The Funky Monkey Hostel - 18 to 40 years old only

Stayed here for two nights and woke up with around 15 bites after the first night, mostly on my legs, arms, and hips. I had been in Phuket for about five days before arriving and had zero bites, so this started after staying here. The bites looked very consistent with bed bug bites, so I recommend the property check the mattress and bedding carefully as something in the room did not seem right. The location was not very convenient during my stay because the Full Moon period was not on, so the area felt quite empty. The setup of the bathroom was also unusual, with the shower attached to the toilet and no real separation, and the toilet/shower area connected directly to the dorm with only a curtain dividing it, which did not feel very clean or private. The room was also very dark, and even around 9am it was hard to tell it was daylight outside, which made it easy to oversleep. There was not much atmosphere or schedule during my stay, so overall the vibe felt quite bland.
