Sets itself apart

Malis sets itself apart from the score of other lakeside places by not being on the lake. This will be a major downside for some, but the family-owned Malis also attracts a more straightlaced, low-key crowd, has clean rooms at good prices, a friendly, welcoming staff and a whole bunch of peace and quiet to spare. The rooms are basic but spacious and clean. While the building is plain, it's set back from the road and surrounded by a few trees, providing a sanctuary that's still in close proximity to all the bars and restaurants lining the street outside the gate. Because there's no hammock-strewn, lakefront porch on which to lounge, smoke weed and watch movies, you will miss the debauchery and noise that comes with that scene -- which you may or may not prefer. A restaurant on the premises offers a selection of Western and Khmer dishes. This is a great place to hole up if the Boengkak Lake scene is beginning to irk you. The owner speaks French well and his son is friendly and speaks impressive English.
