Food and hotel friend 🧡
If Had a TV 😆
I like that the receptionist was really accommodating and friendly. I like the vibe.
No receptionist at night so there was a miscommunication with the guard. If there are issues for those who come in late, it can be a problem. Also, the bed was creaking. And the bunk beds like the other mad monkeys, the upper bunk is very high.
Nice place. Relaxing ambiance. Cool crowd. Delicious food.
A bit far from the boulevard. Need to pay a little extra on trike.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Incredible Stay at Mad Monkey. Made Even Better by the Amazing Staff! From the moment I walked through the door, Steph and Yuri at the front desk made me feel like the most welcome guest in the world. Their warm, genuine smiles instantly put me at ease, and their friendly, helpful attitudes set the tone for what turned out to be an awesome stay. Jeavs behind the bar and the entire staff at the Mad Monkey are awesome.
The swimming pool, staff was super nice, clean
Not very central, water not provided early in the morning, the room with ac was freezing
Affordable and perfect place to stay if youre solo
Nothing
Helpful staff. Clean rooms because housekeeping comes in everyday. Peaceful at day and lively at night. Walking distance to restaurants.

I had such a great stay at Mad Monkey Dumaguete! The place has an awesome backpacker vibe that makes it super easy to meet other travelers from around the world. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming,not to mention the reception and bar area, always ready to help and make sure everyone was having a good time. High thumbs up to the housekeeping team, the rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with strong air conditioning and cozy beds that made it easy to relax after a long day of exploring. Thumbs up as well for the kitchen staffs and bar staffs, the food tasted great and the drinks were really good too. The location is quiet and safe, yet still close enough to the city center by tricycle. The area was very aesthetically IG vibes, specifically the pool areas. The lights, the ambiance, everything was so nice. Definitely perfect aesthetics for someone who loves to take pictures like me. Overall , it’s excellent value for money and definitely one of the best hostels to stay at in Dumaguete. Highly recommended, i would absolutely stay here again!!!
The staff are friendly especially the receptionist ms. Steph she is very accommodating, always willing to lend a helping hand. They also offers a peaceful and relaxing quite place to stay and a warm atmosphere, housekeeping team leaded by miss Hanna they did a great job for a clean and comfortable room to stay, and the food was amazing it's very delicious, they also offer a lot of drinks to enjoy and trying the cocktail Masterclass was an epic experience for being a bartender for a night mixing your own drink and it has a free nachos and when I'm checking out thanks to kuya mark for carrying my luggage and to ma'am yuri thanks for booking a trike for my transportation towards the seaport. I definitely recommend this place to stay for a solo or a group travelers.
It was so nice
Nothing
Limpio en general, personal muy amable, buena localización, buenas instalaciones
Una cucaracha en la habitación (entendible, estás en filipinas), karaoke i música muy alta hasta las 11 de la noche
Hôtel sympathique, animé avec un joli cadre. Service de restaurant sur place.
Un peu bruyant
Location, attentive staff. Free water dispenser.
Le dortoir femme était super. Location scooter facile. Resto sur place bien avec cocktails. Je n’´ai pas testé la piscine mais. A donnait envie. Le cadre est sympa. La sdb dans le dortoir était grande, lumineuse. Tout est propre. Top ! Bon wifi. Et le dortoir femme était calme car on était à l’autre extrémité du camp. Cintres sur place.
Mettre à dispo une serviette de bain. Attention aux TPE car espace entre le lit et le mur. La Clim était très froide et on a demandé à baisse le deuxième soir. Parfait !
Premiere fois dans un mad monkey, bon hostel mais un peu cher je trouve. Il y avais peu de guest donc peu d'ambiance. Les alentours à visiter sont oufs. L'hostel est pas tres loin du port dans un coin calme. Je le trouve mieux amenagé que celui de Siquijor.
Je trouve que c'est cher ca pourrait etre mieux pour ce prix.
Nettes Ambiente und viel Unterhaltung für jüngere Gäste.
Im Zimmer fehlt jegliche Möglichkeit, Kleidung aufzuhängen oder ein Schrank dafür. Für einen längeren Aufenthalt nicht geeignet. Die Dame beim check-in war sehr freundlich, aber der Herr beim check-out hat keinerlei Interesse gezeigt, uns ein Taxi oder Trycicle zu rufen. Schlechter Service.
The pool, the people were nice.
I didnot get a key. The beds made a lot of noise. I had to pay for towel. There was only 1 toilet paper roll for 6 woman for the whole day. The promote a whatsapp number that you can message for any help, no one responded to it. The music was extremely loud, the beds were shaking and it was till 12 at night. The ATM was unavailable. So not a good stay.
Spacious
None
Great ambiance with greens all around.
Nothing I guess
The personal was really friendly.
The airconditioning in the dorm was ice-cold. There was karaoke until midnight which made going to bed earlier impossible. When you're into joining the party this is a good place. If you're more into getting some night rest (as I was hoping for), this is not the place for you.
It was good the swimming pool and the location, the staff was nice. I took a massage they offer but it was no good. They dont allow you to bring food or drings from outside because they have a bar with extremly expensive prices.
If you want to rest you can not rest, they sing karaoke very laud till more than 00am.... and the karaoke is in front of the rooms. They should decide or to be a Bar or to be a Hostel.
The noise of other traveller. There are some who keeps talking on their phone even if it's midnight already
All the staff are very accommodated. And friendly
The staff are excellent the pool and the decoration and the happy hours
Bed is too low and not comfortable,,, a foam. Not mattress
Cozy and comfortable
Bunk beds are too high for me but still it’s comfortable to stay
El aire acondicionado estaba muy intenso. Hacía frío en la habitación.
The staff are very friendly, the place is comfortable and clean, my top choice for next time.
nil
Curtains in bed, room is comfy to sleep. Nice garden
Room too cold and blanket is too thin. Cr had 2 millipedes - needs more sealing
Everything! Its so beautiful tho and amazing will surely gonna recommend this to my friends!
None so far, maybe i would like to recommend some of the staff to be more entertaining and more welcoming to give us more positivity and goodvibes in the place hehe thats all By asking how was the food, the stay, the sleep, and everything to make the customers feels cared about hehe
Affordable
Schönes Hostel mit Bar und Restaurant! Der Pool direkt an der Bar war auch angenehm. Als ich dort war, war nicht viel Partystimmung. Hostel bietet auch Apo-Island Tour an. Personal sehr freundlich! Würde wiederkommen.
Die Musik der Bar hört man bis ins Zimmer aber da es ein Partyhostel ist, war mir das vorher schon klar. Mit Ohropax hörte man nichts mehr. Gab leider keine Handtücher for free. Die dorms sind seeehr kalt. Die Klimaanlage war jeden Tag auf 16 Grad eingestellt. Wenn man aus der Dusche kam, dachte man, man wäre am Nordpol. Die Rezeption erhöhte die Temperatur auf meine Bitte. Am nächsten Abend war sie aber wieder auf 16 Grad, denke durch die Reinigungskraft.
N/A was not able to take the breakfast.
Noisy even before or after the quiet hours.
El personal super atento
La música está hasta pasadas las 12 de la noche
Pretty cool hostel with friendly stuffs. Very clean and the food is pretty delicious.
Only problem is the party noise at night. And also low pretty when it comes to the water in the bathroom.
Very spacious good with nice bathroom. Didnt use the pool but had food and drinks at the bar, which was good. Place is a bit hidden and transportation would be an advantage. Can't go wrong with Mad Monkey (if you don't mind noise and party), as they have pretty good standards.
Staff was highly accommodating and friendly. They invited me to the accommodation's free event which was really lively and fun - they offered free food and drinks.
The accomodation's location was far from the main highway/road which was about 3-5 minutes walk - on the good side it is known by the locals and tryc drivers which made it easy to locate.
Location and facilities
Motor rental is not available when we requested.
Place was clean and nice to hang out in. They have a pool and bar as well.
If I had to pick, wifi signal was not very good. The location is not far from the main road but you do have to take a trike or walk for a bit.
Value for money
None
We only stayed in the hostel for less than 24 hours. We had a private room but it was so spacious and clean. Really impressed with it as it was very modern.
Clean and the cocktails were good
a bit noisy at night
The staff is great. Helpfull.
Didn't do the promises of Apo Island I booked from the hostal.
The check-in girl. Aside from that, nothing because there was no internet at all.
There is no working internet at Mad Monkey. It is absolutely absurd.
A hostel with a chill vibe and nice staff.
For me the music during the day was too loud and the room temperature too cold.
The worse stay in my entire life
