Hotels Near The Bookish Bazaar in Kampot

I stayed at this hotel for several days in November. I was impressed with the room which was really big and had two queen beds in it. The bathroom was large too. Everything was pretty new. I was told the hotel first opened in 2020 but shut down thereafter due to Covid. It reopened around the middle of 2022. It has a fairly big lobby where a breakfast buffet is served in the morning.. it also has a coffee bar off in one corner which is where you want to get your coffee. They charge for it but we’re talking $1.50 for most espresso drinks. Coffee offered in the buffet is the Nescafé type. Skip that stuff. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. They are very willing to help you with transportation, tours, etc. The location of the hotel is ideal and is situated very close to the durian roundabout. You can pretty much walk anywhere you need to go in town. At night, it’s lit up and is easily spotted as the building has six stories. There aren’t many that tall in kampot. Internet is quite good which surprised me. Only negative about the place is the room safe. It’s not bolted down and could easily be carried off. But overall, I had a great experience and would definitely stay there again if in Kampot

I chose this boutique hotel for my birthday weekend getaway. It's literally my first birthday celebration with my husband and it was horrible because we keep getting interruptions from the hotel staff. We got an incessant knock on our door TWICE during ONE day we stay there. The first time was due to their incompetent lack of preparation. They didn't prepare a spot for our car park even if we book the room one week in advance and when there are other cars coming they ask us to change our parking spot. The second time was a mistake, they thought they were knocking on another guest that they need something from. It ruined the mood and I feel like I have no peace or privacy. I will never go back and every single person going to visit Kampot I will tell them to never ever go to Phka Kravan Boutique.

Beautiful bungalows located just a mile or so up the main road out the north of Kampot. The bungalows are all weather tight with AC. Some of the cleanest and most modern bungalows we have stayed in while in SE Asia. The resort has a beautiful restaurant with a seating area that floats over the river where you can sit and watch the sunset and watch the riverboats pass by.

I would 100% recommend Kampot Sweet Boutique. We fell in love with Kampot, both the area and the people. The hotel is quite new and even though it a bit remote still easily accessible. The hotel staff will arrange all rides, tours etc.... according to your personal choice. They are extremely kind, friendly and very helpful 🌞 We had a great tour around kampot and of the pepper fields. The hotel food was okay, many different options. If you did not feel to eat what was in their restaurant, it was quite easy to get a lift into the city area for more options. We stayed there for 3 nights then drove to Phnom Penh for one day and night (long weekend holiday) and we prefer Kampot so much better.

The hotel looks nice but a little bit dusty, our room also looks nice but it was full of mosquitoes which is super annoying, we had to use mosquitoes spray to totally cover ourselves all the time and be careful with the door to bathroom since bathroom is an open space with only half of the ceiling. But still we got beaten up a lot. The curtains were super dirty covered with dead insects, the AC was not too functional but they put this AC blows right on the bed which made me and and my boyfriend both sick after the tour. And the rooms are not private enough, the description says swimming pool view, but actually the swimming pool just 5 meters in front our room. Overall I like the design of the rooms but there are many details were not satisfying, especially with the price, it could be the most expensive hotel I have tried in Cambodia, but experience was seriously so so.

I've never met a hotel staff that was so friendly and welcoming. Every time we went in the door, they were welcoming and inquired about how our stay was going. Furthermore, they were able to suggest locations for us to get any kind of meal. It was a fantastic hotel. As expected, it was even better. It was an unbelievable value. Great eateries were close by and easily accessible on foot. There is no doubt that I would return.

Beautiful setting with choice of rooms n chalets. By the riverside which is therapeutic. Good breakfast spread, free mini bar, new bathroom fittings. Reasonable pricing. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy access. Has 2 pools. Fairly new facilities which are well kept.

A fantastic location on the river with a great bar/restaurant, a variety of rooms and friendly staff. There is a choice of 2 pools to enjoy. Cocktails on the deck on the river is a must. A quick 5 minute tuk tuk drive gets you into town. The owner is helpful, chatty and very interesting. Louis and Lady are the cute hotel dogs. A great place for couples of families.

Such an amazing stay. Rooms and resort are even better than the photos online. You truly get a “resort” feel here. Facilities are brand new and everything is extremely clean. Hotel is only 8 minutes to town and there are tuktuks ready to take you. Can not recommend this hotel enough for someone looking for a relaxing and upscale Kampot stay for a reasonable price. You will not regret staying here, it’s straight out of the movies. The free kayaks are a wonderful touch to the resort.

This is probably one of my strangest reviews I have written on a hotel. Firstly the hotel is set on a small island and the only way on and off is by a speedboat , which is great fun. The location of the hotel is about 7 km outside of Kampot so you will need a tuk tuk ride into town. So that is about the location of the hotel, lets now talk about the hotel its self. The rooms are all on stilts and connected by wooden walkways. The rooms have a small terrace and are very comfortable. You are offered to use bikes to get around the resort, this also is great fun and very unusual The facilities of the hotel offered are for potential families with swings, crazy golf and a large swimming pool, which is some distance from the reception area. There are plenty of sunbeds and places to sit near the pool for the number of guest we saw. This now brings to an observation, When we checked in, it appeared we were only 6or 7 other guests. Many of the areas were deserted and not staffed, so to get a drink by the pool required us to go back to reception and someone to serve us. So getting a drink could take 30 mins or so. However we stayed for 4 nights and by the 2nd day other guests had arrived and it was a little easier to get a drink or something to eat. It would have been better if the staff made themselves more visible than hide behind a bar that was not open. The food, the first couple of mornings it was a menu driven breakfast and unfortunately it was not that great, gold fried eggs. It appeared that they only had one member of staff who could speak English and when he was not on, a lot got lost in translation like asking for sugar. We ate there one evening and the food was expensive compare to outside of the resort and was again not of the best quality and being cold, which we had to send back. Day 3 and 4 with more guests a buffet breakfast was put on. The selection was adequate, but not great compared to other hotels we had stayed at. I do think this hotel is either suffering and still recovering from Covid or they are in a transition. It is potentially a gold mine if they had more guests and a good chef, also opened up the bar near the pool.
