Had an incredible time at this mad monkey. It’s on the other side of the island away from the chaos near the pier. I saw the best sunset of my life here!! Special thanks to Linda for being so warm and welcoming during my trip, she ensured everyone was having a good time during my stay at the mad monkey :)
We had the most amazing time at Mad Monkey! The prices were so reasonable, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure that good times were shared by all. The highlight of my stay was without a doubt the snorkeling tour to neighboring islands Gili Meno and Gili Air, and our tour guides Linda and Billy were some of the best guides I’ve had for any excursion ever. They made sure that the vibes were high, and that everyone was safe and accounted for at all times. Linda and Billy, you guys ROCK! I will definitely be back to Mad Monkey Gili T 🤘🏼
Mad Monkey is a must when in Gili T! Cool vibes, good food, nice pool & super friendly staff. Linda and all the guys working there are the best, they will make your stay so much funnier! Pd: sunsets are beautiful from there!
I wish I could leave a separate review for the bar/restaurant as the food and service is pretty bad but the hostel is one of the best mad monkeys. Ordered breakfast and food there but it was disgusting.. even coffee was not fresh and they poured it from a syrup bottle. The yogurt from the place next door was 10x better than the smoothie bowls. First and last time we had food there during our week stay on the island. Otherwise, the hostel itself it great!! Right on the beach like the photos. It is located on the other side of the island about 35 mins walk from the harbour and the Main Street area..
One of my favourite mad monkeys I’ve stayed in. All the staff were so lovely. There’s loads to do there and everyone is super social. Only bad point is it’s quite far from the port to get to and from the main area of the night life but everyone in the hostel is in the same situation so isn’t really a problem.
Rooms are nice and clean. I like that there’s only 3 people to a room however curtains would have been nice. Location wise, it is right on the beach which is great however it is in the other side of the island to the port and the rest of the bars. Service was amazing, the staff are so lovely and helpful. Special shout out to Linda who made the stay extra enjoyable with her bubbly personality. They host events every night which is a great way to socialise and meet other travellers.
It was ok but I think we got unlucky. Our room didn’t reach the WiFi and our door got jammed twice so we were stuck inside for periods of time. The food is pretty good & the hostel organises lots of events, making it social. The major problem is the location - it’s on the other side of the island so it’s near nothing. If you want to go out it’s a 40 minute walk to the bars
There are many hotels and hostels in the area that are the same price as a private room here and they are waaaay NICER, better run, and cleaner. Customer service was stingy. People are socializing all over this island, there are tons of cools spots, so I wouldn't worry about missing out at the Mad Monkey.
Great rooms & facilities, amazing atmosphere, so much fun! Alpha was a great host, and a decent beer pong player. Food was also great, and the snorkeling tour was amazing. I highly recommend staying here
We stayed in a 3 bed dorm here which was great! Aircon worked perfect the whole time and the bathrooms were clean. Bar and pool on site. Only down side is that it’s on the quiet side of the island
Yeah! go for it, is super nice, fun, specially the crew, so fun and they really take care of you, always doing funny things and games, and parties! Definitely book with them the to the snorkeling to the nest, it is crowded, but it is worth it. The only thing is that I did the bike tour haha but I was the only one, so kinda boring, but still, the crew that came with me, super nice TOP TOP! Food was very good, specially the breakfast and the coconut.
It was our second stay at a mad monkey hostel and what can I say we are hooked. Loved the beds, the pool, the food, the music, the activities, the bathrooms and definitely the company. Especially Billy is a party animal and made our stay unforgettable with his dance moves, his good mood and his constant help with everything around the island. Totally loved our stay at mad monkey Gili T it was the perfect end for our travels.
Amazing place to stay! Far from the port but it's worth it! Staff were the best, rooms good and always a good vibe. Aufa and billy took us on a snorkelling trip and they made it amazing. 10/10 and would recommend to book through the hostel to make the trip perfect. It was so much fun!
Private bungalow was great with private outdoor bathroom & amazing aircon already on when we checked in.Great infinity pool with deep area you can jump into. Salt water so will sting eyes.Relax area with bar & tables for food. Some vegan options.Great events hosted by the hostel:- Beach Clean- Volleyball court- Family dinner night- Quizzes- Snorkelling tours- Sightseeing bike tours
The dorms and bathrooms are nice and clean. The A/C works great in the rooms. The staff is all so friendly and they make it a fun environment. Lots of activities are held to keep you busy. The food is amazing and the drinks are actually strong. Only downside is it’s on the other side of the island so it’s far (20 min bike ride) from all the bars and food places. Enjoyed my stay so much I might go back
The hostel is on the more quiet side of the island, which I think is great because you can go everywhere by bike within 10-15 minutes. I did the snorkeling tour with mad monkey twice and it was great! The staff is amazing! B is the best!
Super cool hostel. The stuff made you feel like a family member and they offer awesome activities like snorkeling. I really loved it there and would come everytime again.You have the beach right Infront of the hostel. You can also rent a bike and see the island in about 30minutes.
The best 5 days at Mad Monkey, Gili T! Unreal sunset and beach views, sociable party hostel and extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Shoutout to Bayu for always working extra hard to make sure my friends and I were happy and getting involved in the activities. He remembered all of our names and ensured we had the best stay. 100% recommend!
Wow! I had an incredible experience here, I watched so many sunsets and so many waves all sat in the same place looking out onto the sea. This place was out of this world mainly for the whole welcoming and family feel with events on every night. The atmosphere was incredible and hats of to Billy Highlander! This man amongst many of the staff made the experience just that little bit more special. Everyone always felt comfortable and open to new conversations and relationships! I have met so many amazing people from there whom of which some come from my home country. Definitely recommend the beds are so comfy and showers and toilet in one cubicle so very convenient. What are you doing if you’re not at Mad Monkey Gili T!? Recommend 100%
We stayed in mad monkey for 5 nights and would love to have stayed for 5 more. The atmosphere is amazing, the staff are so welcoming especially Billy who greeted us in Irish 🍀 the food is so tasty I recommend the chicken cashew. It’s a really social place with activities every day for everyone to enjoy. Also a special mention to Hardy for his lovely singing voice and Baby boy and Ary for the AMAZING snorkelling trip. We will definitely be back 🤩
Mad monkey is a super sick place to stay in Gili T! It was exactly what I was looking for in a hostel and will definitely be recommending it to my friends. The staff have really good energy, are friendly, kind, enthusiastic and do an incredible job cheating a fun environment for partying, socializing, and meeting new friends. They’re absolute homies. Ary was my favorite staff member, always had a smile on his face and was cool af.They host events every day (my favorite were snorkeling and the beer pong events) that are super fun and being everyone together. It’s also right next to the beach if you wanna have a chill day!I love how the dorm rooms only have 3 beds in them, you have room to store all your stuff with cabinets, and Air conditioning, super stoked on the air con.Stay here. I can’t recommend enough, super stoked on staying here
I had such a good time in this Hostel. The staff is super friendly, the rooms are perfect and the entertainment shows are amazing. I can absolutely recommend this hostel for a little party trip on Gili T
Well if you are heading out to GILLIE TRAWANGAN island located in the beautiful country of Indonesia this place is a must visit! I did not stay as a guest at the hotel but I did visit multiple nights to enjoy the surprisingly good food and drinks and great service from a very upbeat friendly staff. Multiple drinks on hand, Music and games a pool and all on site. People of all ages (18+) and multiple backgrounds from all over the world this place is simply put "A Good Time!". Clean facility, located on the less active part of the island which makes it a location second to none in the area. For those on a budget looking to meet new friends I highly recommend this place, and for those looking for a Friday night DJ with good vibes, food and great drinks at a very fair price look no further! Service was so good I had to get the names of the staff and give them all a shout for the excellent service and great vibes on the island so with that said BIG THANKS to the crew!1. Okta -bar supervisor2. Adriadi - bartender3. Nanda - bartender4. Agus - bartender5. Renhard - bartender6. Agus - bartender7. Wira - bartender8. Young Rudy - waiters9. Awan - waiter10. Zhen - waiter.What a solid team! Thanks again for making my Holiday one to remember!
Avoid if you can! I was told through maps chat I would be able to have food brought to my room as I've been ill and very faint and not been able to leave my room. There was nobody in my dorm to help me either. They said I was to contact them through WhatsApp or call if I couldn't get to the reception. I called both ways numerous times over a hour with no response. I then asked on here to help, which they said it was possible and someone should be with my shortly. Another half hour went by so I proceeded to the reception with no other option. I was told I couldn't have this taken to my room by the staff member at the till after i paid and i tried to sit and eat it there instead however the heat was making me very dizzy. I then ask the staff member at the reception if it can be taken to my room as I feel faint and I was told no. Eventually I was told I could when i showed the chat and went back to my room, when I received the smoothie bowl which I paid 30k for extra fruit (to cure my dehydration) there was no extra fruit. Its been a super unpleasant experience which I could have done without the hassle and extra costs. I was really not happy with the service provided so I checked out early.
The staff here is absolutely worst, rude to talk to.The check out time is at 11-30 but they will start chasing you to check out since 9 am.They advertise free drinking water till 10 am but when you ask for it, they say the offer is overThe food and drinks are just overpriced and there are tons of amazing options available in other placesYou could book a small hotel at this price and get great value for your money.Cons- Dirty- No drinking water- No breakfast- No locks in lockers- On the other part of the island- Overpriced food and drinks- Rude staff
The rooms, toilets and showers are very clean and good. The staff (especially Billy) were nice, but it didnt really feel like an hostel besides the party activities they organise. They charge a lot of money for just basic stuff like hot water or extra sauce, which is not common at a youth hostel. The drinks and food were also expensive. That kinda ruined the vibe of a real hostel because they focus too much on making money. Besides that was it a good place to stay at, but keep in mind that it is an expensive place.
Really good for a hostel however priced as a hotel. Also for a party place at the wrong side of the island. Pool is nice but salt water. Water refill costs 10k, come on. Plus for party people a little weird that you are explicitly forbidden to take guests from outside back to your room.
I’m probably in the minority with my opinion of this place but I feel like a few things could be changed to make it better.For starters the staff were seemingly very friendly and reasonable when we checked in, took us up to room after offering advice on snorkelling etc - all v helpful.It’s a shame the niceties ended when the rep crossed the threshold of our door who repeatedly made misogynistic comments about girls staying at the hostel.For starters, water is 10k for a refill of warm water from the big dispenser? I’d hope a company conscious of its plastic usage would incentivise refilling bottles, as a bottle of cold water is 5k from the mini mart 1 minute away? Seems daft in my opinion.Secondly, I ran into some problems at the family dinner which I paid for and then wasn’t able to attend as I was so ill in bed. My friends explained this to the team who categorically refused to give a refund - it was 120k which isn’t cheap. This left a bad taste in my mouth… and the food left an equally bad taste in my friend’s mouths (inadequate portion and generally bad considering it was £6!)The next day I waited 1 hour for a fruit plate…Overall I think this site could do with some general lessons in how to treat customers in order to bring it up to the standard of other mad monkeys I’ve stayed at - namely your Lombok Site!!
Stayed in many Hostels and this would have to be my favourite! Beautiful location, Amazing pool, lovely rooms.The best part were the staff… even if you can’t beat them in beer pong… love you B 🩷 if you are lucky enough to visit I hope you get to see B’s crocs.
Mad monkey was really a good place and a good experience. everything is super clean and it was very easy to get to know people here as they also have events happening everyday. what made it even better was the staff. super welcoming and they really take time to get to know everyone and made us feel like we were a little family. we were supposed to stay for 5 days but ended up extending everyday for 4 days more and still wanted to stay longer. see you again soon mad monkey;)
The staff completely made this trip for me, especially Billy. They all have such good energy and take the time and effort to get to know you and make your experience better. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. The bar has great vibes and there’s always something happening, it’s very easy to meet people here! The location is a bit far out but one of my favourite experiences was cycling around the island which I wouldn’t have done if I was on the other side. It’s nice and secluded so you can come home without being close to all the madness. The snorkel tour I went in with the hostel was so fun and the guide made sure we all seen turtles. Another shout out to Riska for making this day out so much fun! Overall I had the best time at this hostel and would definitely return!
I had the best experience at Mad monkey. Massive shout out to Billy and Dony who work there. They are so funny, helpful and hard working. I loved spending time at the hostel and laughing with the staff. The tents are INSANE and the facilities are incredibly well maintained. The showers/loos are constantly cleaned. The food is 10/10 and the events in the evening are so social and good to meet people. Once again, shout out to Dony and Billy. They make the hostel amazing!!!
Would definitely recommend this place, very clean & spacious rooms, friendly staff, great food at the bar and the facilities there like the pool, bar and volleyball Court were great way to meet people. Music was off by 10:30 every night which is great for a good night's sleep or you can go out if you wish. The only thing that needs work is the toilet/shower facilities, taps were always broken and leaking/not clean and the showers had awful water pressure but overall great place!
This hostel was great! The staff were a highlight, super friendly and always keen to help out with anything. Especially Billy! Such a legend, he made everyone feel right at home. The rooms and bathrooms are the tidiest I’ve seen in a hostel. Food at the hostel restaurant was delicious could happily eat breakfast, lunch and dinner there. I absolutely loved my time here, would stay again and recommend to others! Keep it up team 😊
My friend and I had such fun staying at this hostel.Met some great people!The staff are amazing, really welcoming! They know how to throw a party!! Shout out to Ary, and riska especially!Would highly recommend! Beach right opposite with beautiful sunset.Great atmosphere!The location is out the way from the main strip but you can get bikes so super easy!
I run many hostels and i strongly feel about this opinion; and have been following mad monkey's online presence for a few years, was quite excited to be there, finally came and had a sheer disappointment:1. For the price we paid, 800,000 for a night for a tent with shared bathroom it's totally not worth it.2. We were 2 people, and we didn't get 2 glasses of water for free, with a clear no even after we came sweating in bad heat. I was surprised to see the cold response from the staff for basic services like water.3. Food, they don't have a lot of menu and are located in a far away location from the main gilli market too and whatever is available, it's like over priced with the kind of services they have, dirty, uncleaned tables for hours.4. Fake warmth from the staff. It didn't feel authentic.5. It's known as a party hostel, which is not different from any other hostel, people are busy drinking on their own tables and no curation for social activities without money6. Even the beer pong is charged for 1,20,000, and they keep over selling all the time.7. A sheer disappointment for the price and over-all experiencePros:1. A beautiful sunset from the beach
This is a really great Mad Monkey, friendly and fun staff, nice clean air conditioned rooms, and many toilets. There's always something happening so it's easy to make friends, it's also right in the beach. The one downfall for some, would be that the location is on the other side of all the action. But in other ways, it could be nice to be able to escape to mad monkey to go to sleep. Over all 5 stars!
Staff was amazing, pretty much the only reason the stay was worthwhile. We stayed on a Saturday, and based on other reviews we expected more of a party vibe. However, the entire place was extremely dead, and everything was shut down at ten pm. People weren’t even allowed to go in the pool anymore (saltwater btw). The location is also extremely secluded, and definitely isn’t worth the bike ride. Save your money and just come for a little bit to hang out with the staff.
The vibe of the hostel is nice. The pool is saltwater unfortunately. They have a happy hour, but when I asked for three different cocktails for the price of two (the sign literally says "buy two, get three") they were to lazy to make three different ones, instead they actually give you the same cocktail three times, which doesn't really make sense to me, since other people also order other cocktails so they have to make different ones and the bar wasn't even busy so they would have had the time to make them, but they didn't care. Drinks were still okay though. Also the showers lack pressure and aren't really hot. We came back on a Saturday night and the hostel was already dead around 1pm. No party nothing. But now comes the annoying thing. The aircon and fan is so loud at night plus you can't turn off the light (see picture) so you can't really sleep good. Not being able to switch of the light is just annoying and switching it just changes the brightness, so no dark room at night. All in all 3 Stars makes it an okay experience. I think there's definitely more valuable hotels.
Really loved staying there. Wanted to stay for 2 nights but extended 3 more.It is not located in the party area which is nice because it’s calm and you can just rent a bike and go everywhere in 15 minutes.Its also perfect if you are traveling alone, staff there is amazing and will help you with anything and will always be so polite & friendly. They organise parties and really take care of their customers.Thank you!
I highly recommend this hostel. Very friendly staff who will make you feel home instantly. Especially Andy is an amazing guy.We stayed 3 nights in a 3 bed dorm with airco which was perfect. Also the food is really good. Sometimes the music is a bit loud, but that’s why we came to Mad Monkey anyway. 100% would come back!
5 stars, because the hostel is what it's marketed to be: a party hostel. I stayed in room with 3 beds and it was quite comfortable. There are plenty of showers and toilets for everyone to use. There was always hot water except for Friday night, when there was NO water at all for about half an hour. Not a big deal but it annoyed me a bit at the moment. I met great people in this hostel and the party atmosphere was on point at any point of the day.However, the wifi didn't work in the rooms, only in the bar area 🙃I guess that's fine if you only want to party, but for me as a digital nomad, it was very annoying. The staff tried to help me figure it out, but at the end suggested that I go to a café somewhere and work from there. They denied to give me a compensation for the money I would spend on a beverage while I'm there. The bar area has loud music playing constantly so working from there was not an option either. Consider this of you need to work while at this hostel.Another thing to consider is that the hostel is on the "wrong" side of the island if you want to go partying and clubbing.Every Friday they organize a foam party which was so much fun!Overall I had a pleasant stay and the staff was very friendly.
I had a great weekend at Mad Monkey in Gili T. I stayed in one of the TeePees and it was pretty cool! The whole vibe of the hostel made me feel like I was at a beach club with the pool, beach and DJ. The food is great and affordable with a great happy hour! The location is right in front of the beach but you'll probably want some water shoes if you want to get in the water when the tide is high. It’s in a great location on the sunset side of the island but it's not near the boat harbor. You’ll need to get one of the TukTuks to take you to the hostel, you can’t walk. Once at the hostel you can rent a bicycle to ride around the island. Overall, I had a great time and would definitely return!
Good food, personnel speaks very good English, nice vibe!However, when I asked for an espresso, the bar tender tried to serve me a coffee previously left in the machine, by sneakily adding a little shot to make it hot. It happens that for some reason I noticed the cup and watched the bar tender! Good job.
Amazing hostel the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room was lovely, the place was very clean and kept up to standard. Andi and Buddy were particularly welcoming and made our stay very special. They were both very friendly and constantly made sure we were having fun and recommended the best places to go out which was very helpful. Couldn’t recommend the place more.
A great place to stay on your trip to Gili t! Made lots of friends, great location and staff were so accomodating and kind. Made you feel at home!! Would definitely come back.
Such a great hostel would definitely recommend staying here on the island! The staff are all so welcoming and bring a great atmosphere! Perfect location and the food is amazing you could eat there every day. Shout out to budiman for the great vibes and energy you bring to work everyday! :)
The staff here are so friendly! It was a cool mix between chill & party vibes. The pool / bar area is great for lounging in the sun, drinking, eating & chilling in the pool. The tents & bathrooms were clean and well maintained. Pretty cool hostel experience overall.We did the snorkeling tour with Mad Monkey & it was one of the best experiences we had in Gili T! Andi & the boat crew were so fun but made sure we were all safe which was good!
I love Mad Monkey Gili T. The best hostel and definitely the hostel I’ve stayed at the longest. Initially planned to stay for just 2-3 nights, but ended up staying for almost 1.5 week, all because of the amazing vibe to meet people, great party atmosphere and with its location on the best spot to watch the sunset. The staff is absolutely great and go the extra mile. Andi, Devi and Kiki are so nice and especially Budi who gets everyone in an enthusiastic mood and made sure everyone had a great time. It’s located on the other side of the island, but it’s definitely worth the nice bike ride there. If you like a good party I would 100% recommend this place. Rrrrrrr
Great pool party that have free shots on the hour and 3 for 2 cocktail hour.Dj playing yesterday was amazing.Tuna sashimi poke bowl and the wedges were delicious.
I had such a good time in Mad Monkey.Met so many great people and made friends for life.The staff is the best with my brother Budi being the greatest solo entertainer I have ever met. He always makes you laugh, a real mad monkey.If you're looking for some peace and quiet you should probably steer clear of this place.But if you're looking for lots of fun, party and are willing to #jointhemadness, then this is the place to be! 🐒
Mad Monkey is by far the best hostel on Gili T. Special shout out to the team. Devi is the happiest person I have ever met and Kiki is so lovely. Budi is always fun to be around getting everyone involved in beer pong, drinking games, quiz nights and dancing. It is the perfect place for solo travellers as it’s so social. Andy is a credit to the team as well. I can’t recommend this place enough.
I meet wonderful people in this place and nice staff. They were so helpful, kind and fun.Especially Budi Mentos, the soul and the energy of this place , he was a very nice guy and barmen Abi, he is also so kind and nice guy.I will definitely go to Mad Monkey again!
Our stay in Mad Monkey was amazing, all the staff were incredibly friendly especially Budi who went above and beyond to make sure we were always having a great time. Great games and parties were thrown throughout our stay would highly recommend for anyone to join the madness if in Gili T!!
Mad Monkeys was one of the best places I stayed in Bali!! Such great vibes, nice pool, chill area, right off the beach, the rooms are awesome (only 3 beds in each- none of that bunk bed rubbish) spacious and air con.!!The staff was amazing, always getting everyone involved in activities. Shoutout to Andy for our bicycle and snorkeling tour, was so much fun. Thanks to the boss Steve for everything! The other staff also- thanks for always being so cheerful and happy. Miss u allGreat place and epic party on the Saturdays!! 10/10
Completely destroying the peaceful vibes of the area with absolutely overtuned music. All neighboring villas and resort have to listen to this trunkard music. Super sad. (Edit: I stayed at villa gili bali directly next to Mad Monkey)
Music way too loud. I stay in Villa Gili Bali 100 Meters from Mad Monkey and had to listen to this drunken people party music and screaming from 11am - 11pm. Really bad for this beautiful quiet area. They should move to the harbour area…
Very social hostel, Party every night I think but it’s very expensive to stay here so you could get a hostel near the harbor and then go there by bike, it’s probably only 7min ride.
Completely destroying the peaceful vibes of the area with absolutely overtuned music. All neighboring villas and resort have to listen to this trunkard music. Super sad.
Had the best time at Mad Monkey! 24/7 good vibes and the best parties! The staff is also very lovely and fun to be with. They make sure you’re having the best time possible! Ps. Make sure you beat Andi in beerpong
Great atmosphere, good cheap food, nice pool and beach volleyball. Andi was a great host. Only downside was no AC in our tent so it was unbearably hot also location was a bit far from main strip.
One of the best hostels i have ever stayed is (considering having travelled all over Europe).The vibe is amazing and the staff tries their best to engage people in various activities and ensures everyone has a good time. If you want to meet new people and have a great time definitely stay here.Unfortunately was here only for one night.Will definitely stay with them again next time I visit Gili T.
Great facilities that were very clean. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Pricing is also very reasonable. ALSO, THEY HAVE KITTENS!The only downside is that its location is on the other side of the island from the port, clubs, and restaurants.Overall, would highly recommend!
Fun hostel on Gili T. It’s on the opposite side of the island from the main bars & restaurants, & is a long hot walk into town to get food or drinks - that’s the only con of this place. Amazing staff & great vibes all day long. Great happy hour deals, & yummy food!
Great Hostel. Very friendly staff, the menu was a reasonable price and tasty. The pool is amazing and the rooms have good air con. They have some events on during the week which are fun. The only downside is the the location but if you are happy to walk then there is nothing to worry about.
If you want a party and if you want to meet people - Mad MonkeyIf you want to have an awesome time and enjoy the beautiful views - Mad MonkeyIf you’re an antisocial person and just want to be alone - probably still Mad Monkey.We all loved our stay here at Mad Monkey in Gili T and I would definitely go back here soon!An extraordinarily thanks to Sofie and Sam for making my stay amazing. Great people and fantastic vibes because of these two stunning reps!!- Robin
