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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### alois 3 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The bear necessities ##### alois Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gina 22 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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! ##### Gina Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mikael 12 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### We loved that place!

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 ### 8/10 Good #### Taina 21 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great place and close to many restaurants, shops and travel agencies!

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 12 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The owner and staff are wonderful. ##### George Stayed 1 night in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gina 1 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### HIGHLY RECOMMEND Roy & Anna are AMAZING-it is family when you stay here.

Wir hatten einen netten Aufenthalt. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber und geräumig, der Aufenthaltsbereich war schön eingerichtet mit vielen Informationen zu Unternehmungen und vom Hostel aus war Hopkins gut zu Fuß zu erkunden, da es zentral gelegen war und auch Einkaufsmöglichkeiten nicht weit entfernt waren. Mit Abstand das beste Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis auf unserer Belize-Reise. ##### Julian Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Du Vin Exeter](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Vin-Exeter.h1675497.Hotel-Information) > > [Moose Hotel And Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Moose-Hotel-And-Suites.h14703440.Hotel-Information) > > [Norfolk Inn Paddington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-So-Paddington-Hotel.h5316412.Hotel-Information) > > [Tropical Paradise Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Caye-Caulker-Hotels-Tropical-Paradise-Hotel.h7983368.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Hebden Bridge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hebden-Bridge-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d10470-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Ohtels Cabogata](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Almeria-Hotels-Ohtels-Cabogata.h12591822.Hotel-Information) > > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Cheltenham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d4597-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Eindhoven](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eindhoven-Hotels.d1115.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Mykonos View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mykonos-Hotels-Mykonos-View.h1981494.Hotel-Information) > > [Gay-Friendly Hotels in Gran Canaria](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gran-Canaria-Hotels-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d6047134-tGayFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [OBLU SELECT Lobigili with Free Transfers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/OBLU-SELECT-Lobigili.h72915067.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Palazzo Keller](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Venice-Hotels-Hotel-Palazzo-Keller.h90865325.Hotel-Information) > > [BestWestern Hotels in Wokingham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wokingham-Hotels-Best-Western.0-0-d5483--bBestWestern.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Laleli Gonen Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Laleli-Gonen-Hotel.h4856347.Hotel-Information) > > [Culloden Estate & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Holywood-Hotels-Culloden-Estate-Spa.h17397.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Old Trafford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Old-Trafford-Hotels.0-l501661-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Taj Swarna](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amritsar-Hotels-Taj-Swarna.h15935907.Hotel-Information) > > [INNSiDE by Meliá Palma Bosque](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palma-De-Mallorca-Hotels-INNSiDE-By-Melia-Palma-Bosque.h72970.Hotel-Information) > > [Krabi La Playa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Krabi-Hotels-Krabi-La-Playa-Resort.h3546782.Hotel-Information) > > [Shirebrook House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mansfield-Hotels-Shirebrook-House.h38535068.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Jet2 Faro (FAO) to Birmingham (BHX) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/jet2-from-faro-intl-to-birmingham/ls/fao/bhx) ### Cars > [Hertz Car Rentals In London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hertz-Car-Rentals-In-London.d178279-c40.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Thrifty Car Rental Car Rentals In Rome](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Thrifty-Car-Rental-Car-Rentals-In-Rome.d179899-c45.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) > > [Rent A Wreck Car Rentals In Portsmouth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rent-A-Wreck-Car-Rentals-In-Portsmouth.d553248634335196573-c33.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Monaco](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Monaco.d6050648.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Exeter's Historic Quayside](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeters-Historic-Quayside-Exeter.d6171371.Attraction) > > [Looe Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Looe.d4386.Holidays-City-Breaks)
