Absolutely amazing stay at Mad Monkey Village. Very welcoming staff and nice common areas to hang around at. A big fan of the hammock by the pool and the tv room where you could watch what you wanted to on Netflix. The pillows here were also so nice and not flat like other hostels. Would definitely recommend to a friend.

I had a wonderful stay at this hostel! The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, the facilities were clean and comfortable, and everything was well-organized. A special thank you to Carmen and Javi at the reception — they were incredibly kind, helpful, and always had a smile on their faces. They went above and beyond to make my stay enjoyable, offering great tips and assistance whenever I needed it. I truly appreciate their warm hospitality and will definitely recommend this place to other travelers

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
