Set only 500 metres from the main beach, Dragonfly Guesthouse offers pet-friendly accommodation in Koh Rong Sanloem. Featuring private gardens and a sun terrace, it has the on-site restaurant.

Fan-cooled bungalows are equipped with a safe and mosquito netting. Shared bathroom facilities include an option of a traditional Khmer-style bucket shower or a standard shower head and a toilet.

First of all, the location of this guesthouse is really exceptional, you'll find the most beautiful garden where you can watch the sunset and sip some excellent juices (big up to the banana and peanut butter smoothie 😋). We ate there one evening and the food was all excellent. We came for a short break on a island after a three month trip, we extended our stay by three more nights (and it wasn't enough) because we felt so good there, our hosts were so kind... we felt at home as soon as we arrived. This island has a magical energy and Tasha and Christen make this place even more magical, thanks to their welcome and their kindness.

Love this place. I was there for about a week and a half. Just walk down the stairs from the bar and you find a coral reef with lots of fish swimming around. Even though I was sick, I really enjoyed the place.

Located along a private stretch of Sunset Beach, Robinson Bungalows offers accommodations in Koh Rong Sanloem. Guests can enjoy meals at the in-house restaurant or have a drink at the bar.

Wooden bungalows have straw-thatched roofs and a private terrace equipped with hammocks or outdoor furniture that open up to views of the sea. Rooms are fitted with a mosquito net and the en suite bathroom includes shower facilities.

The accommodation is set amongst trees and right on the beach. Our bungalow had a safe and electric light but was basic as we expected. The veranda overlooked the sea. Food was nice in the restaurant and a bit more expensive than mainland as we expected. Staff helpful. Charging for mobiles in the bar. No roads or traffic. Great to swim in the sea.

Best place on the island from what we saw. Very lively while still being laid back and the staff were very kind. Also the best food on the island I'm pretty sure

Featuring a garden, terrace and views of garden, Spicy23 - M' Pai Bay is located in Sihanoukville, 100 metres from M’Pai Bay Beach. The hostel features family rooms.

At the hostel each room has a shared bathroom and bed linen.

Pong and Pech are the nicest couple. I just spent the past 3 days eating meals, scuba diving with Pong and hanging out with them and they are lovely. Pech cooked the best meal I’ve had since being in Cambodia and Pong is really knowledgeable about the marine live around the island.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I've had a wonderful time at Sara! The bungalow was amazing, I absolutely loved spending time at the day beds and the swimming pool, the food and drinks were great and spending the evenings at the bar was a lot of fun and an easy way to meet new people. Most of all, it were the people working at Sara that made my stay here one I'll never forget. They made me feel very welcome, safe and at home away from home.

    The inclusive breakfasts were delicious, with loads of options available. The location was right on the beach with a lovely view. The owner sent lots of useful info before our stay and gave us a very friendly welcome. Cheap laundry service and free kayaks, paddle boards and snorkels available. Having free water refills was great too. Backpacker style accommodation, good for people who like a social bar.

    Independently owned unlike other non-Khmer owned, chain hostels on the island. The busier evening bars like Onederz can be accessed easily from here, but it's a lot more budget-friendly. It's not fancy but you get what you pay for, a good nights' sleep!

    The Cliff Hostel lives up to its name and more. Both the lodging and bar area sit high up on M'Pai Bay with the common space right on an actual cliff. The setting and nature inspired rustic architecture makes for an extremely cozy place to meet people, have dinner, and watch the sun set. We had a lovely time during our short stay. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Please note, the private rooms are bare bones. Don't expect AC, warm water, or a sink. This is a true backpacker hostel.
