Reviews of Roatan Backpackers' Hostel

Location was very good. Close to sand bay beach and only a 10min taxi/bus to west end.

The bed for the double room is pretty small for a couple.

Basic rooms but fine. Kitchen is good. Close to supermarket

Shower was hot but went cold everytime. No free water.

Mel was awesome. Such a cute place. Loved it!!

Staff was super helpful and friendly. The kitchen and pool were awesome and I met so many friendly fellow travelers. Just a short taxi to west end and nice to be away from all the super touristy and overpriced stuff but to have the easy option to go there. Loved it. Miss it already

Location!

Excelente atención!

.

Well managed Great pool Location has good access to all parts of the island

Not much, a few more pots for cooking would be good

I only stayed here for one night, but thought it was excellent. I stayed in a very reasonably priced private room, which was basic but super clean. Breakfast is offered on site if you would like it, and there are lots of places to hang out around the hostel. There was a great vibe with the guests when I was there, mostly people on their own and a real mix of nationalities and ages. They had decided to go into west end of a quiz night and I joined them which was fun.

Nothing

friendly, happy staff, especially the owner Dayo (probably spelt the name wrong, but that's how it is in the song) volunteer staff exceptionally friendly, but of course that changes monthly cleanliness exceptional small lockers, but functional for money and passport kitchen the most organized of any hostel ever. individual food boxes fit in cleanest, most organized fridge ever

location not exactly waterfront or in town. $1 bus ride into town, but if you are a late night partier, it will be a $5 cab ride home, if you can find one inland location means it will be hot and buggy. screens on windows, but the fan in the room was weak puddles in the approach road give it a third world initial impression

Clean, comfortable private room with a well-maintained shared bathroom. The outdoor seating area is relaxing, and the pool is perfect for cooling off. The staff is amazing—super friendly and helpful. The location is excellent, just a short walk to a large supermarket. It’s also convenient for exploring, with taxis or colectivos to West End costing only $1–$2 and taking about 10 minutes. A great budget-friendly option with a welcoming atmosphere!

Nice private room with a small bathroom and comfortable outdoor seating area. Staff is super helpful and location perfect, very close to a huge supermarket.

Sometimes the community kitchen was a bit messy.

Amazing staff, super friendly and helpful! Having a pool was also nice to cool down on hot days. Location is a 10 minute 1-2$ taxi / collectivo ride away from West End.

The staff (especially Dale) was super nice and told us all about the island and what to do. A good value compared to other options on the island especially for private rooms. Has a supermarket right nearby and also a great comedor.

Some people don’t keep the kitchen super clean

The place had a nice homey feel. Nice pool and cafe. Nice communal kitchen. Each bed had a fan. Dale was especially hospitalble and made you feel welcome, completely fluent in English and knows the island well.

The location wasn't ideal

Hostel vibe , fresh easy going and great hosts , aircon was life saver after our travels. Recommend to all travelers

During my recent stay at Roatan Backpackers' Hostel, I had the pleasure of staying in one of their unique converted container rooms. This was an ideal blend of privacy and affordability, and felt like a tranquil retreat without straining my budget. The room was clean and comfortable, offering a cozy haven after days filled with island exploration. The hostel's communal areas were excellent and always tidy, and the pool was in amazing condition, providing a refreshing escape from the tropical heat. Beyond the accommodations, the hostel's atmosphere was warm and inviting. The communal kitchen and dining area had a sense of community among guests, making it easy to connect with fellow travelers. The hostel's location in Sandy Bay offered easy access to local attractions and public transportation to explore the rest of the island. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing valuable insights into local attractions and dining options. Overall, my experience at Roatan Backpackers' Hostel was exceptional, and I look forward to returning on my next visit to the island.

N/A

Very friendly staff. The room is cooling and bed is comfortable

The property was a lot more than it looks and very well kept. Mel and Belkis provided excellent service, assisted with transport recommends and there was a store and gym 5 minutes up the street. A perfect place to rest after a long flight.

Wish I would have known about the taxi scam at the airport, walk to the main road and catch a taxi or bus for 20% of the cost of the taxi scammers. The road was a bit washed out and muddy from the rain, but worth the effort.
