Nara Sojourn Boutique Villas Siem Reap

Can't say enough about this place. The rooms were large, clean and comfortable. The staff were very accommodating, even waiting late to cook for us when we returned late from excursions. The food was excellent! The resort is in good shape for the area. Only downside was the Buddhist chanting or dance music that played from a loudspeaker a short distance away in the village. It was almost constant. It was interesting to listen to but occasionally we just wanted for silence. All in all we were very happy that we stayed here and got to meet the staff.

We spent 4 nights at sojourn and after reading the reviews online we were really excited however the reviews just don’t match the reality. It’s very tired in particular the pool area. Furniture is old in need of a paint, sunbeds have mould on them and the pool (salt water) is not clean. The entire pool area needs a good scrub down from head to toe. Having said that though the rooms did not disappoint. It was clean and very spacious. The location is very quiet as it’s a few kms out of town in a cute village but it’s dusty as is most of Siem reap but the road to resort is dirt so staying here red dust everywhere. The food at the restaurant was ok not fabulous but not bad. The thing that is fabulous about this place is they give back to the community. They hire locals and train them and also donate to HUSK. So it’s ethical tourism and that’s a big bonus. The staff were all fantastic, warm and friendly. However even with this in mind, I wouldn’t stay again..the impression I get is once upon a time it was a winner but perhaps I missed those days.

Great place to stay a short distance from the hustle and bustle of Siem Reap! Nice cottage style buildings that are clean, spacious and nicely set back from the pool. The staff are very friendly and we have been lucky to meet and discuss the different restaurants and sights to see with various other hotel guests. If you want a nice quiet place to retreat from your daily exploring, this is a great place for you! Oh, and the food is amazing! We just decided to stay and eat 2 dinners here instead of heading back into Siem Reap.

This hotel is amazing! The room we stayed in was beautiful and full of fresh flowers. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We got a driver from the hotel to take us to Angkor wat for the day. He had cold water for us and at the end of the day he had cold lemon grass scented towels for us to cool down. I definitely recommend the spa treatments, I had a massage and a facial and wish I had time to get more. The food was delicious, the best we had in Cambodia. The destination dining was a great and delicious experience. I would definitely come back here again.

Located on the outskirts of Siem Reap main town and 10 mins tuktuk ride into the centre, this lovely little hotel has wonderful and spacious bungalow accommodation surrounding a swimming pool. The staff were very helpful and lovely. The food, although a little limited, was tasty and freshly cooked. An ideal location from which to explore the town and temples. One thing we liked was the tranquil atmosphere and the chanting from a nearby monastery. We would definitely recommend.

Full disclosure: did not stay here as a guest. However I did take a cooking class here and got a tour of the premises. The class was phenomenal - private class for me and my husband, met a local family down the street and learned how they live. It is pretty secluded so you wouldn't be able to walk to downtown Siem Reap but it's a gorgeous property, a lovely oasis. There are individual bungalows around a nice pool. The staff is incredibly friendly. I would absolutely look at staying here if I were to return to Siem Reap.

The location of the villas is 3.5 km away from the city, it was in the middle of the village precisely.||||We were looking for a relaxing and quite hotel when without knowing, there was celebration going on in that village, so we could hear the music/praying from morning till evening. ||||To our surprise, the villas were not as good as in the website (room, pool, dining, spa).||So it was a little bit disappointing at the end. ||||The bedroom was spacious as well as the bathroom. There was also outdoor shower which was nice. ||||We were looking forward to spend time at the pool. Unfortunately the pool was not well maintained. ||||The Spa, the same thing, was not well maintained. The stains were found on top of the sheet to the t-shirt that we had to wear for the massage, not too mentioned many holes in the T-shirt, I ended up wearing my own t-shirt (since we had a Khmer traditional massage, they provided us with tshirt and pants). Also the massage room was full of mosquitos, I could not enjoy the massage since I was bitten by mosquitos and itchy every where :(||||For restaurant, they have lots of menu to choose from western to Cambodia. ||Breakfast was simple though.||||We enjoyed the cooking class very much. It was worth to experience it. ||||Overall, Sojourn is a nice boutique/hotel if it was maintained properly. The staff were nice and friendly too.

We had a lovely stay at Sojourn Boutique Villas. We enjoyed being slightly out of town because the centre is pretty hectic and loud! It was nice to get away from the hordes of tourists once we were done wandering around the temples. |Staff were excellent. Very helpful and conscientious. They organised Tuk Tuks for us each day and advised on how to beat the crowds at the temples. |Only slight negative was the rooms need a little attention, the black bathrooms are starting to water mark. The pool is also a little cloudy but still lovely for an afternoon dip.
