## About

Founded in 2011, and based in Cambodia, Mad Monkey Hostels operates as a hostel brand. The company was founded by Alex Darroch, Oliver Wildmore, Steve Vaile, and Tom Edwards. As of 2022, the company operates hostels in Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand. In March 2026, Mad Monkey Hostels raised an undisclosed amount of venture funding from Best Nights VC and EXS Capital.

Mad Monkey operates hostels and provides an online digital platform for domestic and international travelers to book its hostels that also helps its team to better understand and anticipate their customer's needs with detailed insights, as well as improve the real-time feedback loop and modify their strategy.

The company will use the March 2026 funding to support continued expansion, scale experience-driven hospitality, and strengthen community-focused travel offerings.
