My boyfriend and I stayed two nights at Yuma's in a private room which was just right. We very much enjoyed our stay. Highlights were the courtyard, pier, multiple hammocks, and location. Also we met some of the best people of our trip here! The staff was friendly and helpful and the rules really did help to make the place... More

Susanne, who now owns Yuma's, runs a tight ship. The facility is cleaned twice a day, there are raised wood slated bases set into the showers that add an outdoor touch. Our room had two single beds. Neither mattress was great and they should probably be retired, but they weren't so bad that I felt inclined to complain, my companion... More

This place is everything it promises to be: perfect location, clean, charming atmosphere and decor, quiet after 11 PM, friendly and safe. I cant recommend it too highly. The former owners (former name Tina's Backpackers Hostel) may have had bedbugs but Yuma's definitely does NOT have bedbugs! No matter how hot it is, Yuma's has plenty of shade, a cool... More

Yuma's House is a cool, colorful, funky hostel, the likes of which you rarely see! Susanne and the rest of the staff are friendly and knowledgeable and always there for you. The place is nice and clean. While it's true that Susanne runs a tight ship, it does help maintain a great vibe and a respectful atmosphere. If you want... More

I stayed here for 4 nights earlier this month and had a great time. The rooms and bathrooms were always extremely clean, and the owner was very accomodating. Perfect view, right on the water, nice hammocks to relax at, free wifi, and a really cute dog! Definitely will go back. Book in advance! Rachel More

I stayed with a couple of friends at Yumas. It is a wonderful  hostel. I have stayed in about a dozen hostels in the last couple of years; this was the CLEANEST hostel I have stayed in. The hostel is a bit different from most of the others I have stayed in. Guests are likely to be more studious than... More

Dear Charlie, Since it's always easier to complain than praise I really do appreciate when you let me know that we are getting it right. Many thanks for the kind words. Hope you have many more opportunities to flourish in the shade under the beautiful palm trees here in Caye Caulker. Best, Susanne More

My friend and I stayed at Yuma's Hostel for two nights. While it's true that there are strict hostel policies, I think it keeps the place quiet and clean. Pros - The location is right on the beach, easily accessible to everything (though to be fair, Caye Caulker is super small and everything is accessible!). It has a kitchen, with... More

My family and I stayed here for four days over the new years holiday this year. As soon as we arrived we realized there had been a miscommunication in reservations and there were only 3 beds reserved instead of 6. After a long discussion, it came out that the owner had made a mistake in reserving the beds. Due to... More

Yuma's place is a tropical treasure. We spent 5 nights there in November 2011 and thoroughly enjoyed it. A few loud yanks but they had to be quiet or disappear at 11pm as its quiet time then, which suited us fine as we were doing the open water dive course. For all those who knock Susanne you obviously turned up... More
