The tent set up was better than others that we saw on the island. It was only a 10 mins walk to the beach. The food was tasty and cheap.

Located in Koh Rong Island, 60 metres from Long Set Beach, Cozy Beach Hostel provides air-conditioned rooms and a garden.

+ New facility + big mirrors inside the doorms + multiple place to store stuff in the shower - AC is soo freezing (and of course nobody wants to change that) my glasses where always foggy when I left the dorm (Never had that in the last months in SEA before). Got a cold from that.. - toilettpaper mostly runs out at 6pm and will not be replaced until the next morning - rooms where not that clean. I had in my bed bugs and ants. And as the showers are open you will be eaten by mosquitos while using the bathroom. - Don't book further transport with them: paid 23$ for 8h to Siem Reap in AC Bus and it took my 14h without AC. The hostel didnt offer any help when I conacted them about the issue - People hanging around (staff?) Often is high - No proper food available, you always have to walk 10min in the dark to get to most oft the other Restaurants - a lot of the beds are already squeaking

Nest Beach Club has a garden, private beach area, a terrace and restaurant in Koh Rong Island.

The Nest beach itself is the quietest on the island (if not for the bar behind it) and it’s in the middle of the 2 piers, give or take. The air con worked almost too well

Mad Monkey Koh Rong in Koh Rong Island provides adults-only accommodation with a restaurant and a bar. The accommodation features evening entertainment and a 24-hour front desk.

Great atmosphere and location. However, extremely expensive (the price increases when more people stay there), especially for the quality of the rooms. There was sand everywhere and gaps in the doors meant there were a lot of mosquitoes in the rooms. The beds didn’t feel very clean and unfortunately woke up with so many bites. The shared bathrooms were quite dirty and the orange water was quite off putting. However, the staff were great and created a really fun atmosphere during the evening events.

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This is the best hostel I've stayed at in Cambodia! The owners are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make you feel at home. The area is very peaceful, providing a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. And the food – it's simply the best I've tasted in Cambodia! Highly recommend staying here

    The best hostel to stay at on Koh Rong, especially if you are going to Nestival. The hostel had a great vibe, really good food and was very sociable. The rooms were cool and comfy and right on the beach. Very close to the pier for leaving the island too

    Spacious room. Mattress was comfortable. Great location, at the end of the “strip” of restaurants on Koh Toch. Staff were very nice. Slept quite good when the locals weren’t wailing on karaoke right outside!! Good if you want a budget stay on the island

    The pool area and the beach area are unreal! Some of the best and most picturesque views ever. Location great also as it’s next door to a Mad Monkey Hostel so easy to go get some cheaper food. Free breakfast so nice too

    Lovely staff and great location - almost right on the beach with lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Towels were provided and the guesthouse had a very homely feel to it which I appreciated. Free water and coffee was available at all times. Great price though and probably beats all the other hostels you have available on the island.

    This property is on the cheaper side for places on Koh Rong and we knew that it was going to be quite basic. The property is in a great location and the guy who runs it is very friendly and helped answer any questions we had. Having AC was a huge plus!

    I was there in the first week that they opened, and it was so nice! The ferry dropped us off at almost right next to the hostel. The best thing was the nice staff, they are a good mix of local and not local people. Especially a big thanks to Joe and Annemijn, to make the days a lot of fun. There were also a lot of activities during the day, that is a great way as a solo traveler to meet new people. If you are down to party, the people here are too, but if you wanna sleep early (like me the last night) the dorms a pretty good sound proof.
