Good Place Good People
Pros:

The bungalow was spacious and spotlessly clean, as was the bedding. The rooms are cleaned daily by the polite and friendly cleaning staff. The mattress on the bed is some kind of memory foam so very soft and comfortable compared to many of the hard mattresses you tend to find in SE Asia. The bathroom has a hot shower with good water pressure.
The room has a large bed, good aircon, large fan, refrigerator, kettle with some complimentary tea and coffee, a table and two chairs as well as a clothes rack with lots of hangers to hang your clothes up. There's another table where you can put items and store your bags underneath. Two bottles of water are provided everyday for free. The room also has decent WiFi. There's a good sized terrace area at the front of the bunglaow with a table and two chairs where you can chill out and enjoy the beautiful trees and plants in the tropical garden.
The location is just a few minutes walk away from the crab market and various restaurants.There's also a small shop for essentials and an atm within easy walking distance.
The owners are lovely friendly people and are very helpful. They can arrange tuk tuks, and tours etc and will also help you hire a scooter or even loan you a free bicycle so you can explore the coast. They serve a good breakfas, as well as various beverages including beer and coffee, for a very reasonable price.
I noticed some reviews criticising the fact that the disabled and rescued cats at the property are kept in cages. This is really unfair to the owners. The cats are kept in large cages where they have space to move around and are regularly taken out to play and get some exercise indoors. The blind cat even gets walked on a leash. If these cats were allowed to roam freely outdoors then they probably wouldn't last very long as they dont have the street smarts to deal with the dogs and other animals that could hurt them.

Cons:

Nothing. I really enjoyed my stay and would happily stay again if I ever return to Kep. Thanks very much Steve and Sotheary!

Your perfect Kep stay is right here.
Pros:

Psst, this is THE place to stay in Kep. Steve and his wonderful team are fantastic — so attentive, kind and great to chat to. Our eggs in the morning were always just what we needed. The property’s right by Kep National Park and a stone’s throw from the top local crab restaurants, so it couldn’t be more ideal in terms of location. And as for peace and comfort, you’re guaranteed it in the calming bungalows. Just brilliant.

A Peaceful Oasis Near Kep’s Crab Market and National Park
Pros:

We booked this property for its proximity to the crab market and restaurants and we ended up also finding a peaceful little oasis. It’s within walking distance of the gorgeous Kep National Park loop, a mostly shaded, paved 2–3 hour hike that would be great even for families with strollers. After two years of full-time travel, we were tired of the tourist crowds, so discovering Kep was a breath of fresh air. It’s close enough to Kampot for conveniences (like unexpected dental care), yet far enough to feel quiet and uncrowded. The small property and rooms are spotless, run by a lovely couple (and their friendly staff and cute pets), who also kindly arranged a reasonably priced private transfer to Sihanoukville for us. We stayed in AC rooms, but when a storm knocked out the power inside, plugging in a fan outside kept us cool, so the non-AC rustic cabins would likely be comfortable too. All of the cabins are well-shaded by the beautiful landscaping, and spaced for privacy. The inexpensive but generously portioned breakfasts were also a big highlight. And it was such a treat to finally enjoy a decent cup of coffee! This has been one of our favorite guesthouses in SE Asia. We stayed a week but easily could’ve stayed a month.

Cons:

No negatives— but be aware they only take cash

Everything! From the wonderful owners and staff, all the lovely animals, the help they offered, the breakfasts...everything was great. The bungalow had so much space and the bed was large and comfy with a big mosquito net. I loved the peace and enjoyed reading on my hammock!

Back to Nature
Pros:

Great cottage accommodation, with good en-suite shower. Spotlessly clean. Situated in a quiet area, only a short walk from The Crab Market. Excellent service from Steve & his lovely wife. Good breakfast option. A real "Back to Nature" experience.

Cons:

No A/C, but maybe that would spoil the experience.
