I couldn't recommend this place enough! It is a heaven of peace. Everything there is nice, meticulous and well kept. The garden is beautiful, with loads of flowers and the view of the mountain behind. The bungalow was extremely clean, very neat, the sheets and towels fresh with the laundry smell and the bed very comfortable. They offer a clean mosquito net, towels, flip-flops, brush, soap and toothbrushes for their guests.
The food at the restaurant is good and cheap.
The owner is one of the sweetest man I have met in my travels, he speaks very good English, and is willing to help all the time. He prepared hot water for me in the evening for my tea, organized my trip to Rabbit Island, gave me information about the walk in the national park... The rest of his family is very nice as well and his little girls are very cute. Don't hesitate go there!
Great !
We chose a 2 nights-stay in a tent. The place is really pleasant, clean and calm (our tent's neighborhs for the 1st night were neither clean nor calm but well, can't blame the owners !), runned by a family of Cambodians : you kind of have the (nice) feeling you're staying in their yard !..
Owners are really lovely (received us with a couple of passion-fruit juices, asked us how we were doing and what we planned every time they saw us, at our leaving, they booked us a tuk tuk and a bus for such a reasonable price...) , every food we tasted were great... Only good points !
By the way, go straight for the pancakes, it's like amazingly fluffy !
For a simple but clean, cosy and super welcoming place to stay I can wholeheartedly recommend ‘Kep Stay Bungalows’ @kepstay on Instagram run by a young Khmer family. They live on the premises, so are there when you need help (the owners speak really good English), but will give you privacy if you feel like it. Food is cheap and very cheerful (loved the fresh spring rolls and passion fruit milk drink). Kep itself is mainly a tranquil weekend trip destination for local tourists but there are foreigners around. Still most smaller kids will wave at you cheering ‘Hello!’ when you drive past. When you’re in the area check out the Kampong Trach Caves, have some freshly caught crab (for a lovely restaurant try Holy Crab) and maybe visit Sothy’s organic pepper farm. I have just arrived in Kampot.
