Pet friendly Hotels Kep

We absolutely loved our time here and even extended our stay because we didn’t want to leave! The location is right next to the National Park and overlooking the ocean - it’s stunning. We enjoyed the visits from the local monkeys. Our room was spacious and comfortable and we loved the private outdoor seating area and shower with a spectacular view. The restaurant food was of a very high standard and breakfast buffet had a huge variety. We especially loved the freshly baked almond croissants!! Finally, the staff were simply outstanding and we enjoyed fabulous service from them all. Of all the places we have stayed in Vietnam and Cambodia, this was our favourite and we will definitely be back!

My party of five arrived in Kep today at 6:30 pm. It was dark, and after five hours of traveling in a mini-van, we got a tuk tuk to take us to Kep Bungalows. We had reserved three rooms - 2 standards and a superior. When I entered my standard room, the smell of mold and sewer hit me. The walls were disgustingly dirty and there was a hole in the upper corner of one wall. And I am not exaggerating when I say that there was a thick coat of dust on the fan. Then I heard a knock on my door. It was my daughter. Their room, which was right next to mine, was just as dilapidated as mine. With our bags in our hands, we went to our friends’ room. Their room was nice. We told them that we were not staying. Suffice to say, when they saw the stark contrast between their superior (R3?) to our standard room (A4 & A5), they were shocked. When we explained our concerns to the desk people, they said it could not be dirty because the rooms were cleaned that morning and the man said he personally checked the cleaning himself. My son-in-law, the desk woman, and an older child went to see the room. The boy came back after a few minutes and confirmed it did stink. Then a few minutes more passed and the woman and my son-in-law came back. The woman said we had dirtied the room. Really? We were there for about 2 minutes and knew it was not going to work. When asked about the holes, she said it was just the rats (plural) and they had put tissues in the hole for that reason. Rats?! We were told, “It’s the jungle.” Uh, no it’s not. The room, they argued, is the standard room and we should have paid the higher price for the better room. We explained that we were not complaining about the size of the room, but our concern was of the cleanliness of the room. Also, when showing them the pictures on Agoda, they said we should have known those were “old photos.” What? It was, we explained, more like false advertisement and that they should update the photos so people knew what to expect. We wanted to take pictures, but they said no. By this time, the man had reached a point that started to make us uncomfortable. A few of us had already witnessed his hands balling up and was quite agitated. We called tuk tuk driver who had given us his card and spent the next hour calling several hotels to see if they had three rooms available, which were not easy to find because of the holiday, and driving to some of them to ask if we could see their rooms because we did not want to be fooled by pictures again. *My daughter and son-in-law are fluent In Khmer. The other three, including me, have been learning the language for 10+ years.

The resort is awesome and the staff is very attentive. Guests are really taken care of and the place is very well maintained. The only issue for all the area of Kep is the “beautification” project that is going on at the moment which is basically covering all the beach front for hundreds of meters with soil so all the resorts now have no beach or access to the sea, only a sad land of brown soil

Came here for our anniversary. Beautiful large pool was the highlight. We arrived as the only guests here so the restaurant was closed for lunch and dinner and there was no buffet breakfast as booked. Limited menu at the pool bar was all that was offered. That became an issue when a tremendous thunderstorm broke out at dinner time. So they opened the restaurant just for us. HORRIBLE food. How could any food be fresh if no one eats here? The prawns tasted very old. For breakfast they have a 16 year old girl doing the cooking who does not understand English. Well done eggs is the most that she can handle. The front desk staff doesn't speak much English either. Good luck there. As one review stated ”poor hotel management” But, they don't care. The Staff simply does not care. The room was beautiful but filthy when you looked under the bed and under the couch cushions. The dead lizard was left in the tub for days until we removed it. Worst of all on Saturday and Sunday, the ”special guests” arrive. Three or four carloads of families. They are not staying there. They just bring in a bunch of local families to use the pool for the day. Babies without swim diapers using the adult pool. Unsanitary. These ”special guests” make a mess, ruin the private atmosphere and then leave. Then another 4 carloads arrive the next day. Again, they are not even staying at the resort. Again, the management could care less about the paying guests. The gym and the spa smelled like an an old moldy gym locker. No one ever used it. Spa? What Spa? Whatever you do, enjoy the pool when the special guests are not there, and please go eat at the crab market.

Five star service, four star comfort at three star prices - you really can’t go wrong. Located barely a five minute walk up from the crab market and on a quiet hillside road, you really any do much better location-wise either. Marie is a fabulous host; the chalets are comfortable and the F&B offering is superb, most especially breakfast which is taken upstairs with a sea-view. A great boutique resort and one of Kep’s best - regardless of your budget.

This place is divine. Very small (I think only 8 rooms) and no it’s not on the waterside (but that’s a good thing). This place is about a 15 min walk to the crab market, 10 min to the national park, 10 min walk to sailing club … note there is no “town” as such so don’t look for being “in town”. For westerners there is no 711 or shopping street. It’s just one big food stalls and hammocks. But Tara lodge is unique. Beautiful pool, huge rooms, amazing restaurant and the staff (Jim especially) cannot do enough for you. We were here for 2 nights and we were the only guests (Cambodian election). We are in our 60’s from Australia and we walked 8km or more around Kep national park. There is a “convenience” store at end of the street which sells everything but the wine and beer at the hotel was great. Food was divine. The chocolate fondue… don’t share! 😀

We stayed in a Khmer type bungalow, it was more of a camping type. No furniture to even put our bags on, a bed, a shelf, a fan and a mosquito net that's all you'll get for $20 in cash 😏. No sanitary facilities in the bungalow and what's more, the common sanitary facilities were dirty, we had to clean them to be able to use them. If you rent a scooter it's $7 instead of $5 elsewhere. The place is not maintained, burnt out bulbs in the paths not replaced, a shame because the park and the swimming pool are all the charm of this place. For this same price you will obtain, next door, a top comfort bungalow with beautiful bathroom, air conditioning, hammock on the bungalow terrace and magnificent swimming pool with sea view and $5 per scooter.

I went to the White Horse several times and finally lived in this house. I really didn't feel disappointed. Go out to see the sea, the room can also see the sea, go out and turn right next to the canteen for 2 minutes, and the cake shop can have breakfast.

As an Expat- I visited over Pchum Ben. It was lovely. If you need a place to stay in Kep, check out this place. Amazing staff, great location, peaceful and wonderful food! I would stay again if I ever find myself in Kep! Great work! Only downside- limited food options from in resort dinning- but this is due to covid.

A large hotel with not much around it. The staff were helpful and friendly and the Manager spoke good English. The swimming is large, clean and we give it 10/10! The room was spacious and clean. The only downside really was the fact that it was very quiet with only 5 rooms out of a possible 80 were booked during our overnight stay. We only used the hotel for one night as crossing over into Vietnam the following day. As other reviews have said the restaurant does have a canteen feel, unfortunately we were the only ones in it, it the food we had was ok. We feel a bar/lounge would be a welcome and warm addition, although you could order from the restaurant but it lacked in atmosphere. We would stay again if we needed a hotel when passing through Cambodia and Vietnam.
