BarbaraSIThe staff were really lovely, friendly and helpful, which I really appreciated.
However, personally, this hostel was not for me. It is a very party-focused hostel, with loud music and noise continuing late into the…
FranciscoArgentinaCouldn't sleep well any of the 3 days there
Nice facilities, great pool, everything was very clean.
Extremely noisy, loud, parties everyday 'till late.
ReaHungaryThe staff was nice
The worse hostel experience we ever had. The small room smelled like feet and sweat, trash on the floor, dirty bathroom. People absolutely disrespectful, loud and partying until 3-4am. Never again.

Questions about Mad Monkey Jungle
What time is check-in and check-out at Mad Monkey Jungle?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Mad Monkey Jungle allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Does Mad Monkey Jungle have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Does Mad Monkey Jungle have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Mad Monkey Jungle have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at Mad Monkey Jungle?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 2:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book Mad Monkey Jungle?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
