We were, as most travelers, there to see Angkor Wat. We booked for three nights--one post-travel, one for Angkor Wat, and one to just wander around. That was a good idea, so we spent a relaxing couple of days. The rooms were clean and nice. I enjoyed the restaurant. Nearby restaurants were awesome, too. We got ourselves a nice tuk tuk driver to take us around.

We loved the atmosphere but found the surrounding guest houses were much less in price, almost half. Apparently there was an understanding with the guest house that the Tuk Tuk who picked us up for free upon arrival would get our business and the return to airport at our cost. The guest house was extremely vague about this arrangement and unfortunately, the Tuk Tuk driver did not speak English at all. This made it a very uncomfortable arrangement for us.

Loved this place. Easy to get to, free pickup, and all the tuk-tuks knew it (seems to be a local gathering spot). Good restaurant on site. Staff was friendly, lots of guidebooks around and has a pool table. The negatives are that the storage locker is not in the room but in the foyer which is a little bit disconcerting and the staff messed up my laundry order - note if you are going to do laundry here, it might not always be on time as quite a few travelers at the place had problems with it.

The location of the place is excellent. A bit of walking from the Old Market but walking along the lake is agreeable. The staff here are very helpful and speaking good English. The room is a bit small but it is quite clean. There is a big and beautiful patio for reading and chilling out. Enjoy it. But they might have to change the cushions because they are not clean. And the only negative I would say here it's their common bathrooms on 4th floor. Malfunction during our entire stay.

1. Some of staff is very friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Miss Tear. She is good! 2. Good security by locking the entrance after 12am. However, nobody is ready there to open the door for u. I was waiting for 10mins for a staff to come down from upstairs. I was waited alone outside of hostel during mid night. 3. Good service and food. 4. It is stll have some distance to most happening place in Siem Reap town - Night Market and Pub street.

was everything ok, until when I came back from Ankor and I found my lugage outsite ot my room... they said thhey was full but this never haoend whit me in my traveler life, even at the cheapest hostels they ask before if ur going to stay or live at the next day. You can find a better places like The gold temple villa I stayed 1 day there and it is really nice with a bigg swiming pool

Hi and thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. I'm sorry about the misunderstanding over your room; when you booked your one night stay with us we were already fully booked for the following night, two days before Christmas Day. On check in you were discussing buying a ticket for the night bus to Bangkok the following night and this combined with the fact you'd only booked for one night did not strike our staff that you were planning to stay longer; had you asked you would have been told that we were already fully booked. As you had stayed at a different guesthouse for one night previously and did not require our free pick up we unfortunately did not have your tuk tuk driver's contact details to be able to contact you once check out time had come and gone and another guest was waiting to check into the room they had booked in advance. Our housekeeping staff reported to our reception staff that your room had not been vacated, and after checking with management were told to carefully pack up your bags and keep them in our reception for us to keep an eye on them before your return. My staff have now been briefed to confirm with guests who have booked one night stay only if more nights are required/if we are fully booked, to prevent this from happening again. I'm sorry you didn't mention in your review that you were offered to stay at Rosy and use our communal facilities free of charge before your night bus; balcony seating, laptop loan and WiFi, showers with free towel use etc, and that after you had taken a shower we personally walked with you to a new guesthouse to find a room for you and returned with your bags, called the night bus company to change your pick up location and then returned to your new guesthouse to confirm this for you. I would recommend booking extra nights in advance at any guesthouse if you would like to stay longer, especially in South East Asia during the high season over the next few months. We wish you happy travels for the rest of your journey, Rachel on behalf of The Rosy Guesthouse Team

The staff were really helpful, helping me book a guide for the temples at the last minute. The staff were really friendly and always happy to have a chat, and also making sure that I was happy with everything. My only issue was that the hostel organised me a taxi to go to the Thai border, and once arriving at the border and asking for directions the driver did not speak any english which made my transition across the border a little difficult.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. We're very happy that you enjoyed your time with us and the services offered by our team. Regarding your taxi to Poipet; the taxi drivers drop guests off right in front of the "Exit Cambodia" office, but I understand that the Poipet border is very busy and could be confusing. We currently produce and email guests an overland from Thailand document with tips to travel to Siem Reap from Thailand (Bangkok specifically) but do not have any documents for assisting with onwards travel. We will review to see if this is needed for future guests, thank you for bringing this to our attention. Best wishes for your future travels, Rachel on Behalf of the Rosy Guesthouse Team.

Fabulous place! Really friendly, helpful staff, great food, very welcoming bar area, lovely room. Power cuts are par for the course in Cambodia, so I can't blame them for that. If anything, the bathrooms aren't amazing, but it's a small point.

We loved everything about Rosy Guesthouse. Our room was stylish, comfortable and immaculately clean. The staff were incredibly helpful and the food was absolutely delicious - so much so that we've been reminiscing about our stay since we left. The guesthouse is situated on a quiet street a short walk from the main town and market.

Our stay at the Rosy was great! Simon and Rachel have thought of literally everything that you might want - DVDs, books, free and reliable wifi, sociable bar, friendly and super helpful staff who can't do enough for you, good beer and delicious food (british comfort or local khmer) all at very good prices. It's far enough away from town that you don't feel caught in the middle of it all but just a short tuk tuk away. So all in all, a great place to stay. Thanks to everyone at Rosy!

Fantastic! This place is run like a dream. The staff were brilliant and super helpful with anything/everything. The food offered is traditional as well as great western feeds for those missing home. Room was spacious/comfortable, great bed & a/c. The upstairs balcony and downstairs hang out were both awesome and we wished we could have stayed longer than 3 days. Free bus transfer only adds. Highly recommend!

I stayed at Rosy Guest House for four nights with my friend. I really enjoyed my stay and the staff could not have been more helpful. The location is perfect for those wanting to explore Siem Reap without the trashy backpacker scene that is Pub Street.
