A legit hostel in the middle of cairns. Friendly staff and a great mix of people. It could be hard to meet people as there were lots of long term residents, but everyone was friendly and willing to chat! Kitchen is huge although some of the hobs need fixing. I had a private room which was really comfy. There aren’t many parking spots but if you can snag one it’s incredibly convenient. Would stay again super fun.

Ik heb echt een top tijd gehad bij Mad Monkey Village in Cairns! Het hostel heeft een super gezellige en sociale sfeer, waardoor je heel makkelijk andere reizigers ontmoet. Er worden gedurende de week veel leuke activiteiten georganiseerd, dus er is altijd wel iets te doen. De faciliteiten zijn ook heel goed: een fijn zwembad om te relaxen, een goede keuken en ontbijt in de ochtend. Er wordt vaak schoongemaakt, wat het verblijf extra prettig maakt. Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam!

Nothing like the pictures- very run down and shabby. Showers leaking and broken.and always dirty morning and evening. Rooms very noisy with people talking in the kitchen. Main common area is basically the kitchen so smells and is always busy but not really sociable. A good 15-20 min walk from central cairns and did not feel safe walking back at night alone. Ended up leaving early and they did not give refund despite me giving them >24hrs notice as per their booking policy.

Great hostel, really comfy beds & all the facilities clean. Loads of long termers there though that are very cliquey so I wouldn’t recommend for a solo traveller bc it makes it quite hard

Pros: Nice social hostel, easy to meet people and great vibe, enough space to store food, big rooms, clean bathrooms, really nice and helpful staff, nice backyard, lot of social events Cons: Kitchen was a bit messy/ dirty, no lockers, no shelves, no bed curtains (would be nice for some privacy)
