Friend of Nature Bungalow

Everything. So peaceful and amongst the locals far from tourists. Could use the kyack to explore the mangroves & beach. Bungalow is fully sheltered from the rain and sun. It was off-season, so luckily, one cade was open with good food, only $3.

Not, it was a big deal, but it wasn't homestay . Didn't see the owners just a manager once. . I would label it an independent bungalow stay.

The bungalow is located in a fishing village. It’s quiet and you have some local restaurants in the village. the view is beautiful as the room is near the little river where you can kayak. It’s not a luxury place, the bathroom is quite rustic but if you don’t mind that. It’s a really cool place to stay. Not far from Lonely beach by moto. The host was very kind to bring me to some locations as I don’t know how to drive a moto. He was very helpful.

If you want a real bathroom, don’t come here.

Such a beautiful location. I loved being in a village where tourism didn't feel like the primary activity. The mangrove with all the fishing boats is very picturesque, and i would have been happy to spend the whole week just gazing at the view from my veranda! But i didn't 😂 Johney was incredibly helpful and friendly, giving me lifts to the various stunning beaches (I didn't have a scooter) and sorting out my onward boat ticket. The bungalow itself was basic, but everything it needed to be. I certainly recommend Friend of Nature as a place to stay.

Johney is amazing, the village is amazing, the bungalow has everything you need and the view is incredible !! You should definitely go there rather than in the big resorts, you just have to rent a bike :) (say hi to the otter if u see it)

Amazing place located in a very quiet area of the island immersed in the local community. I really liked the bungalows right above the water. The Cottages are simple but don't lack amenities like power and shower. the beds are very nice too. You can use the kayak to go into the mangroves free of charge. Again, very comfortable quiet and wholesome.

This is a developing country and progress goes fast here. Basic services like waste disposal and handling are not taken care of. This isn't really due to the owner but more an overall community problem of which the government takes insufficient care off. There is so much plastic in the mangroves as well as littered through the village.

This was one of the highlights of our 6 month trip around SE Asia. Definitely worth a stay here if you want a break from the busy life. This is a little piece of heaven, a 40 minute Tuk Tuk drive from the main strip of Koh Rong. Staying on a floating bungalow on the mangrove, you can take a free Kayak whenever you want and go around the mangrove or to the sea. You can volunteer to teach local children English, which was a great experience. A great place to recharge, with nice food places around the property and gorgeous nature and scenery to surround you. Couldn’t recommend it more.

There is no wifi on this property, which was absolutely fine with me, nice for a digital detox, but might be important if you are working online whilst travelling!

This place was a real treat - accomodation is great, basic but good. A wooden hut over the water in a very friendly village. A good bed, fan, cold water bathroom with shower - all good with a hammock outside, table and chairs. We were very happy here. Food is around 14,000 riel per meal and a bottle of water 1.5l is 3/4,000 riel. No option of refil unfortunately. There was no toilet roll or soap provided, everywhere was perfectly clean. There is a very friendly bakery man who comes round on a bike between 8am and 9am who sells nice bakery items - short french stick for 3,000 riel and plain donut 2,000 riel. The island is beautiful and friendly. We loved our stay here and would definately stay again. There is a single lone otter who wanders around trying to befriend the dogs who is lovely.

We arrived at Koh Rong on the supply boat at about 18 00 hrs, the boat stopped at the Palm Beach Bungalow resort - we walked from here but we had no clear instructions on where to go. Directions would have been good. For information you come out onto the road, turn right and walk until you come accross a temple, come into the village and just before a bridge you turn left. Mention the name Johney and you should get there.
