The Wavy Sailor is a hotel on Tui Beach, in Cambodia's Preah Sihanouk province. Its address is recorded as the Plus Code M7FH+MR2, Tui Beach, Koh Rong, Koh Rong Island — a position on the beach frontage itself rather than inland or in a town.
Two island names appear in the property's own details: it is listed under Koh Rong Samloem, while the street address places it on Koh Rong. Anyone arranging boats or transfers should confirm the island and drop-off point with the property before travelling.
The hotel suits travellers who want to be on the sand rather than a short walk from it, and who are putting together an island stay on the Cambodian coast. Room types, facilities and services were not supplied with this listing, so specifics such as bed configuration, meals and transport are worth confirming with the property directly.

The area
The hotel sits on Tui Beach, Koh Rong, in Preah Sihanouk province, Cambodia. The address is a Plus Code, M7FH+MR2, which pins it to the beach frontage. The listing also records the city as Koh Rong Samloem, so it is worth confirming the exact island when arranging travel.
Good to know
The address is given as a Plus Code (M7FH+MR2) rather than a street number, so it is worth saving for transfers. The property's details name Koh Rong Samloem as the city but Koh Rong Island in the address; check which applies before booking boats. No check-in or check-out times, deposit or cancellation terms were provided with this listing, so ask the property directly.
Overstaffed and Under stocked.
Firstly it’s got 3 different names…
1. Wavy
2. The wavy sailor
3. Starfish bungalows
Which is a little confusing
The good things: the food was absolutely incredible I had a smash burger and it genuinely is probably one of the best burgers I have ever had! The beds were also comfy.
Some of the staff were actually really lovely like Fred and his 2 friends from the uk who were all very welcoming and friendly.
However there appears to be an abundance of hostel reps/ staff and they all sit around the bar at all times of the day which can be kind of intimidating.
The hostel also does not have any stock, multiple times we went up and were told that they did not have the items we were asking for, what was really annoying about this was that my friends and I were staring at the menu really contemplating what to get only to be told they don’t have the things we wanted even though the staff could hear us talking and deciding, it was odd thy don’t jump in and say sorry but we don’t have this this and this. The lack of stock was not a major issue until the last day, we were all hungover so gagging for some water only to be told they have run out! How can a hostel run out of drinking water?! We were also not offered anything else at the price of water which I thought would have been nice I had to spend $4 on apple juice! What made this just maddening was that someone popped out to get some water but only for the staff, of course they need water…but don’t
This place is special. I've traveled far and wide and moments like what are being captured here are rare.
From the second you meet these people it's obvious you've stumbled into a literal pirates cove of mad cap curated human treasure.
Friday night beach party vibes with proper deep house music and a smash burger which can only be described as tears from the pickle gods appearing in meat form.
My bungalow, like the rest of them, was nestled just up from the beach well in view of the action. Clean, comfortable and easy. Surprisingly quiet as well.
Stay here. It's the move.
Wavy hostel is in a great location. Half the people staying there are staff and they crowd the bar at all times which makes it awkward going up to order anything. Also the rooms are so rickety and full of mosquitos, so take a gallon of bug spray.
Plus side is the foods really good & it’s a close walk to Nest.
This hostel was a nightmare…
The rooms were falling apart and covered in bugs not to mention the toilet didn’t have a proper roof so you couldn’t use the bathroom without being eaten alive by bugs. The staff were all friends so unless you got in with the click you were basically ignored. The food was good but took at least an hour to make, even eggs😬 It has a good location to walk to nestival though. The aircon is turned off most of the day and the remotes are removed so the rooms are basically unbearable and the water always went off which was a problem for the whole island however seemed much less of a problem for others we spoke to.
Wavy Hostel is by far my favourite hostel I have stayed in. The location is incredible, the dorms are spacious and comfortable and the beach is set with multiple loungers and chairs, ideal for chilling out and reading or hanging with friends and drinking. The bar is well equipped and the menu is full of delicious options. The staff are very friendly and incredibly helpful, Annabelle and Ben make sure you feel super welcome and overall the vibes are great. I will definitely be back in the future for another incredible experience at Wavy Hostel!!
