Soriyabori Villas Resort

One of the best ways to experience real rural Cambodian life in luxury settings. The resort has a restaurant, swimming pool, and separate villas that are traditional Cambodian rural wooden homes (but with proper bathrooms and amazing antique interior decorative items). The restaurant has excellent Western and Asian food. Breakfast was nice (no buffet though...). Getting there by ferry could be an issue, but we did take the private boat/tuk-tuk arranged by the resort, which was easy. Also, clear instructions were provided for safe car parking near the ferry pier. Early morning walk to Mekong shore - sand dunes, Bicycle ride, and horse cart ride highly recommended. (Besides Kampi Dolfins, of course) Special thanks to Bong Ly Sokheng, front office manager. He was extremely helpfull and attentive to detail. As well as all other team members - at the resort everything was excellent, communication by phone could be improved though....

So disappointed. Very expensive. This is not a luxury experience. Sounded good but terrible. Room though large, was dusty and dirty. Beds like rocks and brown, dirty pillows. My husband now needs a chiropractor! Mosquito nets were in holes and room was very dark even with all lights on. Ceiling fans did little to stir the air and no aircon. Stifling over night. Authentic insects with a large spider in the bathroom and cockroaches on the floor. Shower hand held over a high bath. Very inaccessible and slippery to get in. Pool was murky dirty and green when we arrived and loungers were wrapped in plastic, the next day the pool was white with chemicals and we did not risk going in. Part of the reception building roof was being replaced with noise and inconvenience. Breakfast was minimal and not up to standard. 1 crepe with tiny amount of honey, fruit -half a banana and 4 pieces of pineapple to share. Cup of tea. Dinner was tasty but expensive as were the drinks.. our guide has better aircon Accom home stay with a lovely lady next door for a fraction of the cost. Beware they will charge $5 pp for tuk tuk to ferry. Ferry is very rustic with long muddy ramp to access - you will need to carry your bags yourself. Note- (Sorya guest house in Kratie where the dolphin tours go from looked nice clean and aircon. Dolphin trip with Sorya Kayak amazing. Bikes round the island good fun. Locals lovely,

Charming resort. Great pool. The food was lovely. The room was large but had 3 problems. There was no stand up shower , no air con and it was very dark If they sorted that out it would be perfect as the bed was so comfortable. We found in the east of Cambodia the accommodation was an issue but this was the best we stayed in.
