Mad Monkey Hostel Nacpan Beach - Adults Only

I don't usually write negative reviews but I had to with this hostel. First off, the staff were great, no complaints there. I never stayed in the dorm area as they were all booked so no comment there. I had a loft style room. The stairs up to it were very steep. I can see someone falling on the way down if they've had a few too many. One of the steps was very rotted out and felt like it may give way any day. I get we are in a somewhat remote area of Palawan but the power and wifi kept going off. With no cell coverage, kind of a bummer when trying to arrange your flights etc. My last gripe was their food menu. Everytime I wanted to order anything, "Sorry sir we are all out" The amount of times I heard this for myself and other guests. Whoever is in charge of the food inventory needs to do better. You can walk to any other place on the beach and they have everything available on their menu. I would stay here again but would have lower expectations for certain things.

For a hostel it is a good choice, although we were there during off season and it was incredibly noisy. I can only imagine it during peak season. The reception staff were friendly and helpful but the cleaners and security guy were noisy at all hours. The onsite restaurant was awful, we had one meal and never ate there again. Thankfully the hostel is in a perfect location, on the most beautiful beach with lots of nice places to eat and drink nearby.

Doorm rooms = waaaay 2 hot! Just small fans on top of beds ,not really helpful for the rest of the room. No pressure in showers , sometimes also no water coming out at all. No electricity from time to time. To be noted that there is no road the hole way to the hostel entrance so you must carry your luggage on rhe beach like 5-10 minutes before u are there so make sure you travel here light if you don’t want to struggle with that Private rooms was much better. Also hot but not as hot as dorms. Henry was really helpful with some

The beach was great

This is a great hostel. Very clean, right on the beach, incredible service. It did get rowdy at night, but was not a trashy vibe at all - fine if you were not trying to party. We are a couple in our 30s and enjoyed ourselves.

They should have a warning 'We party loud through the night to 3am nightly'. They also should change ordering system so you can add up a bill and pay once; guess they don't trust their guests.

Hi, my name is Lanfranco Paliotti and I stayed with my wife in your hostel for 7 days and I am writing to tell you that we could not stay longer. Our stay ruined our vacation in the Philippines. We checked out 1 day early. We tried to communicate but the girl with glasses at the reception was so rude from the beginning that we decided to leave. Three days ago, the light switch and the fan broke just before going to bed. There was a party going on in the hostel so there was no receptionist or maintenance available we had to sleep with the lights on to make the fan work, tormented by mosquitoes and without air and my wife felt sick. The Teepee was full of mosquitoes and sandflies. The next day, we asked for the fan light to be fixed early in the morning. When we returned at 7:00 PM, it had not been fixed yet due to the absence of the general manager. I actually had to say I would fix it myself... so maintenance came. Finally after a long wait of two hours it was fixed (only the fan and not the Light). All our experiences are negative. We waited 3 days for the tour of the islands, so that we could get to the number of 8 people. (the staff was not engaging at all) So the days passed, we could not book a trip elsewhere because we had been notified too late. When we finally got to the number of 8, instead of leaving at 9, we left at 11:45. We waited for 2 and a half hours. On the tour the person in charge was absent and not at all engaging, unfortunately he was not able to swim (th

Nice place right on the beach. Clean and nice staff. Bungalows a bit overpriced.

It was amazing, customer service is outstanding.

To far away … food was bad , showers was really.

Vi bodde i hyttene på toppen, det var veldig kjekt. God seng, god gjennomtrekk da det blåste en del, mulig det er varmere når det ikke er vind, men det er en ganske solid vifte der inne som nok klarer å kjøle det en del ned. Fest på kvelden, men det varte ikke så lenge. Vi var fornøyde og jeg hadde lett bodd her igjen :)

Abends immer was los. Super Stimmung jeden Abend und sehr nette und lustige Leute kennengelernt. Zudem super Location direkt am Strand! Allerdings viel zu teuer für das was das Hostel an Ausstattung und Komfort bietet.
