Family Batcave Homestay is a guest house in Krong Battambang, Cambodia, set near Phnom Mountain Phnom Sampo and surrounded by rice fields. Accommodation includes bungalows and tents; one tent sits above a pond and comes with a ceiling fan, a hammock outside and a small table. It is run by Saro and his family, who cook and serve meals on site.
The homestay works as a base for the sights around Phnom Sampov. Saro guides tours covering the Killing Caves, the Buddhist temple, the Monkey Forest and the Bat Cave, and has taken guests to a lesser-known viewing spot for the bat exodus. He also arranges transport: pick-ups from town on arrival, taxis, buses onward to destinations such as Siem Reap, and tuktuks to the station.
It suits travellers who want a quiet, rural setting rather than a hotel in the town centre, and who are happy to eat with the family and talk about local culture and custo...

The homestay stands near Phnom Mountain Phnom Sampo, on the Krong Battambang side, in a rural setting among rice fields. The mountain is known for the Bat Cave Phnom Sampov, open daily from 4 to 7 PM, with the bats flying out at around 5:30 to 5:40 PM. The Killing Caves, a Buddhist temple and the Monkey Forest are also close enough to cover in a single local tour.

Taxi drivers have had trouble finding the property from the street address alone, so follow the Booking.com directions exactly when arriving by taxi. Saro can arrange a pick-up from town on arrival, as well as taxis, tuktuks and onward bus tickets. Tours of the temple, caves and bat cave are organised through the host; one guest reported paying $15 for a tour covering the Killing Caves, Buddhist temple, Monkey Forest and Bat Cave. Meals are prepared by the family on site.
Saro was lovely. Really helpful and gave us a tour of the Killing Caves, Buddhist Temple, Monkey Forest and Bat Cave all for $15. Also organised our taxi out, very helpful and really good English. Important to note that to get to the homestay in a taxi, follow the Booking.com directions exactly as we had some issue giving our taxi driver just the address.
Saro and his family are undoubtedly the best hosts we’ve met during our stay in Cambodia. They’re helpful, cheerful, and warm-hearted. Saro speaks English very well and recommends the best places to visit in the area. Guesthouse is located a 3-minute walk from the famous bat cave, so you can watch this amazing spectacle every evening. It’s worth noting that Battambang itself is relatively far away, but since the city didn’t make much of an impression on us, this wasn’t a problem. We stayed in a ground-floor room because the bungalows were fully booked. It was clean, comfortable, and air-conditioned. You can rent bicycles on-site (though, to be fair, they were in pretty poor condition). There are no scooter rental shops in the area, but Saro lent us his own for the whole day! Many attractions are nearby, though for us, the best experience was simply riding around the surrounding villages, rice fields, and around the lotus lake.
had a really enjoyable stay with Saro and his family! i happened to run into their family gathering when I arrived and so we ate together which was very impressive! during my stay of four days, mostly I ate with saro’s family which make feel like I belong here. and also saro is very knowledgeable and friendly, we have talked deeply about lots of local culture and custom.i wish I could come back someday!
Had a lovely stay with Saro and his family. Our tent above the pond was very cute and he had a nice set up going in there. Enjoyed the meals prepared by his wife. We also really enjoyed doing the temple and bat tour with Saro, he was very knowledgable and took us to a lesser known spot to see the exodus.
Saro and his family are such welcoming, helpful, and fun people! I stayed in the tent, and it was very nice with a ceiling fan, a hammock outside, and a small table. On my last night there was a party for Saro’s sister in law’s birthday, and I was invited to join. What a great time! Saro also booked my bus for me to Siem Reap and my tuktuk to the station. Everything was smooth and easy — I was very well taken care of. Thank you!
