Description
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 nose, so ask to see a few rooms if possible. Overall it's better value than the Kampot Guesthouse (primarily because there's a lot less hassle to buy tours here), but not quite as good as Blissful. Orchid also has a small bookshop and there's a restaurant on site. The English speaking owner is very friendly and helpful and can give accurate information on the surrounds. Both motorcycles and bicycles can be hired from here.

Guest feedback
A relaxed place to stay - 
By Lother ( total comments: 27

Orchid Guesthouse has nice and friendly staff who will help you out and can organise tours to Bokor and elsewhere. The fan bungalows (US$10) are pretty nice and fine, although bug infested, and the air-con ones look very comfortable at least from the outside. The strange overgrown pond in the yard gives out a bit of a smell though, and no doubt adds to the bug problem. Apart from that, a very relaxed, nice place to stay.

More options in Kampot
Blissful Guesthouse
Off the river, Kampot
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. A spacious common area on the first floor has plentiful information stuck on the walls and is a good spot to collapse in the midday... more
Kampot Guesthouse
Off the river, Kampot
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... more
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
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
