About

Perched above the island with stunning panoramic sea and jungle views, Hillside Hostel & Bungalows offers the perfect balance between social energy and peaceful island living.

Located on Koh Rong Island, we are just a 5-minute walk from the beach, 10 minutes from restaurants and markets, and only 10 minutes from Nestival – close enough for the fun, far enough for a good night’s sleep.

Our hostel is designed for backpackers, solo travellers, and long-stay guests looking for more than just a bed. Relax on our terrace balcony with ocean views, meet fellow travellers at our social bar, or enjoy the calm hillside atmosphere surrounded by nature.

We offer comfortable air-conditioned accommodation including 4 spacious dorm rooms (8 beds each) and 4 private bungalows with ensuite bathrooms – ideal whether you travel solo or want your own private space.

Please note: as our name suggests, we are located on a hillside, so there is a short uphill walk to reach us. In return, you get fresh air, peaceful surroundings, and some of the best views on the island.

Come for the location, stay for the vibe, leave with new friends.

Summary of traveller reviews

Hillside Hostel & Bungalows in Koh Rong Island is praised for its incredibly friendly and helpful staff who create a warm, family-like atmosphere. Guests love the stunning views and comfortable, clean dorms with blackout curtains. It's a great spot for solo travellers and those seeking a relaxed vibe, though the uphill walk is noted.

It's the best hostel I've ever stayed in, the place is too quiet, you can really feel the peace of nature and Volkan the owner is very helpful, anything you need this one to help you. It makes you feel at home, it makes you want to stay much longer. Thank you so much for my best days in Cambodia

If you are someone who wants to socialise but does not want the rowdiness of a typical party hostel, then Hillside is the place for you. As a solo female traveller I found the atmosphere to be very relaxed and I soon felt at home during my 10 day stay. This hostel has just been recently renovated so all the facilities are super new. The staff here are also very welcoming and can help you with anything you need regarding the island. Can’t recommend this place enough

Had a lovely stay at Hillside ✨ A team full of good vibes, always happy to share, friendly, attentive, and they do everything to make you feel comfortable and at home Update: they’re actually not that good at pool, so it’s the perfect place to become a champion Thanks to Nass, Volkan, Eric and Valentino for the warm welcome. All the best, see you soon 🫶 P.S. Big up to Eric’s iced coffee!
