“Excellent time at funky dodo”

A minute from the beach, in the centre of Hopkins, staff were super friendly and gave lots of local recommendations, communal areas were really nice to hang out and chat to other people in

Close tot he beach, good outdoor area

Location is good. Nice garden and communal area.

Helpful staff cute Place comfy sleeping

2 min walk to beach supermatket across the road restaurants 5 min walk Hot water Kitchen ok

5% additional comission if you pay by card Only cold water in the shower

Some of the staff is very kind and helpful. I loved the free light cinnamon coffee in the morning!

“Expensive for what it is.”

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.

“On its way out”

Great central location easy to access. Friendly owner who was happy to chat and point out where to eat.

Location is fine

“This wasn't a place where we felt welcome.”

We booked two nights. Because there was no Wi-Fi from the first evening and it wasn't fixed the next morning, we asked to cancel the second night. I need internet for work. The owner refused to refund that night, citing a policy she made up herself. If you advertise Wi-Fi as one of the highlights on booking.com, you should be able to deliver. That feels unfair. The same goes for the fee you have to pay for filtered water and to pay by credit card.

“Funky hostel great location”

Lots of space to chill in hammocks and other seating

“Funky Dodo Hostel – A Hidden Gem on the Caribbean Coast!”

I had only planned to stay at Funky Dodo Backpackers Hostel for one night, but ended up staying an entire week – and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the incredible team: Anna, Alison and Lorraine. Their genuine hospitality and friendly vibe made it a joy to stay there, and there was none of that sterile atmosphere you get with some hostels. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable. They were also incredibly knowledgeable and approachable and gave me great advice on things to do in the local area and beyond, and even helped me plan onward travel for the next leg of my journey. I stayed in a large family room with an ensuite bathroom at the back of the hostel. It was immaculately clean, spacious, and quiet. The room included a comfortable double bed and two bunk beds, perfect for groups or solo travelers who enjoy extra space and privacy. I also noticed that the communal showers and toilets were cleaned frequently and kept in great condition. Another reason to stay at the Funky Dodo is its perfect location—right in the heart of Hopkins Village. The beach is just a one-minute walk away, making it incredibly convenient for daily swims and sunset strolls. Plus, the beach area is lined with a variety of great restaurants and bars, offering plenty of dining options. The local supermarket is literally a 30 second walk away. The communal facilities are excellent. The common area is relaxed and welcoming with lots of benches, hammocks and tables . It is also spotlessly maintained, and well-equipped with two refrigerators, a microwave, gas stove, and a coffee machine – everything you need to feel at home (oh and there is free coffee in the mornings). There is also a beautiful roof top terrace that is worth checking out and is quiet too. My only regret was that I didn’t spend longer! Funky Dodo, thank you for an unforgettable stay.

I liked the hamacs, the open kitchen with lots of equipment to use, the fans in the bed…

“Affordable accomodation”

The showers were quite big, with hooks for your clothes and a shelf to put your toiletries. The toilets and showers were cleaned frequently.

“For half the amount of the price I would recommend it”

A nice hostel with a good location, very quiet at night

“Decent budget option, but could be improved”

-Clean rooms and common areas - Close to the beach - Equipped kitchen and fridge - Youth Hostel vibe

Such marvelous vibes at this hostel. Amazing location right in the middle of Hopkins - and a literally 1 minute walk out the back gate to a nice beach. Helpful owner who gave us recommendations and also was generous with some medicine for my boyfriend (who was in pain). Adorable private room with a big fan and comfortable beds. Great common area in the middle with chairs, hammocks, a kitchen to use, and lots of books to peruse. Phenomenal.

The private room was nice, even though it was a bit small. Everything was clean.

“Great vibe and location, needs a bit of TLC and some customer service training!”

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!
