I really like Lydia's Guest House, especially as a single traveller. The rates are affordable for people on a budget. You can meet people from all over the world at Lydia's. The rooms are very basic & clean with fans. The shared bathrooms were always clean and never an issue. You can come and go as you please with locked... More

Clean and simple room, comfortable bed, and bathrooms that were always kept spotless. The full kitchen allowed us to prepare meals, rather than eat out all the time. Lydia was a gracious host and made us feel very much at home. I will definitely return.

As hostels go, I had a nice stay and met some nice people. I liked that it was not in the heart of things so it was quiet, but easy walk to all that you need and across from ocean. I saw some other hostels and didn't like what I saw. I had a fan in my room and there... More

We really enjoyed our time here. Simple room but very clean. The well equipped kitchen (by hostel standards) enabled us to cook yummy meals. Also good place to connect with other travelers. I'd recommend an upstairs room if possible for better view and air circulation, though our downstairs room was nice enough.

We stayed at Lydia's for one night in a house the had 4 bedrooms with 2 shared bathrooms and a refrigerator. We occupied 3 of the 4 rooms, and the rooms all had their own locks, but it was not what I was expecting. I thought we each had a private bathroom, etc. I think Lydia does offer some accomodations...

OK, no big comfort, but what do you need comfort for, when a sunny beach is almost right at your doorstep? Guest kitchen available, free Wifi, hammocks (a bit run down, bring your own if you want more comfort) and friendly owner.

This is a bit of a walk up the sidewalk but worth it. The rooms and shared bathrooms were clean. Lydia can help you book any tour or flight. There is a shared kitchen to put your food in the fridge or cook your own meals. It was a geat place to talk to other travellers. Bottled water is included... More

Hotel had a nice balcony overlooking the sea (well through a couple of houses). Owner was friendly. Clean, but nothing special room. Would come again.

Booked a room for Easter, basic private room with a double bed. Room was small without AC, but has a fan and was everything we needed. Price 50 Belize dollars, i.e. 25 USD per night. There are two shared bathroom for four rooms, so one was always available when in need. There is a bathtub and relatively good space in... More
