About Molyka Lodge

Molyka Lodge is a small hotel in Banlung, in northeastern Cambodia, set in a quiet residential part of town within reach of a well-known lake. The grounds are planted with gardens, trees and shrubs, and there is a large swimming pool at the centre of the property. Rooms are air-conditioned.

The lodge is owner-run: Tep, the owner, speaks fluent English, handles the welcome himself and cooks breakfast each morning. Food is available on site, and some of the vegetables used in the kitchen are grown organically on the property. Guests are brought refreshments by the pool and offered cold water on returning from trips out.

The combination of a pool, air-conditioned rooms, on-site food and a calm setting away from the busier parts of Banlung suits couples, families and travellers using the town as a base for exploring Ratanakiri. It is a modest place rather than a large resort, and the appea...

Nice lodge hidden in a quiet part of town, near a very popular lake. The room was good but not great. Tep (the owner) was very welcoming and speaks fluent English. I booked for three nights but had to leave the next day due to unexpected personal obligation. Definitely will try to come back.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and had a lovely time. The owner is SO hospitable, making a fabulous breakfast each morning, bringing us refreshments by the pool, greeting us with fresh cold water when returning from being out. Lovely rooms, cool, clean and bug free. A very nice quiet, peaceful location as well. Highly recommend.

Lovely small hotel with tranquil gardens beautiful plants and trees. Great swimming pool. Peaceful location. Owner grows much of the organic vegetables used and he was extremely helpful and pleasant. Didn't have dinner here but the breakfast was very good indeed even including the homemade bacon. Value for money here unlike some other nearby places. Highly recommended

Katieng Waterfall

Sights 9.9 km 4.3/5 on Google

Katieng Waterfall is 9.9 km south of Molyka Lodge — a short ride rather than a walk.

Katieng Waterfall is a cascade in the countryside near Banlung, set within a small park that remains quieter than other waterfalls in the region. Visitors find a tiered drop with a cave running in a crescent shape beneath it, accessible by a steep trail with old stairs and slippery rocks. A heart-shaped lookout point serves as a photo spot. The base of the falls holds a pool deep enough for swimming, and a cave area provides shelter to rest and cool off.

The waterfall attracts consistent praise for its natural appeal and peaceful atmosphere. Visitors emphasize how deserted it feels compared to busier local attractions, and many mention the pleasant experience of swimming in the pool or exploring the cave underneath the cascade. The park charges a nominal entry fee (reported as one dollar for foreigners) and vendors nearby sell refreshments including sugarcane juice. A note of caution appears in reviews about the slippery rocks and uneven terrain—the trail requires careful footing, and at least one visitor raised concerns about potential snakes. The waterfall location is also home to an elephant trek operated by local handlers; opinions on this activity vary, with some visitors noting the elephants are chained but have forest space to roam.

The site is accessible year-round with no specific opening hours restrictions. Plan for roughly 30 to 45 minutes travel from Banlung city centre, though roads can be confusing and mobile signal is unreliable in the area. Asking locals for directions is advisable if uncertain. Wear sturdy shoes with good grip for the rocky terrain and bring a change of clothes if you intend to swim. It suits visitors seeking a quiet natural setting away from crowded attractions, though those uncomfortable with wet and uneven surfaces should consider the physical demands before visiting.
