An oasis in the city
The room was great and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The air-conditioner was placed vertically next to the bed so one side was colder than the other, and it took about half an hour to bring down the temperature after returning to the room. The hotel is like an oasis in the middle of the city. It was a bit hard to get to though since signs weren't clearly marked (and the fact that tuk-tuk drivers weren't familiar with that area). However, on the plus side, the location is fairly quiet in contrast to the traffic on the main roads. But in the night, there were a couple of incidents with barking dogs in the small street outside the hotel. For half-day trips around the city, I'd recommend using the hotel's taxi service, and also for getting back to the airport. It's also a good idea to make agreements with tuk-tuk drivers for round trips for instance to the Aeon shopping mall. The hotel has a nice swimming pool that the other guests seemed to enjoy. There was a cute baby cat with orange fur which seemed to be taken care of by the staff. They spoke English well so communication wasn't an issue. The wi-fi was reliable and I don't remember any disruptions in the connection. However, one morning, the electricity was out for an hour or so. I don't know if that's normal, but it was probably not the fault of the hotel. There are several trees within the hotel's area which featured plenty of delightful bird songs and displays. Lastly, the bed was very comfy.

Service, style and sustainability
Plusses: - Excellent service - Peaceful place - Nice pool and pool area - Big rooms with nice decor - Ecological / sustainable vibe - Very strong wi-fi network - Great overall value Minuses: - Some distance from the sea (compansated by the nice pool) - Still some development going on after the previous owner More in-depth: This place has recently gotten a new European management and changed its name. What we understood, a lot of development has taken place recently and there's more on the way. The staff is extremely nice and the service is just as good. The breakfast was plentiful and we tried the dinner once. It happened to be seafood BBQ made by the staff and it was delicious. Compared to other hotels in the area we experienced, Villa Kep is a bit more stylish, everything works and as a plus for the sustainable traveler, they grow their own veggies, take good care of their waste and are on the way of being even more sustainable. PS. If you've been traveling a while and there's a growing need for some good wine (for a reasonable price), this is your place.

Great little oasis in Southern Phnom Penh
Stayed overnight following a business meeting. The staff were great as usual. Although they could not give me a late check-out, they allowed me to stay at the hotel until my flight and relax near the pool. Also gave me a free room upgrade! Thank you!

Great boutique Hotel in Phnom Penh
Hotel is off the main road so many tuk-tuks have a hard time finding it. However my driver from the airport knew right where it was. The beds are a bit harder than I am used to, but still nice. Pool is great! Food was delicious. I was there for a week and the operation manager allowed me to try out different rooms. Great staff. Will most likely stay at Samsara Villa again.

Relaxing room pool and helpful staff.
Modern designed room in new block on first floor. The pool area was relaxing and attractive. Staff replied promptly to emails and the arranged airport transfer was efficient. The tuk tuk service to town was 3$ and also used to the killing fields approx. $14. Food was good for breakfast and evening meal and all staff were helpful including booking good PSD Express coach to the coast. We would recommend.

Nice hotel, great staff
Fantastic room, fantastic service. There were a few things that were slightly not great but no deal breakers eg. listing said slippers came with the room. The pool was great for a cool down dip. The food in the hotel cafe was good but not great. They couldn't make lattes because the milk frother was broken the whole time of my stay. Other than that, very helpful and great staff. They seemed to be willing to go out of their way to help with any issues. The location isn't that exciting. There are a few places to eat around and a convenience store if you want to risk your life crossing the road. It's not so much a neighbourhood you want to hang out in as a quiet place to come back to after a day of sightseeing.

Small oasis hotel
The hotel is not central but that is its charm with its small scale, garden setting and pool. When the tuktuk arrives at the gate you leave behind the city and enter a small oasis. The room we had - my partner, our young son and I - was charmingly decorated and invisibly restored to order every day. Attentive, courteous and friendly staff looked after our needs well. We enjoyed our stay greatly.

A brilliant place to stop in Phnom Penh
The hotel is away from the centre but in a very peaceful location. It has a lovely pool with the communal area beside it. Our room was beautiful and we'll appointed with a balcony overlooking the pool. The staff were all friendly and arranged a good tour of the Royal Palace, S21 prison and the Killing Fields; also a well priced fast bus to Siem Reap. Breakfast was all we needed and the one evening meal we had was good.

Very nice hotel outside of centre in currently loud surroundings
The hotel is very nice with a small lush garden with swimming pool. The rooms are tastefully decorated. Breakfast was big and tasty. It was a little unfortunate that there were construction sites to the left and right of the hotel. From the late afternoon onwards, it was quiet. If you plan to spend a lot of time in the hotel to relax during the day, at this point in time, this may not be the best choice for you. It would have been nice if the hotel had addressed the noise issue and apologized for the disturbance. Hotel is not located in the centre, but a 15 min tuk tuk ride away (4 dollars one way).

Samsara Villa..a nice place
Nice small boutique style hotel in a quiet neighborhood some distance from the centre of town but not too much of a problem as a $3 tuk-tuk ride will get you there. Leafy compound with a nice swimming pool. Rooms pretty basic but comfortable enough with good shower and 32" flat screen TV. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Breakfast nice. Loved the preserves. If I had one gripe is that the waiting staff seemed inexperienced. Asked for milk for cereal one morning and it arrived in a long glass which would spill everywhere as I poured it. But generally a nice stay and I would return.
