Koh Rong Homestays

"Good sized double bedded jungle bungalows with mosquito nets, basic but with a nice sized terrace. The property is huge, with its own private beach and large restaurant bar area, and only a 15 minute walk from the main pier in Koh Rong. The prices were a little higher than the bungalows we've experienced in Otres for example, even higher during high season, which would have been a deal breaker for us budget travellers. Lucky we came during the low season, but due to it being low season, there was construction work everywhere (they were building concrete roads and new bungalows) which meant debris and noise during the day. We were woken up by the sound of concrete padders around 8:30am. Also during the rainy season, the bungalows tend to be extremely humid, with nothing drying overnight - not even bikinis! Bugs are a given they're in the jungle, but my friend had bed bugs on his bed. We were lucky with ours. The staff are cool, they're lovely and helpful, great place to rest for a few days (and to party as you're quite central to the action), as long as you're wiling to fork out a few extra dollars. I'm sure this place would be even more wonderful once the works are completed and in the dry season! "

"This guesthouse is right on the beach and just at the end of the village. It’s far enough to escape the noise of the loud music from the bars but close enough to being in the village in 2 minutes. Our first room was on the other side so we always had to sit on the balcony above reception to use our phones. But we moved room 10, right over the reception desk and WiFi was great! Beds are very comfortable and clean. Mosquito nets are functional. Bathrooms were clean and showers had great pressure. Limited to 1 min showers because we’re using the locals drinking water to shower in. The cleaning staff was very nice and helpful when you needed extra things like toilet paper towels, soaps and your room swept out of all the sand. The males at reception very cold and rude. A friend borrowed my sandals to trek the jungle and left them with reception. I come to find my sandals disappeared. Only problem i had with Smile guesthouse, otherwise it was great!"
