    The price is complicated for me but i believe compared to the test of the island price it is quite good

    It was close to the departure station and they had gender separate dormitory Seems to have a lot of animation, only stayed one night tho the people were really friendly and overall good vibes

    No hot water in the showers and very weak wifi that didn't reach our dorm. Also would've loved if they added a pool table.

    Absolutely beautiful location! The staff were all very involved with the guests and made all the activities extra fun. We joined the snorkelling and fishing tour and had loads of fun with beautiful views and great vibes (shoutout to Nam and Kang for being the best boat crew). Would also 100% recommend beer olympics, Lauren really brought the party alive!

    Mad Monkey is a great place where to stay in Koh Rong. There are always great activities organised by the team (beach volleyball, pub crawl, boat trips…). The Mad Monkey team is absolutely amazing and always help people out. The improvement I could suggest is to put a remote control available to people in the dorms so that people can change the temperature of the air conditioning. I would definitely stay there again! :)

    Great bungalows and beach to chill at

    The staff was completely uninterested and unhelpful. They weren’t rude, and I get that dealing with drunk 20-year-olds all day isn’t fun, but a little effort would have gone a long way.

    When I booked Mad Monkey, I was a bit worried about how it would turn out. We’re definitely not the party type, but options were limited close to New Year’s. I was pleasantly surprised—we got our own lovely bungalow (I expected just a double room) with great amenities like air conditioning and a bathroom with hot water. There were parties, but we couldn’t hear them at all, and the beach was incredible—much better than the Khao Tauch area. It exceeded my expectations!

    Could use a bit more outside seating. And mattresses weren’t too comfortable. Aircon could be turned on a couple of hours earlier.

    Had a little issue with some girls in the room bringing boys in our female dorm but that has nothing to do with hostel/management/staff, it's only a matter of people being disrespectful. Staff actually handled the matter very well and we appreciated it.

    The staff was amazing, kind and helpful. The location is good, but there isn't much too do around that bay apart from sun baking, swimming and relaxing on the beach (which is great, don't get me wrong eheh). It's a party hostel, so if you want calm, quiet and peace, it won't be for you. Otherwise it is great for a few drinks and meet people from around the world. And even party hard if you feel like it!

    In the dorm, we don’t have access to the AC’s switch so during some nights it was so cold!!! The dorm was a bit sandy. Moreover, there is no calm place. It would be an interesting idea to create some chill zones.

    Amazing staff, beautiful location, fun activities and you meet a lot of people !

    The AC in our dorm was a nightmare, it was sweltering hot 90% of the time and when the AC was supposed to be on, it just wasnt. SAND EVERYWHERE.

    It was on a gorgeous beach but most of all the staff were all so lovely, especially Jo and his magic tricks, they were sick and we miss him, made up for any issues.
