Lodge Moni Essara Kompot

Beautiful nature. I went up to one of the surrounding hotels and rented a Kayak for 5$ for 2 hours. Super calming to just be on the water sailing through the surroundings. But as many have commented previously - unfortunately there really is a lot of plastic swimming around in these waters. I was hoping I could go for a quick dip but the water was so disgusting - I wouldn’t dare. So sad to see this beautiful place so discarded.

Great experience and beautiful atmosphere to kayak down a calm little river. The owner also gave us free fruit that he grew himself. He was so friendly and excitedly gave us a tour of his fruit garden and explained everything he would need to do to grow them and when certain ones would ripen!

We had a truly nice Kayak tour with my friend. The river is calm and relaxing. The host gave us precise informations and was really kind / funny. I recommand this activity!

Lovely hour of canoeing around the green waterways of Kampot. The river was mostly clean, just some rubbish further along. The boss was very kind and gave is some watermelon when we finished. He then sang us a little song! One of our party wasn't canoeing and he stayed and chatted with her and was very friendly and accommodating

Not worth it. Trash and debris everywhere. They need to seriously clean up the trash. It was nice, but difficult to overlook all those trash floating in the canals and waterways. There wasn't much of a green cathedral either.

This restaurant was absolutely amazing! I was in the area for two days and ended up eating here twice—breakfast the first day and lunch the next—because every dish I had was so delicious I wanted to try others. The service was great: attentive, friendly, and welcoming. My favorite dish was the Healthy Hippie, which really stood out. The atmosphere was extra charming with a couple of cats roaming around (and even some kittens!). This restaurant was a highlight of my trip.

Amazing food and views! I still can’t get over how good the food was! You need to try the chocolate fondant, it’s honestly the best Ive ever had! I’ll definitely be back ❤️

Wonderful place for cocktails and dinner along the riverfront at sunset in Kampot! Came a little before sunset and sat in the downstairs area right on the front for drinks. Cocktails were incredible, especially the honey crush! Then moved upstairs for food and got aubergine Lok Lak, pepper tofu, and vegetable Khmer curry, each of which came with rice included. All were really tasty, and highlight for us was probably the Khmer curry with a fragant, rich coconut-based sauce. Very generous portion of seasonal fruit for dessert alongside another few drinks with the meal. Plenty of seating space, location a bit out of the main town but easy to get there on a tuk-tuk. A few mosquitos about so worth putting on some repellent beforehand. All things included, good value and highly recommend a visit!

Our favourite restaurant in Kampot! We’d go back for that duck spring roll (the best!!). We expected so much from the scallops but it was mid. The duck is delicious and juicy. All the cocktails are lovely and they have a good selection of wine. I’m also a crazy fan of their chocolate fondant cake!! Staffs were friendly and skilled - and the cats are too cute and polite 😊

Great view of the mountains over the river and perfectly faces sunset. Cocktails and onion rings were great. It's not cheap, but the quality justifies the prices. Great place for a date night.

This is a must visit in Kampot, what a wonderful experience. We went 1st up in the morning and loved being with all the beautiful dogs and soon organised to return that afternoon to cruise down the river on the Tiki for sunset, more puppy cuddles and great company. Thanks for a magical experience and well done to all for giving these dogs a second chance to sit by the river all day living their best life 🫶🏼 These two Brissie girls truly appreciated our time here. 100/10

The place is really amazing, owner and staff are incredible helpful, if you are pets lover, this place is fit with you . based in Cambodia condition, I can say the owner was merged spirit in deep emotional to the pets. I support this activities. Highly recommend this place is anyone want to resecue the pets (puppy). 🐕♥️

A truly wonderful place to visit. The staff are incredibly kind, passionate, and dedicated to the dogs in their care. It was heartwarming to see how beautifully the dogs are treated and how much love and attention they receive. The iced tea was a lovely bonus, and the whole experience was welcoming and inspiring. I highly recommend visiting, spending some time with the dogs, and supporting the amazing work they do.🐾❤️

I visited High Tide twice, and it’s the perfect place for dog lovers! All the dogs here are rescued and so well cared for the owner truly understands dog behaviour and does an incredible job rehabilitating them. It’s such a wonderful, positive environment. All the dogs are friendly and full of personality I especially loved William Wallace, the Pitbull x St Bernard, he was such a sweetheart. The staff are all so kind and welcoming, and we were even given a tour of the place. Highly recommend visiting if you love dogs and want to support a great cause! 🐶

This place made our Kampot experience. It was so lovely to see all the dogs so loved and cared for. You didn’t have to pay to get in, just support them by buying a drink or cool shirt! Definitely would recommend

Their food is indeed really good. We tried their Buddha bowl and cookies as well as their mango Lassi. It has a nice artistic vibe. The only thing I wish they had was AC because we went there during a hot summer day and the restaurant is open but we will definitely come back.

What a gorgeous place with an equally gorgeous owner. The food was unbelievably good. Clearly home made, fresh and really delicious. We gobbled up our Buddha bowls. A lovely place to chill and eat good food. Positive vibes abound. We came back next day to enjoy tea and cake. Worthy of its 5 star reviews indeed. Cash only. Really clean toilet :)

A lovely cafe tucked away in beautiful Kampot! I had the Buddha bowl, a local kefir, and an Atomic Tonic immune booster & detox! Everything was phenomenal, lovely people working here too! Can't wait to try more 😋

I was here almost every day since I tried it, the buffs bowl was sooooo good and the best is the nice little garden at the back, so peaceful! The prices were western prices but totally worth it for the quality. I als did the tarot reading and I was not sure to do it, but I am glad I did as it was very supportive and well guided. I would totally recommend this place for all the offerings, and if not at least try the chocolate cookie which was addictive

This is the ideal place to go for a truly relaxing experience. We ordered the Budha Bowl. Every single component had a unique flavour. It was amazing. We sat at the back where their garden is. We swung in the hammocks for a while. We were there in the evening, the weather was perfect. They've done a brilliant job with this café. If you want incredible food, some quiet, some nature - absolutely head here. I also left my keys here 🙈. The owner was SUPER helpful in helping me find them and return the keys via Grab! You will feel warm and cared for here :))

Extremely beautiful setting. Staff were very helpful and friendly. I went on a Tuesday from 1pm because you can enjoy the steam room, dry sauna and cold plunge pool for $5.

One of the best massages I've ever had. The atmosphere is calm and peaceful. We were here with a big group and enjoyed massages, the sauna/steam, and the cold pool thoroughly. The river swim was a great bonus and the food is delicious and fresh. I will be back here again and again.

After reading so many amazing reviews about Nibi spa we took a tuk tuk out to see for ourselves. It was absolutely by far the best spa experience in Kampot and so far Cambodia for us due to its unusual location and peaceful surrounds. Whilst I had a 90 minute massage in a private hut my partner he made use of the sauna , spa , steam and pool area. He said it was the best he’s ever had and along the river also provided the best view. The owner who we were privileged to chat too was welcoming, professional and from chatting with her would never ever exploit staff, volunteers, allow any misconduct from male clients thus ensuring her clients get the most 5 star experience ever. Definitely a great half day out and I highly recommend it. Lisa and Marco From Australia

I discovered this beautiful, peaceful, and heavenly place while traveling through the Kampot area. There are amazing options for massages, relaxation, food, and drinks. There are also saunas and an ice-cold plunge pool. The incredibly kind staff and friendly owners create a wonderful atmosphere. You can easily spend the whole day here and completely relax both your body and mind.

Utterly blissful atmosphere and one of the best massages I've ever had. Can't recommend enough! I also enjoyed the spa prior to the massage, as the sun was setting over the river, and enjoyed a delicious meal of prawn curry afterwards - just wonderful from start to finish. So happy that I found this idyllic place

Signature cafe was good and this place will be catch who love to take photo

Had to running through the rain because of a matcha latte!!! The taste was one of the best i’ve had! so so amazing and unforgettable. The vibe was amazing , the atmosphere was great, so lovely and chill, the staffs was nice, and the prices are affordable. Should check it out!!

BEST COFFEE AND PEOPLE IN KAMPOT. This is the place where you finish your coffee before doing anything else - IT IS SO GOOD. I'm a coffee passionate and I love to get work done at the coffee places and for me THIS IS THE ONE. Personally, I think they have THE BEST coffee in Kampot. I had mostly hot drinks and they were more than perfect, cold ones are sweet and tasty perfect for the road in Cambodia. Staff communicates in english and they are very helping. There is one guy who seems to be a manager or anyone who is more involved in organisation and he is the person who helped us with everything, from not getting our backpack wet during Khmer New Year to where we can exchange money. He speaks perfect english and seems like a nice person to be friends with. As you can see, I highly recommend this place. Enjoy!

The whole coffee shop smells like Vanilla, that's how I remember the place after spending a couple times there. The coffee tastes nice with a beautiful Kampot vibe. Their staffs are also very friendly.

Delicious charcoal latte! Nice place to work, good AC and wifi.

An amazing local market where you can find pretty much everything. There’s food, fresh fruit, drinks, fish, meat, seafood, clothes, jewelry, and toys. You’ll also find hair salons, key cutting services, and places that repair clothes or shoes. It’s mainly visited by locals, which gives the market a very authentic atmosphere.

bizarrely not the market itself which sells fresh fruit, fish, and local clothing, but the kiosks on the north side were the only place where we could find mangosteen (at $3-$4 per kilo) and very fresh.. Lots of other Asian fruits such as sugar apple and salak (thanks to google image search!).. Really bustling in the morning with tuk tuk and motorbikes choking the roads..

*Local market with all functions, seafood, meats, clothes, fruit…etc. *crab cost 3-4us/kg, cook fee1-3us/kg,will close around pm5.

Good market with many things to eat and buy, however, less parking spots.

Good place to find better deals and you best shit at a one places has it all kind of shopping. BTW. If you want to get good picks on food come around 5am right after most vendors are set up and to avoid food sitting out longer.

Nice friendly place. A bit smaller than the main one on Hwy 3. But they make up for it with extra effort. A fair selection of new phones and even larger selection of accessories all at reasonable prices.

I find seafood in Kampot cheaper and better quality than in Kep, even though Kep is famous for its crab. Many times when I bought from Kep Crab Market, the quality didn’t match the price. I prefer buying fresh seafood in Kampot, cooking it, and bringing it back—it’s a bit more hectic, but definitely worth it for the taste. There’s also a good variety of dried seafood to choose from. If you don’t mind the smell and chaos of a local fresh market, Kampot is worth it!

Perfect English. 4 floors high with elevator. Has EVERYTHING a new house needs. From fans, matrasses to tables seats couches and smoothie makers. Good prices, excellent service. Free delivery after certain amount ;)

All fresh seafood you can find in Kampot! I found best seafood at evening time and rarely have disappointment after cook 👩‍🍳 The price out there needs to be negotiated, you gotta get good deal if you know market price and better at price negotiation. 😌😌

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stepping into the Kampot Market feels like taking a journey back in time. It is a vibrant, chaotic, and utterly charming hub that perfectly balances the needs of daily local life with the curiosity of travelers. While the architecture and the atmosphere carry a distinct "antique" and traditional feel, the energy inside is undeniable. The market is a labyrinth of commerce, selling a massive variety of products ranging from traditional fabrics and jewelry to household goods. However, the real highlight is the seafood section. The freshness is unparalleled—you can find heaps of flower crabs, squid, and river prawns, often brought in directly from the nearby coast. Whether you are hunting for the world-famous Kampot pepper, looking for a delicious local breakfast, or just want to photograph the authentic grit of a traditional Cambodian market, this is a must-visit destination. It is a
