About

Discover Belize with us! Yellow Belly Backpackers sits overlooking the rolling hills of the Mayan Mountains, only a short distance from the hustle & bustle of downtown San Ignacio. We offer free bicycle rentals for quick access into downtown and are conveniently located steps from the main bus line, making arriving, departing, and visiting the surrounding area incredibly easy.

Youll be at home when you stay with us and it starts with our staff making you feel welcome from the time you step in the door. We are here to answer your questions, help book your tours, and guide you during your stay. So, start your morning with free breakfast of eggs, beans, assorted fruits, coffee, tea, juice, and more!) before heading out on the days adventure!

Whether youre discovering ancient Mayan ruins, exploring caves and waterfalls in Mountain Pine Ridge, or simply trying the local cuisine at the market (get the stuffed fry jack!), there is so much to discover around Belize!

When its time for dinner, youll find several locally owed restaurants & bars nearby, or, if youd rather cook in our communal kitchen, there are grocery stores just a minutes walk from our hostel. As the sun sets, share a Belikin beer with fellow travelers from around the world on our outside patio or indoor lounge area.

Nice staff, good social vibes without being a party hostel. Outside area with pool table and bar was great for socializing, tours offered by the hostel were also nice. No hot showers,no AC in the rooms, and no bed curtains was the main downside. Would stay here again.

Really lovely hostel with even lovelier staff. Conveniently situated right by the Cahal Pech ruins. They have daily activities and tours planned that I would definitely recommend attending. The breakfast was great as well!!!
