Koh Rong Beach Hostel and Bungalows

The hostel looked amazing from the outside, right on the beach front plenty of places to sit. However, as soon as you went inside your room it was clear they only cared about how it looked from the outside. Dorms issues - room was never cleaned so was filthy - no lock on doors and only 4 lockers for a 6 bed dorm - friends had bed bugs and the receptionist resolution was to move them into a different bed in the same dorm. Then an hour later some poor other traveller was put in the bed bugs bed ….. -If the door was left open for more then 10 seconds loads of flys and mosquitoes would come in -sand absolutely every where - ac was leaking and nearly broke- however was fixed and dealt with very quickly. - the workers didn’t have a toilet in their room so would come in and use ours at random times. Bit odd. - WiFi didn’t work Bathroom issues- Water was yellow out the tap (when it worked as the water and electric cut out at least once a day) - the door was broken so had to be slammed shut which would wake everyone up in the night - never cleaned so bin was full which started to create a smell - NEVER any toilet paper ( I had to ask every day or just help myself to the cleaning cupboard) The cleaners may as well be called gardeners as all the did was sweep the leaves. They did managed to miss broken glass in the sand which nearly sliced my friends foot open though. Was very impressed to see the dead cat was removed within 24 hours which was outside our dorm. Thought if it was anything like the room it would be left there for 4 days. Would only come in and change the bed when someone left and maybe empty the bin next to the door if you were lucky… (not even sure if they ever cleaned the sheets as has a weird smell) The food and outside was lovely and was a good location. But that lack of attention to the dorms was ridiculous. Maybe in the bungalows it would be cleaner, I’m guessing it’s the hostels main focus from reading these 5 star reviews. Unfortunately can’t say we had the same experience. 2 nights max would be plenty if desperate.

Worst place I have ever stayed. BED BUGS everywhere staff use your toilet and shower all day everyday which is filthy made me feel sick bins were never changed and rooms stunk / beds weren’t cleaned we asked for our room to be cleaned multiple times and they wouldn’t. I ordered breakfast from there and one of their children came over and started eating MY pancake. If door is left open for 2 seconds your room is filled with about 200 mosquitos and that’s not even being dramatic. 0 star rating

Good location and staff were great fun at the beach bar on an evening. However, rooms were not very clean and got bitten so much by bed bugs during the night-this is to be expected on this island but just be warned!
