Top View is a hostel on Koh Rong island, Cambodia, offering dorm beds and private rooms. Dorms have air conditioning, and guests have described the beds and dorm space as comfortable. Private rooms have been priced at roughly $40-50 per night, though several guests felt that rate did not match the condition of the room.
The hostel sits above Nest, the pub next door, and has an elevated outlook over the island. The upper area works as a quieter place to sit before heading down to the pub for the evening. Reception is staffed, and the manager, Tony, is named by repeat guests as helpful.
This suits budget travellers who want to be within reach of the island's nightlife and beaches, and who prioritise price and location over spotless facilities. Longset and Koh Touch beaches are both reachable, though renting a motorbike makes them easier to get to. Wi-Fi is available in the hostel but doe...

The area
The hostel is on Koh Rong island in Preah Sihanouk province, Cambodia. It is close to the beach and to Nest, the neighbouring pub. Longset and Koh Touch beaches are both accessible from the property, and guests suggest renting a motorbike to reach them.
Good to know
Cancellation requests sent by message before arrival have gone unanswered in at least one case, and the hostel initially declined a refund for an amendment made two days ahead, citing booking commission, before paying it. Wi-Fi does not reach the guest rooms. There is no hot water in the showers.
This hostel must improve itself. We booked three nights and the location is close to the Nestival and beach. Also the price is low.
Unfortunately the dorm and bathrooms are dirty, the receptionists were sometimes a little bit grumpy, the doors of the bathrooms did not have a locker and two sinks were broken. During the evening there is lots of sound from the pub next door.
I think if they clean it more, repair the facilities and work on more silence in the night, the hostel can be really great!
The staff were lovely!! The beds and aircon were fine but the showers and toilets really let this hostel down. There is no hot water, barely any hooks and the bathrooms are quite dark. The wifi also doesn’t stretch to the rooms which was sometimes annoying.
The location is quite good if you wish to go to longset or Koh touch beach however I would suggest renting a motorbike to do so.
Honestly, do not book a private room in this hostel. It is not worth the money. We paid around 40-50$ and its not even worth that.
I messaged to cancel before arriving and there was no response. The toilet seat wasn't attached. The flooring was adhoc and not fitted properly. The bed sheets were stained and at night it is very very loud until early hours.
I confronted the staff about this, but they said a refund was not possible and then when we amended two days in advance they were not going to give our money for one night back due to paying commission on booking.com, but they eventually did.
The staff aren't hospitality orientated, just young boys who are there for the party it seems. Construction in this area is everywhere also.
No clean towels during our stay. No bins emptied. Would not stop here again.
Amazing hostel, it is my second time staying here. Really great atmosphere, you can chill out up at top view, and then head down to Nest for a more lively night. Best view you will find on the island, and the best beds and dorm space by a long way that I have stayed in. Cant recommend top view enough - Tony was really accommodating!
One of the best hostels in all SE ASIA
The people there are so nice , you can meet really cool people and the manger is the nicest guy I’ve met.
Big shoutout to them for an amazing stay!
