Ankounamatata is offering accommodations in Koh Rong Island. At the hostel, the rooms are equipped with a closet.

Amazing view, amazing dorm - everything is so beautiful, clean and simply amazing. The owner and his staff are great. It is in a very calm part of the island, perfect to explore the island’s beaches by motorbike and have a very chill and relaxing time. Ppl in the village are great and there a good dinner options.

Located in Koh Rong Island, Rafikis Retreat offers beachfront accommodations a few steps from Coconut Beach and has facilities like a fitness center, a private beach area and a bar.

10/10 would definitely recommend staying at rafikis at coconut beach! Such a stunning place and views from the bungalow are gorgeous and you can also see the sunrise from this side of the island. Gym facilities and sauna are great! The owners and staff looked after us so well and cooked yummy food, made great drinks and all round good vibes. Protein oats were a fave!

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

Beachfront property along a beautiful, quiet section of long beach! 15 minute walk along the beach from long set pier. There wasn’t any form of lock on the room, which was a bit strange, but I guess the island is safe. There are curtains for the bunk and locker storage available underneath the beds. Washrooms didn’t have toilet paper or adequate soap - be prepared for that! There are also no towels available for rental.

Located in Koh Rong Island and with Palm Beach reachable within a 12-minute walk, Salacia Palmbeach Hostel provides a garden, non-smoking rooms, free WiFi throughout the property and a bar.

We loved the common area and the beach front bar and places to lounge, it really is gorgeous. We loved the hammocks in the water, that was a big highlight for us. The food was also delicious but pricey for the island. Appreciated the mosquito nets. Loved the $2 cocktail happy hour!

Located in Koh Rong Island, a 3-minute walk from Long Set Beach, Fat Monkey has accommodations with a shared lounge, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar.

Nice place to stay nearby the best places in Koh Rong. Close to the beautiful beach, party hostels, the town, the port - everything within walking distance. The beds were comfy and private, AC working during the night and morning. Be prepared for bugs outside at the bathroom sinks. One of the best budget options to stay in Koh Rong in my opinion.

    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.
