The Happy Mango Tree

2 Luke Andrews - 3 years ago

The worst hostel I have ever stayed in, but also the cheapest so don't know what I was expecting really. The mattress was awful, no padding left to it just springs. The windows just have wooden bars, no way of shutting or netting meaning mosquitos can get in easily so we got bitten all night! The hostel also looks as if it could do with a good clean, light switches, walls and corners of rooms look as if they have never been cleaned. We booked for 5 nights but ended up leaving after one night and were only refunded a fraction of what we had paid.

If you only care about price and location then this place is for you, but if you want to have a good nights sleep there are places slightly more expensive, but a LOT better.

Friendly staff, and great vibe. We did enjoy our stay, but... We opted for the cheapest dorm available - equivalent of around 2-3 pounds per person, per night. You get what you pay for- the beds were uncomfortable, dodgy electrics, and the ceiling in the bathroom had a major leak in the rain. None of these seemed to be a new problem either. The hostel would benefit from charging a little more so they can afford the repairs!

We stayed in a double bed room. Hostel itself looks really nice. Lots of colour and nice decoration. Doors and beds in Balinese decor. As it is next to a rice field expect lots of mosquitos, bugs and cockroaches. Nice place to stay if you don't mind that.

For what you pay, its good value. Bedding is decent, rooms arent crowded, balconies are super lovely to hang out in. Lots of communal areas and lovely staff who are happy to help. My only 2 criticisms would be to improve the wifi and to have a kitchenette avaliable with basics (sink, kettle, stovetop, pots and pans, cutlery and crockery) otherwise this is a hostel with a chill vibe, great location and very budget friendly.

The staff is friendly and the rooms are clean. They also try to accommodate any requests you may have. On the other hand they are constantly trying to sell you something. They ask you about your plans for the day and than they push you to buy a taxi ride, cooking class, motorbike rent etc. I felt really uncomfortable with that.

Cheapest place in town but the lumpy beds and quality of the rooms show why. Any true backpacker will spring for this spot just for the price (like me). Decent hanging area with bar and restaurant. Nice to be off the main busy Monkey Forest Rd.

Loved our stay at the Happy Mango and especially all of Yoman’s help. Friendly staff and good breakfast. The dorms are definitely basic, but felt the vibes and price (50,000 IDR for a dorm) were fantastic.
