SALIK & KAREN 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.

I had a deep tissue massage at The Secret Eden Spa and it was excellent. The therapist really knew what she was doing, and the pressure was perfect. The spa itself has a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere with beautiful surroundings. For the quality of the massage, the price is very reasonable. A great place to unwind in Siem Reap,highly recommended!

A truly amazing experience. Incredibly good service. I was picked up by shuttle before my treatment and taken back to the hotel afterward. The massages were the best I've ever had anywhere in the world. My therapist, Sokhea, found exactly the most painful spots and treated them precisely. I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you so much! 🙏

Had such a nice, relaxing time. The whole vibe is super calm and peaceful, and it’s really easy to just switch off and enjoy. The treatment was great and I left feeling so refreshed. The staff were really friendly and made everything comfortable. Definitely recommend if you want to chill and treat yourself!

We feel Blessed to have stumbled onto this amazing spa. Set in a peaceful lane you are immediately at peace hearing the sound of water. Step Into the reception area you are greeted with warmth and immediately served a iced tea and provided with a iced face flannel. The massage rooms are well maintained and roomy with separate toilet. The therapists are professional and well trained. All in all a fabulous experience and after having a few massages around Siem Reap this spa clearly heads and tails above the rest.

Great value. Therapists were professional and the facilities were clean and nice treatment rooms. We went twice during our time in Siem Reap for massages and body scrubs. Both were excellent. We booked same day treatments through their WhatsApp number. Fast communication. 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!!

Nice bar, roomy, two pool tables, friendly staff.

Girls wanting drinks, kinda hard to have fun their. 3 pretty girls, more not so pretty.

Very nice bar with great service, pool table and beautiful staff.

Fantastic place. Affordable drinks, friendly staff, good music. Fell in love with the cashier and now I have to move to Siem Reap...

Charms is alright for being a girly bar. There were a lot of nice looking ladies working there and I enjoyed my time there. But they do close it down at 2 AM! I have no idea why. It's located very close to Pub Street and there were still several customers there at closing. If you want interaction with some cute girls then Charms is right for you.

If what you desire is food from home or just French food, an amazing service and heartfelt atmosphere, do not hesitate, come to Graines de Piaf! I had the bavette and my friend got the magret de canard and we both devoured it, it was delicious! We were also delighted as the meal comes (like in France) with a salade and bread included :)

Delicious French food at very very reasonable prices, run by a very friendly French man who is obviously passionate about his food. Unfortunately for us it is a small place and very crowded when we went on a Saturday night so only able to sit outside with the smokers. Inside it is very noisy with karaoke going but outside very quiet

After four weeks in SE Asia eating only local food we decided to spend our last evening in Cambodia by going here. Excellent food and wine, lovely location and decor, and the owner is super sweet. We had the daily special, pork filet with truffle sauce, and duck in mustard sauce. Don't panic if you don't speak French -- talking to you fellow Americans and Brits 😬 -- as he has an English Menu and speaks excellent English.

Superlative. Having made numerous extended visits to Cambodia, this was unquestionably the best food encountered to date. Everything was excellent. The proprietor is both friendly and is passionate about his menu, offering sound advice on both the food and notably an outstanding wine pairing. I cannot recommend this place highly enough... thank you for a most enjoyable evening.

Amazing dinner. I was in mood for something european after 10 days of Asian cuisine, and I found this little gem. We had 2 perfectly cooked beef fillet, and 2 creme brûlé. Everything was fresh and tasty. I definitely recommend it.

We had a wonderful experience at this spa! We booked a 120-minute couples massage with an $18 add-on each, and it was absolutely worth it. The spa is very clean, elegant, and beautifully designed. From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed with a refreshing welcome drink. After the massage, we were served hot tea, which was a lovely finishing touch. The therapists were incredibly sweet, professional, and attentive throughout the entire session. The atmosphere was relaxing, and the overall service exceeded our expectations.

Great environment and very clean. We enjoyed our massage here but it’s not the best. Other than that, it was perfect. All the staffs here were very friendly, massage room was spacious clean and with relaxing music.

I visited The Spa Siem Reap with very short notice (just 2 hours) for a much needed detox facial. Upon arrival in the beautiful foyer I was welcomed with cold tea, iced water and a cold cloth. My feet were then cleaned and had a scrub applied, and I was then guided upstairs to the treatment room. The whole experience was very relaxing and my beautician Heng did a wonderful job. I can recommend this place if looking for a facial or massage in Siem Reap. Their pricing is honest and non-gimmicky (unlike many others that have permanent “sales” prices).

Everything here was clean, professional, and I felt looked after. The tea/treat before and after was a nice touch. It was also convenient that the were flexible with my appointment, I probably could have just walked in. The massage itself was good but not the most amazing I’ve had. The masseuse’s hands smelled like the food she must have eaten right before 😅 which made the face part not as enjoyable. It was good, just nothing to rave about.

I ended up having one of the packages at The Spa. A 60 min massage, scrub and wrap. I came out of it completely relaxed. My masseuse was great and attentive. I would definitely go again! The place was beautiful.

Fully satisfied. Someone else left a one star, saying that the stairs were not lit inside the theater… They absolutely were lit up. Had no trouble going to the bathroom, and back. Also, the 3-D film, and the sound was all fantastic. My only complaint is the price of the popcorn and snacks, but this is pretty much anywhere you go to the movies, in the whole world… These days. 🙏

I love these theaters : nice staff, good seats, great sound, comfortable. Two problems though: men's toilets (always broken) and why most of the American movies are in 3D instead of 2D ??

Major Cinemax in Siem Reap is a top choice for moviegoers looking for a spacious and well-equipped cinema. The theater is one of the largest in the area and offers a great selection of films. Before the show, you can grab some drinks and snacks on the ground floor. While the bakery is no longer there, the overall experience is still enjoyable. For cinema enthusiasts, Major Cinemax is a must-visit destination in Siem Reap.

Great little cinema with good screens & a clear sound system. A/C was nice after coming out of the hot afternoon sun. Seats were clean & comfortable with armrests that you can tuck away. Only a few other people in the theater. Tickets were super cheap at $2.50. We will definitely be back.

Stopped by here to watch a couple of movies while in Siem Reap and honestly it wasn't a bad experience at all like some of the comments I've read.... I mean the ticket literally costs $3 guys. What can you honestly expect? We watched the Minions 2 and the screen quality as mentioned isn't the best, but good enough to enjoy your film. The sound queen was great and most importantly the theater was very clean! As far as the snack bar goes, it does suck. Lol they only have popcorn and some microwave sausages, which in my opinion were not good at all. No other options at all for snacks and the only candy available are mentos! 😂😂😂 Who eats mentos while watching a movie? Anyways definitely worth stopping by to enjoy a nice movie when in the city!

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.
