perfect location in Hopkins with a beautiful roof terrace. we had a very nice stay here and by far the best shower in Belize..

New construction, just across the road from the beach, near all facilities, rooms are comfy and very clean ,there’s a lamp near the bed a big plus**and space to put your things, big windows. hot water with good water pressure, fan works good, upper terrasse to chill, fridge and kettle, staff is friendly and helpful the place feels good and comfortable I recommend even if there’s improvement to be done.

the rooms can get real hot in the afternoon , it’s a concrete construction without trees or vegetation around and the design doesn’t help for flow of air.I didn’t use the upper double bed because the ceiling is too low so if you’re claustrophobic use the one downstairs. The rest is all good.

We had a great stay! Emma was super kind and helpful in assisting us to get transportation to Bocawina National Park and to continue our journey to Placencia. The room was nice, and there was a good bathroom with a hot shower. I liked the rooftop with hammocks, some seats, a fridge and a few basic kitchen supplies. If you're a licensed motorbike driver, it's possible to rent those for a day or a week!

Emma was awesome, super helpful and genuinely nice host. The room was clean, had everything we needed, and perfect location.

Emma is a fantastic host and really helped me before I even arrived. location perfect very clean comfortable room lovely roof terrace

nothing to add

Loved the cost of the hostel. There were other friendly visitors and Emma was a GREAT host!! Also loved the style and common area/rooftop

The property was very practically designed by the owner with all the essentials necessary when you are backpacking. Nice terrace where you could chill and also hang your wet clothes if you needed to wash anything. The room had hooks to hang things. Emma was very good host, very helpful. She also had guide books and tourist advise all printed if you needed to find a restaurant or a trip everything was on hand. One of the best accommodations we have stayed during our trip around Belize. I would recommend a cooking class we have done with the locals cooking Belize national dish. It was such a great experience and lot of fun. Just a little tip if planning to take early bus from Dangriga when in Hopkins to travel to Belize city or Belmopan rather try to take the bus from the Hopkins junction as we had problems to get on a bus at early morning in Dangriga there were no spaces as the station was too busy with lot of people. We wanted to get the Express bus to Belize city but the bus is changing to Express from Belmopan therefor the bus should stop at the Junction in Hopkins.

excellent location and clean! lots of great amenities in communal spaces.

wish the beds and pillows had a bit more cushion but was fine for the short stay

- super sweet and cozy rooms with own bathroom - amazing rooftop terrace - Emma makes sure you‘re enjoying your stay to the fullest and helps with recommendations - perfect location - make sure you try the banana bread at Caitlin‘s bakery

The roof top is fabulous. The host was so friendly. She even helped us a lot that we got something back that we had forgotten in the hostel.

Really nice hostel in a great location in Hopkins.There are nice restaurants, bars and a few supermarkets close by. We are gonna mis this place. Emma was really helpfull with planning our activities. The chill area on the rooftop was perfect after a day of snorkling or hiking.

Very cute place to stay for a few nights, great location in the Hopkins. The owner has lots of great recommendations for restaurants, things to do, places to see... There is some parking spots available if you have your own car, otherwise it's very easily accessible for shuttles or taxis.

Really nice decor, rooms had everything. staff were very friendly and answered all my questions about Hopkins!

The crash pad was just that, a perfect place to crash for the night (or two). I loved the use of space and left with ideas for my own tiny home. The rooftop deck was my favorite and the owner was so thoughtful with putting a mini fridge, coffee maker and fresh water up there. Not to mention books and games. The coffee shop around the corner was amazing with the best gluten free waffles. The host that you are in contact with is wonderful. He is a true artist and I think designed all the cool finishing touches. It is small and the top loft was hot. Clearly the size was a plus for my family. The heat can’t be helped and there are fans. I don’t mind a little sweat. Actually when we came back for another stay a few days later, the temp was much more comfortable. Again, it’s not a complaint at all but if you want AC, depending on when you visit, you may look elsewhere. In my opinion it would be a shame to miss out on this gem for any reason. My family of 3 can’t wait to stay at Crash Pad again.

Maybe put a stronger fan on the top loft

This is a chic little hostel in the center of the village. The first room we were shown to had the bed on a mezzanine reached by a steep ladder. My 77 year old husband was not able to manage this but fortunately they had another room available with a conventional bed which they immediately offered us at no extra charge. Everything is modern, smart on clean. The beach is just across the road, and decent eateries a step away. Very good value for a no frills stay.

Beware of the bed on the mezzanine! Would be fun for a young couple though. The bathroom is impeccable but really small, and could actually be a bit awkward for a large person.

the host !

very friendly owner, superclean room, lovely terrace, great place to stay in Hopkins

The room was impeccable, the bed was comfortable, multiple fans in the room including a remote controlled oscillating fan as well as bedside ones. The hostel owner Emma is an incredible human being and great host. The rooftop chill out area is an amazing shared space with free water and a fridge and communal general items like sunblock and insect repellant. The shower in my room was good enough to write home about. This hostel attracts polite and openminded hostel guests. It was honestly the best place I stayed in my entire time in Belize. A+

Nothing.

proprietor Emma very helpful, great location, wonderful upper terrace for relaxing, cooking, posted info about local restaurants and sites to see

Very good location, just about 100m from the beach and restaurants/coffee bars. The host is super friendly and gives good tips for activities, food,…. You can also rent a motorcycle there. Rooftop terras is super cosy with hammocks. The room was very clean. WIFI was great.

The only thing I could say was that we did not have warm water, but it was quite refreshing to take a cold shower because of the warm weather.

Emma is a great host, she helped us a lot organising our activities and planning our trip. The room is comfortable and the bed on the mezzanine is really cosy. Everything was very clean. I recommend.
