Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location was excellent and I found the staff quite welcoming and friendly. I would definitely recommend to other travelers.
Negative: I did not like the fact that there was no bathroom in the dorm rooms. The toilets and showers were right next to the dorms but still, you had to go outside to get to them.
Summary: A fun and funky good time!

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It was my first experience at a hostel. We had a private room with private bath which was as expected. I can't speak to the dorms and shared bath. The location is in the middle of the "locals" area of Hopkins, near restaurants and the beach.
Summary: Great first experience at a hostel

Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: A very relaxing place to unwind. The kitchen is well serviced with cooking utensils and a fridge for your food. Great hammock area to relax. A selection of books to choose from. The owner provides some great advice for things to do and see with recommendations. Coffee was provided in the morning which was nice.
Negative: If you rely on wifi connection, do not stay here. The owners use a cheap provider and it goes down frequently and when it is working, the speeds are slow. I walked up the road to Ella's Restaurant where the wifi was perfect. The dorm is beside the front road, the walls have no insulation and it is very noisy. The hot water is solar. If you have days of cloud cover, there is no hot water.
Summary: Expensive for what it is.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location is fine
Negative: Very basic facilities, bathrooms were dirty, room had no A/C (not everywhere does so this is understandable), staff were not very interested, had to pay for drinking water. Not good value for money - it is too expensive for what it is. If the price was cheaper, it would be easier to accept this basic accommodation.

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Shady garden, morning coffee, friendly staff (with one exception), location, clean, comfortable beds
Negative: Could have used more comfortable seating for reading, lounging. Some guests didn’t clean up after themselves in the kitchen but I don’t know that could be changed.
Summary: Funky Dodo was my first hostel. (I’m 86.) I’d do it again!

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The private room was nice, even though it was a bit small. Everything was clean.
Negative: We didnt like the vibe. There were a lot of old people hanging around the hostel all day. Also, the facilities are very basic. We've slept at places in Belize that had much better facilities and had the same price as this hostel.

Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: It’s a lovely vibe with hammocks everywhere and a clean kitchen and shared bathroom. The beds were comfortable and the bunks were very high (with great steps up) and substantial so you weren’t too bothered by others fidgeting!
Negative: Some of the staff could do with cracking a smile every now and then (except Alison who was very friendly!), but they were helpful albeit reluctantly. The whole place needs a good lick of paint. It’s tired and some things are broken eg the locks for your padlock to go on the larger drawers. There are a few simple maintenance jobs plus a coat of paint which would bring this place up to its full glory!
Summary: Great vibe and location, needs a bit of TLC and some customer service training!

Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The room was spacious,quiet and clean. The bed was comfortable. Kitchen area was good. Plenty of outside space. Coffee and water available. Information board handy and close to food options and ATM. Easy to hitch a lift to most places from the junction but bus routes at main junction if you needed. Taxi option too if that's your thing. Some decent hikes not too far away. All in all a pleasant stay.
Negative: All good😁
Summary: Coast stop on route from BC to PG
