Pop Guesthouse

Perfectly Adequate - 1st January, 2010
Staying at Pop's is like eating at Denny's Restaurant. You don't go here on purpose but instead just sort of wind up here. That is definitely what happened to us when the guesthouse where we intended to stay seemed to have closed. We picked up a comfortable, reasonably clean fan room with hot shower in one of the nearby annex buildings for 250 baht. It was nothing special, and pretty much designed to meet the needs of folks passing through on their way to the islands, which is exactly what we were doing. The guy sitting at the travel desk quickly lost interest in us when we weren't looking to purchase a speed boat ticket from him, but the folks at the restaurant were friendly and served up great food. Try the french fries! As noted above, Pop is the only guest house still working the bus station to drum up business. Perfectly adequate, but I'd likely try to pick a place with a bit more style next time through town.

Nothing special, but OK - 21st January, 2008
Room was OK with TV, but A/C room was overpriced at 450 Baht. Lots of mosquitoes in the bathroom. Good location, good for a stopover on the way to/from Ko Chang, but nothing to write home about. I'd opt for the fan room next time.

POP Guesthouse - 16th August, 2007
I stayed here not once, not twice, but three times during my travels. This place is great, these are my friends, I consider them almost family. The owners will go to all means to assure your comfort, everything is affordably budget, the kids on property are pleasant and great, it is a warmly welcoming place for the TRAVELLER, not the TOURIST. Those who are tourists don't understand a truly wonderful place and will complain about everything no matter the truth. That being said, POP Guesthouse Rules, I'll be back on my way to Cambodia this winter. It will be nice to see my smiling friends again, this is a home away from the home I don't have.

Okay rooms, but avoid - 10th April, 2007
Got a double fan room with bathroom for 250B. The room was okay, but not the cleanest. You can have better at most other guesthouses in Trat for the same price. I have to say I was very dissatisfied with the place. The owner sold us tickets for the boat from Koh Kong to Sihanoukville, absolutely guaranteeing we will make the boat when he dropped us off at the bus station in the morning. However, the minibus he directed us to waited for more customers for so long that we were at the border at 8 AM sharp and obviously missed the boat. There was also no-one from the boat/bus company to meet us on the Cambodian side for free transport to the pier, like he had promised.
