"Everything and everyone at the Black Orchid was fantastic. The food was delicious, the beds were extremely comfortable, the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the drinks were strong. 10/10 would recommend."

"Amazing location "

"If you are looking for the jungle experience than this is the place for you. We were greeted by the local troop of Howler monkeys on arrival. Beautiful house right on the river. Locals had been seeing Manitee in the river near the house. Kenny and Shanna were great. We are already planning a return trip. "

"Note: Whereas we originally signed up for Jungle House, they needed to switch us to Howler Landing. (explanation not clear). That said, the house was very nice, quite beautiful, comfortable, with 2 comfortable queen beds, modern appliances, spacious, and very well stocked (except no shampoo or soap for shower). Shanna & Kenny were "super", friendly, helpful, communicative & provided transportation (for a price) between destinations. They were very responsive to questions & concerns. You will see Howler monkeys quite close up. There is a river nearby, but you have to "wade" through construction "stuff" & mud to get to it. It's not "swimmable". The negatives were: its remote location, in a fairly poor neighborhood with few services nearby. There is a fair amount of traffic noise. The property is under construction (other buildings in the immediate vicinity) & so it's kind of a "mess" at this time; so the "surroundings" are quite suboptimal -- it may be better in the future. A nearby neighbor cranks up his stereo very loud much of the daytime, but fortunately, not at night."

"The place was clean but the photos are showing 2 places. The beds were confortable. The bedroom were not insonorated like it was written so we could ear lots of neighborhood dogs barking at night. Overall the place had everything we needed to visit that local part of Belize."

"The owners and staff where top notch, welcoming and friendly the food was amazing we are definitely going back, horse and wranglers the Best "

"We were looking for a few days to truly get away from the craziness of life. This property fit the bill in every way. It’s off grid with beautiful views. Although you can hear far away traffic at times, it’s not noticable. The house has everything you need. It was so clean, the bed was very comfy, and the porch was like being up in the trees! There are many amazing birds, fruit trees, and flowers. The howler monkeys in the jungle were so cool to hear! Nicole was so helpful with any and every question we had. Having a caretaker on the property at night lent to a feeling of safety! You’d never know he was there but we befriended him and he’s so helpful and even took us around the property and picked fruit for us! If you are looking for an off-grid, quiet, serene haven for a get-away, this is it! Highly recommend!"
