“The most welcoming hosts!”
We had the most amazing time at Aaron’s guest house. The rooms were great and very clean, the outside area was also lovely and it was really nice to sit out there and relax. Aaron and Dylan were the most amazing hosts and gave us so many wonderful recommendations. Their breakfast was also amazing with homemade bread 😋. I cannot recommend staying at their guesthouse enough!!!

“Homely, genuine, cozy”
The place has all the amenities that anyone would need during a stay in M’Pai Bay. Aaron genuinely wants you to have a good stay - and that is something that shines through with every interaction that I’ve had with him. And that is not only not only in regard to the guesthouse, but to the village at large. I have no regrets having stayed here so please allow yourself to do the same!

“Thank you, Aaron, thanks to you, we felt like we were at an amazing summer camp!”
A wonderfully kind and very hospitable owner. Extremely helpful and always happy to share tips about the island. The house is perfectly located, just a 5-minute walk from the beach, with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. The room was clean, furnishings were simple but had everything you need for an island stay. During our visit, the room was cleaned, as the owner mentioned that there is a lot of sand on the island and it doesn’t necessarily need to end up in the room 😉. We ended up extending our stay by an extra day.

“Fantastic place, great location and host”
Fantastic stay, cannot recommend it enough. Aaron is a fabulous host along with his beautiful dog Kiki. Room was comfortable and clean with a dressing table and shelves next to the bed which I used for toiletries. Wall fan and stand alone fan. I used the wall fan at night only when sleeping. Bathroom was clean with cold shower, basin, and toilet. There's a communal lounge area, free filtered water (a bonus to save on plastic bottles). Aaron will help with any questions you have. M'Pai is a wonderful village with expats and Khmer families, so many places to eat and drink. Long Beach is a 10 min walk away. If you see any trash on the beach please pick it up and take it to the trash point which is half way up the beach. Every bit counts and you're helping the community and beach cleaners too. 5 nights wasn't enough. Would definitely stay again.

Aaron, the guesthouse owner is genuinely a great guy. He really cares about his guests experiences & made us feel at home right away. The guesthouse is clean, cozy & quiet at night. Kiki the dog is also a sweetheart. Heaps of great food around as it’s situated right in the heart of M’pai. M’pai is a great place to stay - huuuuge close knit community vibes between the khmer people & expats, it’s really special and lovely to see/experience. This island needs people now, more than ever to visit and we felt safe the whole time. Highly recommend this guesthouse as well as a visit to this island.

“Welcoming, homely and comfortable stay - looking forward to the next time I can visit!”
Aaron, the new owner, is super helpful and welcoming. The location is excellent just a stone’s throw from the beach but far enough to not hear the late night parties in the bars there. Good value for money, clean and basic rooms but all you need especially as you have shared access to the outdoor/indoor living area and bar (with a super cute and friendly dog too!)

“Relaxed stay in a cozy guesthouse”
Lovely guesthouse in a great location near all the restaurants and beaches in M’Pai bay. Sam was so nice and welcoming. All her pets were so relaxed and friendly, one of her dogs even sings which was so funny to see! The living room area feels very homely. A great place to say if you want to relax for a few days

Sam’s place was such a little haven in M’Pai Bay with everything you need and more, even snorkels and games, books etc. The location is so ideal and the room has everything you need for comfort. She was such a great host and made our stay in Koh Rong Samloem so special I can’t wait to return one day (and hopefully see Sam again)!!

“A great little quieter spot”
A lovely quiet guesthouse, with great rooms all kitted out with nice touches in your room and things like snorkels, a beach mat, mozzie spray, and a yoga mat available for use. Sam really has thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. As a solo traveller Sam also looked after me with lots of advice on where to eat and visit on this small island. You have the company (if you choose) of a gorgeous dog and 2 beautiful cats who just sleep all day in the communal area. There are great choices of places to eat and drink within short walks and spending the Khmer New Year here was a treat.
