La plage de kampot by lee & hap guest house

We booked for seven nights. The location is very nice - a few steps across the road and you are already on the beach and can enjoy the view of the river. Especially the sunsets are wonderful. Lee and JP are great hosts, helpful and we got a map of Kampot right at the beginning and good tips on what to see. The food offered is very good. We enjoyed both breakfast and dinner very much. Our room was small and could do with a small bedside table or two. It was neatly equipped with air conditioning and bathroom, sinks and mirrors are placed outside the bathroom, which I find quite practical. Borrowing a moped was also no problem. This can be organized directly at the accommodation. Which is good, because then the passport can be deposited with JP, which feels safer than handing it over to anyone. Unfortunately, depositing the passport as a security has become established in Kampot. I think that's an absolute absurdity, but apparently most tourists have no problem with just giving their only travel document to random people. However, we spent lovely days at the property as the days were very quiet and relaxed.

The nights, at least during our stay, weren't particularly relaxing. A neighboring bar played very loud music with thumping bass every night between 9 p.m. and about midnight, sometimes longer. Starting around 4:30 a.m., the fishing boats return from the sea. The roaring engines then jolted me from my brief slumber. Unfortunately, this meant we didn't get much sleep. Our bungalow was also on the side facing the bar, so you might not hear it as well on the other side. Just a heads-up, though—earplugs would definitely be very helpful here. There were two electrical outlets in our room, both of which were somewhat awkwardly positioned. Since we work online and therefore had several electronic devices to charge, this was a bit of a challenge. 😉

The hosts JP and Isabella were absolutely lovely. Couldn't do enough for me. Very relaxed atmosphere. Nice symmetrical layout, little huts outside with hammocks in, to lie in and listen to nature. Food available on site. Bike hire can be arranged and bought to your door.

The owners were a friendly couple who made us feel very welcome. The room was very clean and the bed was so comfortable! The location was just out of town but an easy tuk tuk ride into the centre of Kampot. JP sat us down and showed us a map with all the local activities which really helped us to make the most of our time in Kampot. We also LOVED a cuddle in the morning with their dogs who were always happy to greet you at the gates. We managed to rent scooters from here which was great to explore Bokor national park.

JP and Isabelle were so lovely and welcoming from the very start of our stay. Helpful, friendly and made us feel like part of the Kampot family. I enjoyed sitting and talking with JP as if we were old friends. Super interesting guy and lovely family, would 10/10 recommend these guys for everything! Merci beaucoup!! Kian

Beautiful place in front of the river with air-condition. Very comfortable bed and clean room. The owner and his wife are lovely and welcoming. They helped us with scooter rental and recommendations for activities. Very good value for money!!!
