Un ravissant hôtel au calme à 10 minutes à pied du centre ville de Siem Reap
Pros:

- L'accueil et le côté familial : On se sent vite à l'aise.
- La gentillesse du personnel (mention spéciale au monsieur qui a le tuk tuk).
- La piscine dans la verdure
- La proximité du centre ville (10 minutes à pied)
- La décoration et la taille de la chambre
- La climatisation
- La possibilité de faire garder nos bagages jusqu'au soir le dernier jour (jusqu'à notre bus de nuit)
- La possibilité de louer moto, service de lingerie... par l'intermédiaire de la patronne
- La tranquillité de l'hôtel (par rapport à l'effervescence de la ville)
- La proximité de l'école
- La ville de Siem Reap très agréable
- La réception ouverte 24/24

Cons:

Super !
Pros:

Le personnel est adorable. On s'y est vraiment sentis bien ici ! L'hotel est très calme, un peu reculé mais facilement accessible à pieds dans le centre, loin de l'agitation. Nous ça nous a parfaitement convenu ! Le petit déjeuner est simple mais très bien aussi. On a pu booké avec le propriétaire de l'hotel la visite des temples au lever de soleil, c'était top de pouvoir s'organiser comme on le souhaitait. La piscine est un + mais très froide à cette période attention ahah. Notre chambre était spacieuse avec un grand balcon.

Cons:

La propreté pourrait être améliorée, beaucoup de fourmis dans les toilettes et chambre. L'eau chaude de la douche qui varie beaucoup.

Facilities were good with great pool area. Large bed and comfortable room
Ordered dinner through Sam So menu on first night which came very quickly This was outsourced from local restaurant

The staff were so friendly and helpful.
They organised a trip for us to Angkor Wat by tuk tuk with Me T - he could not have been more helpful as well

Pros:

Velice milý a vstřícný personál, vyšli nám vstříc se všemi požadavky. Osobní uvítání od majitele hotelu i rozloučení při našem odjezdu. Krásný, čistý bazén s masážními tryskami. Výborné snídaně. Hotel je starší, udržovaný, velice dobře architektonicky zvládnutý. Pokoje jsou prostorné a pohodlné.

Pros:

Due to condition of hotel we didn't stay. As soon as we went in room we found no Air condition, bugs were flying all over and no elevator. Owner was very rude and she refused to refund us. Immediately we left and moved in to different hotel. I urge Expedia to refund us.

Pros:

Sam So Villa was a cozy clean place. The staff were very friendly and nice people. They were very attentive to the guests needs and was very hospitable. This place was very close to the old market and the night market.
Shopping and restaurants was walkable distance. Keep up the good work Devi, Mr.T and other staff.
Definitely I would recommend this place.

Pros:

The reception by owner and staff was very good. The place is hidden among local houses which was a surprise and not among other hotels. People were friendly. The vote is nice in appearance. Some updates on amenities and fixing of older things would help.

Pros:

I didnt get housekeeping the first day. The second day they didn't come. Day three i asked and they made my bed. No towels, no garbage pick up, no water or coffee left.

I went down to ask for towels and garbage pick up but they didn't understand.

I brought my own garbage down one day and had to get toilet paper another.

Pros:

It was our first time in Siem Reap. It took an hour , by Grab taxi, to get to the hotel. Like all the others. We just forgot the hotel management could arrange transportation to and from the hotel.
Our expectation was not so high regarding the place. We were, however, blown away by the kindness and service provided by each employee, Mr. T was always at his feet making sure we were comfortable. The owner, was welcoming and ready to help. She even took time to bid us farewell. The room was so clean, amenities provided. Bed was comfortable.
Breakfast was quite generous and excellent
They always served mango and dragon fruit after each heavy meal.
Shuttle service provided to the airport was fair.
The owner even offered us a variety of excursions that were reasonably priced with pick up at the hotel. We booked even the night before the tour.
Our departure flight was at night. The owner allowed us to check out as late as 12 noon and leave our luggages while we strolled the city and watched the yearly boat parade. When we arrived at the hotel we were offered cold bottle water which we weren’t charged for. We didn’t even ask for it. We left at 5 pm satisfied and thankful for such a memorable trip.
