Guest Reviews

• Brian (8/5): Hyggeligt hotel med søde medarbejdere - Hotellet er lille og super hyggeligt, og medarbejderne er super hjælpsomme. Det ligger perfekt i gåafstand til det meste. Hotellet går op i bæredygtighed og støtter lokalsamfundet.
• Vera Møller Paulin (8/5): Hyggeligt lille sted - Hyggeligt lille hotel med dejlig gårdhave/poolområde. God afstand til byen og muligheder for at booke ture direkte ved hotellet med søde chauffører.
• COQUAND (2/5): - Unfortunately, Babel Guesthouse was not the right fit for us. Upon arrival with my husband and our 3-year-old daughter, we quickly realized it wasn’t what we were looking for to end our vacation. We decided immediately to find an hotel and never used the room—we left it exactly as we found it. I had booked four nights and didn’t expect any kind of refund. However, the manager contacted me asking me to cancel the reservation through Expedia. I did so right away, thinking perhaps they were considering refunding at least a couple of nights. I wasn’t expecting to be refunded for the first night, as that wouldn’t have been fair. But in the end, it became clear that the only reason for the request was to free up the room and offer it to someone else, without offering me anything in return. It was a disappointing and frustrating experience.
• Cecilie (10/5): Lækkert hotel - Det var virkelig en god oplevelse. Lækkert hotel til en meget god pris. De gik meget op i miljøet, og så havde de en super lækker pool. Top oplevelse herfra.
• Natalie (10/5): - Babel was a gorgeous place to stay in Siem Reap. Not far from the river & restaurant precinct it gave us a peaceful refuge after a day of exploration. Gorgeous pool area where we relaxed enjoying sumptuous cocktails. The attention to sustainability with recycling with water bottles & products used. Impressive. Loved our stay & definitely will be back.
• Berit (4/5): Ikke for godt voksne.. - Dårlig utstyrt rom. Ikke kjøleskap,tv,men kunne få hårføner og vannkoker i resepsjonen. Ikke greit å måtte ta av sko i resepsjonen før en gikk flere etasjer til rom. Hyggelig bassengområde. Barnevennlig. Hyggelig personale. Overpriset sammenlignet med andre steder.
• Nanna (10/5): Would stay again - Very nice stay and very comfortable. One of our rooms was perfect, while the other had all outlets behind the beds which is not a big problem but a little annoying having to climb the bed to charge every time. The bath-products and shop is excellent, the food was really good and the atmosphere beautiful and cosy.
• Silje (10/5): En oase midt i byen - Herlig stemning, skulle gjerne vært her lengre. Sosialt sted å bo, du kommer i prat med gjester i bar/lobby. Herlige sjåfører og hjelpsomme ansatte. Anbefaler flere av utfluktene. Maten er god. Bassengområdet hyggelig. Fint miljøfokus. Deilig at sengen var en ordentlig dobbeltseng og ikke to små slått sammen med grop i midten.
• Jan (10/5): - Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Guesthouse hat ein tolles Konzept für soziale Verantwortung und Nachhaltigkeit. Es gibt ein großes Angebot an Touren und auch eigene Tuktuk- und Taxifahrer, die einen auf Wunsch fahren oder auch eigene Ideen haben, was sie einem in Siem Reap zeigen können. Ein wirklich toller Service! Das Essen ist lecker, manchmal dauert es etwas länger, da es frisch zubereitet wird. Selbst die Speisen auf der Kinderkarte sind frisch und nicht industriell gefertigt. Beim nächsten Aufenthalt in Siem Reap werden wir definitiv wieder ein Babel Haus wählen.
• Lina (10/5): Absolutely amazing! - Wow! This place was amazing from the second I arrived, such a beautiful atmosphere, lovely staff, clean room and good location. They also have a restaurant which serves amazing food, the glass noodle salad was one of the best meals I've had. If I ever come back to Siem Reap I will definitely be staying here again!
• Katherine (10/5): Sustainable hotel for the win in Siam Reap - Beautiful oasis in middle of Siam Reap with friendly staff and a full service bar and restaurant focused on sustainability
• Tony (10/5): Priced right & value for money - A funky little hotel geared for the eco/vegan/family type travellers For the price it’s extremely good value in a nice walkable location to restaurants etc We loved the restaurant bar area & staff. Just fantastic great value for money & a beautiful ambiance. My only gripe that the food menu leaned more towards vegan, however not entirely. The pool area is an oasis from the hustle & bustle very nice. The rooms are of good size & comfortable, however shower was hand held with poor pressure. No fridge in the rooms, however we’re allowed to put drinks in kitchen fridge downstairs. Wifi was average. When we stayed there were several families with young children. They could be loud, but that’s kids, & hotel catered well for them. If that’s an issue for you, take note. Additionally most rooms are on upper levels, with steep stairs. No lifts Overall we really liked the hotel & would consider staying again. It’s priced accordingly & certainly has a family owned charm about it, & their staff were exceptional
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Väldigt mysigt boende med bra service och trevlig personal. Skulle bli ändå bättre med grundligt städade rum samt sängkläder och handdukar tvättade på hög temperatur. Mycket fläckar och solkigt!
• Daniele (8/5): - Spiego perché non so 5/5. È una guest house e non un resort 5 stelle. Detto questo è molto pulito, staff super gentile e location molto caratteristica. Si mangia bene e lo stile è molto europeo. Si trova a circa 1 km da pub street. Il che ci sta perché è una passeggiata in una zona tranquilla e che comunque sembra davvero sicura. Ci sarebbero alcune accortezze da migliorare per renderlo perfetto: 1- le salviette doccia sono logore e strappate... Ok che è una guest house ma basterebbe un po' più di cura. In generale gli asciugamani sono pochi 2- le gite all'angkor vat organizzate dall'hotel sono ottime e i ragazzi sono simpatici, però costano più che contrattando direttamente col Tuc tuc. Ci sta. Non ci vorrebbe nulla però ad avere una borsa frigo con due acque e un po' di frutta (i tuc tuc "autoctoni" lo hanno quasi tutti!). 3- quando viene messo il cartellino "please male my room" in realtà si limitano a rifare il letto ma niente di molto accurato... Piscina top e col caldo che fa lì è una manna! In generale lo consiglierei.
• Hidemi (10/5): - Very good! Recommended with friendly Tuk Tuk drivers
• Viktoria (10/5): Schöne Tage im Babel Guesthouse! - Toller Aufenthalt! Schönes, sauberes Zimmer. Sehr sehr freundliches Personal, das geduldig jede Nachfrage beantwortete. Es können Touren (z.B. zu den Tempeln) vom Hotel aus gebucht werden (haben hoteleigene Tuktuk-Fahrer, die sich wirklich gut auskennen und gut Englisch sprechen), es gibt einen Trinkwasserspender, der jederzeit umsonst benutzt werden kann und die Speisekarte ist so breit aufgestellt, dass jeder etwas findet. Die Mango-Shakes sind sehr zu empfehlen! Gemütlicher Aufenthaltsbereich draußen im Schatten sowie Pool mit Liegen im hinteren Bereich des Guesthouses. Sehr zu empfehlen, würde jederzeit wieder buchen!!
• Darren (10/5): - Best part is the food is tastier and cheaper than outside restaurants. Great food.
• Verified traveler (10/5): A relaxing guesthouse away from the centre - Spent a pleasant few days at Babel Guesthouse in Siem Reap. The staff are very friendly, although the English speakers seemed to lack a bit of local knowledge. Liked the eco aspect of the guesthouse. Our room was very large, with a good shower. AC and fan was available. The guesthouse dining/lounge area is big and enjoyable to use, as is the pool out the back of the building. The guesthouse is well located for Virek Buntham buses and you can get to the main tourist area of Siem Reap in a 15-20 minute walk. Breakfast is available, but it is more expensive than you can find elsewhere. The same for dinner. Ask to be collected from the airport or bus station and your tuk tuk driver will be your personal chauffeur during your time in Siem Reap. Definitely listen to their guidance on how to get around the temples and take a tour with them.
• Philippe (10/5): - Nous avons passés un séjour des plus agréable dans un établissement en plein centre ville. L’accueil et la chambre étaient à la hauteur de nos espérances. Le seul bémol encore une fois est que la pratique du Français ne soit pas plus généralisé dans ce type d’hôtellerie. Encore merci à l’équipe du Babel !
• GIGI (10/5): - I loved my stay at Babel Guest House for its eco-friendliness, easy availability of tuktuks, clean & green surroundings, friendly staff, beautiful pool etc. I loved the minimalistic approach but I would personally consider to have a kettle & a long mirror in the room.
• Dennis (10/5): En oase midt i Siem Reap - Babel er en oase i Siem Reap. Fantastisk medarbejdere der møder dig med et smil . Det er klart vores bedste hoteloplevelse i byen og vi har været der mange gange. Her har vi fået god værdi for pengene og kan varmt anbefales .
• Thanh (8/5): - It was good and the staff was very helpful
• Susan (8/5): Friendly Place - The staff was attentive and helpful. Our major issues were the fact that there was smoking allowed in the dining area which seemed incongruous with the eco focus of the hotel and the shower was a challenge to use. There wasn’t a hand towel or bath mat either. Except for these few things we enjoyed our stay with Babel Guesthouse and would recommend it. Our tuk-tuk driver Toy was a delight and very thoughtful.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Nothing is provided but a room - Very simple room. No shampoo, no body wash, no hair dryer, no refrigerator. The blanket is super thin. Maybe it’s just a bed sheet.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Rooms are clean and spacious. The staff was extremely helpful with all my inquires. This guesthouse is also doing lots of work not just in their building but in the community to promote going green.
• Karl Børre (10/5): - Babel er et fantastisk sted å bo i Siem Reap. Du får den gode guesthousefølelsen der folk fra hele verden snakker med hverandre, samtidig med at standarden er veldig god. Store rom som rengjøres når du vil.God restaurant, bar og lounge. Kort vei til sentrum. Flinke tuk-tuk sjåfører som er en del av Babelfamilien. Refill av vannflasker og egen refill-butikk med f.eks såpe. Paret som driver stedet er engasjerte i en rekke miljøprosjekter. Bo her!
• Maureen (10/5): - The Babel guesthouse owners and staff were very welcoming and helpful. The accommodation was clean and food delicious.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Comfortable and very clean, good location.
• xavier (6/5): Pas chère mais tout est en plus. Petit déjeuner+ - Proprios sympas, manque une piscine mais on peut aller se baigner dans des hotels de la street 20th contre entrée. Hôtel un peu sombre qd on est logé au rdc. Le plus, repas possible sur place si besoin. Le moins petit-déjeuner et eau non inclus.
• Verified traveler (10/5): #1 guesthouse in Siem Reap! - The owners and staff are amazing! They’re like a family.
• Fredrik (10/5): Excellent guesthouse - Great place to stay when exploring Siem Reap/Angkor Wat! Nice and clean place, friendly staff, the norwegian owners are super hosts and will help you with anything. Good location outside the craziness but just some minutes walk/short tuk-tuk ride away. Pool available at neighbour site.
• Bjorn (10/5): Norsk Guesthouse i Siem Reap - Hvis man skal til Siem Reap og se Angkor Wat er det et must å bo hos hyggelige Katrine og Simen, Helt supert å få tips og råd av hyggelige norske verter. Stedet er bra også, ingen luksus men fine rom med det man trenger. Takk for et hyggelig opphold
• Linda (10/5): Close proximity to many locations - Great place to stay. Friendly staff and owners. Associated tuktuk drivers are prompt, friendly, and safe drivers. Nice to have a driver assigned to you for the duration of your stay.
• joe (6/5): ごく一般的 - 比較的に高い評価を受けているようですが、ごく一般的なアコモデーションだと思います。 ファミリールームを利用しましたが、部屋の大きさや、シャワーの湯量など普通です。 中心街から距離があるので静かですが、賑やかなところへ行くのはトゥクトゥクが必要です。
• Erin (10/5): Great Experience and Staff - We spent one night in Siem Reap after a day of traveling before heading to Angkor Wat the next day. The staff was very friendly and accommodating- would definitely stay here again!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Excellent - The hotel is really good. It is ruled by a Norwegian couple, they are very helpful in everything, including great advises about your trips. Hotel is very clean and the building is beautiful. Prices in the cafe of the hotel are quite good as well. Hotel also has a nice tropical garden, where you can enjoy a drink while watching Tomb Raider movie :)
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Grande posto, grande personale. Fuori dal Comune da provare sicuramente
• Anna (8/5): Sehr nettes Guesthouse und super Team! - Wir haben uns im Babel Guesthouse sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und bemüht. Es werden verschiedene Trips angeboten und das Guesthouse selbst hat einige TukTuk Fahrer. Die Preise für die Fahrer sind etwas höher als auf der Straße, aber der Service ist es definitiv wert. Auch die Küche können wir nur loben. Wir hatten jeden Tag Frühstück (war inkludiert) und entweder Lunch oder einen Snack im Guesthouse direkt. Die Preise für Essen & Getränke sind viel günstiger als auf der Pub Street und vorallem Pad Thai und Fish Amok können wir wärmsten empfehlen. In unserem Preis war auch ein Flughafentransfer inkludiert. Leider ging aus der Expedia-Buchung nicht hervor, dass es sich nur um den Transfer bei Ankunft handelt. Wir wollten es für das Guesthouse eigentlich einfacher machen und den Rücktransfer in Anspruch nehmen (damit niemand lange warten muss, sollte der Flug bei Ankunft Verspätung haben) leider war dies aber nicht möglich. Warum wissen wir leider nicht. Aber die $5 für den Transfer zum Flughafen haben uns nicht umgebracht und allein die Erfahrung am TukTuk mit 3 Koffern zum Flughafen zu fahren war jeden Cent wert :)))
• Rachel (8/5): Convenient Location - Located only a 3 minute tuk tuk ride from pub street and removed from the craziness this was a great place to stay. Staff were very helpful and organised yours for us once we had arrived. Definitely more or a hostel or budget hotel feel but in a street full of similar accomodation. Pool next door was great to have a swim after a hot day.
• Nina (10/5): Trivelig sted med kjekke folk - Veldig greit hotell til en billig penge. Rent, hyggelig betjening, har det som trengs. Ikke basseng på hotellet, men tilgang på basseng på nabohotellet så det er ikke noe problem. Hotellet ligger i en rolig gate noen få minutters tuktuk-tur til sentrum.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Bra och mysigt Guesthouse. - Bra Guesthouse med underbar personal, framför allt norskorna som driver stället. Ca 15 min till centrum till fots. Mycket liten frukost. Finns en pool på guesthouset bredvid som är mycket fin, kostar dock 3 dollar för varje tillfälle.
• Ruan (10/5): Don't stay anywhere else in Siem Reap - Prices are great, the staff even better but the best is that their heart is in the right place.
