The name is a bit of a tongue twister, but the five very smart rooms here will certainly stick in your mind. Laid out with a minimalist Asian theme in mind, the air-con rooms are comfortable with firm real mattresses, cable TV (and DVD collection), hot water showers, minibars and safes. The decor is very tasteful while still having a flair to it, with rattan ceilings, wide four-poster wooden beds with soft linens, and large armoires to hide the electronics. The lighting is subdued, with fixtures covered in orange silk. The artwork on the wall is interesting too -- framed old military maps of Cambodia and vintage Cambodian advertisements. This is easily the best riverside flashpacker offering in downtown Kampot. A very well-situated bar and restaurant is located on the top floor of this converted rice barn, delivering outstanding Western food, great sunset views and drinks from the fully stocked bar. Popular with expats, consider booking ahead if you're planning on staying over a weekend. Former guests rave about this place and its owners, whom we too found to be helpful and kind. They seem genuinely excited about what they do for a living and where they reside. The price of the room includes breakfast, which sounded like a proper affair, with a selection of fruit, breads, crepes, and eggs.

Great Value, Great Place - 13th February, 2010
Stayed at Rikitiki for 1 night $35. Clean and stylish rooms, with excellent bar and resturaunt with perfect views. The food was very nice and the happy hour cocktails were particuarly enjoyed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Good location easy to stroll along the strip of resturaunts adjacent the river.
Make sure you book ahead because its very popular. (We could only stay one night and then moved to Moliden Guesthouse which is a good alternative)

First class - 5th September, 2009
Excellent accomodation with friendly owners and staff. Rooms were of a high standard and restaurant food was excellent - Saraman curry in particular was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Wonderful place - 30th June, 2009
This was an amazing place for the price($30USD). It has the same kind of feel as boutique Bali hotels. Huge room decorated with tribal handicrafts, opening onto its own little courtyard. Delicious breakfast, with out of the ordinary choices. Unfortunately, I didn't get to eat in their restaurant at dinner, because there was a tragedy with one of the staff members and the owners wanted to deal with that. Seemed like really good people. Only downside to this place is the acoustics. The corridor between the rooms is tiled and amplifies the noise. Otherwise, it's wonderful.

Gorgeous - 17th March, 2009
Stayed 2 nights here in early March. Was particularly impressed by the atmosphere and style of the rooms. Great friendly and helpful staff. Top quality place to stay. Sunsets over the river as viewed from the restaurant are wonderful.

all around!! - 3rd October, 2008
Man, my luck has to run out at some point I am sure! Continuing on a birthday week full of fun, we opted to stay at RikiTiki, where the dreams of mouthwatering brownies and apple pie in bed could come true!! did they??? OH HECK YES they did...dvd's and all!! The staff here is superb...polite, accommodating, attentive, and very very professional(which is usually lost at most places we've stayed/eaten)! They too were eager to help in a birthday surprise and the owner, saintly as she is, allowed me to go ''off-menu'' for a special seafood treat!
Basically, the food is AMAZING(good value, good taste, good portion!), the accommodations are homey and downright comfy, the staff is gracious, the owners caring, great location...would be good views without so much brush in the front(but that's surely fixable), great music playing, WELL STOCKED BAR(you don't have to worry about what's in the bottles, its real), good value breakfast(included)...awesome place!
So, whether staying or eating here EVERY SINGLE night of your stay in Kampot...do it!! I promise, you will not regret it!
p.s. we tried to spread the love and eat elsewhere...whoa big mistake....we've learned our lesson...
