Description
Veranda remains the pick of the bunch on Kep hill, though it sadly isn't the bargain it once was. Set in a very pleasant and breezy spot, Veranda is particularly popular with Phnom Penh expats –- so book ahead if you think you'll be there over the weekend -- especially over holiday weekends. There's a range of accommodation from fairly standard-sized wooden bungalows through to massive family-sized villas. The accommodation is accompanied by a sprawling restaurant and bar which boasts some of the best views across the sea to Bokor to be had in the area. All is interconnected by a series of elevated wooden walkways -- and while they do feel terrific on bare feet, it would have been better to have left a few more trees standing, and let the guests make do with walking on the ground. Each bungalow is a bit different and they can be a bit variable when it comes to cleanliness and positioning -- so try to see as many rooms as possible before settling on one. Overall Veranda remains a friendly and very popular spot with great views.

Swiss Family Robinson! -

Myself & the girlfriend stayed here after Phnom Penh and thought it was the most beautiful setting we had been in Cambodia, the bungalows were brilliant and the craic with the barman was mighty! Really friendly staff who if you are nice to them, take you down to the local karaoke bar! Can't praise this place enough!
Not that great! And pricey! -

If you want to pay US$60 for an air-con room and you want to stay far far away from the beach while in Kep, and if you like to live with bugs, stay at Veranda! I think it's a rip off, the rooms are very average and the location is terrible. The views are nice, but that's not too hard to get in Kep. If you value your vacation, stay somewhere closer to the beach with nicer, cheaper rooms and with a pool! I stayed at veranda once, and since stay at The Beach House. I pitty the fools who don't shop around and decide on this place based on the 4-star rating on this website! 2, maybe 2-1/2 stars!
The Treehouse -

This is a fantastic wild place. Flying lizards on the walls, flocks of butterflies each morning, jungle all around. Imagine living in the treehouse you always dreamed of as a kid -- and you will get some idea of what Veranda is like. Kids will love it -- but the bungalows are isolated enough from each other that those looking for romance will not be disappointed. Prices have gone up since the $4 days -- but a nice bungalow overlooking the sea and the mountain with breakfast is still only 25.00. You will not be disappointed.

What an absolutely beautiful place; I won't bother describing the accommodation as the other comments on this place is perfect. All I will add is that the bungalows themselves are absolutely charming, with their own wooden verandas with hammocks (and outdoor beds!), and the food at the restaurant is really nice. The whole place has a really nice, romantic atmosphere, and is well worth the price.
Excellent place -

I stayed there with my girlfriend and family, the place is amazingly good looking, with wooden paths between the bungalows, stunning views, nice terraces -- all up a must-to-stay. I've been told they are going to increase their prices substantially, as they got rid of all the 4$ rooms :(

This is one of Kep's flasher digs near the shore, boasting a pool and spacious adjoining-bungalow styled rooms. The bungalows are all duplex and have large open air bathrooms almost as big as the bedroom. The rooms are pretty clean, though there were definitely some mould issues when we last passed... more
