“Such thoughtful and beautiful accommodation”
So welcoming and helpful. Beautiful setting and lovely bar & restaurant. Possible to walk to crab market. Close to Kep National Park with a great 8km walk through it. Love that the business is a social enterprise training Cambodians to speak English and gain hospitality skills. Also has sewing and woodworking enterprises.

The place is beautiful, staff is very kind, and the restaurant onsite is good and very handy. The location is also good although it might be handy to have a motorbike or so as Kep is quite spread out.

What a beautiful little complex. The family behind and there story is something definitely to get behind and promote. We were upgraded into a little bungalow and the kindness of the staff shone through.They run a restaurant onside and another in Kep,where the food and service was good.

“A real treat”
Set in a beautiful maintained garden this place is a real treat. I had an upstairs room and really enjoyed the breeze in my hammock. The people are great, you can hire a motorbike for 6 $ and the communal area and the concept of Khmer Hands is wonderful. If you want to rest or recover this is the perfect spot.

“Beautiful calm oasis in the green”
Beautiful setup and an oasis of calm. It’s a little out of town but easy to walk or just take a tuk tuk. Lovely staff and it was great speaking with the owner. The restaurant and bar are lovely with great food.

“Great property!”
The employees at the property are exceptionally friendly, the same lady served us pretty much every day and no queiry went unanswered, she was also able to set us up with a motorbike and was always on hand to provide suggestions of activities around the area. The room that we had was very clean and came equipped with a hot shower and a kettle; when we booked on for an extra 2 nights in another room, we realised that it had partially open roof and decided that it wasn’t for us and were able to switch back immediately with no trouble. The restaurant/ bar is open from 7-9 and serves excellent breakfast and dinner options- especially the amok! From the main area/ beach stretch, we were able to get a Tuktuk to the hotel for $1.50, id recommend getting your drivers WhatsApp as there is no grab and there aren’t really any drivers waiting around near the hotel- but it’s only a 30 minute walk back into the main area. You are also able to get a Tuktuk to kampot for $10-$12, + a small fee if your hotel is away from the main area. Alternatively, it’s very easy to get a bus down from the beach. The property is very beautiful and surrounded by nature, so expect to see some lizards, frogs and birds- particularly if you stay in an open roof room. They also have a laundry service for $1/ kg.

“Peaceful place, where your stay supports a good cause”
The place is so peaceful! The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are exactly as depicted. We has the wooden top floor of a bungalow with balcony our own hammock. During the day the house got a bit warm, but the fan and the windows were enough to cool it down for the night. The place serves breakfast or you can visit their cafe in the city, by the sea close to the Crab Market. Plus in their shops you can support the students of arts and design schools. Really nice place where owners are doing a good work for others and by staying there you can support the good cause too. Plus, over here we rented the best scooter for the newest price here so far when travelling through Cambodia. And there are the best massages in a training center just in the street below Khmer Hands, highly recommended!

“Very peaceful place, helpful staff and perfect location”
It is the perfect place to rest - very peaceful and quiet. We lived in a big wooden bungalow with a balcony, and it was a very joyful experience. We enjoyed every moment here. The staff is very helpful. For instance, one day, we had a problem with an electrical socket: we were immediately offered to move to another house or wait for repairs. The house was cleaned every day. The food in the cafe was delicious and worth the money. We highly recommend this place if you want to relax and enjoy nature! We will be happy to come here again)
