It was hard to get ahold of staff with some questions. It was also a bit noisy but bring earplugs and you’ll be fine!

The hostel is very cute with the big tree in the lobby giving a sort of tree house vibe. We had private room, and it was spacious and with a/c! The location was great. There is a kitchen with everything you need. And Linda (a staff member) was such a nice person!

Having to pay $1 BZ every time I filled up my water bottle. In most hostels they provide drinking water free of charge.

Good hostel in the centre of San Ignacio. Has nice social areas and a fully equipped kitchen. The dorm rooms were clean and spacious.

The bed was not so comfterable, and the bathroom wasn't so clean. But besides that everything was good!

Bella's is a great hostel to meet fellow traveler's and enjoy a beer with new friends. The upstairs kitchen, bar and diffrent hang out spots is a very nice place to relax or hang out with others. The dorm was nice although the bed was not so good.

The mattress was very saggy

Cute little hostel right in the center. Short walk to supermarket and restaurants. Friendly staff and well equipped kitchen. Sweet cats :)

Maybe sometimes the WiFi is a bit slow.

It's like a big tree house. There are small, cute seating areas in a lot of corners. The kitchen was well equipped, it even had a lot of herbs free to use. There is a small bar as well to buy a beer at night. Sometimes they organize some activities. And they can also recommend a lot of stuff.

Beds were a thing foam mattress so lying on it for a moment created an indent, this made sleeping a bit uncomfortable but not a deal breaker.

Bella’s is in an excellent location and is ideal base for exploring San Ignacio and the surrounding region. The hostel is well laid out with clean bathrooms and plenty of space. Staff were friendly, their focus was on creating a party atmosphere and getting everyone to socialise, so if you were looking to go out or make friends its a great spot, but if you’re looking for something low-key there was no pressure to drink which was appreciated.

The bunk bed we stayed on was rickety and not a proper ladder to get up. Only one shower we found had hot water and only if you put it on a trickle.

Staff were really friendly and made everyone feels welcome. Activities organised every day so could meet people. Some hot water in one of the showers. Dorms are spaced out well. The hostel itself is lovely with a decent kitchen and lots of places to hang out. Perfect location in town, walking distance from chicken bus.

Kitchen a little messy

Great location, in the middle of everything. Staff was super helpful shoutout to Body and Connie, they helped me book the ATM tour, rent a car, bus schedule. Good wifi, clean room, cool rooftop bar

The birds woke me up way too early, but at the same time, it was a nice experience. Just make sure you stay at a hotel after so you can get a good night's rest. There were no blankets, and it was cold during my stay, but I asked for a blanket for the second night and was provided one :)

Backpacking hostel, a way to save some money. A great way to meet people who can show you around. They had free rum punch from 6 - 9 pm at the bar and the chance to socialize and even share a blunt (if you're into that) The location was central, walking distance to a lot of food and tours. Exotic and underdeveloped. Birds woke me up every morning ( I will also include this in what I didn't like, lol)

the staff were exceptional - very friendly and helpful. and their suggested ATM cave tour guide was brilliant (we had the caves to ourselves by going early!)

Extremely uncomfortable mattress, although I think that I was just unlucky!

Walls are super thin. We partied a bit so didn't bother us too much, but if we weren't it'd be tough getting a goodnight sleep

Fun atmosphere, fans in rooms, cheap transfers to belize city

Stayed in December 2023

The bathrooms kind of suck with hot oops barely warm water in only one. Big dorm should be split in half for airflow and other problems.

The guests staying here were the best! Great energy and going on adventures like the ATM Caves… too much fun!

A friend of mine told me she had to move to another hotel after discovering someone touched their bags in the night.

Staff was very friendly

The hostel owner's son runs the hostel. He is a very sweet kind boy but smokes way too much weed and sometimes he has no idea what's going on. We tried to book a bus for the following day through the hostel to get from Belize to Guatemala. He was super high and said that we had paid for the bus but we had no tickets and definitely had not paid. We had to wait for his girlfriend to get back to arrange the bus so that was a little bit stressful. He is a very kind boy though and when he wasn't baked he always helped out and mingle with the guests.

It feels like a three story tree house right in the centre of town. There are several different chill out zones, some more open and some tucked away, so if you want to be social or if you want to hide away by yourself you can. Our private room had a balcony which was nice. They organised something every night which was a nice way to be social and meet other backpackers. Whilst we were there we did a 5 way split on hiring a car to drive around and explore all the ruins. Very economical way to see everything.

Mattress dipped in the middle towards the end of stay, could do with more fans, but wasn't an unpleasant sleep.

Great location. Lots of space to chill. Rooms where fine with lockers for personal items.

Could be a little cleaner and to change the temperature on the shower you have to be quiet tall. I could not reach it and had to take an ice cold shower.

The location was awesome and the staff was very kind and helpful.

You need to walk into the dorm room to get into the private room, the shared bathroom is in the dorm room.

Friendly staff, good vibe, nice location and common areas

Great location on the edge of Downtown. I was only there one evening so can’t comment too much. They provided a bbq day out for guests so the hostel was super quiet and I had the place to myself. Private room was simple yet neat and tidy, shower was good.

It was all good

Great place to stay as right in town. Easy place to hire canoed...Tony just by the wooden bridge 35 Belizean for a day in a doe canoe. Easy to get to the Mayan ruins on the local bus...cheapest and best option so you can spend quality time in the ruins. Good atmosphere on the hostal and lots of places to socialize and hammocks to enjoy.

Stayed in March 2023

One toilet wasn’t working for the first day so was a bit inconvenient as there was only one other in on the ground floor. Luckily it was fixed fairly swiftly. Fans we’re pretty noisy in the room but did keep the room cool enough to sleep. Not really big cons though I would happily stay again!

Loads of great areas to chill with hammocks. The staff were really helpful. Laundry service was a good price and quick, also smelt super clean and fresh. Amazing location, close to all restaurants. Perfect place to chill for a few days.

the private room has no private shower or restroom which was a little uncomfortable but it was fine
