Mad Monkey Gili Trawangan

Fantastic Stay at Mad Monkeys! My stay at Mad Monkeys on Gili Trawangan was absolutely fantastic! The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming, creating an environment that’s all about having fun. I want to give a special shout-out to Agy, one of the staff members, who really stood out for his friendliness and real care for the guests. He took the time to make sure everyone was having a great time and even organized a snorkeling tour for us, where we saw numerous fish and turtles—a truly memorable experience! The activities at Mad Monkeys are varied and exciting. From beer pong to volleyball, and even foam parties in the pool, there’s always something fun happening. The food here also exceeded my expectations. The variety was impressive, and the prices were surprisingly affordable, especially considering we were on a party island. I was genuinely surprised by the quality and affordability of the meals.

I loved the pool, volleyball court, and the vibes. Mexican night and music quiz were quite nice. It’s very easy to meet people here and make friends if traveling solo. The restaurant menu is okay.

One of the best party hostels out there, with activities such as snorkelling tours, bike tours, "family" dinners, foam parties, etc every day. Excellent place to meet people, we made so many friends! The staff are incredible, we had the best time with them. The dorms are only 3 beds, which is wonderful, we slept great. The location is okay, it's right on the beach, but not the best beach for swimming (rocky), and most of the beaches/restaurants/bars/parties are on the other side of the island, although it's easy to get there by bike!

I liked how social the hostel was and how easy it was to meet people. There was always an event on each day that you could join if you wanted and the pool area was very social with the beer pong and volley ball. I also like that it was right by the beach and facing the sunset!

I extended my stay at Mad Monkey and eventually stayed there for 5 nights. I gotta say it was one of the best experiences of hostel I had on my travels in southeast asia. There are couple of points you need to know before coming here: - the location is great for people want to feel the vibes of the “isolated” island and being far from all the touristic stuff, though you can always take a bike and ride 20 min to the clubs area etc -the atmosphere is amazing! I met so many great people and the hostel puts a lot of effort that people will enjoy their stay as well every day different activities and two foam parties a week -it is one of the only hostels you have direct view to the sea, which is a huge advantage
