Fish Island Bungalows

The Fish Island Bungalows have the perfect location! It is a bit outside the city but therefore calm, with a nice garden and the city is easily reachable via TukTuk. The best is Mr. Leng and his wife! They are very nice and speak English very well. Mr. Leng organised a super nice tour for us for a very good price and prepared very nice breakfasts for us. We regret we didn’t book the ferry to Koh Rong with him, as he had a way better offer than what we found online! He also told us a lot about himself and the life in Cambodia. Very very nice stay, thanks to him.

Even the Deluxe Bungalows are veeery very basic. They are clean in general, but do not expect too much comfort! Same counts for the bathrooms, which also did not smell very nice. We would still come again, due to Mr. Leng! :)

That kind of hospitality can truly make a solo trip special. I found that Fish Island Bungalows prioritizes making guests feel comfortable and relaxed immediately, rather than focusing on formalities first. Because of my overall experience there in Kampot, I can confidently say it was a great one. The moment I stepped into the bungalow, the owner gave me a warm welcome, simply showing me to my room and suggesting places with good views. It seemed they focused on my comfort and hospitality rather than immediately verifying my name or payment. Mr. Leng and his wife were amazing hosts. Besides that, Mr. Leng also brings me and other guests to ride a moto to visit around the city and community in the evening, such as a saltern and Umnin Koh Smao Beach, and also tells us some about future infrastructure development. I feel like more than just an enjoyable trip, it's good to know how the locals make a living as well.

Great hospitality from Mr Leng and his wife. From the friendly greeting on arrival through to when we left, they always made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Good food is available provided you give advance notice that you want it as they buy the ingredients fresh from the market.

Not the quietest place, but similar to much of rural Cambodia where you are never far from chickens, frogs, dogs, and the occasional wedding party.

Mr. Leng made us feel right at home, made us a great breakfast, introducing us to his homemade jam which was amazing. He took us on a tour of Fish Island and saw bioluminescent plankton. Mr. Leng and his wife were extremely accommodating, always smiling, it was a pleasure to have stayed here.

Nothing!

So welcoming and kind as we weee traveling through briefly as a family from Koh rong . We were welcomed and felt safe

The location and accessibility to main area Kampot

I was a bit skeptical at the high reviews at first, but when I met Mr. Leng, I found out why this place is special. Our room was nice, but pretty basic for a Cambodian hotel. However, the special part isn't so much the rooms, but Mr. Leng. I think Mr. Leng might be one of the funnest people I've ever met. He was super warm and friendly to my wife and I, and offered his tours in the evening. If I can suggest anything, GO ON THE 5PM TOUR! $2 per person. We had no expectations of this tour, but Mr. Leng somehow made it very entertaining. To give you a glimpse of what type of person Mr. Leng is: he talks/greets/jokes with nearly every local he sees while driving around (and they know him), he signs Khmer songs to himself while driving (like his own radio), and he tells the most animated wide-eyed stories. The guy is high on life, and considering the struggles a lot of Cambodians went through, it's really touching to see. Additionally, we went on the plankton tour at 8PM, and though we did see some plankton, it was low activity, and Mr. Leng didn't want us to pay! He said "I do tours for happy. No happy, no pay". We insisted on paying him anyways. We were also leaving at 6am the next morning, and Mr. Leng woke up just to see us off. He waited with us until we got our Tuk-Tuk. My wife tells me this is a "super Cambodian" thing to do, especially with family (i.e. walking someone all the way to the door, making sure they’re truly seen off). Anyways, staying here was THE highlight of our Kampot trip. I'd set your expectations for the room and understand why it's special.

We have been backpack travelling for over 40 years to see, to experience, to learn, to understand, to meet new people....we have always tried to stay in guesthouses as the closer contact with the owners contributed to making our days feel more special, helped us organize our arrivals and departures, our tours or personal explorations of the area, and sometimes even helped us find solutions to minor or major problems....Most of all our experiences in homestays have been great but some have been absolutely unforgettable. Fish Island Bungalows is one if them.This homestay is what hospitality is all about! M. Leng and his wife are the perfect hosts: both absolutely genuine, honest, and caring...wonderfull positive energy flowing in the surroundings, between the guests and with the owners...It really felt like home andc we undoubtedly will come back....

Nothing ! We were absolutely satisfied with everything!

I can't express how great this place is... i enjoyed my stay a lot! Not only was the room super comfortable but Mr Leng and his wife are also amazing hosts!! Their hospitality is beyond great, they're so genuine, helpful, incredibly kind and literally have the warmest heart! It realllyy felt like home! Oh and there's a nice rooftop with a bar as well, Mr. Leng makes the best cocktails!!! You guys are going to LOVE IT! I can't recommend this place enough

The place is lovely, a bit remote from the center but only a dollar or so away. We enjoyed Mr Leng touring us on the island. Thanks
