It appears as though the word is out about the bargain rooms at Hi-Et cause the 25Bz rooms were full the three nights that we stayed. We opted to pay for the private rooms (50Bz) because they seemed like the best option in town (and we looked at a lot of other places). We had the room that is near... More

I paid about $25BZ for a single room with a balcony and shared bathroom. For the price, I thought it was a bargain. My only complaint was that I had a floor fan which was rather loud... if you could get a room with a ceiling fan, you'll be happy. I was rather lucky that Hi Et isn't near any... More

Hi-Et was a great little place to stay. We found the owners friendly and accomdating. They held our luggage while we were out after we checked out. Clean and comfortable space, the shower was warm!! The only downside was that the neighboring house played their TV quite loud until about 11 PM and then again around 6 AM so it... More

This place was one of the best deals and cutest places I got to stay in Belize. My little, clean, cute room had it's own private porch, and the shared bathroom had the best hot shower I took in my entire 2 months in Belize and Guatemala. Great central location, next to an excellent Belizian restaurant and the best tour... More

Due to the owners being super friendly! We had a private room with bathroom for $25US a night. The room was very basic, towels given, no locks. The walls are very thin! Be warned. You can hear everything going on, just like living in somebody's house. It was very noisy outside too, so we didn't sleep well here. There is... More

the room (shared bathroom, plentiful hot water, $25) was tiny, the single bed and fan filled it completely, but it opened onto a cute private balcony overlooking the yard and the weather was too revolting to go looking any further. i was a bit disappointed at not being offered any safer location to lock up my bicycle than a wooden...

The Hi-et is super cheap ($12.50 for a small private room with shared bathroom and small private veranda) and very clean (cleaned daily with change of sheets/towels etc). I like that the room had coat hangers and place to hang stuff b/c everyday I seemed to have wet or incredibly sweaty clothes I needed to dry out! It also has... More

You have to enter the hostel through the living room of the owner, which gives a safe feeling. The owners are very friendly people. The place is cheap, clean and you have your own little balcony. There's WIFI available. But the room and bathroom are really small. There's no guest kitchen available, but some nice restaurants close by. Very much... More

We loved it here. We originally planned on just staying two nights and then trying another place, but we quickly changed out minds. The staff is awesome- especially the little old man who runs the place. They have a beautiful home that you walk through to get to the "hotel" portion, where you can get a room with 2 beds... More
