Categories

Cleanliness
9.3
Multiple reviews explicitly praise cleanliness — rooms, tents, bathrooms and the river are described as very clean and well maintained.
Service
7.8
Mixed signals: most reviews praise Anna, Paolo and the team for attentive, five-star service and helpfulness (even in heavy rain), but one strong complaint describes unprofessional, uncaring treatment which lowers this score.
Location
9
Highly praised jungle/river location, tranquil with excellent views; noted as somewhat remote (a bit far from Koh Long) but generally considered part of the appeal.
Room Quality
9.3
Rooms/tents repeatedly described as large, very clean and well equipped (TV, library, quality bathroom accessories, bathrobes, yoga mat); no AC but effective fans and spacious ventilated bathrooms.
Amenities
9
Good selection of amenities and activities (kayaking, common areas, organized activities, sustainable/community programs); in-room and communal facilities well kept.
Value for Money
9.3
Multiple reviewers state the pricing is fair or even low relative to what is offered; considered good value for the experience and level of care.
Food and Beverage
9
Food described as really great and freshly prepared for each meal; service can be slow because dishes are made to order, but quality is high.
Overall Experience
9.3
Overall described as a magical, highly recommended stay with strong community and conservation values; however a notable negative report about customer care tempers the otherwise glowing consensus.

Heerlijke tijd gehad, we voelden ons verwend!
Pros:

Geweldige plaats, fijn rustig, erg attente bediening, goede excursies bijv. naar mangrove, tenten zijn luxe ingericht. Heerlijk zwemmen bij je eigen tent in de rivier. We hebben hier een paar heerlijke dagen gehad.
Het bedrijf gaat bewust met omgeving en natuur om en helpt lokale bevolking.

一定是大拇指的啦
Pros:

我們從高龍島出發過來,有點遠,但算方便,員工都很親切。所有設備都令人滿意,我們剛好遇到下大雨,所以晚上並不熱,我認為可以接受的溫度,半夜兩三點下大雨,員工還是過來拉防雨布,出餐算慢,但是因為現點現做,剛好我寧願等。總之,一切都很棒

Disappointed and unprofessional!
Cons:

I am deeply disappointed by the way people are treated here. It feels like they are taking advantage of guests’ misery instead of understanding!

The behavior I experienced was completely unprofessional and utterly lacking in empathy. In situations where you would expect basic human decency and respect of our situation.

This is not a place where customer care or compassion seems to matter. I would strongly advise others to think twice before engaging with this organization.

Magical place on a clean river in the jungle
Pros:

This is an incredibly magical place. Anna, Paulo and their teams have done an amazing job of providing five-star service in the middle of a beautiful jungle. The accommodations are smart and clean and rustic elegant. The water is warm, clear and clean. Perfect for a swim after trekking the jungle. Perhaps even better this Lodge contributes to the sustainable development of the local communities and to reduced poaching and illegal logging. They work closely with the ministry of environment and local rangers. Highly recommend this stay.

Cons:

Nothing it was fabulous and we'll be back!

A perfect magic place
Pros:

Perfect. It is a magical place, where everything is thought out and managed with extreme care, thanks to Anna and her staff. A small jewel set in a unique natural environment, which offers comfort of the highest level, respecting not only the guest but also the territory and the local population. A project as well as a resort. The rooms/tents are large, very clean, equipped with everything... even what you don't have time to use (TV, small library, quality bathroom accessories, bathrobes, yoga mat...) there is no air conditioning but it gets better: a very efficient system of fans with adequate power. The bathrooms are large, ventilated. Each room has its own privacy and outdoor spaces. Discreet but constant supervision. There are many common areas, well distributed and well maintained. The food is really great, prepared fresh for every meal. The activities offered - both free and paid - are studied in detail and allow you to understand how the life of the communities and the ecosystem works in this part of the world. The staff is recruited from local communities and prepared for an international welcome. In addition to this, the enthusiasm and passion of the staff are contagious, they convey a sense of pride and joy. Our personal thanks to Boora, Nareen (I certainly spelled it wrong... sorry) and of course Paolo who took care of us. Anna, already mentioned, unbelievable. I won't say anything else so as not to spoil a fantastic experience, made up of many little extra kindnesses that make this magical place. Each price would still be low for what they offer, but in any case it is always a fair cost, lower than what you might imagine and compared to the value of what you buy... a generous and far-sighted management to which I wish all possible satisfaction.

Cons:

Nothing

Nezapomenutelný pobyt v Canvas & Orchids
Pros:

Náš nejlepší pobyt v Kambodži! Cestování autobusem bylo trochu komplikovanější, ale stálo to za to.
Všichni zaměstnanci byli tak neuvěřitelně milí. Dokonce nám pomohli s transferem na ostrov Koh Rong, za což jsme velmi vděční 🙏 .
Stany byly luxusní, nechybělo vůbec nic. Postele pohodlné. Snídaně i večeře vynikající.
Okolí úžasné. Rybky vám udělají zdarma masáž, za kterou ve městě platíte. K dispozici byl kajak, který jsme mohli využívat neomezeně. Skvělý byl i ranní trek do džungle. A večerní výlet za světluškami byl dechberoucí. Celkově je toto místo nádherné, výborné k odpočinku a určitě stojí za návštěvu.

Tranquil glamping on the river
Pros:

The staff were really friendly and made an effort to adjust schedules to make the most of the gaps in the rain so that we could see as much as possible in our short stay. We enjoyed the boat trip.and the kayaking. The food was delicious and the tents were really comfortable. We were impressed with how clean everything was kept throughout the resort despite the pouring rain at times.

Cons:

It would be nice if there was a short walking trail from the resort just so that you could explore a little on your own.

Pleasant
Cons:

It needs an actual air conditioning unit. Bottom line. I booked 3 nights and left after the first night because I was miserably hot and sticky zipped up inside a tent in the rainforest of southern Cambodia.
