The host can arrange pickup from the bus station on arrival and transport back on checkout, as well as onward bus bookings, and is contactable by WhatsApp.
Staying with Savet and his family was one of the highlights of our stay in Cambodia and we would definitely recommend to other visitors.
Savet spoke exceptional English and was extremely attentive and easy to contact via WhatsApp.
The room and en-suite was private, spacious and very clean. The surrounding property was beautiful with lush vegetation and the family had clearly worked hard to build and maintain this.
Savet was very helpful in organising tours in the area - including the bat caves and bamboo train. He also helped us organise a bus for onward travel and even got us discounted rates and free pick up from the accommodation.
The highlight of our stay was the cooking course with Savet and his wife. This included a comprehensive tour of a nearby market, collecting home-grown ingredients from their own home and using these to make delicious Khmer dishes in their kitchen. We especially enjoyed eating with the family and they were very kind in sharing their experiences of daily life in their village.
This was a fantastic experience and we will always remember the kindness of Savet and his family. Thank you so much.
We had a wonderful time with Savet! The village cycling tour and cooking class were fantastic and gave us a lovely glimpse into local life. Savet also arranged our tuk-tuks, trips and transport perfectly. So kind, helpful and reliable. Highly recommended! ❤️
My stay with Savet at Savet Family Homestay in Battambang was one of the highlights of my trip to Cambodia. From the moment I arrived, Savet and his family made me feel completely welcome, like I was part of their home rather than just a guest.
The home-cooked breakfasts were incredible, fresh, delicious, and a great way to start each day. You can really taste the care that goes into the food, and it was easily some of the best meals I had during my stay.
Savet also organized fantastic tours around Battambang. His local knowledge made the experience feel authentic and personal. It wasn’t just sightseeing, you really get to learn about the culture, history, and everyday life in the area.
If you’re looking for a true Cambodian experience, I can’t recommend this homestay enough. Amazing hospitality, great food, and unforgettable tours. Thank you Savet and family for such a wonderful stay!
Such a wonderful, family run homestay. It's really important that visitors to Cambodia help support local businesses like this. Savet and is family are so welcoming and really go above and beyond. The homestay is set about a 15 minute tuktuk ride from the centre. It's a little oasis. The room is large with a good size bed and bathroom. There's also a lovely outside space with a table and benches. Although there isn't Aircon, the three fans help keep the room cool. It's also totally waterproof! Every morning they make you breakfast, even when you have to leave early. This was so kind!
We had a wonderful time at Savet Family Homestay! Savet and his family were fantastic hosts, always on hand if we needed and really helpful in getting our pick up sorted from the bus station, and getting back there when we checked out. They took our orders was breakfast each day, which always arrived exactly when we asked for it and was really good! We got eggs done however we liked (omelette and fried eggs in our case), with baguette, mango, sticky rice on most occasions, and tea/coffee. It's a great additional benefit of this place that the breakfast is included. People in other reviews have also booked tours etc through the property, and they're always more than happy to do this if required.
Location-wise, it is a little out of the town and there isn't much by way of restaurants or cafes close by. That said, it's no more than a 15-minute tuk-tuk into town and Grab is readily available all over the city, so we had no issues at all. The rooms are great, with private bathrooms, mosquito nets, and comfortable beds. There is no air-con but multiple fans are provided throughout each room which do a good job on hotter days/evenings. Plus the rooms are set within a beautiful garden where it is wonderful to just sit on the balcony of a morning. At night and early morning there is a bit of noise from things kike roosters and dogs, but this is just part of being in the Cambodian countryside which we were happy to accept. Wifi is available which is excellent quality in our experience
