Pésimo, no lo recomiendo para nada. Nuestras camas tenían chinches y estaban manchadas con sangre, quedamos con picaduras por todo el cuerpo. Al personal no le importó ni nos ayudo. Además la comida muy mala, cafe asqueroso. No volvería.

Checked out after 1 night, woke up to bed bug bites, what I would describe as a building site on the other side of our door waking us up at 9am, they make their guests charge for water refill and don’t even include a towel, you have to pay extra. Dont seem to care about their guests just take your money.

Location is far from the port need to take horse cart to reach there and the location is secluded. We stayed for 2 nights (1 foam party night and a Saturday). The staff was not welcoming and it felt like it was only with Indians otherwise the staff was very friendly with others. Also found bed bugs in the room. Foam party over here is hyped. We took 4 superior beds with sea view, however we only got 3 beds with beach view but other was far behind inside. Washrooms were good. Not recommended to teetotalers

Don't go here unless you're under 20 years old. You can't really meet people or socialize here. The place is full of kids who come in their groups. The toilets are not clean, the pool is nasty, the food is overpriced and their events are non existent. They had a foam party and I was the only person in the pool. On top of that my room was full of mosquitos and bed bugs.

BEDBUGS! Do yourself a favor and don’t stay here. Discovered bed bugs my first night and promptly left. My room mate who stayed behind had all kinds of bites from the first night. Also, it’s on the wrong side of the island for spending time in the water, and far from most decent bars and clubs.

Vibe Analysis
Mad Monkey Gili Trawangan is a social, party-heavy hostel on the quieter side of Gili Trawangan, close to the beach and sunset views. It has a pool, bar, volleyball, beer pong, foam parties, and organized activities. Room quality varies. Dorms and private options exist, but the tent and safari rooms can be tiny, hot, and noisy. Bathrooms and showers can be rough around the edges, and Wi-Fi can be unreliable. The food and drinks are mixed but usable, and the place can feel very lively. The tradeoff is noise: music, games, and events can run late, and the walk or bike ride to the harbor side takes time.
Signals to check
- It is far from the harbor and the busier nightlife strip.
- Music, games, and events can be loud late into the night.
- Tent and safari rooms can be cramped, hot, and noisy.
- Bathrooms and showers can be rough around the edges.
- Wi-Fi can be unreliable, and lockers may need a separate lock.
