    The cleanliness of this entire hostel was outstanding; every area, from the lobby to the room and swimming pool, was well maintained. The room were spotless and neatly arranged, providing me a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. It truly enhanced my stay, so thank you so much for making my solo travel more meaningful.

    I wish I had stayed her longer.

    I had the best time staying here. Not a fancy hostel but it has everything you need: cozy bed, the pool, good location in the middle of Siem Reap city center, cute little bar, and most of all, the staff. Very kind, accommodating, and willing to go beyond what's expected of them to give you the best time. They also arranged the sunrise and temples tour for me and other guests, which was one of my most memorable experiences in Siem Reap :')

    Not much in the way of hostel events - but this could be a pro for some. No lockers for luggage.

    Nice to have a pool to cool off in the evening on hot days. Beds were very comfortable and was really nice to have air con as well as a curtain for privacy. The food served here was great and well priced. Nice areas to chill out in and staff were very accommodating and helpful. Lots of tours and onward travel bookable through the hostel at a reasonable price. Very quiet when we were there.

    The showers and toilets are not seperate and there are not enough of them so quite often you are left needing to use the toilet while people are in the shower/toilet behind a locked door so you have to hang on 😬 Fixing this would be difficult, the bathroom part of the building was very badly designed. If the hostel survives then it would be worth building a new bathroom block and utilising the current bathrooms as more bedrooms. Watch out for the floor if it is wet. Super super slippery!

    The pool! The pool is great. Very clean. Lots of fun. The staff. All the staff were polite and friendly. Well done whoever chose them. The "living area" is pretty good. A table and seats and a couple of lounge suites (they could do with two more). The food. They sell meals, a little pricey but very convenient if the monsoon arrives and you are hungry!

    #coffeewithamonk They should have some more free and he group events like local cooking experience or group free umbrella tours offered by friendly staff to encourage them to learn English and teach locals about public speaking or international languages

    Very welcoming and peaceful common area nic a cool with inviting atmosphere. Good place for Clean beds swimming pool and local owned business. Not a party hostel but you can go next door and still enjoy the parties without losing sleep from the young crowds next door. Private and call close to pubstreet and night markets. Go to xbar for some entertainment

    I really enjoyed my stay at Gecko Hostel. The owners are such kind and friendly people who are always up for a chat :) They opened the hostel a couple of months ago, so everything is pretty new. I quite liked that they provide their guests with towels. You can also get food which I tried a few times and it was always delicious. Location is also ideal as it's close enough to the touristy area but there are also some bars and restaurants right around the corner. You can book tours and bus tickets at the reception and there's a cheap laundry place next door which returns your laundry in less than 24h.

    Staff were super nice and friendly, especially Rin who gave good advice of places to go. The hostel is near town centre so it is really easy to walk to pub street etc where the markets are. The facilities were clean and other travellers were nice. Pool is nice, good to swim in after a long day exploring. It was very affordable. Siem Reap is safe, as a young female solo traveller I actually felt safe walking around alone at night. You can also rent a bike to cycle around Angkor Wat , which gives you a lot of freedom. You can rent one through the hostel for $3/day. The city bike is useful because it has a basket in front. (If you go cycling you must wear suncream and bring LOTS of water tho). Takes about 45 mins to cycle to Angkor Wat (I'm kind of slow tho).

    Honestly, the best hostel I've ever been to. Believe me, I've been to many and I've never felt so good in one. The highlight goes to the staff, super friendly, kind and always eager to help you. The location is perfect, the beds are spacious, clean and comfortable. Clean and spacious bathroom to hang and support your things. A cozy lounge to hang out, a pool, cards... If you are hesitating to book this hostel, don't think twice, book here!

    This new locally-owned hostel was my favorite! From initially staying 3 nights, we extended our stay for a week. We are glad we chose to stay here, and we are grateful for the family meals and unforgettable memories. They made us feel like we were home. Keep in mind the hostel is still new and might not have everything set in place yet, but I would highly recommend staying here, as there is good functional air conditioning, comfortable and clean room, a pool, great location, and an amazing, friendly, helpful staff. Shout out to Win and Bunna ! Thank you for everything 🎊

    The staff is very helpfull and sympathetic.The rooms as well as the restrooms are always clean .The rooms are also regularly air contitioned.It's location is perfect as it is located near the city center as well as near all the bars and the atmosphere is very festive.It is also only 1,30 hours away from Angkor Wat on foot but there are plenty of tuktuk drivers to get you there .Also the staff can arrange the tuktuk and the shuttle bus that will get you straight to the airport so I really appreciated that.I will definitely stay here if I ever visit Siem Reap again!!

    Nothing I can think of

    This hostel was amazing, I planned to stay 2 nights and ended up staying 11, we had such an authentic experience (unlike some of the other hostels which are mainly just westerners partying) the staff were lovely, made it feel like a home, cooking & eating together local Cambodian cuisine, music, karaoke and so many laughs. The guys there took us out and we experienced places we wouldn’t have if we hadn’t of met the locals from our place. I even decided to stay for my birthday (stay in Cambodia instead of Thailand like I had planned) bless them they got me presents and a cake, literally how more like home could it feel? Definitely coming back to this place! So comfortable and clean, perfect location and set up🧡
