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 (self-inflicted) problem on arrival, and the level of hospitality of the staff to sort this out was overwhelming. Thanks! Everything else was fine. The room was excellent (cleanliness, temperature, comfort). The outdoor dining area and the food were great. I had several meals, and spent a lot of time there. The area is nicely set up to meet fellow travellers. The frequent shuttle bus into the town Centre is great, and I used it multiple times. I can thoroughly recommend the Summer House.

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.
