Bathroom is less in number ..for like 6-7 rooms there is one bathroom on ground floor which was locked during my whole day..there were other bathrooms in 1st floor which was easily accessible..staff in general is nice though..food part was really sad for me as it has never happened before in last 13 years of my travels…the staff also didnt care..

Property was clean,not that loud,kitchen was good as well

Not perfect clean, but it is a hostel with a lot of people and not a 5* hotel :)

I stayed almost 4 month at the Mad Monkey Hostel. If you're looking for a place to feel at home, Mad Monkey Hostel is the place to be. For me, Mad Monkey is more than just a hostel, it's become like a little family. You can relax by the pool or in the cinema lounge, you can meet people to explore a lot of waterfalls around or enjoy a party night in the common area (with good free welcome drinks by the bar) and a lot of events . Additionally every morning you get a delicious breakfast. The hostel prides itself on cleanliness and the well-being of its guests. If you want to have a relaxing stay, but not get bored and meet great people, I highly recommend Mad Monkey.

Super Soft Beds

It is not that I did not like, it is more for considaration. The Bar in the hostel works till 12 am, can be noisy. Bathrooms are one or two for a floor. Also no bedlights.

Hostel is clean, crew is friendly. Tour agency at reception. Breakfast is amazing 👏. Location is very good, closer to train station than to The Lagoon. Plenty of communal space.

It is very loud and the bathrooms very small. Despite that, it’s a good hostel.

The location is perfect!

I'm not sure if I could stay for long (public bathrooms), not that good for solo travelers who stay shortly

It was overall a good hostel!

I stayed at Mad Monkeys hostel for a total of 1 week. I was very satisfied with the hostel. I think the best thing was the free breakfast in the morning that is available until 10am. I ate my fill of pancakes for a week. So good! Apart from that, I also found the hostel super social. Every evening there are different activities such as the pub crawl, which was really fun as lots of people take part and you go bar hopping together. The staff are also really nice. Unfortunately, once I lost my headphones and I couldn't find them again at the location, so I tried to locate them with my phone and it showed that they were in a room. I went to reception and told them what had happened. Harriet from reception then let me into the room and that's where I found the Airpods again. I have no idea how they got there but I don't care as long as I got them back. I was so grateful for her help. I can only recommend the hostel, it is social, the kitchen and bathrooms are cleaned several times a day and the staff are super nice and helpful. I had a great week there ☺️

There wasn’t always enough bathrooms for the number of rooms, specifically more an issue when it came to showers but sometimes toilets. A few long term lodgers.

The room was a good size for a 4 bed bunk, there was a good social space as well as several balcony seating areas

The bathrooms were tidy overall, but the showers were a bit messy whit hairs for almost the 6 days I stayed.

Bedroom was very nice. Also the location was amazing, near everything, with supermarkets and pharmacies, and also lots of restaurants to eat. The location couldn’t have been better

The women behind the bar (manger of the bar) with a drinking problem was screaming and cursing. That women needs a training communication. People get free drinks if you give her a good review. So if read something good about her that’s why.

Nice place to meet new people
