Amazing family run hostel - 10/10 would recommend!

This place is great. A family run business with everything that makes up a good hostel. The staff are all super friendly and helpful, they also do free trips out to places like Monkey Falls etc to get people bonding and keep them entertained. The rooms are great with multiple levels and beds spread out so you never feel too cramped. The place was kept clean and the shower was decent (although only cold water). Kitchen was spot on and the hang out areas are epic. There is a bar with a great atmosphere and music, there are hammocks hanging everywhere so you can chill out and watch the day go by and best of all, they have pet cats and dogs who wander the property regularly! 10/10 for my stay here. Would absolutely recommend this place.

No problems recommending Bella's

As an ex-backpacker now traveling with a 10yo, I was a bit nervous and not sure what to expect. I can very safely say that I have no legitimate complaints. We had a private room with AC which was more than enough and very reasonable for the money. Staff was everything you could ask for...and the daily fry-jacks and orange juice were a fantastic bonus. Honestly, no complaints at all. To go a step further, I'm now at an AirBNB just up the street because the rest of the family joined...and the first thing we did was to head back to Bella's to close out the night.

great vibe, loved it

i love the huge tree is growing inside the hostel with 1000s of birds singing morning and evening, the architecture of the hostel is awesome, different levels, open kitchen, lovely people, great vibe. And the dorms cool and quiet and used for sleeping. There was so much space in the hostel to socialize and hang out ... not need to do it in the bed rooms. I liked the curtains around the beds.
