Stunning, great views and food, tranquil and peaceful. Theyre looking to build it up but I think its perfect as is, a wilderness retreat.

I would like access to WiFi in the room.

Marcia cooked us a delicious, traditional Belizean breakfast. The Fry Jacks were amazing!

The bungalows are a bit old and there’s some things that are in need of repair. The beds are hard although I understand this is normal for Belize. The food is pricey. It is good and there is plenty and they accommodated our requests (Marcy is amazing).

Beautiful grounds and really lovely staff. The bungalows were spacious and we enjoyed the daily housekeeping.

River water use clogs shower head on occasion. Got 1 cold shower as a result. Humidity!

Lovely staff and surrounding grounds. Food was great! WiFi only in the common area was great for disconnecting.

I would recommend to book activity by yourself and not with them. The price was way too high. They did not tell us that everything was with a 10% service on the bill. We only knew that at the end when we paid our invoice for our whole stay. (Food, activities you book with them, etc)

The little edge on a working on improving things like having shampoo in the rooms

The lodge is located right on the main road which initially I thought was a draw back since we got some road noise, but after visiting a couple of others, I realized it was a huge advantage. Roads here can be really terrible. Being on the main road made access far more achievable

The lodge is remote and rustic making it a great experience. The room amenities are few, with little storage and very small. For us it was not a problem.

Amazing location, very helpful and friendly staff, great food. Benoni was fantastic. The lodge rooms sit right on the beautiful river, with an impressive waterfall just a short stroll away.

It's an adjustment to remember not to put used toilet paper into the toilet.

It's a very relaxed atmosphere and great for the type of traveler that doesn't need a hair dryer or mints on the pillow. All the staff are friendly and kind. And we loved the lodge's two dogs who immediately befriend everyone.

This place would’ve been perfect but the rather outrageous sums they charge for dinner, which is nothing to write home about. You’re captive there for dinner so no choice. Otherwise beautiful place!

New ownership recently with plans for the next few months so guess we'll have to return to see the improvements and new menu with set prices.

Beautifully located in the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve, right next to a creek and beautifully landscaped grounds that have tons of plant varieties.We were upgraded to the room with a view of the creek, comfortable size room & bed (Unless you're very particular with your beds and pillows), and bathroom with space to hang toiletries, and fresh towels. Nice veranda enclosed in mosquito netting (same with all windows and the dining area!) with chairs facing the creek. Solar lights on the pathways to and from the rooms and dining room, newish road is quiet especially with the creek. Everyone is so warm and welcoming. Happily chat about the nearby surroundings, local sights, and recommendations Benoni leads the charge arranged transportation and tours for us, including taking us on a half day tour himself nearby. Oscar and Marci cook delicious local Belizean and Maya meals, each one just as tasty as the last (please don't make us choose favorites, it was all delicious!) for breakfast and dinner with a new menu incoming. Also available for lunch if you're just passing through. Maggie and Morgan are two adorable small dogs that initially act as welcoming committee and love a nice scratch behind the ears. Eco lodge so minimalist but homey atmosphere, yes wifi mostly in the main dining room area (which has books and games and Morgan & Maggie). Space for parking if you rent a car (we didn't), and easy to find just off the recentish paved road.

I loved everything about this place, it was my favorite of the entire vacation in Belize.

Neil and his crew are the best. You feel like you are visiting a friend, at the same time in this place you get to enjoy the serenity and peace.the food is homemade and delicious.the location is perfect for all the major activities around the area.

The property is very nice. The room is very cute and functional. The meal were fantastic

Temperamental showers - but that’s minor.

Amazing location in heart of nature reserve, in hikeable distance of Big Rock Falls, with river running through the grounds. Very sociable, laid-back atmosphere - we met some great people over supper both evenings. Great staff, who went out of their way to organise trips etc.

Stayed in February 2024

The only thing is how isolated it is, there is no where to go within walking distance and since there are no fridges due to the eco lodge, you have to essentially eat there. I would recommend car.

The food was amazing, the property was beautiful. What I appreciated the most was Jose as he was such a great wealth of knowledge about Belize and willing to go extra mile to make the stay incredible.

Bit of a drive to other sites but that comes with the woodland location! New road makes the journey quick and smooth. Not many facilities at site but lots nearby.

Great location in the woods & jungle (although is 35 mins from San Ignacio). Rooms are basic but clean and good beds and bathrooms! Communal area and dining ideal to interact with other guests! Dinner was top notch (3 courses, no menu). Great staff: owner Neil and man of many skills, Jose take care of all your requirements!

Jose was wonderful! He helped us book tours and helped us with anything else we needed.

as most accomodation prices in Belize, relatively high. No WiFi in rooms, but that does help to relax :)

beautiful surroundings, great food. My breakfast was converted to a light lunch since I was out early. Very friendly and helpful personnel

Brilliant location near falls and Caracol, and way cheaper than any of the other options. The rooms are amazing and so is the food.

Provided you know what you are in for (for instance no wi-fi and rather poor lighting in the cabins), this place is great.

Beautifully decorated room, and great grounds. The new road means it is very easy to get here with a car. The staff are attentive, friendly and informative. The meals are gourmet. The location means that on a clear night the starts are great. Wi-fi works very well in the main building and you can sit there for the internet and a drink.

Unfortunately the paths were not lit up and my phone died and I fell after dinner walking back to the cabin. I cut my leg pretty bad and have some pretty big bruises. I would suggest some solar lights along the path or flashlights for clients. Safety should be number one. As well, a salad with dinner instead of the shrimp reduction would have made the meal superb. We were 4 staying and only 2 chairs on the porch, 4 chairs would have been great.

The property grounds were beautiful. Nice walkways and landscape. Staff were very friendly. Dinner was good and breakfast was excellent.

Stayed in February 2023

The electricity and internet access were very limited, and there was just one overhead open light bulb to light our room. The lighting in the bathroom was poor, and there was little hot water or water pressure in the bathroom sink. There was no way to recharge your phone or computer in your room, and you had to do so from an extension cord in the dining room up the hill from where you stay, which was particularly inconvenient at night. We loved the Pine Ridge Lodge, but it was simple accommodation, and not a match if you're seeking luxury.

The location of the lodge in a remote forest preserve was beautiful and easily accessible by a newly paved road. Our host was a great cook and went to great measures to accommodate our food preferences and health needs. The support staff members, particularly Jose, were also very attentive to our needs and gave 110% effort to make our stay enjoyable. The price was reasonable for the type of accommodation offered, and it is clear that Pine Ridge Lodge is working hard to provide a decent alternative to the other higher priced luxury lodges near by.

The location in the middle of the pine forest was great. The owner and Jose cook wonderful dishes (local style). They are very friendly and take good care of their guests. It is not a posh place for celebrities, but a great place forthose who can appreciate the feeling of being at home.

The riverside casita is a duplex instead of its own dwelling.

Beautiful scenery and incredible food with authentic home cooked meals.
