HOT TIP: Mad Monkey Kampot = Basecamp for River Vibes & Epic Day Trips.
Cruise the river. Chase waterfalls. Conquer Bokor Mountain. Kampot is your launchpad for the wild side of Cambodia — and Mad Monkey is where the adventure (and party) starts.

This is your chill-meets-thrill escape: paddleboarding at sunrise, tubing by sunset, and dancing under the stars. Our waterfront hostel blends laid-back tropical vibes with nonstop social energy — the perfect balance for backpackers and nomads who want it all.

Fuel your day at our riverside restaurant, serving up killer smoothie bowls, loaded burgers, Khmer specialties, and ice-cold drinks. Don’t miss our FREE drink for social hours at 7PM sharp — it’s the unofficial signal to get the night started. Pub quiz? Themed parties? DJ nights? You bet.

This hostel is probably the best hostel Ive stayed at in South East Asia, its more like a riverside resort. All the facilities are brand new, big dorms with AC and rain showers with hot water. Pool, gym, jacuzzi, ice plunge, sauna, steam room (although sauna was not finished yet during my stay). Very impressed with the 80mbps wifi and was able to do all my online work. I have to mention that they are still finishing up some of the last construction of the building, but this didnt bother me as the staff an
