Overall, great stay! Room seemed a little dated but the staff, character, and location more than made up for it. Would stay there again!

Booking at Rosy Guest House was one of the best things my boyfriend and I love in our trip to Siem Reap. The room was clean, and kept clean on our whole 3-day stay; they've been very helpful, answering my emails before we got to Cambodia until we arrived, they tried their best in assisting us; and topping my list of faves was the warm, friendly staff who always have time for a quick chat. We'll definitely be back.

This is the best hostel experience I have ever had. The main selling point was the service. We were promptly picked up in a tuk-tuk from the airport by a friendly driver who had water for us. We told the staff what we thought would be good to see and do. They made some recommendations and coordinated everything for us immediately. We had drivers waiting for us outside, they made us lunch (reasonably priced and delicious). Drivers knew our itinerary for the day and spoke English.

We spent 4 nights at Rosis. The staff is super friendly and helpfull, specially to organise day trips to the temples or tuk-tuk to anywhere including the floating village. There is a great balcony on the first floor. Rooms have AC, moquito nets on the windows and are clean though the furniture is not the newest. It's a bit out of town (15min walk) which is actually quite good. Definitely recommended! We also recommend the wednesday night shadow puppet show at la Noria (next door).

I LOVED this place! It is clean, well run, has a great bar/restaurant, and tons of great staff (all the receptionists are wonderful and "Lucky" the tuk-tuk driver is great!). The only downside for some would be that it is about a 5-10 minute walk to get to most of the bars and restaurants. But the walk is easy and when I come back to Siem Reap, I wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else! One of my favorite hostels ever!

We really enjoyed our time spent at Rosy's. The only regret we have is that we didn't get to stay for longer. The staff was friendly and helpful. They arranged for our tuk tuk to drive us around the temples and for our bus to Phnom Penh. We will definitely return if our travels take us back to Siem Reap.

My partner Mel and I had a very nice stay at the Rosy guesthouse, the whole place made me feel like i was staying in my own home. The staff were very friendly and only too happy to help us with whatever we needed or wanted to organise, making us feel very welcome at all times. Good tunes playing in the bar, and nice cold beer on tap, and a cider I had not drank since 2007. There was also a big variety on their menu and all very tasty. Great stay, have recommended it to many.Choice pick in Reap

The location was fantastic - about 10 minute walk to the old town. The accommodation provided many facilities, such as pc, wifi, dvds, pool table, and restaurant/cafe too. Special mention to Sokunthea who was such a delight to deal with. Also Geewan our tuk tuk driver provided excellent service, very polite and considerate - definitely recommend his services. Only improvement to suggest are bedsheets we had had a few rips and therefore can see state of matress.

A complete new set of 100% cotton, white sheets are on order already which will replace every single sheet we currently use. We are now just waiting for delivery; our housekeepers are very excited about this! Thanks for the feedback though. We hope you enjoy the rest of your travels; see you again when next in Siem Reap.

Great Hostel run by a British couple. Had a great bar/cafe area where the food was really good for decent prices. Located about 10 mins walk from the centre of the city but about 6km from the Angkor temples. Would definately recommend this hostel.

The hostel was responsive on e-mail in arranging a pick-up. But the tuk-tuk driver went to the wrong place, so we took our own driver. When we arrived at the hostel, the other driver was there -- upset -- and we were blamed for the confusion. Also, we needed internet at night for work purposes, and were told in advance it was available. It didn't work the first night (because of a rat, we were told), but the second night it didn't work either. We would've stayed elsewhere, had we known.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us; I'm glad to see you rated us 4 out of 5 for character, security, location and fun, and I'm happy you felt we were top rated for cleanliness; I will pass this on to our hardworking housekeeping staff. I'd like to reply to the two points you raised but were less happy with; the pre arranged pick up and our internet connection. As per our emails we sent a driver to the bus stop for your chosen bus company however somehow he could not find you. I understand you called my staff when you had arrived but could not see the driver and my staff tried to liaise to get the driver to you but in the end you decided to take one of the other tuk tuks at the bus station to us; understandable. I'm sorry that our driver could not find you and that you had the inconvenience of having to call us and wait around at the bus station. As per our policy Sou Poan (our staff who was on reception that day) offered straight away to pay for your tuk tuk once you arrived at the guesthouse. I do not feel that you were at fault in anyway, so again I apologise if you felt you were blamed for the pick up issue, this would be out of character for Sou Poan. I have spoken to the driver in question and I hope that if it was him who you felt was blaming you, that he understands this is not acceptable in the future. With so many different bus companies running and all stopping at different places and so many tourists and tuk tuks at each bus stop, sometimes mistakes and confusions happen. I apologise if the internet was not working as promised; we have a fibre optic 1MB up/download 7am-7pm during the week and 2 MB up/download at the evenings and weekends which is one of the fastest internet connections available in Cambodia. I was surprised to hear that indeed a rat had eaten our main external internet cable during the night on the first evening you were with us (A new one even to us!), which Sou Poan spotted in the morning and organised with our ISP to have fixed that same day. I am sorry to hear that the following night the internet was not working for you; we keep all modems and WiFi routers on 24/7 so any interruption in service that night was due to our internet connection being interrupted; I apologise for this and thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will be performing spot checks at night time from now on and contact our ISP if we are not receiving the speed agreed. I hope you enjoy the rest of your travels. Thank you again for reviewing us. Rachel, on Behalf of the Rosy Guesthouse Team

Rosy Guesthouse was one of my favorite hostels on my SE Asia trip. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and I particularly appreciated that they gave us excellent advice upon arrival regarding tourist attractions in the area and how to get around the city.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They also replied to each and every e-mail promptly when I booked and confirmed my booking. They also helped with a tuk-tuk driver for pick up from airport and around Siem Reap. The rooms itself were small but very clean - wouldn't ask for more as the rates are extremely reasonable and we only need a room for a good night's rest and a shower. I also appreciated the extra mile they went to make the Guesthouse cosy and homely. Thanks for a pleasant stay.

Very friendfull and helpfull staff...they helpt us a lot with our VISA for Vietnam since we were short on time (only had 2days left to enter Vietnam again). Tour to the temples (2days) was great! The food was also very nice. Loved the Geckos around the place. They were even organising a Halloween day for the children around. Would definitely stay there again...great stay!!
