Mad Monkey Siquijor

I went in september so it was low season and there was nobody there. But at high season it must be a great place to stay. I booked a private room which was nice. Staff is friendly

Even tho the staff tried their best my stay was not good. No water the first day so they gave me a bucket and a bottle of water to shower in. At 22.00 the WiFi disappeared and 23.00 my aircon startede to sound like a jet engine. I tried turning it down a bit but when I did that all power went out in my room. There was a frog nearby that sounded like somebody calling a landline phone every 10 seconds, not the mad monkeys fault since they are in the jungle, but it drove me insane. I got like one hour of sleep and decided to skip the last day and find another place. Also I think 130 pesos for a beer and same price for a water is a bit overpriced. In all fairness in high season this must be a great place for a great party, but despite the staff efforts this wasn’t my thing

The staff are absolutely incredible. Special shoutout to Daisy who goes above and beyond to make sure everyone is confortable and having the best time, a true gem! Rio and Clyde were also absolutely amazing. The pool is super fun and the food is great. Great fire pit and a good distance from every activity.

Nothing, will definitely be back

The staff we’re friendly, they let us get a full refund and cancel our stay in the spot so we could move elsewhere

The location is terrible, when we went nobody was staying there at all, we assumed getting shown to our private dorm would perk us up it didn’t ! The room was a hut bugs everywhere dirty bathroom food was rubbish the pool was green Don’t recommend

The pool and the resto with built in card games etc…

The pool as well, its kinda dirty and I’ve seen some insect in the water.

The volunteers there made the experience of the hostel so memorable. They were so welcoming and extremely friendly!

I struggled to have a warm shower, but other than that it was amazing!

People were lovely. Louise, honey, daisy and then the reps anton and Caitlin made me feel so welcome and were the main reason of having a great time

Showers and toilets are a bit dirty and is quite out the way from everything

Lovely place with amazing staff

The staff, specially daisy, 10/10. The facilities are great. Close to the tourist places to visit in the island

To far from town and similar, u need to move by scooter or tuc-tuc.

Unterkunft hat einen schönen Gemeinschaftsbereich. Ist nahe an dem großen Wasserfall gelegen.

Unterkunft liegt weit außerhalb von San Juan. Die Einrichtung ist in die Jahre gekommen. Matratzen der Betten sind stark durchgelegen und sollten dringend erneuert werden. Außerdem hat man keinen Handyempfang. Bei meinem Aufenthalt ist zusätzlich 48 Stunden lang das WLAN ausgefallen.

The pool is amazing, and it’s a very calm space at day. At night there’s a lot of going on, there are really good and inexpensive drinks. I really liked the food in restaurant. Beds were comfortable

It’s a bit far away from everything so a bikers a must. It was also far from the port so additional 500-800 peso need to be paid for oneway tuktuk trip (it’s around 40 min ride). The WiFi also wasn’t the best and there’s no signal to use my own data.

El tema del escándalo durante toda la noche, hasta las tantas, sin mediar ni indicar que bajaran la voz... No permitían dormir a nadie, una cosa es estar de fiesta pero que venga la gente borracha a las 4 de la mañana y nadie les indique bajen la voz es bochornoso cuando la gente está dormida

You can eat and drink on location.

Not all showers had warm water.

Staff very friendly, nice swimmingpool and big rooms

Location is far outside everything, bathrooms were disgustingly dirty and food is restaurant is crazy expensive

Propre, personnelle superbe

Le bruit personne irrespectueuse. L’eau froide.

El clima de Hostel es espectacular! Esto es gracias a quienes trabajan allí. Hicieron que nuestra estadía fuera súper práctica y cómoda. Además en un hermoso lugar para conocer gente nueva!

The staff was super friendly and helpful! The rooms are cleaning. We had a lot of fun ! Plus you can rent a scooter from them

The bathrooms are a little small

10/10 stay!!! Such a beautiful location, amazing staff who made me and my partner feel so comfortable and at home!! Met some amazing people and had such fun nights drinking with everyone!! Staff made us feel so welcome, taken care of, and made sure we were having a safe and fun time. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!! Special shout of to daisy, Joe and Stephen (you guys are amazing) plus the rest of the amazing staff!! Thank you

Nothing, had the best time

The staff is amazing, especially Daisy!! The hostel is close to the many great waterfalls and other touristy places.

The only problem was that it is quite far from the main towns and party places.

Piscine et restaurant très agréables bien que les prix soient un peu plus élevés que sur le reste de l'île. Staff dispo et sympa.

Lits qui grincent

We had a wonderful stay at Madmonkey Siquijor, where we met lots of great people. The rooms and bathrooms were very clean and well maintained. There are different activities every evening, so you never get bored. Special thanks go to the staff: Daisy, Hanily, Louise, Sushie, Renz, and Rio, who made our stay unforgettable.

Awesome stuff, awesome room

It was too quiet, although it was the end of low season.

Lo que más me gustó fue el personal!!! Son súper atentos y simpáticos, hacen que te integres rápido en Siquijor. Jollie y Daisy son las mejores!!!!🤩

La ubicación, depende de lo que busques está un poco lejos de San Juan, que es donde está todo.

El servicio, la estancia y la comida. Daysi, una de las trabajadores fue muy buena con nosotros. Nada más llegar nos recomendo sitios que podíamos visitar, incluso algún truco para Palito beach. También nos presentó a otro Español del hostal con el establecimos una buena conversación. Sobretodo que se preocuparon en todo momento en que hacer en nuestra estancia en Siquijor y disfrutar al máximo.

The vibe with the staff.

The timing of visiting the Island.

The pool and slide were great, the beds were lovely

Mad Monkey siquijor was clean with excellent facilities was a bit out of the way but could book a motorcycle through the hostel which made it extremely easy. The staff where some of the most friendly that I have come across from travelling 5 months. Especially Rio, Jollie and Daisy.

Heel sociaal hostel

De locatie was ver

Everyone was really welcoming and friendly. Especially the staff, they were really supportive.

Music was loud at night, but its expected at a party hostel.

If you like to party and connect with fellow travellers, this is the right spot for you (can be loud til late). Heaps of dogs around, bar and restaurant are good but a bit pricey. Haven't used the pool.

It's a bit far from everything. You definitely need a transport to go places. Far from the nice spots, bars and restaurants near the water.

The vibes are great.

I had an amazing stay at Mad Monkey Hostel in Siquijor! The atmosphere is super friendly and the vibe is perfect for meeting fellow travelers. The facilities were clean and comfortable, making it a great base to explore the island. A big shoutout to Daisy, who was incredibly kind and attentive throughout my stay. She made sure I had everything I needed and was always ready to help with a smile. If you’re planning a trip to Siquijor, I highly recommend staying here!

What i like about the property, of course the pool hehe

nothing on my mind at the moment.

I like the back generators and AC. I thought the toilets can be a little bit cleaner but wasn’t bad at all. Rio at the bar was very kind and gave me great tips on what to do around the island

I feel like they can work on organising more things for social events. And maybe write them on the walls so everyone knows what’s happening

We had an amazing time visiting Mad Monkey Siquijor and were well looked after, especially by Louise and Daisy who made our stay extra special! They were extremely helpful and welcoming, I would 100% recommend staying here. Thanks again, Lara, Kaia and Owen!

People of different nationalities

Nothing

Well uhmm, location is not so great. Too far from San Juan but pretty close to the falls and other places. There’s no restaurants close to the area. Takes 6 KM to get down the road since this is located uphill. Room for bunkbeds, I shall say that the beds are always clean. However, if you look underneath the bed. It’s all dirt and dust. So I had colds all the way through of my stay in there. They got 4 bathrooms for the bunk beds but no heater!!!! Party event everyday which is nice to have and mingle with everyone. A lot of parking space and a nice pool. And oh!!! Don’t forget that there’s hardly any signal in here. Most likely rely on their internet connection, otherwise, hopeless!

- No heater - squeaky noise for the bunk beds - squeaky noise of the door as well - you have to be so tired to fall asleep

Everything- the people, the cleanliness, the location, the food

Friendly staff On site restaurant Always clean

Squeaky bed frames Far from most places in Siquijor - fine if you hire a moped.

- The room was very spacious - The bed and sheets were clean - 2 towels were provided each - The pillow was my fave, super comfy - There’s a locker provided per guest - The CR was functional- with a bidet and a hot shower :) - The place has a great ambiance - The Pool was warm and flowing (my fave!) - Staffs were very accommodating - THE FOOD WAS SUPERB!! - Great for making new friends, everybody was friendly

- Water dispenser was located at the reception area, too far away from their resto, hope they can provide 1 in the resto - Breakfast was delicious but it took quite a long time to serve (more than 1 hour hehe) — serving was also big. Good value for money! 💰

The staff was very friendly and helped me with a lot of enquires.

I knew Mad Monkeys was a chain of hostels however I thought it was known for their social activities, not for having a full party until very late. I was actually very sick and did not had an option for a good rest. The beds are so noisy and the 24 bed dorm is just horrible. None of the guests are respectful. I wish I knew this in advance and I would not book at all.

This is definitely not located in a great area for solo travellers, too far from everything you are made to rent a motorbike because otherwise you can only stay in the hostel. They offer tours but it would be great if they actually did the tours I stayed 4 days and wanted to go on the waterfall tour etc so I didn’t have to rent a motorbike but they never went because no one else was signing up because the price is way to expensive as well, so for a solo traveler this is definitely not the place you want to stay.

Fun stay but far from the city.

Really nice staff, they are very friendly. Dan the manager is a very fun guy who is doing a very good job connecting people with all fun drinking games, excursions like snorkling on a powerboat and more! Rooms are clean and tidy. Overall had soo much fun staying at this hostel.

Beds are a bit squeaky, and bring earplugs if you value early sleeps.

Nice pool Good food

squeaky beds

It’s super cheap and has a good group of people if you’re travelling.

There were a few concerning things with this hostel. Firstly, the staff weren’t very friendly. We just came from the Mad Monkey in Bohol & this was a completely different experience, so we may have had higher expectations. The food wasn’t great either & there wasn’t many healthy options. They also had no water bottles available for a few days, so unless they had a spare cup or the restaurant was open, we didn’t have access to water, as the location meant there’s no shops locally. There was so many stray cats and dogs, that looked a bit skinny, they were consistently begging for food, which the restaurant staff said they didn’t feed or care for them, which probably led to this issue.

The events everynight makes it more engaging to guests

Add more variety or options to the menu

The bed was clean, the first towels we got were also clean. The restaurant was pretty good. Free drinking water.

Where to start.. -The private room is above the bar and has no sound isolation. So no silence at all for the entire day. You pay more but get less comfort. Weird. Way to expensive. -Private bathroom was dirty, poopstains in toilet, showergel dispenser was empty. -The matrass was to big for the bed -Room had a weird smell -Airco made us sick -Very far from everything (except waterfalls) -There were almost no people, so no party -When we asked for new towels we got really dirty ones back. Full of stains and hairs and smelled really bad. -We left a day earlier, nobody even cared or noticed.

Nothing.

Cleanliness was very poor; the room was located above the restaurant/bar, where very loud music was played until midnight.

The staff was extremely pleasant to be around and worked hard to create a wonderful vibe during games, regular service or just about anything. Considering it's far away from anything else, glad they were serving reasonably good food (could have priced it better though) Was good to have a convenience store right across the street despite being far from the popular places of the island

The listing on booking is extremely misleading. It just says "Single Bed in Dormitory" and "Bed in mixed Dormitory ". They have options of 4,6,8,12,14,26 Bed. I was alloted the 14 Bed and had no way to get it changed. So be careful when you book this. Considering it was 14 ppl in the room, the compromise on cleanliness should not surprise you The location is a bit away (15 kms or so) from the active area of the island

Its very good and also place is very clean the stuff are nice also

Its just the location a lil bit far from the main town but if you have a scooter doesn’t matter

Yummy food

Location

The personal was very nice. I would like to give thanks to Jollie, Venna and Sushi, they were very nice!

- free breakfast - amazing staff - towel

I don’t wanna sound dramatic but I would rather punch a cute puppy in the face that coming back to this hostel. The people that work there are really nice but the music is incredible loud until 1am and the rooms don’t have proper windows so you can hear everything. And the beds are so shitty that every time somebody moves, you hear it.

It was so nice, clean and fun. The staff especially nelson he’s fun guy. Lots of fun in mad monkey👀

Love the staff! Special mention to Nelson! He is such a vibe!

The location. I think it would be amazing if it would be in San Juan.

Everything. Amazing staff!

The staff are so friendly and kind, especially Julie and the other young girl with long hair who is usually at reception (didn't get her name), they are so helpful. The hostel has a swimming pool with a slide. You get a free welcome drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) that you can redeem at the bar. The dorm has air conditioning, large lockers, and every bed has its own light, power outlet, and curtain for privacy. Even though it was a 26-bed dorm, it didn't feel crowded because the room was so big and spacious. There is free drinking water available. The hostel can rent you a scooter/motorbike and they also offer tours. There are some cute, well-behaved dogs running around the property. Across the street from the hostel there are 2-3 very small mini stores where you can buy bread or instant noodles for a low price. Party atmosphere at the bar if that's what you're looking for.

There is no cell service and the wifi doesn't work at all. The location is far from everything unless you rent a motorbike. The swimming pool could have been a bit cleaner (there were many little dead bugs in the water). They play really loud music at the bar until late at night, at least when I was there on a Friday and Saturday night (didn't bother me much but keep it in mind if you're a light sleeper).

I really liked the drinks, food and exceptionally fast WiFi! Renz the barista was also really nice, he recommended and guided me to some locations for sightseeing.

Affordable room accom.

The food was way too expensive vs others such as Y Road near Cambugahay falls. When we take orders, just even making matcha frappe would take almost an hour to finish. Location is also a bit far too; far from San Juan *beaches*

Okay

The staff treated me poorly compared to my friend, who received higher-quality sugar and cream. I only got cheap sugar and cream, which felt unfair.

Very Affordable Accommodation

The other guests are very noisy, especially in midnight 'till 2 in the morning.

clean hostel with really good facilities. on site bar/restaurant and pool. lots of social activities.

beds are really squeaky in the dorms and very noisy every time anyone moves

Staff very friendly, they gave me a lot of suggestions for the next islands I was going. Very close to Cambugahay Falls, was able to rent a bike in the hostel for a good price, food in their restaurant there was good.

Very loud music until 1-2am (it's a party hostel, but it's way too loud in the rooms). Most of the time the wi-fi didn't work unless you were in the reception.

the staff is great, thank you Tako and Julia in particular

catering prices are exorbitant

Best people, service staff was soo kind and helpfull. Many activities, good food and of course amazing drinks 💪 it was a really very good time there. Best wishes!

Activities every night.

No control on people going in and out of the room.

It had a pool

It was far from everywhere and many km or miles from the beach
