About
Dumaguete is the kind of place travellers plan to pass through, then somehow end up staying a week. Between volcanic landscapes, waterfall adventures and island hopping, there’s always one more reason to stick around. Add a social hostel packed with daily activities, cold drinks, and a pool that’s surrounded by new faces, and your onward travel plans might need a rethink.
Meeting people here happens naturally. Kick things off at The Meet Up – 7pm with 50% off beers at the bar. Challenge your new crew to a round on our 18-hole mini golf course, jump into our legendary Beer Pong Tournaments every Thursday and Saturday, or grab the mic for Sunday Karaoke Night. With a swimming pool, spa facilities, air-conditioned sports bar, pool table, co-working space, and nightly events all under one roof, Mad Monkey Dumaguete has become the social hub for backpackers, students, divers, and digital nomads passing through town.
Use us as your base for some of Negros Oriental’s best adventures. Swim alongside sea turtles at Apo Island, spot dolphins and walk across the famous Manjuyod Sandbar, or escape into the mountains on our Valencia Tour. Our team can help organise it all, so you can spend less time researching and more time exploring.
When you're not out chasing adventures, Dumaguete's waterfront boulevard, local restaurants, cafes and bars are all within easy reach. And when it's finally time to recharge, our air-conditioned dorms, private rooms, and 360° privacy curtains make recovery mode easy. Remember if you book directly, you get additional free nights and loyalty perks.

WHY MAD MONKEY?
Because some places are worth slowing down for. Come for Apo Island or the sandbars, stay for the people you meet, the unexpected nights out, and the stories that make you miss your ferry.
