A wonderful experience I would love to repeat
Pros:

The students were beyond charming, all of my interactions with them were a joy. There may be the occasional idiosyncrasy but this added to the charm.
The quality of food prepared by the students was exceptional. The laundry service was prompt and efficient too.
The bathroom set up was much better than other stays in Cambodia (separate toilet, sink & shower).
Witnessing the students' enthusiasm and dedication at the morning flag ceremony was humbling. I am privileged to have been part of Sala Bai and their journeys for a handful of days.

Cons:

My room lacked storage, there was some hanging space but no drawers or shelves.

Excelente experiência em Siem Reap
Pros:

Quarto ótimo. Bastante luz natural. Cama confortável. Chuveiro e toalete limpos e separados. Equipe extremamente atenciosa com uma ótima atitude. Ar condicionado bom. Pontos extras pela missão e impacto da organização por trás de Sala Bai

Cons:

Localização longe do centro, mas nada impossível de fazer caminhando, com uma das bicicletas disponíveis, ou com um Tuk-tuk de 1 USD.

Les étudiants sont très accueillants et les responsables très arrangeants pour l'entrée et la sortie.

L'hôtel est un peu éloigné du centre.

Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay at Sala Baï: The students are very kind and do everything to make your stay a memorable one. It was a pleasure to talk to them and also to the teachers. The room was spacious, very clean, very well equipped and quiet. We liked it that the hotel was a little bit outside the busy city center. For us it was a very special place- one of our highlights of our trip to Cambodia. We wish the school a continuing success to provide young people a brighter future!

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour à Salai bai, au milieu des étudiants très appliqués
Pros:

La gentillesse de toutes les personnes, les explications sur l'école, la décoration du lieu, la chambre et salle de bains confortables. Une belle pause humaine 🤗

Cons:

Nous avons tout apprécié. Rien à redire. L'école est un exemple d'humanité, de solidarité et d'engagement humain de la part des enseignants et aussi des élèves.

Very special place. Would really recommend it.
Pros:

Run by beautiful young students ( from disadvantaged backgrounds) but absolutely no compromise. They were charming and the food and accommodation were great.

Cons:

A short Tuk Tuk ride into town - but never a problem to get one

Exceptional
Pros:

The place was over our expectations. Really nice rooms, students go out of their way to do everything correctly, just be a little bit patient. We got very good advice about our day in Angkor Wat, and all the help we needed. Location is nice quiet road by the river, more local feeling then being in the centre. If I should be i Siem Reap in the future, I would stay here again.

Treat yourself with excellent service, food and a lovely room in support of this NGO program.
Pros:

Sala Bai’s young trainees are lovely, all Khmer smiles! Thank you Instructor Sovy for your students’ front desk service! A first-rate kitchen on site where we observed young chefs in white jackets and chef hats prepare gorgeous food. Our huge room with concrete wax washed walls decorated by a young Cambodian designer. In the evening, a student turned down the bed and turned on the soft lights before we got back from the temples. Simple luxury and amazing service and good feelings supporting the program! Winning combination for a traveling heart.

Must go!
Pros:

Great place, all students are very prepared and willing to improve, always ready to help. The room was beautiful, with a big bathroom and big shower. Everything perfectly cleaned. The service is great - reception, room service - and breakfast is very good (both international and khmer options available) with very fresh products. We tried also the restaurant and it's absolutely one of the bests in Cambodia!!!
