Kampot Guesthouse
Ok, but tours get a hard sell
Off the river, Kampot
Kampot Province
Tel: (012) 51 2931
Description
Just up the road from Blissful, Kampot has spotless, well-sized rooms priced across a range of budgets. There's also a large terrace and a restaurant on site serving Khmer and limited western food. While the rooms are quite a good price, Kampot Guesthouse gets more than its fair share of complaints regarding hard selling of tours offered inhouse. Without the character of Blissful and with this hassle, this remains an overflow choice only -- ok for a clean cheap room when you can't find one elsewhere.

Enjoyed my stay here, the staff are all nice and accommodating, plenty of tour information but not pushy about it. Slept well in the big room with high ceilings and no windows.

not too bad -

we turned up at chinese new year and got the last room.
double fan for 10 dollars a night. the room was ok and nobody there even mentioned their tours to us even though we were there for a week.they always helped us with bus tickets and tuk tuks.
the service in the restaurant is slow ( but thats normal) and the food isnt that good at all. PLUS they lock the gates at midnight so you have to try waking someone up which often takes a while.
ok -

We had a clean room with cable tv and the restaurant was nice and shady. Maybe it doesn't look great from outsidebut it is not a bad option at all.
Dodgy wiring, dodgy tours -

Interested to read next comment. We were hassled into staying here and then onto their tour. The tour didn't deliver what it was supposed to and was more expensive than others. As for the guesthouse, it had dodgy wiring meaning that to have the fan on you had to have the light on, everything was wired into the light switch. Nothing terrible but no charm.
Peaceful and relaxing -

Nice staff, nice rooms, pillows a bit hard, but beds otherwise comfortable. Good reception on telly and have HBO! Blissful Guesthouse Bar a 30 second walk away. Good value and comfy, shame about the hard sell on the tours though!

Blissful is easily the best value guesthouse in Kampot. Set in a large, two-storey house, the rooms are clean and well-maintained, even if some are a little pokey.

Mealy Chenda Guesthouse
Centre of town, Kampot
A bit of a backpacker factory, Kampot's Mealy Chenda is centrally-located and offers basic, no-frills rooms with fan and very grimy bathrooms. The main asset here is the large upstairs terrace area from where you can see Bokor and watch goings-on in Kampot. Better options in Kampot are available,... more

Opposite Blissful Guesthouse, Kampot
Orchid Guesthouse is one of the newer guesthouses in Kampot and has settled in well in the budget quarter around Blissful Guesthouse. Orchid offers a range of accommodation from rooms in a Khmer-style villa through to bungalows. Most are clean, though some of the bathrooms can be a little on the... more
Long Villa Guesthouse
Northern end of Kampot
Long Villa is at the northern end of Kampot on the road leading to the new bridge, and has its accommodation set in a two storey building back off the main road. Rooms are mostly good and clean -- the cheapest are pretty ordinary, but their larger mid-priced rooms are quite good value for Kampot.... more
Kampot River View Guesthouse
Riverside, northern end of Kampot
Set at the northern end of Kampot, the Kampot River View Guesthouse doesn't make as much use of its riverside location as it could. Rooms are adequate -- they're all fan-cooled, clean and come with cable TV and private bathrooms but are nothing to get too excited about. The best thing is the... more
Bodhi Villa
Teuk Chhou Rd, Kampot
The uber-chilled out, Australian-run Bodhi Villa sits on the Teuk Chhou Rd a couple of kilometres north of Kampot on the west side of the river. The only place in town with a speedboat (yes, speedboat), Boddhi caters to the most laid back of the laid back travellers you're likely to meet. The... more
Utopia, Kampot
Around 7km north of Kampot
If Bodhi Villa isn't chilled out enough, then just keep on heading north on the zoo road and you'll eventually reach Utopia. Under German leadership and related to the Utopia at Sihanoukville, this seriously hidden-away spot is situated on the Kampot River around 7km north of Kampot town -- on the... more
