We have been staying at the funky dodo for 3 nights in a private room during our trip through central amerika. We liked the hostel and it's atmosphere very much and it was well worth the price!

I got lucky that there was space in the Funky Dodo dorm because the only alternatives in town seemed to be more expensive cabins and resorts. As with any hostel, the fellow travelers really make the experience. Met some new friends from around the world...More
I had an amazing stay at this hostel.
Firstly, the owners are really friendly people who are always on the premises and ready to help with any doubts you have.
When I arrived, there was no more room in the dorm (I hadn't booked anything),...More
The private room with bathroom was great. Easy beach access from behind the hostel. Communal kitchen was perfect, as many Belizean hostels do not provide this (which we did not know). Vegetable market and grocery store 2 minute walk away from hostel.

Yep. bus frm Belize to Belmopan, and Ritchie, James, Griga, or any bus going to Dangriga. You must change buses in Dangriga. There is a 1020 bus to Hopkins and a 1730 bus to hopkins. A taxi from Dangriga will run you about 40BZ, negotiable, to Hopkins. There is really only 1 major road and the bus will take you past Funky Dodo and drop you off. Alternately take any bus from Dangriga south( bus terminal people will assist) get off and hitchhike the 5 miles to the coast. During daylite hours, this is accepted practice and cool way to meet people. Good luck!
