- Oceanaire 6](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-NEW-Listing-Incredible-Views-In-Spacious-2-Bed2-Bath-Ocean-Front-Condo.h36881141.Hotel-Information) > > [Bella Vista Resort Belize](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Bella-Vista-Guesthouse-Cabins.h18742782.Hotel-Information) > > [Mayan Princess Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Pedro-Hotels-Mayan-Princess-Hotel.h9794668.Hotel-Information) > > [Shaka Caye](https://www.expedia.ca/Little-Frenchman-Caye-Hotels-Royal-Palm-Island-Resort.h9704659.Hotel-Information) > > [Tanager Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Gorda-Hotels-The-Lodge-At-Big-Falls.h15855931.Hotel-Information) > > [Island Magic Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Caye-Caulker-Hotels-Island-Magic-Beach-Resort-Ltd.h5261305.Hotel-Information) > > [Birds Eye View Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Crooked-Tree-Hotels-Birds-Eye-View-Lodge.h38393282.Hotel-Information) > > [The Palms 2 Bedroom Suite at Jaguar Creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Belmopan-Hotels-Family-Adventure-In-The-Rainforest.h31541959.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Packages ### Vacation Rentals ### General
