Amazing hostel! Crazy deck leading to the ocean, and you can hear the waves as you sleep. Sok San is a small village and the beach is gorgeous

Stayed in July 2025

Don’t recommend staying here if you don’t ride a motorbike as it is quite isolated and expensive to go to and from the main areas by tuktuk/taxi. (However if you are happy just staying put and relaxing then you would be fine)

Really clean facilities, understanding staff when we had to shorten our stay

- Occasional power cuts but this is across the whole island - Location is nice and peaceful but there isn’t lots to do around the area so I would recommend getting a scooter to see the island - There isn’t any service in the area either so you can use the WiFi at the hostel but as soon as you leave you have nothing

- The view from the hostel dorm is insane! I woke up every morning to the sound of the waves and would sit on the deck and read my kindle (heaven) - Comfy large beds with curtains/plug sockets/lights/fans - The hostel owner Christophe is very lovely and makes you feel very welcome! The lady who does the cleaning/check-in/shop keeping is also very friendly :) - Nice big lockers under the beds to fit your bags and locks are provided! - The place is kept very clean at all times - You can rent great scooters from here at $10 a day including fuel (although this is not 24 hours like some other places, it is just for the day) - Christophe taught me how to drive a scooter and I did so successfully after 5 months of travelling without one!

Only the shower could have been a bit cleaner (a lot of hair)

I stayed at Akounamatata for 4 nights during a few months travelling Southeast Asia. I wanted to relax so I chose this location which seemed to be quieter than the south of the island. I was the best decision ! I loved this hostel :) The location was close to one of the most beautiful beach of the island. There is only one dorm which made it very easy to meet other solo travellers. I have made some very good friends and Christophe, the host, is always up for a chat and gives excellent recommendations. I would 10000% recommend this place if you are looking for some peace and quiet and make some friends !

Facilities are ok. There wasn’t a comfy place to chill besides our room (terrace pretty small but they are building a bigger one), but the idea is to be outside to I believe is ok.

There’s a single dorm with a plenty of space that creates a unique opportunity to meet other travelers. Location was perfect, a bit a way of the island center but my goal was to be in a quite and pristine beach, and that’s what you get.

No complaints at all. Everything was fantastic. This is a hidden gem, which ticked all the boxes for me.

Cleanliness. Owner peronally supervised everything, and was also cleaning many times himself. Christophe is an amazing host and was always extremely helpful with advice for the guests.

Nothing, I barely say it, but everything was perfect.

Everything. The hostel is clean, the view is beautiful, the beds are comfortable. Hands down - one of the best Hostels I ever stayed in all of Asia. The owner is the nicest guy and gives the best recommendations and gives you the best vibes. You truly are in paradise!

Guests smoking at the deck by the water and the dorm door is not close, so basically the entire dorm smell like smoke whenever someone smokes.

By the water and the relaxing sound of the crashing waves. Not a party place, so very good if you want some real peace. Nice French owner.

I stayed at this hostel for five days, and it was one of the best I’ve ever been to! Very modern, quiet, and secluded – perfect for relaxing. The beds are super comfortable, everything is clean and well-maintained. Especially the host, Christian, is incredibly friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back!

Amazing view, amazing dorm - everything is so beautiful, clean and simply amazing. The owner and his staff are great. It is in a very calm part of the island, perfect to explore the island’s beaches by motorbike and have a very chill and relaxing time. Ppl in the village are great and there a good dinner options.

Everything! Thanks to Christophe, the owner of the hostel, who allowed me to discover the island during my week spent on Koh Rong! The hostel is perfect, very modern and super well equipped! Christophe is always accommodating and gives very good advice! Don’t hesitate to take the GTVC boat company to go on Koh Rong island because the boat will stop not far from the hostel and will save you a $10 tuktuk and 20 minutes from Koh Touch.

More toilet paper should be stocked, we ran out daily (get a big roll of toilet paper). Get better hand soap (the blue bar of soap was slightly strange). These are all minor things since the hostel just opened there’s some stuff to iron out.

The location is excellent. Where you choose to stay in Koh Rong can make or break your experience, and this hostel is situated in a lovely Khmer village with an unbelievable beach nearby (most immaculate I’ve ever seen, breathtaking). The hostel is very clean, frequently cleaned. It’s peaceful, definitely wouldn’t qualify as a party hostel. So come here if you want to relax in serene surroundings in a lovely Khmer village with fantastic beaches and scenery. Staff all friendly.
