Loved all, very reminiscent of old school backpacking bungalows tough to find in SEA now. Kind and helpful host Johnny, and rooms have loads of little bonus’ not often found in budget bungalows: fridge, kettle, abundant drinking water, hot water, clean fresh towels, shamp/cond/body wash, earplugs, power bar and lamp near bed, comfy chair and outside sitting area. Great location over cool bridge from main village (3 min max walk), quiet, with glimpse of local life. Unbelievable views! Planned to stay 2 nights and extended to 11!

The room was a little bit dark, but still 100% worth it given the location

Location is amazing, with an accessible coral reef right in front of the property. Johnny lend us the snorkels for free!

Cute bungalow, simple but with everything you need for an authentic island stay and very clean. Incredible view from the patio, I did yoga everyday. It felt like home, you have towels, beach towels, shower gel and shampoo, water heater for coffee and tea, free snorkeling masks. John and Mel are also very welcoming and they think about every detail. It was an amazing stay. Good value for money and I would definitely stay there again.

I liked everything. Quiet and calm place, house in the shade of trees. Gazebos with a view of the bay, from which you can meet the sunrise. You can take a mask and water shoes for free and swim near the house among the corals.

Everything is fine! We had little time to stay here longer :) We wish to come back here again!

Great location. Relax. Nature. Everything you need is nearby. John is a wonderful person. Attentive, efficient and always available. His service is top notch. If I could give him all the stars - I would! All information is true. Everything you want to know will be explained to you. These wonderful bungalows have everything, absolutely everything - from a refrigerator to a kettle for making evening tea. Hot water and all the necessary hygiene products. You can take interesting walks. You can swim - there is everything you need for snorkeling. There are many interesting books at the reception. There are authentic gazebos with sea views. The hustle and bustle of the village will remain far away from you. The shops and cafes are very close. You want pizza - there is a real Italian pizza nearby. Very close is a wonderful beach with relaxation on clean sand. The water is calm, there is no strong wind here (unlike other places on the island). If you need a scooter, you can rent one in the village. There are also many cafes there. We are so glad we had this positive experience visiting john. We recommend you do it! It is a great choice! John, we will miss your fabulous place!

The view from the pergolas is amazing! The beach is really close and absolutely a dream and there are so many things to do, beside relaxing and enjoying Paradies. Sok San Beach is a really calm and peaceful village with a few great restaurants. John was such a kind and helpful host. We loved our time at Blondies. The bungalow is in the middle of nature which means you will see and hear some animals. But everything looks just like in the pictures and the description. Great experience!

Amazing location and great host

John is a very helpful and attentive host. His advice and suggestions were excellent concerning places to eat, drink and visit. The location is picture perfect and the pagodas (exclusively for Blondies guests) overlooking the bay are to die for especially at sunrise which is not to be missed. There are some great options for dining merely a few minutes away such as a fab Italian restaurant and a traditional Khmer restaurant, both recommended by John. We highly recommend staying here for a unique and memorable experience on the nicest part of the island.

Bungalows with island atmosphere and stunning views from the pagodas (same as on the pictures, no surprises there). John, the host, is very friendly and helpful: he organised a nice boat trip for us, the laundry and made sure that the speed boat was there to pick us up. Great choice for a nice and quiet stay on Koh Rong!

The ferry doesn’t go direct there in the low season and the access out of Khao Touch is really bad. Plan ahead. Message Johnny.

it was so close to the village, with spectacular views and yet so quiet. The bungalow was really comfortable and clean and the pagoda at the waters edge, for both catching the sunrise, doing yoga, writing a journal at the table, reading in a hammock was just gorgeous. Nothing was too much trouble for Jonny. He was great with advice and providing me with everything I needed.

Might be a little bit out of the way for some.

The property has great deckings where it’s perfect to sit and watch the sunset. Ideal for those who are looking for a relaxing spot to relax and do plenty of reading!

Blondies an absolute top bloke answered all of our questions and is overall a really laid back guy. free coconut on arrival! Great room and amazing snorkeling spot right next to the bungalow spent two whole days just watching the coral reef, even seen an octopus! Would love to come back if we're ever in the area again. Best spot on the island.

A magical little place in a gorgeous location. The atmosphere is as relaxing as it gets and John is a great host. His friendly, laidback attitude perfectly fits with the vibe of the property and makes this an ideal place to just sit back and recharge your battery while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. This was one of our favourite stays in all of South East Asia!

Nothing

We had such a brilliant time staying at Blondies. Johnny our host was accommodating throughout, he met us at the harbour and helped with our bags, gave us lots of recommendations and then got us a coconut as a welcome gift! The room was great and spacious with everything we needed and more. There's coffee facilities and shampoo and conditioner. The view from the rooms and the property is brilliant and the hammocks to chill out on are so nice. There is also a reef at the bottom that you can snorkel in, all in all a brilliant stay.

Stayed in February 2024

Our stay in the bungalows was wonderful, John makes the experience even better, if what you are looking for is to get away and enjoy the amazing beaches of Cambodia without a doubt this is a great option. You can get there directly via the ferry or take a tuk tuk, we had no problem getting there, john welcomed us with a delicious coconut and made our experience the best in koh rong, breakfast was always delicious too. Thank you very much John, we will definitely come back here.

Mosquito net in room had a few holes so did get bitten in the night, bathroom had a lot of Mosquitos, think the property would benefit from air con would make it a lot more comfortable, there were a few power cuts but this couldn't be helped!

Johnnie met us at the pier, helped with bags and showed us to the bungalow, there are hammocks you can use which are comfy, Johnnie was a truly lovely guy cannot fault him and there is free snorkel equipment but we didn't use it

Stayed in April 2025

this place really was not for me and i definitely don't get the high rating. The cabins are dated and worn and so is the interior. there is no aircon (i knew that before) but the cabins are really stuffy during the night. one would think with all the holes and cracks there would be a comfortable breeze but this isn't the case. the mosquito net had several holes. had mice going through my luggage (wtf?). the drain from the sink empties just outside the cabin (toilet fortunately has plumbing). the property is adequately kept but the immediate surroundings from the neighbours are a different story. no wifi and the smart sim card did not work (apparently only cellcard does?) sok san village where the pier is is more of a slum than anything. would definitely not ever go back to this place. paid 38 usd for the night which was more than anywhere else in cambodia and the value was not even half what i would get in siem reap, kampot and phnom penh.

the owner John is a really nice bloke and the view from the pergolas is indeed great
