Kâmpôt hotels & accommodations
I had a good stay at the Thansur Bokor resort. I had been in Cambodia for three weeks and I was ready to go somewhere to cool off. This is the only hotel up on the plateau near the old French Bokor hill station, where it's cool enough to wear long pants at night. My room was very nice, the staff was great and welcoming, and the food was good, both the breakfast and ...
I stayed here for 3 nights initially in the bungalows and I cancelled my bus and hotel reservations to the next location to stay here longer.hans and his family and staff have welcomed and treated me like one of the family if I did not have to leave they would have to remove me by force!!great pool area to chill in the day,the grounds and view are just unbeatable in ka...
This was the second/remaining hotel booked in Kampot. My fiancée and I were pleasantly surprised by the hotel. The prior night we stayed at a Resort/Coral Bay hotel, that hotel was a completely opposite of this Hotel FIve S. The staff, Kosal, at Five S was very friendly with excellent customer service. He greeted us, provided a welcome drink and explained the area to ...
The hotel was lovely, we had a great time so much so we extended our stay another night. The breakfast was not the best but edible. The worst thing that happened we ordered a taxi to Phnom Pehn. The receptionist decided to send him away. We were very disappointed as this was a private arrangement we had made. She didn’t seem to understand we made the Booking and wanted...
I stayed there for 2 nights during my Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia trip and I really enjoyed my stay in the MAKK hotel. The hotel is located quite central but still quited. The rooms are very nice and the staff is just fantastic. They really care about you. I booked an one day tour with a TukTuk to the countryside including the pepper farms and the Kep fish marked via...
This is a new hotel.It is close to the river.There is no telephone at room.The door isn't automatic,it must be opened by key.The room is clean.There is a small swimming pool.The breakfast is simple,only can order one item and one drink.I think the breakfast must be improved.Renting motorbike is very cheap,only takes 5 dollars per day.The staff is very helpful.He dealed...
Vibola is on a very quiet street only one block from the river front. Very close to many restaurants, shopping, and convenience stores. The staff are very friendly and do their best to help even with the language barrier. The rooms are a nice size with very comfortable beds and great A/C. Just wish they had in room safe and kettle. The pool is in he center of ...
The hotel doesn't actually face the river but the hospital across the side street so no nightclub noises nearby! The restaurant is basic but breakfast and lunchtime baquettes were delicious. Bathrooms are very small with shower right near toilet and basin but plenty of wTer and hot if you wanted it. Room was large with 2 double beds fan and ac. Hanging rack for towels ...

It’s the best place for you to relax if you are on a holiday and lovely to enjoy a peaceful life rather than joining the city hotels containing full of loud noise, the surrounding making it more perfect especially if you are a morning person you will love to smell the fresh air coming from the mountain and sun rise view.
We were so happy to discover this little island of Beaty and piece amid horrifying surroundings. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Food is delicious (try pancakes with fruits- it's fantastic). One can rent a bike right there, or order a tuk-tuck driver. We did both and it was worth it 300%. Take a tour with Angie. This tuktuk driver is great guide, former deminer wh...
My girlfriend and I traveled through Cambodia for a month through Siem Reap, Battambang, Sihanoukville and Kampot. Mea Culpa is by far the best accommodations we've stayed at. Their service here stands out more than other accommodations. We were greeted with a smile every time we speak with them. The area of the hotel is very relaxing. Great for just sitting and havi...

We selected this hotel based on Location and the reviews. Hotel was quiet clean and comfortable. Still very new and it is obvious that the staff have not had much exposure to western clients. Do not expect much for the free breakfast, Two fried eggs and bread or omelet and bread. Nothing else. Coffee and a coke was $5.5 so the breakfast was not really free at all....

Hotel is beautiful. The staff is very helpful and food might had been the best I had in Cambodia. Is delicious! Just remember to always have cash with you in Cambodia. Credit cards acceptance is limited in the country.
The owner said you have been booking the cheapest price ever we have never done. I will complain to Agoda about this cheap price like that.
We took a risk with this booking as there were no reviews, and so glad we did. This is a brand new small place with several bungalows. We stayed directly on the river front. Bathroom was clean with a good shower. Bed was clean and comfortable. Not a vast amount of space but enough for us. Lovely small decking area to chill on the river, with your own steps leading down...
Superb value for money, best location in Kampot, next to the river, best restaurants and tour operators and as well not far from Durian roundabout. Spotless clean. The staff could have been a bit more attentive to guests though and the only problem I have had with this place is that internet is not reliable. Most of the time I had access but I didn't have it when I arr...

After staying smack in the center of town, this place felt a bit out there. That being said, is its realistically only a 15 min walk or 4 minute motorbike ride, which you can rent at the property. The pool was great! We loved having a place to go cool off in. Overall, the amenities were pretty decent but Def no 5 star. I'd say the biggest drawback is that the staff d...
This hostel is excellent for escaping the tourist hustle. Only 15 mins walk along the riverfront from the Town Centre. 5 mins from the start of the Restaurant strip. Great English/Khmer/Swedish speaking owners and staff are able to organise transport, tours and passport visas. Internet is excellent and the sunset view from the bar is one of the best I've ever seen. It'...
This was my second stay because it's getting busy in Kampot and harder to find longer availibilty, I should've booked ten nights when I had the chance. Please read my previous review but I have to say one more time this is an excellent hotel and the Cambodian staff are wonderful. I have stayed in countless hotels throughout South East Asia and I cannot fault this one. ...
Champa Lodge is a seriously beautiful place located up river from the quaint town of Kampot. It's only a 10 minute tuk tuk ride from town but has the most serene riverside location. The rooms are traditional Khmer houses set on stilts with either a garden or as we had, a stunning river view. Our house was beautifully decorated in traditional style with the luxury of a ...
We love to stay in locally run boutique places so if you enjoy that type of environment this is the place for you. The rooms are extremely clean, spacious , air con is available and they have blackout curtains. The place is quiet and the owners are very helpful informing you of the best apps to book a tuk tuk or booking one for you for only $1.50 to the town centre. Th...
Beautiful place here. The Staff all seem very honest and friendly. The rooms are big clean and the Air con works great. There is a laid back bar upstairs with a pool table and social atmosphere. Restrant does good breakfast. There is also a food place either side and an rustic boat bar oppsite and a sunset dinner boat tour next to that. It is Walking distance from the ...
If you have been to Kampot a few times and kind of stayed everywhere already, but still want to go back and discover it from a new angle - then book a stay at this great place called Sabay Beach! It's been constructed and managed by a group of young, yet super professional French people coming from hospitality background (which shows!). They have trained their staff s...
We loved our stay here. Be aware that you are pretty far from the city center so you will constantly need tuktuks or a scooter to get around. Our room was perfect, just like the pictures. A riverside room with a ladder down to the river and an amazing hammock to watch the sunset over the mountains. We nooked this place to get away from the noise as we have been t...
very friendly and warm staff run by an aussie and his cambodian wife. just totally relaxing to sit with a drink and watch the activity on the street along the river. the breakfast was good (eggs and bacon, juice, coffee) tho i had dinner there one night and had the ribs which were no doubt the toughest ever. last year i had ribs at the rusty nail(?) i think that is...
Clean room and bathroom, great central location, kind staff. Free welcome drink was a small bottle of water - and we had to ask for it, otherwise we would not get it. "Free bottled water" meant that you would only get one small 330 ml bottle of water per person per day. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay there. It was one of the best budget hotels we staye...
This property's location is excellent. I booked the terrace room, which is a one flight walk-up and overlooks the street. The terrace has two chairs and a table. Unfortunately, when you sit, you cannot see said street through the thick railing. The room is large, yet lacks a bureau, shelves, or hooks. If you're staying for more than a day, you end up either leaving e...

We planned to stay in Kampot for a day or two, and just booked our 4th night here. The location is a 3 minute moped ride (rentals available here) to the center of town, or 10 minutes walking thanks to the old bridge. Quite, fun, relaxed atmosphere with the best food this side of the river. Pool table is a great pass-time, fast wifi, deck/chairs over the river looking a...
Loved my stay here even though I wasn’t able to get out and about because of the rain! The beds were comfy and felt private because of the curtain. I didn’t love the wet room shower because the bathroom is small so everything gets wet but that’s me being fussy. The owners were so lovely and even got the mini van to come and pick me up from the hostel even though I hadn...
We had a great stay at Bohemiaz! We stayed in a bungalow for 2 nights and 1 night in the budget room. Both were clean, comfortable and great value for money. The pool is so nice and cleaned naturally! Gorgeous view of the mountains while you are swimming or relaxing in one of the supercomfy chairs or hammocks. The food is delicious, the menu is a mix between Western an...
Excellent facilities very clean excellent WIFI. Very friendly place to stay. Cheap food close to hotel. Tem minute walk to town. 2 minute walk to the river. After 2 months is best hotel i find for this price in Cambodia
Had a fantastic stay here, and didn't want to leave. I heard about this from Nomadic Matt so I booked for a couple of nights, but I kept extending my stay because the town of Kampot and this hostel were so great. I eventually had to move on because they were completely booked, and I didn't want to risk a bad hostel experience by moving someplace else, so I left town re...

Very happy we stayed here. Great A/C, large room with hanging space for clothing, and one of the most comfortable mattresses I’ve felt in Asia. They hand washed some laundry for us at an amazing price. They rented us a great motorbike for the ride into Bokor National Park. Owner was friendly and accommodating. Short walk to the river front, didn’t bother us because we ...
Great food! Amazing, friendly staff :) comfy beds. Best place we have stayed in all of Cambodia Thanks to the owner Chris for organising moto’s, our return bus and all in all a fantastic time in Kampot!! Monique and Paul - Australia
When we came to a booked hotel it was full. But we got another building new one, same owner. Everything new.
I booked here a day in advance receieved confirmation etc. I messaged and called to day I'd be coming in late with the train and my motorbike. Arrived as scheduled at 9:30 to check in to my single. They laughed and said they had no room left. Luckily I speak Khmer, so I asked them to check their booking records, Indeed, there it was. Though I booked on Agoda, it w...
This was my 3rd trip to Kampot and this is the best place i've stayed. It's a new hotel with big rooms. Super good value and quiet at night. Staff are amazing, even moving a table in from reception so I could work. Jimmi rode me to the store loads of times and kept me entertained with his great singing. This really is an undiscovered gem, I think because people think t...
Hotel staff friendly upon arrival but during our stay the staff was often impolite for no apparent reason. My daughter got our room number wrong and the employee openly laughed and made fun of her to other employees. There are Tuk Tuks parked outside of hotel which is convenient. The drivers become rude and belligerent if you turn down their services regardless of how ...

Loved this hotel so much, prompted me to write my first review after being SE Asia for 3 months. We booked for one night, ended up staying for 5. The rooms are spacious, very clean, have comfortable beds, nice flat screen television, powerful shower, effective air conditioning and dimmable lighting for the evenings. Everything you need to unwind after a busy day in kam...
The common area is the best. There are probably 18-20 huts on the property. Only one is actually on the river. The road can get the occasional truck or load motorbike but it is not normally an issue especially at night. There is a rooster who will make himself known first thing each day. If you are looking for a serene, comfortable, calm place. This is it.
I spent 5 nights there and everything was perfect. Staff are really friendly, and except 1 they all speak fluently english. You can do everything from the guesthouse it's close to the big market and in the center of everything. you can rent scooters and also book your bus ticket but with the real price no commission. My room was really nice and clean, big bed, Nice ...
Stayed here a few months ago but forgot to review. The value for money for this place was Amazing!! So clean and looked brand new. Needed a ped to get around as the location wasn't great but a fantastic place to stay. Could rent less from the hotel. Owners couldn't speak much English but was always happy to try and help. Would definitely return.
This place is kept very clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The hotel was built last year and they are doing very well at keeping it clean. The cleaners are busy everyday. The location is great, right next to the market so you can get everything you need nearby. It's about a 5-10 minute walk to the waterfront which is not a problem. The hotel is set ...
Awesome relaxed place to stay with a beautiful deck over the river. Shared bathrooms but they were always extremely clean. The staff were the best, super friendly, helpful and welcoming. They didn't make it weird if you just wanted to hang around all day. We ended up staying longer and we loved it!
We ended up staying 2 nights. The hotel is relatively clean and the rooms are accommodating. Beds are comfortable and shower set up is small, but much like other places though. You have to stand over the toilet in many rooms while showering. There is a young man that lives on the couch in the entry and runs the front desk. As soon as you no longer need his services, l...
The place is quite new but minea and the rest of the staff do the best to comfort you and welcome you. It's a little bit far off but as you need a scooter for kampot anyway that shouldn't be the biggest issue. The breakfast is the best I had in any hostel between Oceania and Asia and you got a kitchen as well for your own use
Overall this place was really good. It's only a short, 5 min walk to the river where all the shops/restaurants/bars are located. There's an atm located right next to the hotel, and behind it is the night market. It's small, but worth a look. You'll also find cheaper food here. Although, the best food we found was at a place called 'Pizza and Pasta'. It's a tiny Italia...

The manager and the staff are really friendly. The hotel is in renovation, but we are sure in some months it will be the best place to go. The swimming pool is beautyful like the bar. The hotel is really well situated. We spent 2 weeks there, we love this place.
Our stay at Mr. Lengs place was memorable. Mr. Leng and his family were very warm and welcoming. Not only they provided us with great recommendations, but Mr. Leng also rescued us when our motorbike wasn't starting in the middle of nowhere. He came very quickly, and arranged a new bike for us. The next day he accompanied us to bargain the price to fix the bike. You co...
