Hotel berhampiran Trapeang Sangkae Mangrove forest, Trapeang Sangkae

I chose this boutique hotel for my birthday weekend getaway. It's literally my first birthday celebration with my husband and it was horrible because we keep getting interruptions from the hotel staff. We got an incessant knock on our door TWICE during ONE day we stay there. The first time was due to their incompetent lack of preparation. They didn't prepare a spot for our car park even if we book the room one week in advance and when there are other cars coming they ask us to change our parking spot. The second time was a mistake, they thought they were knocking on another guest that they need something from. It ruined the mood and I feel like I have no peace or privacy. I will never go back and every single person going to visit Kampot I will tell them to never ever go to Phka Kravan Boutique.

The hotel looks nice but a little bit dusty, our room also looks nice but it was full of mosquitoes which is super annoying, we had to use mosquitoes spray to totally cover ourselves all the time and be careful with the door to bathroom since bathroom is an open space with only half of the ceiling. But still we got beaten up a lot. The curtains were super dirty covered with dead insects, the AC was not too functional but they put this AC blows right on the bed which made me and and my boyfriend both sick after the tour. And the rooms are not private enough, the description says swimming pool view, but actually the swimming pool just 5 meters in front our room. Overall I like the design of the rooms but there are many details were not satisfying, especially with the price, it could be the most expensive hotel I have tried in Cambodia, but experience was seriously so so.

The hotel is new and modern, but far from the town centre. It has two small pools, neither of which looked particularly appealing, especially the one on the Boutique side. My room (311) was clean and tidy, but the bathroom had some problems. The bath was not installed properly and could have fallen over as it wasn't silicone sealed to the floor (no building safety checks in Cambodia). The bath tap had no hot water, only the shower did. The shower had no door, so the water splashed onto the floor and wall. This caused dampness in the bedroom wall. The room was supposed to be 40m2, but it was definitely smaller, even with the balcony. The hotel was also very noisy. There was a railway line next to it with passenger and freight trains passing by. Across the street, there was a house with chickens and a dog. The roosters started to crow at 4:30am and the dog barked soon after. I could not do anything about them because they belonged to a private Cambodian house. The best part of the hotel experience was the breakfast (except for the flies on the food that is sitting out) and the staff. They were all friendly.

This is probably one of my strangest reviews I have written on a hotel. Firstly the hotel is set on a small island and the only way on and off is by a speedboat , which is great fun. The location of the hotel is about 7 km outside of Kampot so you will need a tuk tuk ride into town. So that is about the location of the hotel, lets now talk about the hotel its self. The rooms are all on stilts and connected by wooden walkways. The rooms have a small terrace and are very comfortable. You are offered to use bikes to get around the resort, this also is great fun and very unusual The facilities of the hotel offered are for potential families with swings, crazy golf and a large swimming pool, which is some distance from the reception area. There are plenty of sunbeds and places to sit near the pool for the number of guest we saw. This now brings to an observation, When we checked in, it appeared we were only 6or 7 other guests. Many of the areas were deserted and not staffed, so to get a drink by the pool required us to go back to reception and someone to serve us. So getting a drink could take 30 mins or so. However we stayed for 4 nights and by the 2nd day other guests had arrived and it was a little easier to get a drink or something to eat. It would have been better if the staff made themselves more visible than hide behind a bar that was not open. The food, the first couple of mornings it was a menu driven breakfast and unfortunately it was not that great, gold fried eggs. It appeared that they only had one member of staff who could speak English and when he was not on, a lot got lost in translation like asking for sugar. We ate there one evening and the food was expensive compare to outside of the resort and was again not of the best quality and being cold, which we had to send back. Day 3 and 4 with more guests a buffet breakfast was put on. The selection was adequate, but not great compared to other hotels we had stayed at. I do think this hotel is either suffering and still recovering from Covid or they are in a transition. It is potentially a gold mine if they had more guests and a good chef, also opened up the bar near the pool.

10년만의 캄보디아여행, 10년만의 베란다 리조트, 이 곳에 가고 싶은 마음에 코로나 이후 첫 여행지를 캄보디아로 정했어요. 꽤 오랜 시간이 흘렀지만 여전히 아름다운 곳이었습니다. 매일 아침 정성스럽게 준비해주시는 조식도 맛있었고! 인피니티풀에서 노을을 보며 마신 모히또 한 잔! 잊지 못할 추억이 될 것 같아요. 스탭분들도 늘 친절하게 맞아주셔서 머무는 동안 늘 환대받는 기분이었어요. 언제든 켑에, 캄보디아에 다시 가게 된다면 꼭 다시 머물고 싶은 그런 곳이에요. 오래오래 그 자리에 있어주길 바랍니다.

Good Resort with beautiful nature and full of entertainment with a pleasant stay Nice swimming ,BBQ and Photos shooting with a nice views The food and drinks nice especially cocktails and red wine Near Phnom Penh easy to go and back Room prices is acceptable and Service looking professionals

Such an amazing stay. Rooms and resort are even better than the photos online. You truly get a “resort” feel here. Facilities are brand new and everything is extremely clean. Hotel is only 8 minutes to town and there are tuktuks ready to take you. Can not recommend this hotel enough for someone looking for a relaxing and upscale Kampot stay for a reasonable price. You will not regret staying here, it’s straight out of the movies. The free kayaks are a wonderful touch to the resort.

We stayed in Kampot as the last leg in a month long journey through Cambodia. This was hands down the best value for money we found! The breakfast is fabulous (didn’t eat again until dinner), the location is excellent and the room was huge and very clean. But our best experience in this hotel was with the staff, particularly Kosal. Kosal’s love for his job is evident in every interaction. Please just ask him for anything you need or want to know- he is so happy to help. We enquired about visiting a local school to donate supplies and Kosal not only recommended such a wonderful school but also took us there personally in his very precious time off and introduced us to his family. We highly recommend!!

What can I say….. a really great hotel. Very close to bars and restaurants. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. Any request I had was dealt with very professionally. The hotel itself was very modern and very clean. The room was very nice with a very comfortable bed. The rooftop pool any cafe in was an oasis in the city that I thoroughly enjoyed and it’s one of the best I’ve stayed in for a very reasonable price. I would highly recommend and I will definitely stay again when I return to kampot.
