initially booked for one night but ended up staying over a week. The owner is amazing and took us all over kampot during Songkran in his Tuktuk with waterguns. He showed us unique places on the tours from everything you find online and the stuff you won't. What made me love this place is what they do for the local community, underprivileged children and abandoned animals. If you stay long term you can even opt to volunteer. Highly recommend this place

Situated in Kampot, 1.3 km from Kampot Pagoda, Vimeanz @Bohemiaz features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. Featuring a bar, the property is located within 6.3 km of Kampot Train Station. The hostel has a sauna, a shared lounge and free WiFi throughout the property.

I just stayed at the new Vimeanz resort (having stayed at their equally-excellent Bohemiaz resort before). It's owned and run by the same team, and we were even allowed free use of the big Bohemiaz swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi next door. The owner (and long-term expat) Mikey continues to welcome everyone in his own, warm way. Nothing is too much trouble ... he even took me and some of the other guests into town at night to show us the "sights." A very real time was had by all, so we'll be back, for sure ...

One of the nicest hostels we’ve stayed in! Beds are really comfortable, clean and private, in spacious room with good AC. The bathrooms are large and clean, with good showers. The pool/ common area was so great and laid back, with all of the staff being so helpful and welcoming. Really enjoyed there being a mix of groups/ couples/ families here as well. Great location for getting around and into the town.

Yellow Star Hostel features a garden, shared lounge, a restaurant and bar in Kampot. Featuring a sun terrace, this property is set near attractions such as Kampot Train Station. This pet-friendly hostel also has free WiFi.

This really was a superb hostel suitable for people of all ages. The photos on Booking.com don't do it justice. The common area is like a beautiful green oasis. The room was plain but very spacious with an excellent bathroom where the hot shower actually WAS hot. Everything was spotlessly clean. The restaurant had excellent food. WiFi was excellent and worked everywhere. Location a bit out of the way unless you arrive by train, but it was worth trotting out here. Minivans will pick you up here if your onward travel is by bus.

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.

    Excellent way to experience Kampot without being right in the centre. Not too much of a long walk to the centre but you can rent a bike for very cheap from the guesthouse and its safe and easy to drive in the area.

    This place is great, especially if you are on a budget. Excellent views of the mountains and river and very peaceful away from the traffic. Its a budget backpackers place and has a great little atmosphere. Good food, cheap beer and just a short ride from town. What more could you want?
