Belize Hostels - Hostels are a favorite of backpackers as they offer simple accommodations for an affordable price. Accommodations can sometimes be dorm-like rooms and shared bathrooms and showers but the backpacker is more concerned with seeing the countryside than they are with hanging around the hotel.
