It's what you would expect of a backpackers hostel. 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.

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. No AC at rooms so that’s something you need to get along without.

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 .

Wir waren 2 Nächte im Funky Dodo, um von Hopkins aus die Umgebung zu erkunden. 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.
