Très satisfait du séjour passé au Cambodge, nous recommandons les yeux fermés cet établissement.

Le seul bémol me concernant, l'oreiller pour dormir n'était pas très confortable.

Pros:

Der Besitzer hat uns 80% des bereits vollständig bezahlten Preises zurück erstattet.

Cons:

Wir hatten das Zimmer am Pool. An Privatsphäre war nicht zu denken! Es roch außerdem leider extrem nach Schimmel und Raumdeo. Wir baten um ein anderes Zimmer. Während das sehr zuvorkommende Personal bemüht war, eine Lösung zu finden, warteten wir auf unserer Terrasse. Zu unserem Entzetzen liefen zwei große Ratten über die Terrasse und wir entdeckten einen Rattenbau am Rand der Terrasse. Da man uns leider kein anderes Zimmer anbieten konnte verließen wir die Unterkunft nach 30 Minuten.

Scam
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Its a scam. I was told the room is under maintenance on the day I arrive. Shouldnt they know in advance if any room to go under maintenance??? They just mismanage and overbooking and transfer us to other hotel.

Nice place to stay when in PP
Pros:

Great location, the pool was amazing and overall very comfortable.

Cons:

The AC was a bit older so it was doing weird noise sometimes. Also the overall facilities was a bit older that it seems on pictures but was still very nice.
