“pure paradise!”

we loved blondies, it was the escape from hustle and bustle and constant travelling activities that we needed. The location is beautiful in my opinion, not on the busy area of the island but in a more chilled out remote area- still has an array of restaurants and convience stores for your needs, and Sok San beach was lovely for swimming. Johnny was kind and helpful, even shouting us a beer when we arrived. The room we had was great, the bed was large and comfortable, two fans that worked well, a clean bathroom with hot water, and a balcony to sit out front. Being here felt like going back in time to the early 2000's in the absolute best way, It was nice to have a detox off our phones and be without reception and wifi and soak up the sun, swim, read and relax.

“Great host and location. Soc san beats koh touch hands down.”

Johnny was a great host and left me to it but was always available when needed. Location (particularly in the hammock area)...My favourite place in the world...bliss! Great to have refrigerator and water urn in room. Balcony was lovely to sit out.as was hammock area

“Lovely relaxing stay”

Lovely beach hut villa. Hot shower and towels provided. Free tea and coffee available. Snorkelling equipment free for guests. Short 5min walk to Sok San beach. Host Johnny was very attentive and sorted anything we needed- booking tuktuks, free beer on arrival, always contactable on WhatsApp etc

“Fantastic place to relax and enjoy great views”

We loved the location of this rustic bungalow a short walk away from the village because it was more peaceful and had stunning views of the sea through the lush greenery. It’s much cheaper and in our opinion nicer than the frontline beach accommodation in Sok San. The platform areas with hammocks are great for yoga and relaxing with some shade and the best of the views. Lots of colourful fish and coral (access a little tricky but worth it). Enjoyed the chilled vibe and food at CocoLocco and many other eating and drinking options nearby. Johnny met us off the boat and looked after us well providing snorkelling gear, yoga mats, books and information, thank you.

“Lovely place on a lovely island with a lovely host”

Johnny was amazing. He’s the highlight of this property. He was waiting for us at the dock, brought us to the cabin, gave a summary of the island, helped us with a boat tour and last but not least, a free beer. He gave us some great repellent, local fruits and was just very nice in general. Besides that the cabin was great too. warm water, no bugs inside, everything clean, overall just great!

“Peaceful Stay with Handy Extras”

Good price and great location in a peaceful area. The bungalow was comfortable and came with handy extras like a snorkeling mask and water shoes. Cheap beer was available, making it a relaxed and enjoyable stay.

John was very kind and he also arrange a beautiful boat trip for us!

“Idyllic, relaxing bungalows within easy walk of beaches and restaurants”

Absolutely beautiful relaxing bungalows, well equipped (fridge, kettle with tea, coffee, sugar, milk, unlimited drinking water) and beautifully presented. John is a very friendly guy, but is also very helpful and communicative. It is s simple 5/10 minute walk to half a dozen restaurants and a 15/20 minute walk to a stunning beach! I didn't manage it during my stay (weather was not conducive) but there is also snorkeling direct from Blondies, and John provides masks and snorkels free of charge.

The room was lovely and John was super helpful at showing me what to do around the beach.

“Freedivers paradise, quiet, peaceful... but village is just a 5min walk away for other activities!”

I'm not the typical tourist, I focus 99% on freediving. From that perspective I am at the near perfect place. Owner and operator is himself a diving enthusiast so he had a ton of valuable tips and hints. The bungalow while lacking AC was fine due to being partially shaded. Bungalow is very well equipped: had 2 powerful fans so heat was never a bothersome issue. A positive surprise was ability for warm shower... if you (for some weird reason) would want a warm shower. Refrigerator in room, a huge water bottle in room! Kettle for tea/coffee. Just outside bungalow there is a short path leading straight to the start of the coral reef! That is amazing, no immediate need to splurge money of snorkeling tours unless you want a change of scenery. Snorkeling (and I think scuba) tours was possible, pending how many signs up. (Just talk to others and try to agree upon a suitable date). The reef access through the path is a bit difficult if you are clumsy or are not of good physique. It is a bit steep slope to walk for starters. Once you enter water you have to wade/walk on sharp rocks and other uneven surfaces. This can be challenging normally and up to quite difficult if the tide is really low. For people who like it easy but wanting to snorkel the reef, no worries, a short walk towards village there are a much easier water front access but you'll have to swim 100m or so to get to the starting point. Because Blondies bungalows are "outside" of village it is very peaceful there, good place for mindfulness, yoga and relaxation. Same with manager, Johnny, very chill guy that takes good care of you as a guest. Village is perfect for me, shops, candy, fresh fruits, smoothies, juices. Very good eating Khmer and "western" foods, a perfectly sleepy village that is easy to love. At the evening/night you can find some thumping music, flashing lights if you want that.

“Incredible, best place to stay in Koh Rong. Johnny is fantastic himself. Go ahead and book this place whilst you can!”

The most amazing place you could stay in Koh Rong. Everyone in the adjoining village is lovely, Johnny himself was the kindest host we’ve had the pleasure of meeting too. Great little retro “shack” in the jungle, amazing viewpoint from the balcony. Seriously, just stay here yourself, I can’t even put it into words how good it is here!

A Hidden Gem by the Sea This charming guest house offers a peaceful retreat with easy access to stunning natural attractions. You can walk down to the cliffside for a snorkeling experience among vibrant corals and colorful fish or take a short, scenic hike to a breathtaking sunset point and a serene waterfall. The nearby village adds a touch of local culture, and the pristine white sandy beach with crystal-clear water is perfect for a leisurely stroll. Run by the warm and welcoming Mr. Blondies, this small business exudes a personal touch that makes you feel right at home. The apartment is well-equipped with a fridge and food container, combining rustic charm with modern comforts. If you're seeking tranquility with a splash of adventure, this guest house is a perfect choice.

“Great host, very friendly, close to restaurants”

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

“Marvellous stay at the beach”

Nature, serendipity and amacas!

“Johnny is really the perfect host”

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

“Cute bungalow with everything you need for an authentic island stay”

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.

“If you value real relaxation and service, you need to check out this place!”

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!

i could not find a better place!!!

“Absolutely worth it! Would have loved to extend but didn’t have enough time.”

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!
