Bunyong Homestay

it was clean and the house is in a quiet area in this loud and busy city. from here, it's closer to angkor then from many other hostels. the family is soooo sweet, warm and nice. and they try to help you wherever they can. breakfast and dinner is included in the price and vegetarian options are available :) thank you so much for letting me be a part of this family for this short time.

We chose Bunyong homestay for an authentic Cambodian experience. Bun and his family were extremely welcoming as were his extended family. The beds were a little hard but we expected that - this is not a hotel but a family homestay. The rooms were air conditioned which was great as the humidity is very high. If you want an authentic Cambodian experience you could not do any better. Ask for a cooking class - we made a brilliant curry. Not only was it really good, it was fun making it.

Nothing. It is a little bit out of town but there were always tuk tuks on hand - not an issue at all

The place seemed like a very social, warm place to get together and meet other guests and interact with children. The common space where people dine seems lovely even though I didn’t dine when I stayed. Bun was very warm and friendly. Everything was functional in the room and bathroom and the soundproofing was great as I didn’t hear much inside the room when I shut the door. The blanket/comforter was very comfortable and the shower was hot. There was free filtered water available outside your room.

The bed was super hard and this is coming from a person who hates soft beds and prefers firmer mattresses. Probably no issue if you sleep on your back but I did feel sore a bit during the night from the hardness as a side sleeper. Overall, no big deal since I slept very well. There was a smell coming from the bathroom, maybe the pipes? And some small areas are not fully clean, like areas around the light switches and what not. Just FYI if you’re someone who really values complete cleanliness, or someone who tends to stay at hotels instead of home stays or guesthouses. Just be prepared not to expect perfection but to be laidback!

If you want a local experience with a family that treats you like family members, go to Bun and his family. Breakfasts and dinners are great. Bun takes care of everything, he is also an incredible tour guide and we had two fantastic days at Angkor Temples with him. You don’t need to plan anything in advance, you just come there and Bun plans everything with you. The place is a bit far from the city center but it’s very peaceful and quiet and Bun has two drivers who drive you everywhere for a good price (10 min to the city center). Can highly recommend to stay there!

Meeting and eating with this gracious family was a highlight of my trip so far. The food was delicious and made with love. Having Mr Champion, the tuk-tuk driver on hand made the travel arrangements easy. Excellent value for money.

Bed and pillow was quite hard, but it didn’t stop me from sleeping in this very quiet setting.

We had an amazing time at Mr Bun’s homestay. We arrived extremely early in the morning - with the night bus - and we were picked up from the bus station for 3 dollars extra. We could check in early at 8 am and were served homemade pancakes and mango from the garden. Mr Bun drove us around the temples and helped with everything we needed. We spent the evening at the place with family friends and we were recommended a certified guide to show the Angkor temples the following days. We spent the evening with the local people eating amazing food and in great company. Mr Bun and his friends (professional tuk tuk drivers) drove us to the airport. We really felt welcome and treated as family. It was a truly beautiful experience and I recommend it to everyone who stops in Seam Reap.

The property is a bit far from the city centre but Mr Bun can organise the transfer for you.

Location perfect for what I required.and staff very helpful and respectful

I stayed with Bun and his family for an entire month whilst I was volunteering in Siem Reap, and I could not have made a better decision. I truly felt like one of the family. Bunyong Homestay is a perfect combination of simple comforts whilst experiencing local life, a quiet and peaceful accommodation that still allows you to meet other travelers almost every night at family dinner. The room was big, clean and comfortable and the food delicious and fresh. Bun will also help you organise tours and activities throughout Siem Reap. Cannot recommend enough, thank you Bun, Michelle and family.

Everything was amazing :)

only one outlet in room and when I tried to plug anything in it would fall out.Had to use the outlet in the coffee/tea "lobby" to charge phone, computer etc.
