We spent a week at the hostel. The setting was exceptional: sunsets over the sea, snorkeling accessible directly from the restaurant terrace… One small drawback: the mosquito nets had holes and there was quite a bit of noise at night (dogs, karaoke…).

We loved our stay here! The island is amazing, and you get the best sunset view from the hostel! We stayed in the private room, which was nice. Also really recommend the snorkeling right by the hostel.

The most budget dorm room you'll find on Sanloem. We stayed in the downstairs dorm room closest to the street and I couldn't sleep well for any of the nights as there is no door to the room (just a curtain) so at any moment anyone from the street can just walk into the room. As a female traveler this made me feel uneasy but I was luckily staying in the room together with a male friend. Alone I would've felt unsafe to stay here.

Before you visit ask yourself —- are willing to evolve with the spaces you are travelling to ? Yes ? Then this place is for you. If Koh rong is another spot on SEA checklist that you want to consume then please walk down the road and check yourself in a resort and spare this honest business. It’s a wonderful hostel run by the loveliest folks. Can’t believe this has to be said but stop demanding luxury everywhere, that’s how gentrification starts and it’s already taking a toll on this ...

Nice place, special when you have good weather and also a few more people, was there kind of by my own nice experience but bit of the path, specially I was there the prepared the road so it was not that easy cause it was rainy as well so everything was super slippery, but when it's fixed it will be definitely great for having good snorkeling and nice sunsets

this property is not for the weak😭 yes it has stunning views but the hostel dorms were not okay!! There is one fan per 3 beds, the rooms are CRAZILY too hot. There was stray dogs running around the dorms all night and barking. Frogs, geckos, mozzys which we could hear all night, the mozzy net is full of holes. Idk how people have slept well here or have enjoyed it! I had to leave as soon as I saw daylight to sleep on the beach and move to new hostel. if you’re okay with this then go for it!...

It is VERY cheap and basic. Open dorms, i.e. they have curtains, not walls; and nothing is lockable. And you do have to climb up a hill. But the place is beautiful, the staff is nice, and I honestly really loved my stay here. So it will come with some inconveniences, but I still totaly recommend.

One of my favourite hostels I’ve stayed in Southeast Asia. Great staff, very clean, and as long as you’re okay with an open concept the dorms are great! Super cool spot to vibe.

If you have ever wanted to live in a treehouse overlooking the most beautiful water you’ve ever seen, this place is for you. The common space is comfortable and provides endless opportunities for the perfect picture. The swimming spot off the side of the hostel is better than the beach tbh. Only downside is that the WiFi does not reach to the sleeping area and my locker did not have a door.

Amazing bar on an amazing island! Fantastic views of sunset from bar, and small seafront area at the bottom of the cliff to go snorkelling. Very impressive bar with range of seating, lounge beds and and ‘lookout towers’. Given it’s in an (almost) untouched Cambodian Island facilities are impressive. Note bedrooms are in a three walled room with a curtain - basically open to outside temperature and no AC, but there are fans in the dorms with varying levels of coverage depending on the be...

Eigenlijk vind ik dat dit hostel een te hoge beoordeling krijgt. Het is een heel basic verblijf met een mooi uitzicht en rustige atmosfeer, maar daar is verder ook alles mee gezegd. Niet erg sociaal, insecten netten met gaten erin en de eigenaar geeft je niet echt een welkom gevoel (de vrijwilligers overigens wel). Ik had liever in een van de andere hostels geslapen.

OMG for sure one of the coolest hostels ive stayed at. You are basically sleeping outside which is a cool enough sleeping arrangement as it is. The hostel is very charming and it has legendary lounging area. The bathrooms were clean. Overall a great stay if you like outdoorsy, unconventional stuff.

Weinig privacy en veel geluid door de open slaapzaal, jammer dat er verschillende gaten in het muskietennet zaten waardoor ze weinig hielpen. Personeel is erg vriendelijk, de eigenaar niet zo.

The hostel was nice and an authentic jungle vibe. The only thing is it does get super hot at night and the rooms are basically outside which no doors, only a small curtain

Beautiful views and the beds were efficient, I felt safe and enjoyed it! Though beds are basically outside but not as bad as people made out to be. Staff were lovely and right by us was a snorkelling place !! Would recommend

I really enjoyed the chill vibe of this place! The view from the balcony was also really beautiful. The room was comfortable and clean. As a solo female traveller, I still felt secure and comfortable with the curtain door situation but understand that some people might not be. The only downside was that the food was a bit expensive and it was further away from the town centre (but definitely still walkable).

Great view, I had No problem with the beds, but just be aware that its just a room with a curtain, so halfway outside. 🌞
