Rainbow Lodge

We stayed at the lodge with a teenager for three days and we all had a fantastic time. It feels magical to be able to live in the middle of the jungle ind a lodge that is only accesible by boat. It is nice that the lodge is run by locals that give back to the community by investing in local schools and waste management. The people at the lodge are passionate about the place and the wildlife in the area. It was extremely interesting to lean about the history of the lodge and their vast knowledge about the wildlife. We cannot recommend the Rainbow Lodge enough. It was truly a magical time in our travel through Cambodia.

We were looking for somewhere to chill.. away from the hubbub and usual tourist stuff. We found it! Rainbow Lodge is off a bridge, up a river and with a welcome as big as bus. The staff, headed up by Gee, are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble and everybody is friendly and relaxed. The accommodation is exactly as I expect an eco lodge to be, with an eye to the sustainable with excellent fresh food provided and cooked to perfection! It’s a great place to relax and take the foot off the gas… but there’s plenty to do! The bird watching is amazing with many and varied avian visitors. You can kayak or swim in the river, if that’s your bag, but a highlight for us was a 2.5 hour trek through the forest with a most amazing guide, Chek, a young man passionate about his own environment, as well as the planet. He guided us to the splendid waterfalls, which gave much cooling relief after the trek. Not only did he remove some pretty impressive arachnids, gently, out of our path, he also tracked down a gibbon - a rare treat along this path - which was very exciting. We also enjoyed the company of other guests. Some lovely families, now living in Phnom Penh, and also a couple, originally from Sri Lanka, who were professional-level birders and took some gorgeous photographs of the large array of visiting birds. All in all, we had a great time here… only a few days… but a fabulous experience. Our thanks to the whole team.

Beautiful place in Cambodia, the place practice sustainable ecotourism. Refillable water bottles are provided. The room are sparkling clean and a lot of nature around. Perfect for people who appreciates simplicity and nature.

Beautiful and unique location for the ultimate jungle experience. The food is very good. Great staff, very passionate about nature and eager to share their knowledge during tours and in the lodge. Highly recommended for nature lovers!

This is the most amazing place that we have ever visited or stayed. We came here from Vietnam and Siem Reap and I was so worried because it had been so hot everywhere we had been. It was so much cooler at Rainbow Lodge than anywhere else we stayed. The staff were so kind and knowledgeable, and the rooms were clean and comfortable. Being in this place, surrounded by untouched nature, was the most relaxed I have been in recent memory. We saw wildlife, we rested, and we were beyond comfortable. On top of all of this, the food was delicious!! I cannot recommend Rainbow Lodge enough- this is a must do!

we have just returned from a wonderful stay at rainbow lodge - a real highlight of our trip to cambodia! Being picked up by a boat to get the the lodge is an experience in itself and you get to see the beautiful river. The lodge is itself is tranquil and very relaxing - Piarom and his family and staff are the perfect hosts, friendly and willing to share their passion for nature and the wildlife. We hiked to the waterfall and swam and also enjoyed some kayaking on the river - both really recommended. The food was delicious and the sunrises over the river spectacular. This is a really special and unique place - we loved it and hope to go back!

Rainbow Lodge was a magical place to spend a few days: I've rarely felt so much that we were staying with friends. Piron and Gee, who run the Lodge, are wonderful. Piron took us on two glorious day trips: kayaking through mangroves, where we collected mangrove fruit to plant later. Then we hiked up through the jungle to reach waterfalls where we swam, jumped and played for a long while before the boat came to take us home. ||Gee, the expat Englishman who fell in love with Cambodia, is an extraordinary naturalist, and I hope that by the time I go back, he'll have his planned photos up of the two insect species he's identifed and which are named after him. He's also published the first catalogue of Cambodian butterflies. Whether from the central bar platform, or from the viewing tower high in the jungle canopy, he'll help you identify the calls of birds, geckos and other creatures around. ||The food was wonderful. The wildlife is amazing. We adored swimming in the river, playing card games in the open-sided bar area, listening to the geckos at night. The whole experience was a highlight of a brilliant Cambodian adventure.

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely unforgettable! The service was exceptional, with every detail carefully taken care of. The food was simply delicious—every meal was a delight! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The hotel’s location is breathtaking, surrounded by lush jungle and a stunning river. One of the highlights of our trip was the canoe tour through the mangrove forest, which was both serene and adventurous. The natural beauty of the area is unmatched, and the hotel team’s deep knowledge about Cambodia’s nature and culture added so much to the experience. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of comfort, adventure, and connection to nature, this hotel is the place to be. We can’t recommend it highly enough and hope to return soon! It was our favorite place in Cambodia. Please support these people to save and rescue this wonderful place Tatai River with your visit. They do everything to protect this wonderful place on earth. This is big difference to all the other places at the Tatai River.
