staying at mad monkey was such a fun experience!!! the vibe is super social but still really chill when you need it. the events and tours were a great way to meet people and see the city, and the food + drinks always hit the spot. rooms were clean and comfy too. big shoutout to Kassey for making the place feel so welcoming - she’s full of good energy and makes sure everyone has a great time! definitely recommend this hostel if you’re in siem reap

Good stay at mad monkey. We stayed in a double private room, it had some cleanliness issues but overall it was ok. More run down than the one we stayed at in Phnom Penh. Hostel has a great location and is only about a 15 minute walk from pub street etc. Staff were friendly and welcoming, tours are offered at this hostel and regular evening activities/entertainment.

Stayed at Mad Monkey Siem Reap already two times and both were amazing. Excellent facilities, great staff and amazing vibe every night. Would highlight my interactions with the hostel manager, Rachel, who was always very polite, helpful and hands-on any matter. If you wanna experience the best pub crawls in siem reap, hit Roisin and Sokreom up, 100% fun guaranteed!!!!
Thank you, Mad Monkey ❤️

Great hostel! The staff was very friendly and helped organize my Angkor wat tour. The location is not great, but you can grab a tuktuk easily to go to pub street for less than a dollar.

Overall good experience just be careful about their clubbing tours led by Alex and SK. you paid 10$ for nothing and got scammed to buy drinks for them. they promised you to let you buy for all shots this round firstly and they will pay next round at next bar. you know what gonna happen. they will stay at this bar forever. why you pay 10$ for clubs which don’t have entrance fee? be alert guys and stay away from them

Originally booked for 2 nights and ended up extending an extra night we loved it so much! We had a private room at the pool, it was super clean and spacious!!
The highlight of our stay had to be Sokreom, his service from the moment we checked in was amazing, from taking our bags to our room, to the cocktail making session and then to taking us out to pub street for one of the best nights out we’ve had!
He was so much fun, so knowledgable and made our stay!
Thank you Sokreom for giving us such an unforgettable stay in Siem Reap!
