Templation

We spent five days as guests at Templation Siem Reap.||The rooms were immaculate, with staff cleaning and checking them twice daily. The beds and pillows were exceptionally comfortable, dressed in high-quality cotton sheets. Guests received a full turn-down service each evening. All power points accommodate multi-region plugs, so adaptors weren't necessary.||I was initially hesitant to book with Templation given the abundance of cheaper accommodation options, but the quality of service elevated our stay from mere lodging into an almost meditative retreat. Having a private pool in the tropics is virtually unheard of, and the main pool is truly beautiful. I shall spend a long time reflecting on those mornings taking coffee poolside at dawn, listening to the sounds of the jungle and watching squirrels dart across the overhead canopy.||I'm certain the kitchen staff have French classical training. Whilst Siem Reap offers no shortage of excellent dining establishments, if you're truly seeking to unwind, the meals and cocktails on-site are faultless. We typically found that taking a tuk-tuk for sightseeing in the mornings left afternoons free for swimming and perhaps the spa, with dinner at Templation providing the perfect end to a genuinely relaxing day. You could easily spend weeks following this routine and barely scratch the surface of everything the area has to offer.||All the staff are genuinely lovely people, and before our stay I would never have imagined that Buddhist concepts of compassion and kindness towards all creatures could be so beautifully woven into the hospitality experience. Templation has a lounge with an expansive view overlooking an enclosure where guinea pigs, rabbits, and tortoises eat and play, and occasionally two of the most beautiful, shy cats make their presence known. In hindsight, that touch of compassion was as integral to our experience of unwinding and recharging as the refinement and natural setting.||We could not have hoped for a better experience and we can't wait to return.

Stayed in a Jungloo and it was immaculate. The entire Templation property is gigantic. Every angle of the pool area, covered deck, and restaurant are top tier and we could have spent days enjoying them. The staff is always available and treat you like royalty. After we checked out, they let us use a spa room shower which was very kind. They can easily coordinate any tours you want and airport transportation. There was even a friendly old tortoise who hangs out in one of the gardens. After learning so much about Angkor we definitely plan to come back and stay here again.

What a fantastic place. Just a short ride from the chaos of SR. Everything here was fantastic. An amazing room that was kept incredibly clean. Very attentive and friendly staff. Wonderful breakfast and service. One of the better places we’ve stayed

Our tour guide Mr. Sothea made the Angkor tour special. I could have spent days learning about the history of Cambodia with him. Templation is flawless, between the immaculate (and huge) estate and attentiveness of every staff member. I was blown away by the fine details of this place. Staying in a Jungloo was 100% clean and made the experience even more memorable.

We stayed here as a family in the two bedroom pool villa. I adored the open air bathroom and. All our visitors.. frogs, snails etc.||The hotel is full of rabbits hoping about, wildlife and the sound of jungle hums. The food was delicious- fresh, exotic and beautifully presented. The staff are excellent. We loved the pool area with tasteful floating cabana bed and a boat to play on. Just wonderful!

Good - not great. Definitely not 5 stars. Here’s the summary: ||1) solid service (excluding Danil) |2) weird smell in room |3) good breakfast |4) staff will absolutely do the bare minimum expectations for a 4-star resort but definitely not a 5-star hotel. ||They’re new and up-and-coming but growing pains (eg one staff member said he will give us insight on Night Market and 30-minutes later, when we followed-up, we found out he left for the week).

This exquisite, magical hotel is situated between the town of Siem Reap and the temples of Angkor Wat, near the Botanical Garden. It is beautifully appointed, with a huge lake-like pool, a Cambodian country theme to the lush landscaping (there is a traditional wooden boat you can paddle around the pool!), high end linens and toiletries in the rooms, and a really excellent restaurant with the prettiest and tastiest food I had anywhere in SE Asia. The staff are incredible in every department. I had a series of massages at the spa that did more to correct a problem with my shoulder than years of chiropractic work and even orthopedic surgery have achieved - the therapist intuitively focused on the problem area and worked on it with an expert combination of pressure points and different massage modalities, rather than going through the motions of a perfunctory full body massage. I honestly felt like I was in the hands of a healer whose genuine care was transmitted through her hands. The front desk was wonderfully helpful and accommodating - we arrived late one night with no reservation trying to find an alternative to the rooms I had booked in town (Siem Reap was very loud because unbeknownst to me, the Water Festival was taking place that week). Templation was able to accommodate me and my parents in two beautiful rooms, and upgraded us to a 2 bedroom villa with a private pool for the final two days of our stay. The daily included breakfast is a la carte but unlimited, with both Cambodian and western options, and the hotel made a lovely packed breakfast for us when we left at 4:30 am one day for a sunrise visit to the temples. The housekeepers and groundskeepers maintain the property impeccably, and there are awesome special touches like a small, cozy library of books about Siem Reap, Angkor and Khmer culture, and regional history in multiple languages. I cannot say enough good things about this hotel - honestly, with the Grab app making it so easy to grab a car or Tuktuk anywhere you want to go and the gate of Angkor Wat only 15 minutes away, I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else while visiting this area.
