Bun Kao Guest House Reviews

Mr. Kao, the owner, is the absolute nicest. He was so helpful in helping me plan my days at the temples. I hired a tuk tuk driver through the hostel for only 13usd for the whole day. I also really loved the location. It wasn't near the main market where all the tourists live so you get a more genuine experience. Even so, the market is only a easy 20 min walk away. This is definitely not a party hostel. If you want to chill and meet cool people, then stay here!

Excellent stay, quiet location 15 mins walk from the main tourist area. The staff are most welcoming, our visit coincided with the Khymer new year and the owner invited every guest, including those from neighbouring guesthouses to participate in celebrations with his family and friends. This included a variety of homemade khymer cuisine, dancing and a copious amount of alcohol. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone.

Decent lodging facilities that are value for money. Mr. Bun Kao is one of the nicest people around and very friendly; and his staff are very helpful.

Although it was a quiet guesthouse (I stayed in the dorm and only really met one person...), the owner is absolutely wonderful. I had made a mistake and booked a day later than when I was actually arriving. Confused about not having the airport pickup, I called the guesthouse and (even though it was my fault for the confusion) they sent someone right away to get me. The owner is absolutely wonderful and very friendly. Highly recommended just for the friendliness of the place!

What a surprisingly serene stay in a hub of guesthouses! Mr. Bun Kao was a gracious host, guiding me towards local night markets for tasty Khmer food and even taking me out to the countryside for an unexpectedly adventurous last morning in Siem Reap! I hope our paths cross again, Mr. Bun Kao, in the future~ My only complaint would be the small trail of ants emerging from my bathroom corner beginning on the 2nd day...

Mr. Bun Kao is really a nice person, and he helped me a lot about my trip. More than 15 minutes of walk to the night market, but the zone is full of guesthouses and its obviously quiet and safe.

It was a good hostel. The coffee was great!

There was absolutely nothing negative to say about this guesthouse. Mr Bun Kao and all his staff were lovely and couldn\'t do enough for you. The rooms were spacious and well equipped and were cleaned every day with clean linen. The wifi was free with a good signal and didnt get switched off as with most guesthouses! Breakfast was huge and included in the price which was only £3.30 per night! I fail to see how he makes any profit for himself? I would highly recommend it to anyone!

The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful.

Mr Bun Kao is one of the kindest person i met so far!

very nice and helpful staff. clean,free water,tea,coffee. Good location, quite at night. It's only 15-20min walk to the Old Market and Night Market. If u r gonna stay in Siem Reap, go there!

Nice little place with very helpful and nice family staff. Good price, the location is away from the main touristy area, but Siem Reap is so small it doesn't matter. It's actually a good thing! There is a wonderful little restaurant at the hostel next door!

i totally enjoyed my stay in Siem reap. very friendly staff and good facility. i definitely recommend this to my friends!!

I will not recommend the breakfast, but the dorm is good. A little bit far from old town, but by bike everything is ok.

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.
