Mad Monkey Koh Rong in Koh Rong Island provides adults-only accommodation with a restaurant and a bar. The accommodation features evening entertainment and a 24-hour front desk.

Long Set Beach is a few steps from the hostel.

Great place to live the simple life by the beach. My private bungalow was very simple, but exactly as expected, and very clean. Appreciated the social activities organized everyday. The staff was always friendly and helpful -- thanks to Lauren and Nami and everyone else whose names I don't remember. It's not fancy but it's a wonderful hostel, a great choice for beachside fun with a social life and no frills. Enjoyed having lots of common areas to hang out, relax, make friends, enjoy the beach. Also the beach here was GREAT, very clean compared to other beaches I visited on the island.

I had a great stay at Koh Rong Lagoon. The beds were huge and super comfortable, the on site restaurant was amazing (huge portions and so cheap) and the staff were incredibly friendly. 10/10 would recommend :)

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The best hostel to stay at on Koh Rong, especially if you are going to Nestival. The hostel had a great vibe, really good food and was very sociable. The rooms were cool and comfy and right on the beach. Very close to the pier for leaving the island too

    Spacious room. Mattress was comfortable. Great location, at the end of the “strip” of restaurants on Koh Toch. Staff were very nice. Slept quite good when the locals weren’t wailing on karaoke right outside!! Good if you want a budget stay on the island

    The pool area and the beach area are unreal! Some of the best and most picturesque views ever. Location great also as it’s next door to a Mad Monkey Hostel so easy to go get some cheaper food. Free breakfast so nice too

    Lovely staff and great location - almost right on the beach with lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Towels were provided and the guesthouse had a very homely feel to it which I appreciated. Free water and coffee was available at all times. Great price though and probably beats all the other hostels you have available on the island.

    This property is on the cheaper side for places on Koh Rong and we knew that it was going to be quite basic. The property is in a great location and the guy who runs it is very friendly and helped answer any questions we had. Having AC was a huge plus!

    I was there in the first week that they opened, and it was so nice! The ferry dropped us off at almost right next to the hostel. The best thing was the nice staff, they are a good mix of local and not local people. Especially a big thanks to Joe and Annemijn, to make the days a lot of fun. There were also a lot of activities during the day, that is a great way as a solo traveler to meet new people. If you are down to party, the people here are too, but if you wanna sleep early (like me the last night) the dorms a pretty good sound proof.

    Honestly the best hostel I’ve stayed at in Asia. Staff were really helpful, food was decent, good to party on a night but also super chilled out through the day. I’ll be coming back 100%!!
