Close to beach and activities
Pros: Big room, a/c and fan provided, bar fridge provided (no mini bar), can rent motor bike from hotel but beware of cops who look to fine foreigners without a license, nice pool area, room had a big tinted window with view to pool, owner is friendly and attentive, staff speak English and are friendly (if you can find them), town map and tourist information is provided at reception, good location, it is 5-10 minutes’ walk to the beach/cafes/bars, have wifi but no computer with internet ('internet cafes' are available in nearby convenience stores).
Cons: Smelly room due to the non-flushable toilet (must empty toilet by spraying bowl with a high pressure water hose), metal toilet components and hose were rusty, bathroom feels unclean, no shower screen (toilet is right beside the shower), bathroom floor floods, limited toiletries provided (toothbrush, comb, hand soap - no shampoo/conditioner or body soap), poor water pressure in shower, hot water is warm only, thin and hard foam mattress, bed sheets were too small for the bed and so they did not cover us sufficiently (no doona or comforter was provided - just a top sheet), TV reception faded in and out (we had to re-tune the TV a couple of times), no coffee/tea facilities in room, during the night we were kept awake by karaoke and in the early hours of the morning we were woken by Buddhist chanting.

Sorry that we did not hear about your toilet problem until after your departure, it took maintenance 10 seconds to fix the problem. As Cambodia has a very hot climate, comforters and blankets are available on request. Running A/C units at 22 degrees also helps. The religious chanting was a funeral service for an important local dignitary, these can last for 3 days. We provide basic toiletries and room facilities to help keep our room prices lower.
