The Hornbill Cafe and Hostel sits in M'pai Bay on Koh Rong Samloem, a minute's walk from the beach on a quiet street. It combines a hostel with a cafe, offering dorm beds and private rooms alongside a full breakfast menu. Private rooms come with a large bed, a fan and a mosquito net, and the rooms and bathrooms are simple rather than elaborate, in line with what is typical on the island.
The kitchen is a large part of what happens here. Breakfast runs to pancakes, a full English with non-sweet bread, baked beans, sausages and fried eggs, a sausage sandwich, and coffee and tea. Owners Oli and Katie have also put together their own cocktail menu. The common area holds plenty of tables and is surrounded by plants, with an upstairs balcony for quieter time.
There is a regular programme of events: movie nights on Mondays, a DJ night on Tuesdays, and a pub quiz on Fridays. The atmosphere is...
One minute from beach
Full English breakfast
Fans and mosquito nets
Movie, DJ and quiz nights

The hostel is on an unnamed street in M'pai Bay on Koh Rong Samloem, Cambodia. The beach is about a minute's walk away, and the street itself is calm and quiet. The owners can provide information about the island and onward travel.

Rooms and bathrooms are basic but clean, in keeping with most places on the island. Private rooms have a fan rather than air conditioning, plus a mosquito net. The ground-floor toilets are a wet room shared with a guesthouse upstairs, so toilet tissue is not kept in the bathrooms and needs to be requested or brought from the tables.
A lovely simple hostel just a minutes walk from the beach ! The street was very calm and quiet, the staff were helpful and friendly. The rooms and bathrooms are basic, similar to most places on the island, but clean and all that you need. The breakfast was delicious with really nice coffee. If you’re lucky enough you’ll get to meet garlic the hostel cat ! The common area is really cool with lots of tables and surrounded by plants, with a balcony area upstairs if you need somewhere quiet to chill. Not a super social hostel but relaxed and friendly ! ( the pancakes and sausage sandwich are especially yummy )
Didn't realise how much I'd missed a Full English breakfast until coming here. Proper (non-sweet) bread, Heinz baked beans, not frankfurter sausages, crispy fried eggs. Top notch! Great coffee too. I believe they do Yorkshire tea as well. Music was fantastic whilst having breakfast. Bathrooms were clean. Might have to ask for toilet tissues or bring some from the table as there is a guesthouse upstairs, and the toilets are a wet room for guests, so there is no tissue in the bathrooms. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners who are really inspirational people. Was so lovely to get to know them and the volunteers working there too. Community vibes here meant we saw one of them playing dnb/jungle in a different bar in the area and it was really fun. Would love to come back and stay in the guesthouse. Thanks so being such lovely people and being so welcoming. Really made our time on the island that much more enjoyable 🏝️✨
Really lovely hostel in the best area of sanloem! The owners are super friendly and helped us with loads of info about the island/onward travel. Nice social vibe. Private room was spacious (huge comfy bed), with a fan (no need for A/C!) and mosquito net. Would highly recommend - best value for money in the area :))
If you’re in M’pai Bay the Hornbill is a spot you won’t want to miss. Serving a plethora of breakfast food, their pancakes and full English are definite highlights. It’s the ideal place for travellers craving a taste of home or looking for somewhere relaxed to unwind. There’s always something happening at The Hornbill, they host movie nights on Mondays, a DJ night every Tuesday with a fresh lineup of backpackers travelling through SEA, and a pub quiz every Friday. The owners Oli and Katie have created their own cocktail menu which is definitely worth working your way through. I’d highly recommend The Hornbill to any backpacker looking for great vibes and good drinks!!
Great hostel with the comfiest seats, social vibe, chilled layout and really freindly owners you can't miss, you'll feel at home in is hostel.
Extensive bar with unique cocktail menu.
Dorm beds are comfortable and come with a personal fan.
Whether it's staying in the beds or coming to hang out the hornbill is great and I can't recommend enough.
