Had a good stay here, staff were lovely, dorms clean and the food was good. Doing the tour through the hostel was a good way to meet people otherwise it’s a little quiet in the evenings. Would recommend!

Nice hostel, nothing fancy, but was fine for 2 nights. Was clean and the rooftop bar was a great place to relax and get food/drinks. The room was kept really cool with the ac which was great. The tour I booked through the hostel was really good too. The only things that concerned me were that the dorm doors didn’t lock and that the showers on the bottom floor had curtains rather than doors so it didn’t feel super secure

Couldn’t fault it. The deluxe dorms were spacious, clean and comfy. Had lockers for valuables and space under the bed for your big rucksack. Bathrooms were always clean too. Rooftop did good food and drink and was a socialble area. Did the half day tour with the hostel and really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend if you’re visiting Battambang.

I thought this was a nice hostel for a quiet part of Cambodia. The rooftop bar was lovely and the day tours arranged by the hostel are great. Only negatives are I don’t think 1 shower is enough to be shared within a 12/14 person dorm. It was very often difficult to find a free shower. And secondly, you can be a bit stuck if you want to be social or make a call past 11:30PM. With the upstairs bar shutting, reception asking you to leave and no social spaces available - it can be a bit tricky.

decent hostel, not very safe as rooms not locked and anyone can just walk through the main door

The dorms do not lock so I did not feel safe overnight. There is also only one toilet/shower in the 14 bed dorms which isn’t ideal

A decent little hostel not far from the main part of Battambang. The staff were always good vibes - especially the guy on the evening shift!! Great to chat to about general stuff as well as being helpful with bookings. Rooms were big but they were proactive at keeping them cool. Didn’t have an issue with there only being one shower and toilet per room. Overall a great stay!

After reading the reviews about the bedbugs, we still gave it a try. Please don't go here until they fixed the bedbug issue. I've been bitten all over my legs!! Horrible that the owner is denying it in the comments on the other reviews :(

+ Very friendly staff, in a fantastic location in Battambang. Rooftop was nice and with a good menu. Clean throughout.

- The temperature in the rooms is not managed very well. The air conditioning is turned off in the day but is manually set to run throughout the night. This means it does get extremely cold in the night. There are blankets available but it could be controlled better.

+ Room was clean and staff were very helpful and polite. Also helped with medication we needed refrigerating and were very accomodating. Rooftop bar was good place to chill and food was decent there

- Top part of wall had light holes and curtains didnt go that high so meant any morning daylight came directly through so sleeping in was difficult

+ Loved that you can book everything through the hostel, we arrived that we were already signed for the day tour the next day. A tour that was lovely
