I read the previous review and didn't believe it, so showed up anyways to see about a room. The owner was not there so we waited around and talked to the people who were staying there until she arrived. The bright side is that the place has a large outdoor kitchen with big refrigerator and the only hostel in town... More

This place would have been average if it weren't for the staff. The place was fairly clean, could have done with a bit of love but acceptable. The kitchen was fine, everything worked, nice big fridge. The wifi was ok, bit slow. The beds were less than average and the bathroom was ok, only cold water tho. So, I arrived,... More

Bellas hostel was one of our favourite places in Belize. The owner Natasha went out of her way to make sure we had a true belize experience. She took us to locally known water holes, waterfalls, made us some delicious hummus, a local bar for some belize beer, and even took us all the way to Placencia to our next... More

We stayed at Bellas for 3 nights and had an amazing time, great location, clean and friendly. With the use of kitchen areas plenty of space to cook and eat. Lots of chill areas so great place to meet other travellers and swap stories we met some great people who we are still in touch with. I loved the hammocks... More

First impressions of owner were grubby but friendly. By second night I was sitting on my bed all night reading with the light on while huge bed bugs continued to attack me to suck my blood! Informed Natasha the owner the next morning and her response was to very rudely insist that I must have definitely brought them to her... More

Really nice place. Les and his girlfiend run the place with a really warm, family feel. The hostel itself is clean, good sized rooms, and a great kitchen. A real find in San Ignacio... and nothing like the disaster zone of Bella's on Caye Caulker!
