With this article we would like to make you discover Cambodia and it’s historical cultural heritage. You will find here some recommendations about your transfers and accommodations.
Cambodia Taxi Driver
The first recommendation we can give you is to find a reliable driver. Its very important to have a professional private driver who could take you all over Cambodia in security.
One of the most reliable companies that can provide you good private drivers is Cambodia Taxi Driver. They are located in Siem Reap but they can provide you also drivers from Phnom Penh, in case your tour starts from the capital.
They have different cars for small and large groups. SUV for couples, Toyota Sienna for small groups or also Toyota Coaster, large buses for bigger groups. They provide English and French speaking drivers who work with Westerners since 10 years and they know how to deal with them. An important criteria that you will appreciate a lot.
Your hotels
As to the hotels, here please some suggestions of accommodations for comfort and segments.
If you prefer properties with comfortable and clean rooms with mid-range budget, you can choose the following hotels for your private tour to Cambodia.
Phnom Penh: Tea House Hotel (try to book the option of ”Superior” room, as it’s more spacious)
Siem Reap: Paradise Residence (former Advaya Residence), nice staff, good location.
Battambang: Sangker Villa (cosy atmosphere, charming small property)
Kampong Thom: Sambor Village hotel (simple but clean)
Banlung: Terres Rouge Lodge (it’s more luxury hotel, hence a bit expensive. However Banlung is an of the beaten path destination, so for that reason, the comfort options of accommodations are not so comfortable and sometimes not very clean. So it’s better to deal with Terres Rouge Lodge.
Sen Monorom: Nature lodge (it’s an eco-lodge, so a bit basic, choose the ”Cottage” option for more comfort)
Kratie: Rajabori Villas Resort (Kratie is also not very popular touristic destination, for that reason here also the comfort options of hotels are not very well maintained. It’s better to book a bit expensive option of accommodation to avoid bad surprises)
Kampong Cham: Lbn Asian Hotel (it’s not an ideal hotel with character, however, it’s on of the best options in case you make a stop in Kampong Cham)
Kep: Raingsey Bungalow (very nice, quiet and clean, an excellent place to relax)
Kampot: Pippali Boutique hotel (not more than a comfortable hotel. Normally you can spend more than 1 overnight in Kep, instead to stay in Kampot, as this 2 cities are just at 30 minutes from each other)
Koh Rong Samloem: Sky Beach Resort (great place with nice beach)
If you prefer more luxury accommodations, here please some great addresses:
In Phnom Penh: The Plantaion hotel is the best choice
Siem Reap: Golden Temple Retreat
Sen Monorom: Mayura Hill Resort (the only luxury option in the area)
Kep: Veranda Natural Resort (for a real luxury retreat)
Koh Rong Samloem: The One Resort (try to book in advance, as the hotel has limited availability especially during the high season)
