Soriyabori Villas Resort

Cet hôtel reste le meilleur de l’île pour l’instant. Il est situé dans un parc arboré magnifique où nous nous sommes endormis avec les bruits de la nuit et réveillés par les chants d’oiseaux, c’était un bonheur. La chambre est une villa spacieuse et décorée avec goût dans le style khmer esprit brocante. La piscine est très belle, le restaurant délicieux et le personnel totalement adorable. Ceci dit, la chambre (la plomberie) aurait besoin de petites rénovations pour garder son charme. Pour le moment l’emplacement est unique mais il risque de subir rapidement la concurrence de petites guesthouses très coquettes où on mange délicieusement bien et où l’ambiance est plus friendly et moins feutrée. Une belle adresse mais très chère par rapport aux guesthouses autour (nous avons testé successivement les deux types d’hébergement). Pour résumer, ce n’est pas un hôtel de luxe mais plus un cottage, cela reste l’adresse la plus confortable.

This was a nice little family hotel. An atmosphere of beeing in the jungle 😄 Nice hot pool and very huge Rooms. Our apartment had to bathrooms and seperate bedrooms. Og was absoluely perfect. The staff was very sweet and polite. Our best recommendations.

The hotel is situated on an island across from Kratie, it is accessed by the local ferry, which departs when it is full. The hotel rooms are traditional rooms on stilts, but are very dark inside, difficult to have to windows open as there is no mesh so all bugs are able to get in. Lighting is poor, rooms felt stuffy, there is a ceiling fan and mosquito net. There was a frog in the room by the bed in the morning, thankfully I did put a light on before stepping out of bed and saw it in time. Restaurant is located in main reception area overlooking the swimming pool, food was acceptable, maybe a little pricey compared to other meals we had been having. We only had the 1 night here and I’m sure there are better/easier places to stay in Kratie.

Really enjoyed the island and the hotel. Makara runs a good service with everytjing looking great. It was a bit of a faff to get the boat over but also part of the experience, make sure the hotel arranges a tuktuk to pick you up from the ferry. The rooms were fine but without AC could be hot under the mosquito net- we also got bitten quite a bit. Food was fine with western and khmer options. Loved the island, so peaceful, rural and chilled. Makara arranged a trip to dolphins which was seamless, and fairly priced..

1- terrible service. They forgot our reservation so our room was not fully prepared. They forgot to turn on our water and they was a strange and strong smell in our room 2- rooms are quite spacious, nice wooden bungalow but it’s terribly dark inside, mattress are not confortable at all, we didn’t had water the first day, and even after it wasn’t usable. It’s quite noisy as you can hear everything from outside ( ex: dog barking ) 3- restaurant : dîner was nice, we had a good fish nicely prepared. Be careful because each time we had to wait more than 50mn to have our food ready. For breakfast it was more about 20/25mn… very very slow, but it depends if you are in the rush or not 4- very nice pool, very warm, and incredibly huge. It was the best we had during our trip Thé localisation is far from everything so it’s very lovely, but be ready to be very isolated, you need a bike and then a boat to leave the island. 5- terrible front desk. They don’t speak English at all, so when our water was off, we had to wait until morning for our guide to translate because they couldn’t understand. They agreed to book taxi for us, and forgot so we had to walk 3,5km. We ordered our breakfast in advance for the last day, and they also forgot to prep it. It was complicated. Overall a nice place but the service was terrible

Room hot no air conditioning ceiling fan very slow and so unbearably hot room very dark with poor lighting no privacy as toilet is situated in bedroom the food was not nice only a small choice available although extensive menu but western food not available perhaps due to Covid and housekeeping poor room not that clean very old matteress on bed looked worn but the swimming pool lovely Please note it is extremely isolated
