About Yellow Sun Hostel Kampot

Yellow Sun Hostel Kampot sits on River Road in Kampot, Cambodia, right on the riverside. It is a budget-friendly hostel offering simple dorm accommodation, a social common area, and food and drink service, including beer, from 8 AM to 12 AM daily.

The property is set up around communal, relaxed living, with an outdoor space by the river where guests can spend time together. Rooms are basic, and at least some are fan-cooled with a view opening onto the river. Kayaks are available for guests to use on the water.

This is a fit for budget travellers and backpackers who want a low-cost, laid-back base in Kampot with a social atmosphere and river access, rather than a polished or fully serviced stay.

Yellow Sun is a nice place to relax and enjoy the sunset. The food is good, and the room was clean, although I did not find it very comfortable. However, I was disturbed by some very young teenagers, who appeared to be around 14–15 years old, drinking and smoking there. Since people were smoking in many areas, it was difficult to enjoy the fresh air. Overall, it is a beautiful and relaxing place, but better control of smoking would make the experience much more enjoyable.

The staff here are absolutely amazing and really friendly along with the food which my chicken burger was delicious! It’s such a shame that this is where the pros end as the place has such potential :( The dorm rooms smell like urine and i felt as though i was sleeping in the public toilet, throughout the night i was woken up to rats or mice scratching around in the walls and chewing the wood which was very unsettling and i struggled to get back to sleep. The whole place seems extremely unhygienic and i feel really unclean after staying here, even after showering in the filthy toilet shower rooms. I wish i could recommend this place but until the living conditions improve / renovations happen i would stay well clear of this hostel.

I come to this guest house often, it's one of my favourite places in Kampot. The staff are always really friendly and the atmosphere is tranquil in the most perfect of ways. It's like time slows down here. I highly recommend. Also, they have the best fried rice I have ever tasted, and I have eaten a lot of fried rice.

One of the best hostels I stayed on a 18 months RTW trip. Lovely staff, very very chilled vibes by the riverside, awesome volunteers, great food, amazing commun areas. Honestly very very nice. The dorms are simple but if you are okay with that, it is really wort it.

We loved staying here for the social space, location on the river and kayaks. It was one of the most memorial parts of our trip, even though we only stayed one night! The food was excellent and good value for money. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The dogs were great company too! The room was basic, with only a fan, but had everything we needed and it opened onto the river which was a great view. You will need to get a tuk tuk into town, but there was always someone waiting to take us and it's easy to get a Grab back.

Cafés & bakeries 110.0 km 4.5/5 on Google

EE-cafe is 110.0 km north of Yellow Sun Hostel Kampot — a short ride rather than a walk.

This countryside café in Kirirom offers coffee in a spacious, clean setting. Visitors find it a peaceful spot with functioning facilities, though it serves drinks rather than food. The atmosphere appeals to those seeking a quiet break in a rural location.

Guests consistently highlight the coffee quality and reasonable prices, along with the cleanliness of the space and toilets. Several mention the peacefulness of the setting. One visitor noted the limitation that food is not served here, only beverages, which is worth knowing if you plan a longer stop. The overall feedback suggests a straightforward, functional café rather than a destination venue.

The café suits travellers passing through Kirirom who want a coffee break without fanfare, or anyone seeking a calm spot away from busier areas. Go expecting coffee and a quiet atmosphere, not a meal or elaborate service. The rural location means it works best as a planned stop rather than a casual drop-in.
