The Bygone

Our experience at the Bygone was outstanding! The property is gorgeous with an inviting pool, and our room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The owners and staff were amazing and arranged everything for us to do exactly what we wanted during our stay. their tuktuk driver Sopiah was delightful and took us to all the temples at the best times of day to avoid crowds and heat. They also arranged our boat trip to the floating village which we also recommend. The food and beverages at the restaurant were really delicious and they readily accommodated my food restrictions, I think the most expensive items on the menu were only $4! From the moment we arrived with an airport pickup to our departure 3 days later all our needs were met with incredible care and consideration. We really cherish our experience at the Bygone.

Excellent, welcoming, informative and helpful Australian owners and lovely staff. Great breakfast and other delicious, fairly priced meals available throughout the day. Good sized pool and I appreciated the balcony outside my room and pretty dining area. Located on a quiet residential street near the river a bit north of the main areas, a few minutes ride from Virak Buntham bus station. Easy walk to the riverside or to arrange a Passap tuktuk to get around, or rent a moto arranged by the owners delivered/picked up from the house. Room was nicely decorated with good storage, lighting and blackout curtains. Feels like staying in a friend's house rather than an impersonal hotel. The owners are involved with social projects and I liked meeting some of the volunteers who stay there. Handicrafts and board games available in the homely reception/chatting area.

I could have done with a desk in the room (there are bedside tables) and a handheld shower hose (there is a 'rain' fitting) but these are small things compared to the pleasure of staying here. I will definitely return when in Siem Reap.

The owners and staff were incredibly nice and very helpful. We arrived in the morning but still got served an extra breakfast for free and could also get into our room long before actual check in time. The breakfast was very good (a la carte). You can also eat here if you wish. The rooms are furnished lovingly and everything is very clean and in good condition. Lovely pool area where you can relax. You are always given a bottle of water if you're in the pool or restaurant area. Good wifi.

There's absolutely nothing negative to say about our stay

Great place! Originally booked three nights but ended up staying for five. Garry and Wendy are awesome: they’re super helpful and instantly make you feel at home. Their staff are also really nice and helpful. Rooms are clean, spacious, comfortable and well decorated. The food is yummy and the dining area has a great atmosphere. Location is nice too — located down a quiet street just a quick scooter ride away from central Siem Reap and Angkor Wat. Highly recommend staying here and I certainly will again next time in Siem Reap.

None, stay was great.

Quaint boutique hotel with terrific hosts. Gary was most helpful before and during our stay. Food was prepared fresh and was tasty. Great value for money. Wish we had stayed longer.

Everything about the stay was fantastic

Wish we could have stayed longer

I’ve stayed in a lot of hotels in Siem Reap, and it is hard to find a good breakfast that our western and Khmer team all enjoyed. The Bygone is the place! The brekkie board was a firm favourite by 2 of our team. We also ate lunch and dinner there - all meals were fresh and delicious. The menu was highly rated by our team. The location was a quiet residential area, ideal for travellers for work. The owners and staff were all really kind and friendly. Both Khmer and English spoken well. Mozzies deterred well in rooms and outdoor eating area.

informing us at check-in about the option to pre-order breakfast would have been helpful. We did it for the second morning and it worked really well - food came within a few minutes of us sitting down (of ‘booked time’). Staff remembered our coffee orders which was a great touch too.

Staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful!

The beautiful boutique hotel is run by an Australian couple who have poured their hearts and souls into it, as well as into the social project supporting the local community, ‘HEARTPRINT.’ We had the privilege to visit and were absolutely amazed by the incredible work they have done and continue to do, supporting the people of Cambodia wisely by offering skills and education to improve their lives, including building houses. Thank you, dear Garry, Wendy, and all the amazing staff of the hotel for your kindness, help, welcoming, and for making our stay in Siem Reap so pleasant and unforgettable! The room is very spacious and beautifully decorated, maintaining a touch of history. The large bathroom includes both a bathtub and a shower. We received lovely compliments and surprises upon arrival, including welcoming drinks and refreshing towels, much appreciated. Garry and Wendy, having traveled the world themselves, know exactly what a traveler needs. The beautiful pool at ‘The Bygone’ is irresistible, even for those not big on swimming pools; it will undoubtedly seduce you. The hotel follows an eco-friendly approach with the motto ‘clean & green.’ They avoid plastic, provide free water refills, use local products like shampoo & shower gel, and source food for the restaurant from the local market. Staying at The Bygone allows you to be more than just a common guest; it enables you to participate in the ‘HEARTPRINT’ project. All profits from the restaurant and a portion of the hotel profits go directly to supporting wonderful people in disadvantaged Cambodian communities. The restaurant serves amazingly delicious food, prepared with love and beautifully served by trainees from the project. These young people are trained at The Bygone, performing all necessary jobs to prepare them for future work in the hotel and restaurant business. The girls are so kind and hearty. They and all the team definitely left a pint in our hearts!
