“Absolutely fantastic stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

Back-a-bush is a peaceful farm in a small Belizian village close to Punta Gorda by bus. Elsbeth and Naud are charming, friendly and down-to-earth hosts.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 30, 2012

Why they don't have more reviews, I'll never know! Back-a-Bush is the BEST and also least expensive ($30BZE/$15USD a night for a bed) and the meals are INCREDIBLE and again, very inexpensive!!! (breakfast/dinner $12BZE/$6USD; lunch $10BZE/$5USD) I hope the prices are correct, check their website just in case. I was in Toledo for 2 weeks, I stayed with Elsbeth and... More

“The best place I stayed in 4 weeks of travel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2012

I'm not sure where to start! Everything about this place was fantastic. I happened to be the only person staying for 2 out of the 3 nights and the owners Elsbeth and Naud made me feel like I was an old friend come to visit rather than a fee paying backpacker and kept me well entertained the whole time. Elsbeths... More

5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 20, 2011

Last week I stayed for 2 nights at Back-a-Bush, although the rain was poring down I had a great time!!

The neighbors... More
