The Cliff Hostel, M'Pay Bay

There's a very beautiful terrace where you can see the sunset, also a nice snorkeling spot just downhill. If you're ready to embrace in a rustic and simple island lifestyle this place is for you!

Very quiet and serene hostel in M'pai bay at Koh Rong Sanloem. 10 minute-walk from the pier, but definitely worth it as there is no noise at night or in the morning, which can be problematic further down in the village. We stayed in a room, quite simple, but clean and allright. Doors could have been better, there were large cracks where mosquitoes could enter, and there was no mosquito net. The dorms have mosquito net, but they're completely open, no doors. Not really a problem in calm and quiet M'pai. Lockers for valuables in the dorm. The hostel has a fantastic common terrace with good mattresses ,the coolest swings and sitting areas, you'll see one of the world's most beautiful sunsets from here. Other people from other hostels actually go here to watch the sunset 😁 Good mojito's, food and drinks are a little bit more pricy than elsewhere in the village, but the view and the terrace makes them worth it. You could also go 100m down the street to the cheapest restaurant in town. Owner of the hostel seems kinda un-interested, but couldn't really complain about him either. Very cute cats. Possible to rent snorkelling equipment at the hostel, some of the best spots for snorkelling in M'pai (which aren't really THAT impressive), are right below the hostel.

We stayed two nights here in one of the private rooms. The whole island was very quiet, and I think there was only one other couple in the hostel. However, we had a fantastic experience. The owners were very friendly and accommodating, always there to answer any questions and even suggesting things to do. The hostel is at the end of track and they help to transport bags etc. The price for the room is very good. You might want to arrange a bike or taxi up to the hostel when you arrive, depending on how much luggage you have. The hostel has an amazing view for sunset — usually a large group from a day trip turns up at around 5pm, so be there slightly before to grab your spot. The beers are well priced and the food is tasty. The private room didn't have a proper window (either complete wooden shutters or completely open) but there was a great balcony outside and a door that could be kept open during the day. The wifi connection was brilliant and I was able to do work/Zoom calls from the room or the main area with no problems. Possibly some of the best wifi I've had across SE Asia. Overall, would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the island.
