- Prides itself in being a party hostel, but is also suitable for those just looking for a nice place to stay
- they have a restaurant with a good variety of food at good prices
- facilties are good - comfortable beds, lockers, warm showers
- wifi is not bad, good place for those working from abroad.
- has events that you can sign up for - island party hopping, etc.
Response from Property: Hi Nitai, we loved having you stay with us - it was a pleasure getting to know you. Thanks for choosing Mad Monkey. Safe travels!

The staff were so accommodating. They attended to all my needs. The location is just few minutes away to Cloud 9. I had a great stay there.

This hotel was noisy and not very clean. During my stay, there was a power outage, but the hotel staff didn’t seem to care about the inconvenience it caused to the guests.
Response from Property: Hi there, we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your time at Mad Monkey. We do go to great lengths in our online marketing, videos, and room descriptions to make it clear that we are a party hostel. Regarding cleanliness, our housekeepers work diligently to clean, especially the bathrooms that they visit every hour. We discussed with the guest how to keep the area tidy as a courtesy to the next user. Last December, there was an issue over the entire island of Siargao: a fault in the submarine cable that resulted in a power outage, but this has been solved now, and everything is back to normal. Thank you, and safe travels!

Accessible to all. Accommodating ang mga staff. The restroom is clean. There are times lang talaga na mahina yung tubig .
Response from Property: Hi Brix, thank you for your review – it is always a treat to have nice people like you stay with us. Due to the dry season, our natural well takes some time to refill water and it affects the shower. Rest assured that our tap is working at all times. Thank you for supporting us and choosing a socially responsible hostel.

Everything was great. Prime location and you can escape to the beach in just a few steps. Kudos to receptionist Jem and guard Kuya Mike fas they’re very accommodating and friendly all throughout my stay. I wish there were signages on closing the door slowly though as some foreigners dont mind their own manners when sharing quarters. Some throw their tissues in the toilet and dont tend to flush it, not sure if it’s their culture but something Mad Monkey has no control over. Bonus points on having a lot of bathroom to choose from. They also offer FREE SHOTS at the bar during night party. I booked the bunk through Trip.com for only 648 pesos. When I tried yo extend my stay, it’ll cost me more than 3 times more. So book ahead at trip.com for cheaper prices.
Response from Property: Hi Monaliza, thank you for choosing Mad Monkey Hostels for your stay. We loved having you here and we wish you the very best for your onward trip.

The place is definitely clean. The staffs are very accommodating. The Manager is friendly and we even shared the same plane back to Cebu. He recognized me first and we started chatting. Very reasonable place to stay for solo traveler/back packers like me. Highly recommended! Oh, breakfast is great as well..
