A really fantastic stay for us on the beautiful island of Samloem. A little walk away from the main street but nice to be out of the main section. Simon and his lovely little family made us feel so welcome at their home. We had access to drinking water in their kitchen. They have 2 beautiful cats and chickens that gives a really nice feel to the place. I took 2 books from their collection which was very helpful. No air con on the island but the room had a big ceiling fan which did the job. We really reccomend this place as it ticks all the boxes.

“Nice and quiet guesthouse”
I chose this guesthouse because it was a little outside the Main Street where you can have some musics. So it was nice Very simple room, but everything was great.

Sre Long was a friendly and welcoming host! The rooms are basic but have everything you need - they are done so they feel homely, even if it is basic. We loved the garden and having some outdoor space, including the animals - cats and chickens in particular. The bed was very comfortable. We did not find any issue with not having A/C, as the fan was powerful. No issues with any insects or mosquitos either. It is also in a nice location, a quiet street but we could walk to everything as M’Pai Bay is a very small place. Overall, a fantastic experience - thank you!

Everything has been perfect! Simon is a great host, very thoughtful and available for any doubt. The guesthouse is in a very quiet and peaceful place. The rooms are cl3an, well equipped and spacious. There's a water boiler in every room and the instant coffee/tea and drinking water are always available for free. There's a garden well maintained with hammocks to chill and the company of a few cats and chickens. The island is a paradise itself but staying at baloo makes it even more enjoyable.

“Very comfortable!”
Comfortable, clean accomodation and the owners Simon and Srey Long are super lovely and accomodating. The garden is beautiful, very nice to chill out there on the hammocks with the cute cats. A bit out of town (5 min walk) which is nice for a bit of peace and quiet ☺️ Highly recommend!

“Tranquil place”
Mon and his family were really welcoming! The room had a big mosquito net and large fan which we were grateful for in the heat. There’s chairs out front and a lovely garden for you to enjoy a cup of coffee. Free coffee/tea, water refills and a hand drawn map of the islands were nice touches that made our stay even better! We liked the cats too!
