"I am glad I was able to end my vacation at the gecko bungalow. Michelle made sure that everything was taken care of with the multiple shuttles to and from the airport. The bungalow was an oasis and I was very glad to get to experience it with my first trip to Belize. Michelle and Scott made it feel like another home away from home. Definitely looking forward to coming back! 😀"

"Our flight was canceled due to weather and we had to extend our stay in Belize. The staff at Black Orchid made this extra day of what could’ve been a huge frustration the best part of our time in Belize! Mariano, Ashanti, and Edmond were the most amazing hosts! Can’t say enough about how wonderful the staff here is. There were probably 10 of us that showed up last minute due to mass flight cancellations and the Black Orchid team lept into action to make this an amazing experience! Thanks to the owners who treat their staff so well and for Mariano, Ashanti, Edmond, front desk and chef that took such great care of us. The stay here and the river cruise we took from the resort was the most memorable experience we had in Belize. 10 stars!!!"

"I like that everything was laid back. We had our privacy. Massages were amazing. The food was good. Tours were offered by the resort, which was convenient! Transportation vehicles were Teslas and everyone had great attitudes and were super friendly. The resort itself was an hour away from the main city, but I didn't mind. The resort folks took care of us. It was a true vacation. Overall very excellent. 👏"

"James is an excellent host. "

"My young adult son, myself and our little dog loved our stay here: To relax and dream, hammock rocked on the wraparound deck to soothing jungle sounds and meditate on the amazing wildlife while overlooking the Belize River was a heavenly respite, a true gem, cozy and quaint, in the jungle. A bevy of fans keep you cool. As Shanna and Kenny were under the weather, a driver named Ernesto picked us up at the airport, took us out for a delicious roadside lunch, grocery shopping and then to the Howler House. Shanna is excellent at communicating and arranging tours and a flight via Tropic Air to Placencia, our next stop. Ernesto drove us to our tours: We loved the Baboon Sanctuary and the cave tubing we ventured on was exciting and relaxing. Ernesto is friendly, helpful, professional and informative. The highlight of the Howler House is how secluded it is in the jungle. However, 3 other homes are being built on the property. The homes are spaced far enough apart to keep some privacy, but the seclusion will be lost. The other special feature of the Howler House: an incredible canoe ride. No crowd of homes alongside the River. Just wild jungle. We were greeted by a luminous green flying object come dusk on the deck: a glowing click beetle. So enchanting. We had never seen one before. And as we awoke to leave on our too short 2 night stay, 4 Howler Monkeys came onto the deck! One ate from our hands. Note: they love bananas not grapes.This was the best goodbye gift!"

"Gecko Bungalows blew us away! The property was a tropical paradise! Our room was extremely clean, and full of funky details that felt truly one of a kind. Scott and Michelle were very communicative and gave us lots of suggestions to maximize our experience in Ladyville. We will definitely be back!"

"Had A/C"

"My wife and I found James and Audrey’s place very reasonably priced and quite comfortable. It was spotless with very nice amenities. Quick and easy access to the airport and very peaceful. James is an excellent host and we would definitely do this again!"

"We had the best time here. The hosts, Shanna and Kenny were great, super responsive and very helpful with planning things to do. Ernesto, one of the drivers was also fantastic and super helpful. The locals and neighbors around the house were very friendly. A grocery store was located near by and we were able to get most of what we needed to make our meals. Dee has a small bar next door and a small shop where you can get some basics. Dee was so friendly. A Howler Monkey troop came right onto the property one of the days and they were fun to watch. Another Howler Monkey troop spends most of its time across the street at Lloyd’s. Lloyd was happy to allow us on his property to check them out. The accommodations were great. There was a washer and dryer on site that worked well. We did not want to leave and we will definitely be back!"
