Two Moons Hotel

Just rented a month. Had 2 to choose from, 1st in front of pool, and the 2nd on 1st floor near the bar. I picked the bar 😎 The real difference was the balcony. Not big but my size. Mini refrigerator, weekly cleaning, 24 hr, privacy, set 50m from the river road. Nice pool and plenty of parking.

We have been here for 2 months now and it's great. Rooms are well equipped with fridge and air con. I believe previous reviews must be from old management as it's great. The pool and bar are an added bonus in a town where most rooms are hostels. The are lots of TV channels also so really a great choice. English speaking management too is also a bonus.

The pictures on their own web site look very good, but after booking I read some other reviews that prepared us for the reality. ||||The hotel is quite new and well designed but is basically badly managed and run. ||There were very few guests when we were there and little sign of anyone really being in charge. The pool area is nice but run down. The loungers are either torn or have no umbrellas. The pool seemed ok. It was quite cloudy but seemed clean enough when swimming. Our condo room was a mix of good and bad. The bed was comfortable, the air con worked well and the television had many channels and good reception, and the shower was hot. It was not the cleanest and seemed quite basic and dingy. Fortunately our room was in the back of the hotel facing away from the loud music coming from the entertainment area by the riverfront. ||Instead of staying in the hotel and relaxing and reading we slept, swam and went into Kampot. ||The person who seemed to be in charge was quite helpful and they did not charge us for the third night we had booked when my daughter got sick ( nothing to do with the hotel) and we had to return to Phnom Penh. ||It is a real shame that the hotel is so badly managed as it has a lot of potential, but has just lost the plot.||There are so many better places to stay, so I would definitely not recommend the Two Moons Resort.

Almost everything was excellent about this hotel. A special thank you to Rahim, One Shot, and Smile, some of the super friendly and helpful staff. Rahim taught me a bunch of Cambodian phrases/words which he encouraged me to practice during our stay. We enjoyed a few drinks with One Shot who made us feel like friends. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. There were a few deficiencies (loose tap, and burnt out light bulb) which we only told reception about when we checked out as they didn’t detract from our stay. Fair warning though – the in-room safe is a large box on wheels under the bed. The pool was clean and refreshing and had plenty of loungers to relax in. Breakfast was average but inexpensive and the coffee was best we had in Cambodian hotel. Location was just across the street from the river and waterfront walkway and felt very safe to walk around even at night. Not far from the main part of town. We booked a few tours through the hotel and they were excellent. Orchid Tour up to Bokor Mountain was well worth the $13 USD per person and the tour guide Tuen was excellent. Note: book the Crab Boat to Kep well in advance if that is something you are interested in as they were sold out for several days so we had to take a tuk tuk instead.

We chose the hotel because of the pool and the proximity to town and on those fronts it didn't disappoint. It was so nice to have a pool when the outside temperature was well above 35 degrees! There were enough sun lounges and drinks available if you wished. We ended up staying here a little longer than scheduled due to the travel restrictions imposed in Vietnam and the hotel was very accommodating and got us a different room for the remaining time so we didn't have to change hotels. The room itself (we stayed on top floor) was spacious and clean but the air con was a bit of hit and miss. If you had it on you were cold at night as they only provided a thin sheet and without it the room was boiling. I ended up having it on and covering myself with an extra towel. In the end I kind of got used to it and it didn't detract from the stay. We didn't have breakfast in the hotel but the options looked decent. The location was good, a nice river side stroll to town. The next door hostel was quite loud late at night but I just used earplugs which are essential in Asia 😂 the value for money was excellent so I would recommend it for when you are in Kampot.

The pool area is fantastic on a sunny day. We had a 6 bed dorm to ourselves which was nice. Only issue is the room was full of mosquitoes and no nets being provided on the bunk beds. I would recommend paying a little bit more for a room in the main hotel to avoid this. WiFi was good and the location is near most of the restaurants and bars without being too noisy.

The rooms were roomy and each had a good view of the pool. The pool was nice. This hotel is an easy walk to the river and the town where there are restaurants and places to eat. Service at the hotel was poor. It took a long time to provide the simplest of snacks/food so we never ate there. The laundry service was also unhelpful so we took our laundry into town.

I stayed here for 6 nights in November and its a really lovely place to spend some time and great value too, I would stay again. It's very clean in general and the pool is a great place to spend some time. Monica and her team are all very friendly but not at all intrusive. I notice that a few had given bad reviews - If you're looking for 5* it's maybe not for you. You will need to go and pay a lot more.
