Hak is a great guy. He is very welcoming and a soon as there is a complaint he will put some of his staff onto fixing the problem. Staff is also very friendly. Hostel is located a bit outside the town centre. It's relatively quiet and you can walk to the centre in about 15 min. WiFi doesn't work in all rooms so you might have to go to the dining area to connect. Had hot shower but water pressure very low. Cleaner came every day. She only seemed to empty my bin. The floor hadn't been cleaned.

Delicious tomato /cheese bread at breakfast time. I still think about it. Better when you take it for sunrise at the ankorwat.

Hak was amazing, very helpful booking tours and ringing the bus station. Food was average, after having one meal on arrival decided to eat elsewhere. Room was comfy although the fan didnt touch us so we were boiling and then a power cut meant we were even more roasting. 10-15min walk from pub st which isnt too bad with a beer in hand otherwise 1 dollar tuk tuks which Hak organises. Amazing DVD collection for chilling

Hak has great English. The hotel is a little out of the way but he provides free bikes for easy access into town. It is good value for money with a free pick up from the bus station (I got picked up at 2AM), free breakfast, free water, free internet etc. and if you pay for a dorm, you get a twin room (shared) with a nice ensuite and TV . NOT happy with the laundry service, my clothes came back with dirty, with holes in. No real sign of an apology and I still had to pay! Quite upsetting.

Super value for money. We stayed there for newyear and Hak organised a cool party for free for us. He works together with tuktuk drivers who were maybe just a bit more expensive than the ones who you can find in the street but it is worth to go with them as they were so reliable and friendly! Long story short: Place n°1 in Siem Reap

If you are a budget traveler looking for a little bit of comfort then look no further. Excellent value and staff are tremendous. You are in safe hands here; though you might want to look around for a knowledgeable tuk tuk driver. Hak's English is excellent and he is always around to help. Rooms are very comfortable and clean. TV has a wide range of satellite channels with good reception. Stay here. No need to look around.

A bit far of the center, specially after a day walking in Angkor. The staff is really helpful but be careful when you book, one of the 2 honeymoon suite is at the 1st floor of the building, just above the hall and near the stairs, so you have all the noise of people coming, going out, eating breakfast...... No really "honeymoon" style.... Except this, it's a good hostel.

A very nice hostel. I stayed in a single delux room and enjoyed it. Very clean and welcoming. There is no wifi in the rooms, but it works well in the entrance area. The hostel is about a fifteen minute walk from town, but tuk tuks are ready and willing to help you out for a dollar or two. The hostel does not offer a complimentary map, so be sure to bring your own. Folks who stayed in hostels in town said it was very noisey. Huk's is quiet and you will sleep well!

Staff is Amazing. Hak the owner takes care of his guests and he is always available if you need. Very good isolation in the room from noise. Unfortunately I've been really disappointed by the location. Far from town (free bikes provided in limited number), wifi not working in the rooms, no hot water in our room no toothbrush/paste. It's small things but I paid for it and didn't get them. Our Tuk Tuk driver didn't speak English, and the 12USD price, is if you just want to see the main temples.

Didn't end up staying at Hak's House - but their sister guest house just down the road. The location is not bad - a 10 minute walk down a pot-holed riddled (December 2011) to the market area. Saw both hostels and they're both very clean, spacious, and friendly. Both have free computers to use. Like I said, only downside is a small walk to the town. Yes, I would recommend it.

Actually a nice place BUT I had the worst welcome ever there of my whole RTW trip. Arriving on the boat jetty, the tuktuk driver sent from the hotel told me the ride would be 4$ instead of the proposed 2$. So I instead shared another tuktuk with two tourists. At Hak´s, I had to justify myself to the owner several times for not taking the ride with the cheaty driver. I was tired and had a headache and didn´t see any point for that discussion. Thoroughly spoiled my arrival in SR. Shouldn´t happen!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hak's house! The staff are so informative and helpful. We booked two one day trips to the angkor wat temples with one of the hostels tuk tuk drivers who spoke excellent english and was more than happy to show us around. The tours were excellent value for money. The rooms were clean and tidy, and a tuk tuk to town was only a mere $1 or $2. We would stay again!
