They have the most trustworthy staff. I became good friends with Lloyd, King, Jovan, Enzo and everyone else when I first came to the island and didn't know anyone. They took care of everything, even things that aren't part of the hostel's amenities. They treat you like a friend, not just like a guest. Adriane is very hands-on in managing the hostel, even being very particular about the type of tapa they serve. The bed in the dorms are so big and comfortable, something I didn't expect in a hostel dorm. Their restrooms are always clean and fully stocked. Food is always delicious and fresh. The free shots at the bar after 8pm are actually very cost-efficient for getting yourself drunk before going to parties. Lol. I'll miss this place and I'll definitely come back.

Many of the tuktuks outside will try to make you pay higher every chance they have

The staff are ace! Jovan, King, Dredd and Generose made my stay in siargao amazing! It was easy to connect with other solo travellers and the vibe was fun with activities every night. I had a minor issue with my booking but they were quick to resolve it for me. The showers and bathroom is located out the room which is what I prefer so there’s no one waking each other up at night etc.

The showers only have cold water which is fine when it’s hot weather - but it’s my understanding that they are working to get some showers with hot water

Le personnel, vous dira ce que vous voulez entendre tant que vous signez les Excursions avec eux. Prix 40% plus élevé que partout ailleurs, avec comme seule explication … que le petit dej est inclus .. tricheur !

It was my second visit to Mad Monkeys Siargao and I still love it. The staff are amazing and always greet you with a smile. Jovah, Steve and especially Jem were always there to help me. I'm looking forward to my discount, Steve. Haha! See you next year! Amping. - V

the staff

there is not enough privacy

The staff are all accommodating, Cristian, Dred, Jovan and Jonathan. Thank you for making my stay the best experience! You guys rock! I also love the different activities every night, the beer pong tournament and the pub quiz which we won that game.

Nothing. Just continue giving the best service.

The staff most specially the guest experience crew Cristian, Jovan, Dredd and Jonathan they make your stay here amazing and so much fun. I had the best time everytime i stayed in mad monkey. The Receptionist stevenson is very helpful if i need some assistance. Elissa and Joseflor is very welcoming to me they become really a good friend of mine from last year i visited here theyve been really good to me. And Also Rackie for always helping me out when i need a scooter . Over all experience in the hostel is amazing and its easy to make friends most specially if you’re a solo traveler.

Nothing.

Stayed for a week and 1 and half day here. PROS: • Starlink wifi; sometimes strong/weak but manageable • Air conditioner & Fan • Back up generator (There was a whole day black out & Mad Monkey 💯) • Area is located in a good area with good data coverage • Comfy wide beds with 2 fluffly pillows and sturdy beds. • They're constantly upgrading the place. • Near Cloud 9 • Best hostel to socialize if you're a solo traveller • Free shots at the bar every hour until 10pm • Different activities every night • Friendly staffs (shoutout to Jonatahan, Christian, Jovan & Drei—I love you!) • Free drinking water • Unlimited tissue and handsoap • Toilet with bidet • Big parking space • Bike rental outside the hostel (there are cheaper like 300+ php but on a different rental shop) • Laundry : Outside the hostel (cheaper than Mad Monkey's) • 300 php deposit towel which will be given back after you return the towel. • 2 charging port and 1 lamp in your bed. • Free welcome drink stub SUGGESTION: • Have a Love Island Room that people can rent for 1h/2h/3h or 24h to have intimacy (They're really against having intimacy in the dorm.) • Have a bowl of free earplugs (Just like in Mad Monkey Panglao) to allow regular intimacy in regular dorms. 📍Note for the travellers: • Expect people to have sex in the dorm.

PROS/CONS (50/50) • No noise after 10 pm (residential area) • NO intimacy allowed in the rooms. (If you want, you have to book a private room or do it in the shower / avoid getting caught). If you get caught a staff will ask you out. • In relation to above, they have CCTV so they'll be watching your move especially when you're with someone. CONS • Everthing is pricey • Water shortage (happens anytime during the day/night) • Filth underneath the bed & at the sides. • Quite far from the main center, scooter is necessary. Tuktuk is 30 php during the day & 50 php at night (sometimes the drivers asks for more esp at night) • Pricey food, drinks, and tours. • Bathrooms are sometimes smelly • No privacy in the bed since the divider isn't all the way down (legs can be seen) and the curtain doesn't go all the way. • No free lock for the lockers • 1 rude night guard (Didn't get his name; He was doing his job but he could've handled it better) • No hot shower • No gym and kitchen
