Had a good time at MM,VV. But the ‘reps’ did not rep at all, they was playing pool 24/7 not allowing guests to use it unless you buy them a beer, or drinking their beer towers all day. Pool and bar area had so much potential to do successful evening drinking games/quizzes! Rooms & bathrooms where nice but our room had an awful sewage smell & bugs over the sleeping areas (not bed bugs, just little spiders & creepy crawlers) Some of the receptionists were really helpful!

I stayed at Mad Monkey Vang Vieng and unfortunately found bed bugs in my room. I let reception know and while the staff were friendly, they denied there were any bed bugs and said I could speak to the manager in the morning. When I followed up, I was told he wasn’t available. I was already planning to leave the next day, but it still made for an uncomfortable last night. They did refund me for one night, which I appreciated, but I think the situation could have been handled a bit more seriously. Overall, a disappointing end to an otherwise fun stay.

Very disappointed while staying here. There was a service charge added onto the prices at the bar for food and drinks as well as the prices being in dollars which made it quite difficult and confusing as well as unfair considering we already paid for the hostel itself. We were told we had a free drink but when we asked for it got told told completely different times. I tried a meal one evening of pasta Alfredo. It was watery, the pasta was undercooked and the chicken was tasteless and grey. The room itself is okay but cleanliness wise since we arrived the toilets and sinks havent been properly cleaned and we heard reports of bed bug infestations in other people's room. I am very upset as I previously stayed at the mad monkey in hoi an and it was a wonderful experience. Very let down and disappointed in general with my experience here at this hostel

Dorm 6 infested with ants and one girls bed had bed bugs so beware! Could be avoided with proper house keeping.... Don't clean under the beds at all

Good social vibe, which is definitely what you want in Vang Vieng. I felt really safe as a solo female traveler. That said, I experienced both an ant infestation and a bedbug crisis within 24 hours of arriving, and the staff didn’t really have a procedure for dealing with the bugs — they just changed the sheets and gave us free beer to compensate. Overall I’d say it’s worth it for the social life, but maybe bring a sleeping bag liner or sheets lol

Analyse de l'ambiance
La zone piscine-bar est le moteur social ici : vues sur les montagnes, bar animé, activités chaque soir, pub crawls, karaoké, quiz, jeux de cartes, deals cocktails et soirées ponctuelles comme Kings Day ou St Patrick's Day. La piscine peut avoir un filet de volley, et l'ensemble penche clairement fun-first plutôt que quiet-first. Mad Monkey Vang Vieng fonctionne surtout pour les backpackers solo qui veulent entrer facilement dans un groupe. Les reps et la réception font une grosse partie de l'expérience, avec Emie, Toukta, Will, Liam, Harlie, Savanna, Mason et d'autres associés à une atmosphère accueillante où tout le monde est entraîné dans le mouvement. Il y a aussi un desk voyage pour tours, transports, montgolfières, tubing, location de moto et recommandations locales. Les chambres sont variables mais souvent pratiques : lits confortables, casiers, prises, salles de bain spacieuses dans certains dortoirs et assez de douches dans les meilleures configurations. L'auberge est généralement assez proche à pied des rues principales, tout en restant un peu à l'écart de la bande la plus bruyante. Nourriture et boissons sont disponibles sur place, même si les prix peuvent sembler élevés pour Vang Vieng.
Signaux à vérifier
- C'est une auberge de fête, et le bruit peut durer tard au bar, dans les espaces communs et dans les dortoirs.
- La propreté des dortoirs est irrégulière, avec des problèmes récurrents de sols sales, draps tachés, insectes ou fourmis, et odeurs d'égout dans les salles de bain.
- Tours, transports, nourriture, boissons, serviettes et recharges d'eau peuvent coûter plus cher que les options proches.
- Les chambres privées peuvent être aux étages supérieurs sans ascenseur, et certaines chambres peuvent sembler étroites ou faibles côté climatisation.
- Il existe des plaintes sérieuses de service et de sécurité autour d'objets manquants, casiers, erreurs de réservation et aide au transport.
