Would have been perfect if there was hammocks and chill space in the shade in the garden.

Friendly staff, comfortable room live music relaxing by the pool. I really enjoyed my stay at karma. Its within walking distance from kampot town or 4-500 Riel's by tuk tuk.

Lighting in the room was not that great bad fluorescence lighting.

They have cheap motorbike rentals and are very helpful with booking you a bus, etc.

No river access

Very friendly staff. Good vibes and music. Good choice of foods. Nice pool and rooftop bar for sunset. Live music on Tuesdays. Very central to town.

The pool had no shade so it was not usable during mid day. Lots of people seem to use it during the morning and at dusk.

Room was clean with AC and a nice view. The whole place is open plan and it really does feel like staying in the countryside. Great staff and roof bar, in fact lots of people who don't stay at Karma Traders come just for the bar which often has live music. Good food and affordable drinks. Free water refills available.

It’s a bit too far from the center for me be sus I don’t drive a scooter , but it’s probably fine if you do. There is not much going around the hostel (coffee , food…)

There is a lot to like here =] the pool is great , the beds are suuuuuper comfy , the food is good , the place is clean , it looks nice , there is a cat going around … it’s great ! Best thing might be the staff tough =] very friendly , helpful, funny too ^^ Su was especially very nice and helpful, she made the stay even better =]

You need to take a Tuk Tuk to go to the city center (cheap) or you can rent a scooter at the reception (this is perfect to also explore the surroundings)

The swimming pool and the rooftop bar/restaurant were very nice! The staff also was very nice ! It is a good place to meet people during the events organized in the week

I didn't mind too much but the hostel is slightly outside of the city center. That makes it more quiet most of the time. But if you want to go out in the city center, you either have to get a tuktuk, rent a scooter or walk for 30mins. For me that wasn't a problem but if you want to stay more in the busy area of Kampot, this place might not be the one for you.

I loved this hostel. It got recommended to me by a girl i met in Laos and I understand why. There is a lot of social events going on in the evenings (Friday: Open Mic, Sunday: Trivia, Tuesday: Taco Tuesday) and that makes it really easy to meet new people. There's also a swimming pool with a bar that you can hang out at. The view from the rooftop bar is really pretty as well, good for watching the sunset :) I ended up coming here multiple times and always met cool new people. The staff was really nice as well! There's free water refills, which is always a pro. It's also a pretty popular spot for expats to hangout and meet. They have multiple different dorms to choose from. There is one that kind of has little boxes that your bed is in which offers the most privacy. It might also be the loudest though because they're right under the rooftop bar, so depending on how long the music plays that night, you might hear it in your dorm :) They also have dorms in shipping containers in the garden. Since they're not in the main building, it can be quieter. The first time i stayed there, i was in a 4-bed-dorm in the main building. I was fine with the room but other people might not like that the top bunks in this room didn't have curtains. These are the dorms i stayed in - there might be more options.

Absolutely fantastic hostel! My favourite hostel during my 3 month travels so far. Really comfy beds, air con, great relaxed atmosphere in the rooftop bar. If you like social but non party hostels, this is perfect!

Slightly far out of town (about 1.5km) but very easy to get a Tuk Tuk and cheap.

Really nice big room, clean, provided towels etc. bar/ restaurant had really good food and a nice friendly atmosphere. Pool area also really nice. The cafe opposite also did a great breakfast.

We enjoyed our stay at Karma Traders a lot. So much so that we extended and stayed a week in total. The pool and rooftop are great places to chill and relax. You can rent scooters at the hostel and book tours or transport. Everybody is really helpful and most of the staff are really great. They offer activities throughout the week. The location is a bit further away from the city centre but we enjoyed it a lot being a bit further away from all the hustle. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone in the Kampot area.

It was a bit far out of town.

The private room was clean and very comfortable. There is a lovely swimming pool and a rooftop bar/restaurant with very good live music on Tuesdays. The food was great. The staff were friendly, especially Sue who was so kind and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable when I was ill. Thank you!

Everything was great.

Initially booked for 3 nights, ended up extending for a full week. Great rooftop to socialise and great pool to relax. Found it incredibly easy to meet new people, which as a solo traveller, was great. Perfect blend between chill and social.
