Positive: Bella’s Backpackers is hands down a full-star hostel experience! From the moment I arrived, the owner made me feel completely welcome. He went above and beyond, treating me to fresh orange juice and delicious fry jacks, and sharing insider tips on all the best local spots and activities. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and relaxed, making it feel like a home away from home. Whether you’re traveling solo or with friends, Bella’s is the perfect base to explore and enjoy the area. Highly, highly recommend!

Positive: The hostel was nice and the staff was helpful. Fun activities and a clean kitchen were bonusses as well.
Negative: Noisy environment because the spaces are very open and you just hear everything. There is also not much to do so I would not recommend staying more than 2 nights.
Summary: Good for 2 nights

Positive: Lovely bar, good kitchen superb location and kind staff- even gave a free welcome drink at the bar and made popcorn for film night.Fror tours they offer a little discount and they are with a great tour provider. ATM caves was simply breathtaking! Oh and free avocados, spices and even green oranges- new to me were on offer. As we're sweet cars who liked cuddles. Thanks so much.
Negative: Needed a clean, someone to sort the kitchen daily and wipe down sides, clean toilets and make up empty beds. Please don't let this put you off.

Positive: My friend and I were visiting San Ignacio for a couple of nights and we had the most comfortable stay at Bella's. We took the private room with two beds and a bath -- cozy, super clean, well maintained and air conditioned. Plenty of common spaces across four floors, including a well equipped shared kitchen which has pretty much all you could need. They're located just steps away from downtown SI which meant public transit was always accessible. The staff was incredible and offered us every support possible. The resident kittens were a special highlight!
Negative: Nothing!

Positive: The location is good, but anyway San Ignacio is so small (and is also the only safe, at least during the day, place in Belize mainland). The place is fairly clean and the kitchen is fully equipped (there is also some free fruits). The hotelier was responsive to the messages on booking.com app prior to my arrival, which is very important for the organization of the stay: there is nothing to see in San Ignacio itself, you have to use this place as a base to explore temples in the area, some of which can be visited also on you own, while for some others you need a tour (the hostel provide several of them, which have to be booked ahead). Bear in mind that no tours go to El Pilar as it is just way too risky for attacks, while the situation has improved for Caracol, for which there is no more armed car escorting tourist vans along the road like it was until the near past (now the temple is full of soldiers and the road is patrolled, but you are no longer escorted in columns of cars). Xunantunich can be reached by public bus (2,50$ each way) and you can go to Cahal Pech just on foot.
Negative: It is more a party hostel which is not my thing, but that’s a matter of taste. The real problems are others. The aircon in the room was way too strong: luckily, I got a bed in the mezzanine where the temperature was bearable. The are only very small lockers for valuables, not for the luggage) and almost all beds have no privacy curtains. Also, the elephant in the room: tour prices. The hostel will give you a discount with their friend tour company, but still the prices are crazy. They really take advantage of tourists.
Summary: They were responsive to messages for the organization of the stay, but the tours are too expensive.

Positive: The staff are friendly and helpful, you are able to meet people here and the location is good, so close to the centre.
Negative: I had a private room which I think was overpriced for the quality, the room was in bad condition and not that clean, there were mosquitos everywhere due to the bathroom window not shutting properly, I tried to get it shut as best as I could, noise also travels on right through the place so you will need earplugs.
Summary: Ok
