Siargao was my favorite island that I visited during my month-long trip in the Philippines, and a big part of the reason why is because of my experience with Mad Monkey Siargao. So glad I decided to stay here! I was only going to stay a couple days, but ended up extending to nearly a week because I enjoyed it so much. MM Siargao was a one-stop shop for everything I wanted: lodging, food, nightlife/partying, and tours (all of which I enjoyed so much). But what really made my stay with MM Siargao special was the people, and not just my fellow travelers/tourists, but the staff in particular. It was because of Jonathan, RJ, and Christian that I had so much fun in Siargao. Between the MM bar, MM tours, and other nightlife locations… I can’t imagine I would have had as much fun as I did if they were not there. Additionally, RJ and Jonathan provided me with so much helpful information and advice throughout my week-long stay at MM Siargao. Rocky and his crew at the front desk were phenomenal also… always polite and professional, and always accommodated my questions and requests. Pam was super helpful with booking my motorbike for the week and the amazing island hopping tour (one of my favorite boat tours out of the many I’ve done in the Philippines… big shout out to the boat captain Jun!). I highly recommend this hostel. I will definitely be back in the future!

my stay at Mad Monkey Siargao is always one of the highlights. It's very easy to socialize and make friends with people. Every night there are fun activities to do and they always add sizzle to it. Boat party tour is a must and will make your island hopping to the next level. Christian, Jonathan, and Rj are absolute legends; such good vibes and pure souls. Will def go back for more.

I joined an island hopping tour organised by Mad Monkey and had an absolute blast! Lovely people, lovely service and overall great experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking to connect with other travellers. Our host Christian was excellent and so much fun, we even went out for dinner together after the trip!:)

I had an amazing time here, it was the best hostel I have ever been to. The different programs each evening of the week make it super easy to meet new wonderful people. You can book many activities directly at the reception, like renting your own bike or the island hopping, which I also highly recommend. The owner Jack and the staff are super helpful and will make sure you will have a fun time there. Lola is also one of the cutest dogs I have ever seen. The rooms were also good, each bed had its own fan, the bed was big and the little walls gave you at least some privacy. But for my experience, I didn’t need too much privacy as I have always shared my dorm with amazing people during the week. Thank you for everything, the time with you has been sensational.

I stayed at Mad Monkey Siargao for 8 nights and I couldn’t have had a better time! Jack, Von and the staff were incredible; they made us feel so welcome and gave us loads of advice on what to do during our time on the Island! I wish I could rate them 10 stars as it’s hands down the best hostel I’ve ever been to! Room was great, the bar was great and the events were great! I will definitely be going back!

We stayed at Siargao for a week. Honestly, it was the best place we've stayed in the Philippines.Mad Monkey offers a welcome drink and 30 minute open bar to all it's guests but this one does a lot more especially with Jack as your host. He gives you tips for the island and makes every night exciting with its own theme. Location is amazing as well really close to Cloud 9 and getting into General Luna is easy.

I had a great time at Mad Monkey, super friendly staff & Jack was an incredible evening entertainment host. He made sure you felt super welcomed & was always on hand if you needed anything. The hostels are clean & nice big beds. Really tasty food & good mango shakes. 5-10 from the town centre by trike & 10mins walk to cloud 9. Overall a great stay in a lovely hostel

Everything here was ran really well. Comfortable beds and rooms and bathrooms were cleaned daily. The restaurant was great. And most of all the funniest place to start a night in Siargao. A themed party every evening and got to meet so many people from all around the world. Awesome staff as well. Walking distance to Cloud 9 if you come for the surf.

Never would I have imagined that traveling alone for the very first time in Siargao could be this memorable and fulfilling. Especially when fate brought me to have stayed in Mad Monkey. If you want a place where you would want to socialize with other travellers, definitely Mad Monkey is on the top of the list. I have met amazing kind of people during my stay in Mad Monkey. I never thought that my solo travel will lead me to finding a new Family bonded by love, inclusivity and respect. To my Istetiks family, thank you everyone for making me feel that I should not be left behind. Thank you for the random getaway and ofcourse the memories we shared. 😂To Mad Monkey coordinators and managers ; special mention to Jack, Josh, Kian and Addie, thank you guys for the warm welcome and for always being there to cater our needs and always extending your help. I’ll surely go back here in MM IAO. I will miss the free drinks, the bar-hopping crowds, mind-boggling games and activities in MM!!! You really are doing a good job in making your guests happy and for bringing enthusiasm to each and everyone.To Bar and kitchen staff, Via, Shiela, Emily, Elisa, Jaime, Rose, Richard, Rex, Chef Bert, Luchie and to all Mad Monkey staff, thank you for your excellent service and of course for preparing mouth-watering foods and drinks.I will definitely go back to this place, to live, to love, and to laugh. All the best guys!!!-Yek

The staff was very accommodating, the guests were a lot of fun, and the experience was amazing.I want to thank Steven and Nitz at the reception for catering to my needs with kindness and patience.

Great place for solo travelers. clean rooms and huge beds with fresh linen. The bar is always very cold beer, which was important for me 🙂 All the staff are friendly and welcoming! I was very surprised that they knew my name and called me by name. It is very nice! Special thanks to Manuel and Brandon for the excellent atmosphere, where each guest feels welcome, these guys will support any conversation and will not make you bored, as well as always follow everyone so that everyone is involved in the party. Staying in a mad monkey, it means to have fun! Thanks everyone!

The dorms are clean the tours are fun and reasonably priced and the people here are so so lovely. The staff are some of the nicest people I've ever met and the general atmosphere around the hostel is incredible. I stayed for nearly 3 weeks in the end and still wasn't ready to leave, would recommend to anyone. Matt was an angel the entire time making sure every person felt welcome and comfortable and going above and beyond to make sure everybody enjoyed their time. Can't wait to come back

Amazing hostel!! Stayed here for 15 night, and would’ve stayed more!!!Great 6 beds dormitory, the beds were big and comfy, the air conditioner worked great. Both rooms and toilets are cleaned all the time and really tidy.Now move on to the staff. Both reception and bar staff are the best!!! Nicest people I met in the Philippines, always smiling and caring, after two weeks they became like a family to me ♥️Special thanks to the reps Matt, Richard and Riza thanks to them every night, end every day as well actually were a party. I’m a solo traveler and in the mad Monkey I haven’t felt alone not even for a minute.BTW Matt you’re a one hell of a drinker, maybe next time Israel would win 🤷🏼‍♀️

Meet Matt; Matt is a friendly guy from Manchester. Matt is 28 years old and works in Mad Monkey as a rep. Matt is more than a rep. Matt likes dogs and loves his hat. Don’t mess with Matt’s hat. Matt is very nice to the local people and tries to support them in any way possible. If you play him at beer pong it won’t take long. Matt will take you and your friends on a night out and make the most of it. If you ask nicely he will show you around the island and tell you where to get the best nachos. Matt likes nachos. This was my get to know Matt review. Hope you enjoy your stay at Matt Monkey. See ya.

The restaurant has a specific and nice ambience and good food. This Mad Monkey is definitely by far my favorite because it is really chill and has the Siargao vibes. It's also really sociable, and it's very susceptible to making new friends and connections. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, Riza was a ray of sunshine, She just lights up the room and makes you feel really comfortable. I highly recommend this Mad Monkey to anyone visiting Siargao. Great place, food and people! xx
