Kakrona Pouk Homestay

The room was just gigantic.

A little bit far from main sights.

Meta was a really great host! We got invited to eat with his friends and watch the sunset on the beautiful rice fields. Meta knows a lot about the surroundings and he will help you if you want to do a trip. He also brought us to and from Siem Reap with his tuktuk.

Firstly if you’re looking for luxury, this isn’t where you’re trying to be. This place is in the outskirts of Siem Reap in a village setting. I tell you, here you will find the most authentic Cambodian life experience. The host immersed me into different experiences from sharing canned beers with his neighbors, we had Karaoke night which was just mind blowing. I even got invited to a local celebration of the ancestors where I met very welcoming and warm people. I could never ever forget the love I was welcomed with here. Meta is just a super host, period. He knows how to engage his guests and give you the ultimate out of city experience. I stayed 3 nights and almost did a 4th though I had to leave. The room charges were extremely affordable however the hut I stayed in offered a ceiling fan and the heat didn’t have any mercy on me. Some bugs at night but room comes with a mosquito net and Meta gave me some repellent to burn to chase the bugs away. As a solo female traveler I also did feel safe and I felt like the dogs at the home were literally protecting me, sleeping outside my door at night and walking away once it was morning. I just enjoyed and loved loved my experience here. If you’re not about comfort of stay and about good vibes and people around you, I highly recommend this home stay!

The host family for this Homestay really make it! They are helpful, kind and accommodate whatever you need for a great value. If you stay here you know you will be taken care of and you are supporting a local family! Definitely go for it if you are looking for a quiet place to stay with lots of local charm!

I liked the rustic, jungle accommodations. Not is the noise of the city but not to far to go in for a nice meal. Easy to visit the temples for a day trip.

Perfect for some peace and quiet amongst some lovely trees and natural sculptures. I stayed 5 nights, and I'd go again. Highly recommend. Meta is a wonderful host. X

Very great host. He'll help you with anything. We saw a silk farm, animals, and experienced authentic cambodia living.

Mosquitoes, but the provide Mosquitoe nets.

The bungalow was so cute and had everything we needed, the location is outside of the chaotic centre which was really nice, it felt like we were in the jungle while still not too far from everything. We rented a motorbike from the homestay which was perfect because the roads felt really safe to drive on. The owner really made us feel like home, he invited us to drink with his friends, he made us taste the local food and even invited us to a wedding of his cousin!! Can't recommend this place enough, it was definitely a highlight of our trip in Cambodia! Btw there's lots of sweet doggies, mango's everywhere that you can eat and even a parrot

Staying with Mister Meta and his family was an unforgettable experience — this is not just accommodation, it's a true immersion into the heart of local Cambodia. You can't get more local than this — you're welcomed into the family as if you've known them for years. Mister Meta's wife was incredibly kind and helped us repair our clothes without hesitation. We even ended up buying beautifully hand-made, custom-fit trousers from her — crafted with care and skill. What made it even more meaningful is knowing that every dollar goes directly to support the family. Mister Meta has an impressive knowledge of the area and went above and beyond to help us plan our days, offering thoughtful suggestions and even assisting with booking tickets. Nothing is too much to ask — he’s always ready to help with a smile. We were invited to join family outings, shared freshly cooked meals every day (seriously fresh and delicious!), and felt safe, respected, and truly at home. The prices are more than fair — especially considering the warmth, attention, and authenticity you receive in return. Thanks to them, we didn’t just visit Cambodia — we lived it.
