Sam So Guesthouse

When I arrived in Siem Reap I was ill, I messaged Mrs Soltheavy in advance to let her know and to ask if it would be ok to eat in my room, which she confirmed. When I arrived I found a tray laid out with ginger, a fresh lime, and salt for a mouthwash and gargle. I was ill for 3 days, during which time Mrs Soltheavy checked on me repeatedly to make sure I had everything I needed, and check on my progress, which was a real comfort.|Sam So's is a family run guesthouse, and for me as a seasoned traveller, the difference I experienced there was tangible, I was cared for, and I felt it. |I have stayed in many hotels and guesthouses, but this was the first time I was made to feel worth their time and effort. I cannot recommend Sam So's Guesthouse highly enough. If you are looking for a friendly caring environment, you will not find anywhere better. To say I am grateful, is an understatement.

We stayed for 3 nights and had a lovely time. We arrived in Siem Reap on the night bus and the guesthouse was so accommodating, despite us arriving at 4:30am. They arranged a Tuk Tuk to pick us up from the bus station and we were able to check into our room early and then go see the temples. We also were able to easily arrange several other tours through them. The surrounding area felt safe and quiet and there are lots of coffee shops and restaurants nearby. The AC was very welcome and the breakfast was very good and included each morning. We had a fantastic stay!

Great location, in a quieter Siem Reap center Wat Bo. The owner is friendly and helpful, got all my tours and bus rides tickets + happy staff, speaks English. Clean room, comfy bed, slept well, very clean bathroom (that is important for me). I have room 319 next to the front balcony. Felt like I have my own place, super cozy! My friend got the back room, he likes a quiet room. Will come back again.

Really nice place. It is one of the best value for money places we have encountered in Cambodia, especially when considering the location. We had 2 mosquitos in our room when we got there, which we promptly obliterated. After that we did not have any issues with them. Rooms are simple, but comfortable and clean, with everything you need. They also refresh the towels every day. The breakfast is lovely, well prepared and delicious. The location is great. A 15 min walk to most things in Siem Reap town. You can hire mopeds or bikes to get to the temples. They organise yours and other activities as well, at very fair prices. The staff were perfect. Extremely attentive and helpful, we had no issues at all - no confusion, no miscommunication, nothing was late or wrong. They run a tight ship!

A simple hostel, but it really checks every box you could ask for.|Rooms are clean and comfortable, towels and water are refreshed every day.|The breakfast is simple, but very tasty and well presented.|The location is great, you can walk to most places within siemreap in less than 20 mins.|The best bit, though, are the staff. They are extremely attentive and helpful. We had no issues with anything, no miscommunications, nothing was late or wrong, nothing was missed. They really run a tight ship!

The sweetest front desk ladies were so helpful and welcoming. They set up a very last minute Angkor Wat tuk tuk tour for us and even let us check out 3 hours late since our flight was in the evening. As for the room, the bed was large and fairly comfortable, the shower had hot water, and the room had a fan and air conditioning - everything you’d need. We did not have the breakfast so I can’t speak on that. Overall a good value for your money.

Will absolutely make this my go to place to stay in Siem Reap! Everyone was so friendly, and the room was clean, spacious, and with great amenities, especially for the price!

Fantastic place with nice pleasant rooms for an affordable price. The host/owner saved our trip after having a bad experience with another hotel. We were able to book for a fair rate over the new year, she also connected us with a good tuk tuk driver who brought us to a sunset tour when nit a lot of people were driving due to the new year. Absolute life saver, if you stay here you can rely on their local connections and knowledge, transfer to bus station/Airport was also great too.
