Eco-Home Siem Reap- Homestay

Caution here for the casual traveler: this delightful Phsa Kraom Market is not designed for most foreigners; it is a true functioning wet market for locals. From dawn until early evening this place is thronged by locals who come to buy their fresh vegetables, fruit, fish, and various delicacies. there are also quite a number of vendors selling prepared foods that provide low cost snacks or entire meals for families. there are very few foods that you cannot find here; the selection is staggering, especially if you arrive earlier in the day. At lunch they close off parts of the inner Market and vendors migrate to the peripheries and onto the side streets. As with any chaotic large market, it's fun to wander but it's also necessary to keep your wits about you and your valuables tucked away. Floors are often wet and uneven, signs are not in English or French. Smells and flies and levels of

Phsa Kroum Market (also spelled Psah Krom) is a bustling local market in Siem Reap, offering a true taste of everyday Cambodian life. Unlike the more touristy markets in the city, this spot is where locals shop for fresh produce, meats, spices, and street food at affordable prices. Highlights: ✔️ Authentic Local Experience – This is not a tourist market; you’ll see Cambodians buying groceries, grabbing breakfast, or enjoying a quick snack. ✔️ Delicious Street Food – Try Khmer noodles, grilled meats, fresh fruits, and traditional sweets. The fried bananas (chek chien) and num pang (Cambodian sandwiches) are must-tries! ✔️ Affordable Prices – Much cheaper than markets like Psar Chaa (Old Market), making it great for budget travelers. ✔️ Fresh Produce & Seafood – Vibrant selection of tropical fruits, vegetables, and live fish. Things to Note: ⚠️ Not a Tourist Market – Few vendors speak En

Great local market for tourists and for residents alike. Always a hot cheap snack available, a wide range of fresh meats seafood poultry and other delights such as turtle and snake. Typical market trinkets, cloth, housewares, all cheaper than the central Siem reap market.

Truly local market. A bit chaotic, but very natural in its own way. The meat and seafood area can be a bit dirty and uncomforting for some people. There are frogs getting skinned live. One frog is still jumping around after that and got chopped into pieces right away. There are various snacks and small eateries in the market. A fairly exotic experience sitting and eating along with local people.

I have just returned to Siem Reap and had a very good meal at a very basic food shop today. I eat and shop in this market area quite often. It is a bit chaotic and rough but that makes it a true Cambodian experience. Many locals shop here to take the prepared food and vegetables home. Traffic can be fairly heavy and the road has many potholes, so be careful of where you step.

A great Google Maps find in a slightly quieter part of the Siem Reap centre. The ambience had a nice rustic charm about it, but it was the food and service that stood out for us. My family and I tried several local dishes - the signature rice crackers, fried shrimp fritters, wok fried rice, and the beef lok lak. All of which we enjoyed! They saw that we were out of dipping sauce for our appetisers and didn’t hesitate to ask if we would like some more at no extra cost. Prices were also surprisingly affordable for the quality and portion size. The hospitality here is top notch, with the staff even walking us out as we left. Highly recommended for those visiting Siem Reap and are looking for somewhere more secluded yet only a stone’s throw away from Pub Street.

One of the best eateries in Siem Reap. Great local and Western food at very reasonable prices...but book in advance as its always busy. Service is probably the best we've had in Cambodia, the fit out is really cool, feels like a high end restaurant in Melbourne or London. For starters we had the rice cakes and the Shrimp. Both traditional dishes. Shrimp wasnt great but thats the dish, no faulton the kitchen. The pepper sauce with it was delicious. The sauce that came with the rice crackers was amazing and worth the price of admission alone. For mains, we had a Beef Saraman curry which you don't see on menus as often as you should. Was excellent. The Amok was one of the best I've had. The banana spring rolls were a great way to end the meal. The brownie pot however needed more ice cream as it was a little rich and dry. Was hoping it would be gooey inside but unfortunately not. Cheap

Old Maison in Siem Reap was probably the highlight of my trip to Siem Reap and Phnom Penh. In my opinion, the food prices are quite affordable, while drinks are a bit pricey (though that might be normal in Cambodia). The restaurant itself is nice and शांत, with a peaceful atmosphere. As for the food, I really loved the French fries. The fried rice gets an 8/10 — the rice was great, but the chicken was a bit dry. The service, however, was excellent. From the moment we arrived, the staff warmly welcomed us with smiles and guided us to our table. They regularly checked in to make sure everything was okay. I couldn’t finish my chicken rice because the portion was quite large, and the staff even came over to ask if there was any issue with the food — which I found very thoughtful. This restaurant truly deserves a 10/10 for its amazing team. The entrance is a bit hidden, so without Google M

Excellent introduction to local Khmer cuisine. The meatballs and rice crackers were great starters that really whet our appetites for dinner. We enjoyed the lok lak and fish amok for the mains too. The staff were all very attentive and friendly and gave us an enjoyable dinner experience. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants a taste of Khmer food.

I came to this restaurant because of the reviews... and they were not wrong. Everything was just perfect. The staff are so lovely and attentive. The decor and ambience was spot on. The menu had a great choice of dishes and it was hard to decide but in the end I went for the shrimp fritters and the saraman curry. There were 3 good sized fritters....I managed nearly 3 and they were tasty and came with a fabulous pepper dip. The saraman curry was excellent. So many flavours hitting my taste buds it was unreal 😊. Excellent value for money and I will definitely return before I leave Siem Reap.

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to and best dinning experience I’ve ever had. I was worried that they would not have any vegan options, however, they have the best vegan options I have ever seen. There is a whole separate menu dedicated for vegans. The vegan cheese was excellent! I had one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten! Our waitress Sara was amazing! She was so kind, knowledgeable about the menu, helpful, attentive to every detail to make sure everything was perfect, and gave us the best service. The whole staff was kind, professional and very attentive. The atmosphere is elegant, romantic, extremely clean, and unique. Very high end fine dinning feel, however, the price is very nice and the portion size was very good. Best place for a romantic evening, dinner with friends, or with the whole family. 10 out of 10 here!

A wonderful restaurant, it feels just like being in Italy! The staff is lovely, and we’d especially like to thank Sothea, the manager, who kindly treated us to dessert for my birthday! The food is incredible, and the pasta is exquisite. 100% Recommended 🤩

The pasta and pizzas were very fresh and beautifully presented! We had the papadelle, pesto, and pizzas and some cocktails which were delicious. Rosa our server was very helpful and kind especially as we had a toddler with us— she was so sweet and made sure he was entertained and had fun! The ambience was beautiful and very relaxing and elegant as well.

Our FAVOURITE restaurant, even over Italy! We came 3 times in our 5 nights in Siem Reap and wish this place was nearer home (eg in the UK). Everything was perfect, the setting, the food, the service and the prices so reasonable. We would probably travel back here just for this restaurant.

They have an extra completely vegan menu. Had multiple dishes and all were amazing. Great service as well. Highly recommended.

I’ve joined an open groupclass and enjoyed the experience very much! Coaches were patient and professional. They borrowed me all the equipment I needed. I find it suitable for different skill levels. If I had more time in Siem Reap I would definately come again.

Patient with beginners and very supportive. Well worth making time to visit to blow off the cobwebs or ger some training in. Just be sware there are multiple mr ly's when searching for a ride there. Make sure it is the right one ( past pub street and over the river). Highly recommend this gym.

An excellent high value authentic Kun Khmer training facility catering for all levels of experience- with excellent coaches, champion fighters training alongside and friendly professional management. This is the real deal. Thank you MR.LY Team. I’ll be baack 😊👊

Super good value for money both classes or if you just want to use the gym it's only 0.75 $ per time. The equipment is not the newest but overall it's a great place to come and train Kun Khmer, Boxing or just using the gym.

I trained at Mr Ly for two months in 2022, right as we were coming out of lockdown. It was a really memorable experience; we were doing three ten minute sparring rounds every afternoon, followed by clinching. All of that ring time pushed my abilities to a whole new level. I hope they're still training at the same intensity, and I hope to come back some day!

Walking into Ground zero Feels like an oasis. The quality of training on offer is fantastic! Professional, family friendly and encouraging on all fronts. Make sure you push yourself to get into the ice bath especially if you’ve never done it before (I was terrified but it ended up being a personal highlight of my week). The staff are so sweet and funny you can’t help but smile, be sure to ask them for recommendations. I’ve included some pictures so you can see for yourself how fresh, vibrant and delicious the meals are under the guidance of Chef and Co-owner Braeden. Couldn’t recommend this place enough and I hope life brings me back here sooner rather than later !! Ooo and if you have the chance to catch one of their Sundaze events (last Sunday of the month) then you are in LUCK, what a vibe 🥳

A really fantastic gym with great teaching and an equally good schedule. The owner is a great man as well as being a very high level fighter/coach. He set a great vibe and it made the whole place very friendly and fun to be at. I did Bjj and Kun Khmer and both were great, and the ice bath sessions were very nice in the heat. They also have a cafe to get coconut water or a smoothie after training. I will definitely go back when I’m next in siem reap

I just finished the 28-day retreat at Ground Zero. Overall, it’s been a very rich and well-balanced experience. What stands out the most is the quality and diversity of the classes. Each coach brings a completely different personality and teaching style, which makes the training feel holistic rather than repetitive or one-dimensional. You’re constantly exposed to different approaches, which keeps the body and mind engaged in a very natural way. Bokator brings a strong traditional martial arts foundation. And Chorrvy has a soft but strong approach, indulgent in energy but with high expectations. There is a calm intensity in the way she teaches that helps you progress without feeling pressured. As for the Kun Khmer: Jort offers smooth, dynamic sessions with a strong focus on pad work, making the training fluid and technical at the same time. Dennis is very motivational but also extremel

I had a great time here! I took the Warrior Movement class and Dennis was an amazing instructor who really cared about my experience. I got a good workout in and also really enjoyed connecting with the friendly staff. I hope to come back!

I was immediately welcomed in the warmest way by regulars and borders, inviting me to join them at their table and their training. It felt like walking into a ready made community built for the nervous first timer. I was immediately confident enough to sign up for the month membership. The Kun Khmer training is fantastic, fun, and hard work. Dara (sp?) sits at the end of the session to discuss what went well and what needs work. I’ve never done yoga before but that doesn’t matter as the guidance is gentle and comprehensive. The setting is beautiful, the staff are kind and funny, and the food and drinks delicious. It really is an exceptional space and the most welcome find in Siem Reap. I’m looking forward to going back tomorrow for another double session of yoga and Kun Khmer. 😀

We went to Wild together with my girlfriend for Valentine's evening. We had a great time! The atmosphere is really peaceful & cosy with nice décor. Cocktail are creative and food is delicious. These are not typical spring roll, they really put effort into the menu. The staff is much more professional compared to other well established places in Siem Reap. The owners were not there on that night but things were running super smoothly. I was also able to pay with Google pay / credit card which is worth mentioning in Siem Reap. Overall this was our best diner in Siem Reap. Will be back next time to taste the deserts

Wow!! This restaurant is a MUST if you are ever in Siem Reap. Loved the freshness of the fresh rice paper spring rolls. We chose Monsoon Rainbow and the first mouthful was an explosion of flavour! For the deep fried spring rolls we chose King Jayavarman. The different texture and simple flavours contrasted beautifully to the fresh rolls. As others have suggested it’s a great option to pick both the fresh and deep fried when dining. We finished off with dessert, and couldn’t pass the Banana Wonder Spring Rolls. They were amazing and the accompanying sauces complimented so well. The restaurants beautiful decor and garden setting made the whole experience a wonderful experience.

We had an excellent experience! It’s a fun concept based on many different types of spring rolls. If you’re a spring roll enthusiast (we are!) you’ll have a great time, and even if you’re not, they might be able to convert you 😉 Super good food, beautiful decor and ambiance, friendly and fast service, this place is so good. I wish we could have gone a second time, but we were visiting and didn’t have a chance!! Oh well… Thanks guys, we really enjoyed it 🙏 I got the “mama mia” rolls and also the vegetarian option on the Khmer menu. (Oh also, there are vegetarian options 👍👍). The mocktails were great too, I got the “California Kiss” and loved it.

My husband and I came to Siem Reap for four days, and by a happy coincidence, out of all the places on my list, we chose Wild as the very first spot to eat. We loved it so much that we ended up dining here every single day—either in the bar itself or ordering delivery to our hotel 🥰 The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Our waitress was especially sweet, and the team’s overall sense of hospitality truly stood out—it felt genuine, warm, and effortless. The food was absolutely delicious. We especially loved that many dishes had traditional touches, which made the experience feel both authentic and exciting. We honestly wanted to try everything on the menu—and ended up overeating more than once, simply because we wanted to savor these flavors as much as possible while we could. I already know I will deeply miss my favorite spring rolls… and perhaps never taste anything quite l

Creative and tasty twists on spring rolls along with good selections of drinks. I am surprised with their fresh rolls creations. Enjoyable and nice! Tried and enjoyed three of their fresh rolls. My favorite is the Monsoon. Highly recommended.

This establishment provides a valuable opportunity to observe the creation of traditional Cambodian crafts firsthand. Visitors are able to walk through the designated workshop areas and watch the skilled artisans as they work. This open layout allows you to see the intricate crafting process right in front of you, offering a clear and educational look at the specific techniques required to produce these regional arts. After viewing the live demonstrations, guests can proceed to the on-site store where the finished products are displayed and available for purchase. The shop features a wide selection of authentic, handmade pieces that serve as excellent souvenirs to take home. Having the option to buy these traditional crafts directly from the source is highly convenient and ensures authenticity. The facility is well-organized, maintaining a logical flow from the manufacturing stations to

Went in off peak season and got a personalized tour of the facility. They do stone, wood, and metal carvings with another section that does silk weaving and another one painting. All are explained in great detail, and you can walk through the workshops. There is also a station you can try carving a piece of stone. The gift shop is very large and has samples of what they do there. Entry is free. Takes about 45 mins for the tour. Prices are higher than other places, but this is also legitimate and from the artisans themselves. They can ship worldwide. Lots of Buddha stuff but they also have shawls, stone carvings, paintings, and a few locally made clothes. Worth stopping by if you have a hour to fill. The facility has been there over 30 years from what I understood.

Had absolutely amazing experience with a guide during the workshop showing. The people are beyond talented and very welcoming. The sculptures, silk workshop and painting are breathtakingly beautiful and represent Cambodian culture well. Couldn’t help but found myself thinking about attending workshop myself. Highly recommend. You can also visit coffee shop and buy items in a store

I went to the Artisans D’Angkor is a great handcrafted center and professional sculpture with wonderful things event shopping. It was convenient for souvenirs if everyone expected to looking for. I highly recommend this place and need.

Fantastic place, 100% recommend!! Beautiful sculptures in Wood, Stone, Copper and woven silk fabric, great information and layout, very impressed, really enjoyed my time there, all the artisans were very welcoming and happy to show their work and allow photos!!

6 STARS! Beautiful! Service wonderful, food delish (could live on the fish and carrot cake - how is that piece of heaven vegan! ) mojitos (brilliant choices and beautifully made) and the coffee were outstanding. Went back and it’s consistently outstanding. Well done! Thank you. I think this might be the best place to eat in Siem Reap.

Our dining experience at HAVEN was easily one of the highlights of our time in Siem Reap. We went as a large group of 20 people, and we were blown away by the execution—every single person's food arrived all together and perfectly on time! Every dish was exceptional, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The service was flawless—attentive, warm, and deeply welcoming. A huge part of what makes this place so special is the owner. She was incredibly attentive throughout our meal, and it is so clear how much genuine pride she and her husband take in everything they do here. That dedication shines through in HAVEN. Knowing that this beautiful restaurant operates as a training school to empower local youth, teaching them invaluable life and work skills to secure a bright future, makes dining here feel incredibly meaningful. It’s rare to find a place where world-class hospitality mee

Absolutely amazing food, so good myself and my partner came back a second time! I think it's the best curry I've ever tasted! The concept behind the restaurant is fantastic and the owners are an inspiration! So inspiring that this is a training restaurant helping disadvantaged young adults learn lifelong skills they can carry with them. Knowing that you are contributing a small bit makes the food taste all the nicer 🥰 You have to try!!! 1000%

This restaurant wasn’t on my list. I noticed it while walking to Bean Embassy Roastery next door. The inviting garden setting caught my attention, and since it was lunchtime, I decided to give it a try. The beef salad was beautifully presented, almost like a piece of art on the plate. But what stayed with me the most wasn’t just the food, it was the people. I still remember how warm, kind, and genuinely welcoming they were. I had an issue with my payment at first, and the staff handled it with exceptional patience and calmness. They were helpful throughout and made what could have been a stressful moment feel easy and supported. I’m really glad I ended up dining here and got to meet the owners and the team. You all made my time in Cambodia feel even more special, and it’s the kind of warmth that makes me want to come back again. Sending love from Singapore ❤️❤️❤️

Came here three years ago and came back recently! Delicious food in an amazing garden-vibe ambiance! Staff were very helpful and friendly, and the owners are lovely to come over for a quick chat. I'll come back for more vegan tasting!
