I stayed in Lower Dover for four nights and it was amazing! The property has lovely hiking trails and comfy bed and warm showers. Maddie is so sweet and the meals they will cook for you are delicious! They also helped us book our tours which was very helpful! I would definitely recommend staying here as a part of your journey.

We thoroughly enjoyed our four-night stay at Lower Dover, and feel we couldn't have picked a better place from which to experience inland Belize. Our cabin was clean, quaint, and in great condition. The meals were nutritious and filling, and gave us a chance to get to know other travelers, as well as the hostel's owner, Maddy. The hostel's setting in the midst of a small farm, jungle, ruins, and river was extremely pleasant. Maddy really made all the difference, with her relaxed, friendly attitude, her willingness to answer a multitude of questions beforehand, and her help in setting up local tours and drivers. We greatly enjoyed a trip to the ATM cave (the hostel's proximity allowed us to be one of the first groups in that morning) and to Tikal, both arranged by Maddy. After we left Lower Dover, we visited a very posh coastal resort, but Lower Dover is the place that most sticks in our mind, and the place we'd be most likely to visit again. Thanks, Maddy, for providing us with such a wonderful experience!…

5 Star Restaurant Delicious Meals created from local ingredients by a guru passionate nutritionist. Strongest WiFi for research, work or education - encompassing entire property. Friendly, frugal, compassionate & well educated staff. Accommodations to meet even the most demanding globe trotters. Based on a 5 Star rating - I personally award them 100 stars.

I have stayed at the Lower Dover hostel several times. I am an entomologist and this property has a wonderful diversity of insects and a nice stretch of forest with several different aquatic, forest, and meadow habitats. The variety of herps in this area always excites me and invites me back. The hostels are clean and charming, and the host is very knowledgeable about the area and very helpful and accommodating. The ruins on the property are amazing and thought-provoking to walk through. The hostel is in close proximity to many larger archaeological sites and other habitats.
