Bokor Lodge has changed hands and opened and closed a couple of times over the years. Currently the FCC group owns the place, while it is independently run by friendly Eric. Rooms come either with or without river views, while all are air-con and come with cable TV, hot water bathrooms, ceiling fans and breakfast. The front rooms have bathrooms with bathtubs. The accommodation is not up to the FCC standard -- we found the rooms to be a bit frumpy and inferior to what we expected, with dusty, fake flowers and paint chipping from the walls. The downstairs bar looks like it's been renovated recently and really the rooms need a similar facelift. That said, by Kampotian standards this is a reasonable midrange choice. A comfortable dining area is out front and a pleasant second-floor veranda overlooks the river. Even if you're not staying here, it's worth dropping by come the late afternoon for a sundowner. WiFi is available.

Don't Bother - 17th March, 2009
Stayed here one night as Rikitikitavi was fully booked. Charged $40 per night for a non river view room and was seriously not worth the money. Very tired and uninspiring room - no excuse really as the building itself is charming. Everything's a bit dusty and grimy - uncared for. Lovely ambience from upstairs balcony. Restaurant food was really not up to standard and certainly did not live up to the prices charged. There are soooo many better options in Kampot!

beautiful house but overpriced - 20th July, 2006
a beautiful house in a great location overlooking the river and the elephant mountains. rooms a big, but the bathroom (with bathtub) was in poor condition.we booked a bokor mountain tour somewhere else and when the driver came to pick us up he was sent away by the staff telling him that we had already left - wich was not true!could have been an accident, but they did try to sell us a tour by taxi several times.
