Mad Monkey Backpackers Village

Exceptional

Liked: The staff is super friendly and helpful, and the vibe is fun and social. It’s easy to meet people here.Rooms are clean, the kitchen has everything you need and the pool is perfect for Cairns hot days.The location is quiet but still close to everything. They also organise events and activities, which makes the experience even better!

Nice hostel, but maybe not...

Liked: -Beds were very comfortable- the girls in the travel desk were lovely-bathrooms were clean, as were the rooms- pool is ok
Disliked: -I felt a lack of socializing activites, as much as they were proposed , the employees are not there to promote it or to help newcomers integrate. I even went to trivia night on the monkey central hostel, arrived by myself and the employee there barely acknowledged me (I asked about the game, she said it had changed). In a hostel where people were staying for a long time, if you are not it kind of feels like a high school full of cliques. There was even a german girl who came to (very rudely) fight with me because I accidentally thought her food was part of the hostel bbq (I didn’t eat anything, just VERY accidentally added it to my plate, and this other huge guy who was her friend removed it from my plate without saying a word). Not the hostel’s fault, but something that could have been solved had they explained and promoted socialization- Rooms were quite small- beds could have a curtain- airco was quite strong (yes you can ask reception to change it, but in a room with another 7 people, you can’t really ask everyone)

Excellent

Liked: I had an amazing time living at this place! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. In terms of the scenery, the common area was more spacious than other hostels I’ve stayed in, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Furthermore, the pool area is well-equipped with sun loungers and daybeds, making it a great spot to relax.Overall, I’d highly recommend staying at this hostel, then you’re bound to make unforgettable memories during your time in Cairns.

Very good
