Busy party hostel. Feels quite cliquey. Facilities are good. The kitchen is good for a hostel but very small so it tends to get extremely crowded around dinner time.

The hostal was in very poor conditions. There were cockroaches in the kitchen. After telling the staff they just said they would send someone to look. The next day there were still cockroaches in the same spot.

One of the dirtiest hostels I've been to, very loud, would not recommend.

really enjoyed my stay here, was pleasantly surprised by how clean and new the bathrooms were especially. the kitchen is huge and so much space to store belongings. you do need to bring your own padlock for the lockers. HUGE hostel. felt safe being a female traveller in a mixed dorm. lots of people stay here long term in off season and it’s easy to see why. would definitely come back.

great staff and facilities but very cliquey vibe, difficult for solo travelers to make friends

Don’t stay here!! When I checked in my mattress and sheets were so damp and smelled. The French lady at reception was helpful and moved me, but into a dorm full of full timers. The whole place smelled like weed and cigarettes, the bathroom and room was so cluttered and the window by my bed was directly alongside the bar/kitchen area so it was crazy loud and felt like being in an aquarium. I wish I could upload photos- it was so bad.

Loved staying at Mad Monkey Jungle. The staff is very friendly and the space is clean. The environment is super social. There are events almost every night and always people hanging out by the pool so it is easy to make friends as a solo traveller. Highly recommend staying here if you’re going to Cairns!

Mad monkey jungle has been one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in, from the staff to location and everything in between! The kitchen is a great size for people who need to cook on a daily basis. If you are looking for a social hostel in a prime location mad monkey jungle is definitely for you!

I stayed for a week and honestly the best hostel I’ve been too in awhile. Caro and Keysen were really helpful and showed me around the place when I checked in. Lou at the bartender was super friendly and fun to be around. It is a very social hostel and everyone was friendly including all the house keeping staff. All the common areas were cleaned regularly and you can tell the staff care about keeping it clean. I would staff again if I come back to Cairns.

Had an amazing stay at this hostel, it’s a super social hostel and had lots going on. Carol and Keysen made check in super easy and made me feel really welcome. Room was cleaned amazingly everyday by housekeeping and the location is perfect for any activities which they will also help you organise.
