Sambor Village Hotel

Very much overrated hotel . Not valued for the money changed . To start with , The hotel entrance is difficult to find , no proper parking facilities. Very basic rooms . Very basic toiletries. No bathrobe or slippers , no toothbrush or paste . For a whopping 72 usd per night even in Phnom Penh we get world class facilities. There are many other hotels in Kampong Thom offering better facilities. Breakfast is pretty basic with toast and butter. We were really expecting top notch service for the price they are asking . I would avoid this hotel for future

Fantastic boutique resort between Siem Reap and Phnom Penh, across the road from the river. Rooms were comfortable, clean and authentic. Great pool and restaurant. Highlight was the fabulous staff. Highly recommend.

Fantastic little hotel, on the banks of the Sting Sen river in Kampom Thom, between Siel Reap and Kampom Thom. The hotel has a beautiful pool, rooms are individual spacious bungalows nestled in a lush garden. The hotel is managed by a Japanese family so you can experience delicious Khmer and Japanese cuisine. Definitely recommend!

Excellent hotel in Kampong Thom, very convenient to visit Sambor prei kuk. The service is perfect, it really feels like home. It’s also a nice spot for weekends for expats living in Phnom Penh who want to explore countryside.

No complaints whatsoever. The environment, the staff, the food… everything far exceeded our expectations. But above all, it’s the staff at this hotel that truly stand out. Their smiles are just wonderful. Oh, and the geckos 🦎. Our 4-year-old girl was completely fascinated by the variety of plants around the hotel. It brought out a side of her we don’t usually see. We stayed for two nights, but we found ourselves wishing we could stay longer! Outside the hotel, it’s pure, authentic Cambodia. We followed behind kids herding cows, and everyone we met smiled and waved at us. Now, as I sit here reminiscing, I’m sipping Cambodian gin (Herbal Kulen, Mawsim) and snacking on cashews I bought on the way to Kampong Thom—sold by a street vendor. They were $5 a bottle, such a steal! I ended up buying four bottles, and wow, they were incredibly delicious. I wish I had bought more! The marinated fresh peppercorns I picked up at the airport as souvenirs were also amazing. Oh, how I’d love to go back! It’s truly a place where you can relax completely, both in mind and time. Highly refreshing!

We spent only one night here on the 2 days journey from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh. The limited time we had, we enjoyed very much. Its a lovely place, with nice bungalows in a tropical garden, with a wonderful pool, an open--air restaurant, and a lot of love for details in decoration, the furnishing etc. The rooms are lovely and comfortable, with beautiful tiles. ||For some strange reason, we had halfboard included and got served a western chicken dinner, but it was very tasty. Breakfast was very good, and the staff is really nice and friendly. It would have been good to have another night here, to enjoy more of this beautiful small hotel, and also have some time to visit Kampong Thom.

Off to Kampong Thom for work, I was arranged to stay at this hotel, so I didn’t do much research about it. Upon arrival, I was quite surprised as I never expected Kampong Thom to have such a nice place. If you love bungalow-style hotels and being connected to nature, you’re going to love this place. It’s so chill and relaxing, rustic and comfy, with lots of greenery in the hotel area, and it's right opposite the river. I felt completely disconnected from the city bustle and enjoyed my stay. 🫶 Why I love it here: Their hospitality is outstanding. The staff is so kind and friendly, and the service is excellent. There’s a pool big enough for swimming. If you want to explore the town, there are bicycles available for free. If you want to hop on a boat and enjoy the scenery along the river, that’s also free. The room is very comfortable. I loved waking up to the sounds of the countryside and birds singing. The room is clean and spacious, and I appreciate their eco-friendly concept. Everything used in the hotel is mostly non-plastic. I still miss their soap and shampoo, which are homemade and organic. They also provide free organic coffee and tea every day. Let’s talk food. Their food is mostly great, but I felt they cooked western dishes better than the local food, possibly to cater to western guests' preferences. However, I really loved their breakfast. Their omelette was excellent. 😫 Things I didn't like: There were rodents around the rooms and on the roof, most likely squirrels or rats, but they didn’t get inside the room, so it wasn’t a major issue. You might want to use a mosquito net at night to avoid malaria. There’s no bidet in the bathroom, and don’t forget to bring your own toothbrush as they won’t provide one unless you request it. In conclusion, I really enjoyed my stay and highly recommend this place.

Have been coming here many times since 2012 and nothing has changed as in…..still lovely and friendly staff, still beautifully decorated rooms, still a tranquil oasis with lovely gardens and cooling pool. If you want a break from the heat and intensity of Cambodia this is your place!
