Staff A+ ”
Mad Monkey is a great place to stay in Cebu! The staff and management are super friendly, the food is excellent with ample vegetarian options (the tofu sisig is ace). I stayed in a private standard room and it's basic, clean, and comfortable. Within walking distance to ATMs (although when I left they were getting their own in-house atm set up) and shops. There's always some games up at the bar and pool area. They book tours with locally run companies and I would highly recommend the canyoneering. Very safe and the lunch provided by Toto and Maria was delicious, provided on their picturesque property. The taxi drivers were very professional - download a translation app as some of the drivers’ English is so-so (which is totally fine, it’s important to support locals. They also had language apps on their phone). Thank you to all the staff who work hard to make your stay memorable.

혼자 및 친구끼리 여행할때 가볼만한 호스텔”
직원들도 친절하고 재밌었어요. 음식도 전 만족했네용 또 방 가격이 저렴한데 상태도 양호했고 에어컨도 잘 작동해서 좋았어요. 수압은 약해서 씻는데 시간이 조금 걸릴수도 있어요. (필리핀이니깐 이해가능) 그리고 4일동안 머무를 계획이었는데 보홀 일정을 줄여서까지 하루 더 머물렀어요! Bar에 가면 정해진 시간마다 프리 샷도 줍니다!! 그리고 외국인들이 많이 오는 호스텔인 걸 알고 계세요 :) 외국인들 텐션이 좋아서 전 너무 재밌게 지냈네요ㅋㅋㅌ 우리 Jay, Maan, Maria 한국가면 많이 생각 날 거같아요 ㅠㅜ The staff were kind and fun. The food was good and the room price was low, but the room was in good condition and the air conditioner was working well. The water pressure is weak, so it may take some time to wash. I planned to stay for four days, but I cut down on Bohol's schedule and stayed one more day.When you go to the bar, you can get free shots every set time! And know it's a hostel with a lot of foreigners coming :) foreigners were so funny I had a lot of fun. Jay, Maan, Maria. I think I'll think of you a lot when I go back to Korea

5-Day Stay at Mad Monkey's”
Good points: * Staff are friendly and accommodating - they even attended to my other requests such as borrowing phone charger and sim slot opener. * Common places are regularly cleaned. * Rooftop bar is very lively. * The 8-bed shared room i stayed in was big enough. I didn't feel we were cramped in. For improvements: * Shower in room 206 had very weak pressure. Realised on my last day that it was leaking thats why there's less water coming out. * Suggest having shower curtain to avoid getting the whole restroom floor wet when someone showers. * Ensure to put foot rag outside the restroom so people wouldnt be walking around the room with wet feet/slippers. * Put wifi extension in cafe. The receptionist told me wifi can reach the cafe but when i went, wifi can only be accessed when you're sitting on the first table from the entrance. * Wifi connection is weak as well when you are inside the room. * Automate or ensure to tell all guests to always lock the door. There's people coming in who aren't checked in because of the roodtop bar and the rooms are very accessible to them. Some guests dont have a habit of locking the door always.

Staff are immensely welcoming! I like their new welcome drinks and get together thing! I hope all MM’s are like that 😍😍 Visited the place for the festival and Amor and Tin were all so patient and kind accompanying us on the festival! They made sure no one is left alone (unless he/she took a grab!) 😂😂😂 Love the place, the vibe and the FREE SHOTS! .

Budget-friendly Hostel for First-time Travellers ”
The staffs were friendly and accommodating. They explained the house rules thoroughly and the guard offered to help me carry my luggage to my room. There is a deposit of Php 100.00 for the key, but it will be returned after you checkout. The room I stayed in was clean and the beds were neat. The bunk beds are spacious and smells great! There are also lockers provided inside the room. Wash area has bidet and toilet paper. Shower has hot water heater option. Though the air-conditioning unit was blasting cold, it can be adjusted according to your preference. I had a great night sleep and would definitely come back to stay once I visit Cebu! Thank you so much Mad Monkey Hostel.

We had an amazing stay at Mad Monkey. The place is clean and the bed is comfy. The rooftop is really a plus. Very accommodating staff most especially Maria, we were so shy at first but when she approached us it made us comfortable with the place and ended up staying whole night at the rooftop bar when we’re supposed to go out that night. Thank you Maria! Definitely will be back and recommend this place.

I have stayed twice at the Mad Monkey Hostel and both my experiences have been great. The vibe in the rooftop bar is amazing, and all staff, like Cristian, really make an effort to make one feel comfortable interacting with other guests and having a great time!

The best party hostel in the city. Mad monkey has a welcome drink getting to know other people who stays in the hostel. Christian was so good explaining every rules of the hostel and give tours and packages that we can avail. Also, Christian did introduce their signature drink which is Sinulog Slam and it's so cool because one drink counts as 1 point for your country. I always had fun staying here and making new friends from different countries. 💯 best party hostel.

2 night stay”
Mad Monkey is an awesome hostel. The location is good but the staff are awesome. Christian and Maria go absolutely next level to ensure that guests have the best time. The rooftop is sick as well (with large screens showing the football). The rooms do the job and provide a great sleep. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in Cebu.

Best place to stay in Cebu!”
Solo traveler, booked a private room, clean and comfortable. The staff are all friendly and enjoyed the hosting by Christian and Maria who made me feel very comfortable and introduced me to other guests. Good food at the rooftop bar. Will be staying at again when I'm in Cebu.

Mad Monkey is one of the best place to stay in Cebu. We stayed for 8 days and all I can say about our stay is Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! They welcomed us wholeheartedly and very warm. The staffs were very accommodating and polite. On our first day, they gave us free drinks and also were given a chance to meet new people from different places. As for the room, it’s very spacious and you will really have a very good sleep. So all in all! Mad Monkey Cebu is the best!

Shots Anyone???”
I had a great time meeting new people at the hostel. Jay and Maria, the workers, are extraordinary people. They were a lot of joy to be around and have simple conversations. They certainly have a talent for keeping the fun going. I'm certain I'll be back! One thing please fix the bottoms of the beds in the private rooms. One little move on the bed scratches the floor and makes a loud sound. PS thank you Jay for making this trip memorable,. Hope to see you soon!

Perfect for a great backpacker experience”
Kudos to all the friendliest staff for creating a comftable vibe for all local and foreign guests. Such a great safe space to interact with anyone, and just the right place for an accessible city spot. Dorm rooms and the rooftop bar with pool also adds to that all-in-one place for travellers, not to mention these night games, day tours and free drinks! Will definitely be back for the whole great experience again 💯

Mad Monkey in Cebu is so good!”
We really loved mad monkey! The bar upstairs and all the events were really fun! However, the best part about our stay at Madmonkey was most definitely Christian! He was such an amazing and kind host! Christian made us feel so welcomed and his vibes were immaculate✨Will definitely be back and try other mad monkeys! Not one second we were bored, there was always something to do and it was fun to make friends with other guests and the hosts! Thank you so much for being so accommodating! 🤍
