Bun Kao Guest House Reviews

This guesthouse was excellent. The staff was extremely helpful and the rooms very well-priced. Everyone was ready to help you with day-trips, bookings, anything you needed. The market area looks far on the map, but it's only a ten minute walk and it's a very nice one at that. I recommend a stay here if you're headed to Siem Reap. Very relaxing.

Nice old but well maintained house, about a 12min walk from the old city (3min by bike). Very friendly staff, always helpful. Very clean and decent rooms, w-lan reception in the room may depend on the room your staying in (ours worked - room no 6). Food also very yummy and pleinty, including free breakfast, coffee and tea. We are travelling for more than 2 months now. This place is our first stop in Cambodia, however among the top 3 places we stayed at so far.

Simple but not just simplicity. They have really good staff here. They also provide airport picking-up service and tuk-tuk/motor/bike service. The owner of the guest house, Mr.Bun Kao, is a very hard-working and hospital man. During my stay, he celebrate his 55th birthday with all the clients and invited us in dinner. Just like staying home. He himself also support 8 local schools, providing the students with books, bikes etc. So if you stay here, indirectly part of your payment goes to charity

We stayed in January 2012 - Bun Kao guesthouse was very friendly and welcoming, picked us up from the boat depot, breakfasts were great, really helpful around Siem Reap and the staff were lovely. Their friendly tuk tuk driver (Mr Quy?) took us around Ankor Wat as well as picking us up and dropping us off to various places and was a real pleasure to spend a day with. Highly recommend this place.

The guesthouse is generally nice and the staff very friendly, but: 1. wireless internet was not accessible in my room and is likely not accessible or of very poor connection quality in other rooms as well. 2. occasionally there was no running water (shower, sink and toilet)! That would happen in the evening between 7pm and 2 am and last for intervals as long as five hours!

This place is owned and run by a local family that was exceptionally nice and accommodating. The room I stayed in was decent, but very good value for the rock bottom price I paid. The location is decent and about a 15 minute walk from the main area. The only downsides were that the WiFi wasn't working when I was there and the breakfast wasn't great.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there - the staff went out of their way to be polite and helpful and it all felt very genuine. I was looked after and the guest house was clean, reasonably priced and peaceful. An excellent choice.

The hostel was very clean. Breakfast was cheap, tasty and filling. The staff were always willing to help--they brought extra breakfast and made sure we had cold water, recommended local restaurants, and set up transportation to/from the bus station and a driver for Angkor Wat. They also spoke English well. Even though we hadn't booked a second night, they offered us free showers when we were dropped off at the hostel at the end of a hot day. I would definitely stay here if I came back.

While I was staying at Bun Kao I became very Ill and was taken care of by the family who runs the guesthouse. Beyond just making me meals and bringing me water and other necessities, when my health got worse they came to visit me in the hospital to check in on me and bring me some fruit. It's a great place to stay if you want a solid base for exploring Siem Reap and the Angkor complex.

I liked my 4d/3n stay very much. Nice people, good quality/price ratio. Also nice guests.

We stayed in a triple room for three nights and had a wonderful stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and great at helping organise trips by tuk tuk around the Angkor temples. They also booked us bus tickets at the correct price. Hot water, cable TV, fan and AC - all of which worked well. Close to the town centre (15 min walk or $1 tuk tuk). Highly recommended.

A beautiful and clean guesthouse with the friendliest staff I've encountered so far. We stayed in the dorm room which was very clean with clean towels and beds remade everyday. There is WiFi but also fast computers downstairs which are ideal for uploading photo's when travelling. There is a boy that works there that was very friendly and helpful and even took us to see his family at the floating village and gave us lots of information about it. Would definitely recommend staying here!!!

cant say much about the fun part, because there were only 3-5 people staying at the guesthouse. but extremely friendly stuff, clean and all for a very good price.

Brilliant guest house, I would highly recommend it!

very good place. So lovely people, they are always smiling, but they don't try to sell everytime something. They clean the room every day, without asking ! Very helpful. The divers who works with them are very nice and lovely too.

Our group stayed in three different hostels during our recess break in Cambodia. Bun Kao was definitely our favorite. The staff were so incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Mr. Bun Kao himself. Our tuk-tuk driver Mr. Kouch was also such a swell guy. He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. The rooms were clean, there was hot water, and if you're lucky you'll have a view of the crocodile farm out back.

We really would like to thank Koich, our tuk-tuk driver, because he was particularly sympathetic and that was a pleasure to speak French with him! We will definitely recommend this guesthouse to our French friends.

very helpfull staff extreemly clean and quiet. one of the best value for money hostels i have stayed at.

It was just amazing. All staffs are great and warm. they were very helpful Location is good only one dollar away by tuk tuk(cambodian transport) Hot water and room was clean. U never be disappointed :)
