Had such a great time staying here. The hostel has a very social atmosphere, so it’s perfect if you’re traveling solo and want to meet people. The pool and bar area are always lively, especially in the evenings with events and games. Rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were always friendly and helpful. It can be a bit loud at night, but that’s expected with the vibe. Overall, highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun and social stay in MM Panglao;)

Le mobilier est très bien, le lit est confortable et propre, les toilettes et douches bien entretenues, le personnel est agréable et tous les services attendus sont présents. Les deux gros points négatifs pour moi sont tout d'abord l'emplacement de l'hostel, il est loin du centre, c'est plus compliqué pour manger dehors. Et enfin, ce n'est pas dépendant de l'hostel mais j'ai passé une très mauvaise nuit à cause d'une dizaine de lads qui occupaient le dortoir de 20 places comme si person...

Mad Monkey Panglao absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the energy was unreal—in the best way possible. It’s the kind of place where you check in not knowing anyone and leave with a whole group of friends. The social scene here is next level. The pool area is always buzzing during the day, and by night it transforms into a full-on party with games, music, and events that actually make it easy to connect with people and the staff amazing Jit, rio, Jeffrey, Leonora,...

Had a great time in Panglao. The close beach wasn’t the best but it didn’t matter. Staff were super great and made sure to include everyone and get people talking to each other. Met lots of cool people and had fun activities during the day even after late nights out. Dredd (jhay_explorer) is awesome and helped us get signed up for great activities like the sunset cruise. He also took my friend and I out to the bars one night after his work. Had a great night! Highly recommend for a fun few ...

I had a really fun stay at Mad Monkey Panglao. The hostel has a super social atmosphere, which makes it really easy to meet other travelers—especially if you’re solo. The pool area and bar are definitely the highlights, with daily events that are super fun, especially music trivia night! The staff were friendly and helpful, always organizing activities and making sure everyone was included. Geoff’s magic tricks were the best, Ivy is a sweetheart, and Keran was very attentive.

Stayed at the mad monkey in Panglao and I would highly recommend. The service was excellent, the food was super tasty and the staff were so friendly. Big shout out to dredd, jit , ivy , cris , eric , rio, and glydel who made us feel so welcome from the second we arrived to the minute we lift. The location was perfect for heading into the town or even just chilling on the beach. Will definitely be staying there again.

This is one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at and it’s all because of the amazing staff- Dredd, Jit, Ivy, Eric, Gyldel and Cris who make it feel like one big family. This place wouldn’t be the same without them and I couldn’t recommend this hostel more

I had a great time there, the staffs are very welcoming and friendly, Especially Ivy. I am a introverted solo traveler but once I went to the bar she said hi to me and showed me around. She invited me to play beer bang, pool volleyball together, that was so much fun. Of course we also drank a lot together haha. She also kept checking on me when I’m alone. I really appreciate it. There is another staff Cris also helped me a lot with information I needed too. Overall I recommend to stay here.
