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.

I stayed in a hostel just up the road and had a terrible night's sleep so walked down the road to find a better alternative. I stopped in to get the amazing peanut butter and banana smoothie and started talking to Tash... the next thing you know... I've booked to stay for a week. It is the perfect vibe, with an amazing menu, amazing cocktails, incredible people and even the locals go there for happy hour! I loved it so much, I didn't even bother going to Koh Rong because it was absolute paradise! Tash was the best host I've ever had and I miss her already ❤️❤️❤️

At the hostel, all rooms are fitted with a patio with a garden view. Lazy Bones offers some units with sea views, and each room comes with a balcony. At the accommodation the rooms are fitted with bed linen and towels.

It was an amazing experience to be in lazy bones. You could feel the nature at the hostel. So calm and quiet. So beautiful place. The owner was just like brother to me. He was explaining a lot of sites nearby. We had an amazing conversation. I got to know his personal experience and it was awesome. Would like to visit again.

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.

Our stay at Robinson Bungalows was truly unforgettable. Tucked away from the world, this oasis offered us a perfect escape. The bungalows were cozy, the staff welcoming, and the food exceptional. Every meal was a culinary journey, and each moment was filled with tranquility.

Situated on the beachfront in Koh Rong Sanloem and boasting a bar, The Big Easy Koh Rong Samloem has free WiFi. The accommodation features evening entertainment and a 24-hour front desk.

At the hostel you will find a restaurant serving American, British and Mexican cuisine. A vegetarian option can also be requested.

The location is amazing, you’re walking out to one of the best beaches I’ve seen in South East Asia, pictures do not do it justice, there are small fish that swim around your feet as soon as you go into the water. There’s wifi in the dorms which is nice, and they also have lemongrass oil burning in the evening to keep it smelling fresh. Their rice bowls are so SO good (my fav was the gyros bowl) they also do a really nice coffee frappe and frozen passion daiquiri.

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.
