Knai Bang Chatt Resort

the place look very vintage.

Extremely friendly and helpful staff! Beautiful and interesting buildings with amazing room decor. It has a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere with a restaurant and spa.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Impe and the team went above and beyond to make our stay special. We were treated like royalty! The rooms are lovely, super comfortable and peaceful. The pool is one of the most beautiful we’ve seen. Food was excellent. We hope to come back and stay longer.

This was our first trip to Cambodia and had a great experience! After the initial few days in Phnom Penh we went north to Siem Reap and Angkor Wat, finishing off with the last 4 nights down on the coast in Kep, staying at the Knai Bang Chatt. We visited late October, the end of the rainy season, so it was still a bit quiet in terms of tourist numbers. Knai Bang Chatt is a fantastic, small boutique hotel comprising a few old but well renovated villas from the French colonial era and the property runs down to the beach and the Gulf of Thailand. We had a great room with balcony overlooking the sea and the staff could not have been better, helpful at all times. They arranged a couple of trips for us, by tuk-tuk, around the surrounding area including a visit to one of the estates producing the famous Kampot Pepper. We also enjoyed a Kmer cookery class so thanks to Chef Chuon Sokheng and his team for that experience. The hotel itself is only a few minutes walk, or tuk-tuk ride, from the local crab market and the excellent selection of restaurants along the waterfront. We went to the Holy Crab, recommended by the hotel, and had had some excellent food, including the local speciality, Kampot Pepper Crab. Many thanks to all the hotel staff for making the last bit of our Cambodia trip so enjoyable and would recommend a holiday in Cambodia to anybody and, in particular, a stay at the Knai Bang Chatt.

I had such a great stay at Knai Bang Chatt. The place itself is beautiful and peaceful and the people are amazing. For example, The receptionist (I think his name was Samnang) went completely out of his way to help me find sunscreen—he took photos at the pharmacy, and brought it back without charging anything extra. Mornings started with a swim in the pool or sunrise yoga, followed by a long breakfast where you can have literally anything—from Vietnamese Pho (apparently steamed for 3 hours) to avo toast with perfectly poached eggs. The restaurant at the seafront is also a really good, local crab with fresh pepper sauce, Italian food, fresh smoothies or Cambodian food, it really has it all and the quality is absolutely fantastic! We took the boat trip to the nearby island where they do marine conservation work, which was really interesting and gave me more context about the area and conservation work they do. Seeing the pepper farms was also great! I also had a very good pedicure and massage at the spa. Each time I was able to go within 15 minutes of asking. Being here helped me unwind in a way I haven’t experienced in a long time . See you next time!

We went for a yoga/wellness retreat and loved the experience. Lana and her team sorted everything and the balance of free time and activities such as yoga, sound bath, meditation, and more was so wonderful! The accommodation and food was an amazing bonus. Kudos to Lana, the chef, and all the staff for making it such a wonderful experience.
