My motivation here is to provide a genuine account of what to expect, I'm not too sure that some reviews or scores I've seen here are a true reflection, I would also question their authenticity... Firstly let me start by saying I'm reasonable well travelled and have always used budget accommodation as this is the best place to meet people... More

Staying at Monkey Janes is quite the experience. I should begin this review by saying that I am 53 years old. I was traveling with my son who is studying in Beijing. I mention my age because I was twice as old as nearly everyone staying at Monkey Janes. Jane’s guesthouse is designed for backpackers. Most people stay in bunkrooms... More

I wouldn't recommend any one to stay in this hostel, bed linen are damp....("wet" would be the appropriate word). It is impossible to have our clothes dry and after one night, all our clothes started to have a musky smell (like the entire room). The lady running this hostel is one of the rudest person I've ever dealt with. She... More

If you are looking to stay in the nicest hotel in Yangshuo, then Monkey Jane's is probably not for you. Not that there is anything wrong with the place besides being a bit shabby. But this hotel really excels if you believe that travelling is about the people that you meet, rather than the places to go. On our first... More

The room and service were terrible but the rooftop bar makes it a memorable stay. The dorm room was very damp and dirty (bedding felt damp). The staff were either unenthusiastic or stoned. Crazy crazy place living off the rep of the rooftop bar. Would reccomend a visit to the bar only, do not stay in the hostel. Luckily we... More

I stayed here on the 23rd of March 2013, the dorm rooms are dirty with mouldy walls. One of the beds in the dorm had bed bugs crawling all over it. I asked for a refund but the staff seemed too stoned to care. Avoid!

Although we did not actually stay overnight here, we did visit the rooftop bar many times and had great fun every time!! From beer pong to very strong alcohol shots with snake in it there is fun to be had. Chilled out and fun place. (Staff very fun to play beer pong against too...especially when we kept beating them haha!)... More

If you are coming for other reasons than to have fun go elsewhere. Rooms tend to get cold during the low season and cleanliness is not the best thing the do. BUT you are in for a hell of a time. Fun is guaranteed every night at the rooftop bar where all meet for drinks and games. This makes up... More

Let's begin with Yangshuo, a quaint town on the periphery of a major junction of arterial rivers that overlook the infamous Karst scenery here. Given that, guesthouses are falling out of every closet and nook of the central West Street. My friend and I sought to window shop and landed on M.J.'s. The personality of the place is incredible, a... More

Really cheap dorms, good prices on food/drinks. Loads of fun at night with great parties, beerpong and so on. Great location. Stayed for four days with a friend and Jane helped us out with our visas for Vietnam (for a price ofcourse). Try out the family dinners, those are great!
