We liked everything.

A really fantastic stay for us on the beautiful island of Samloem. A little walk away from the main street but nice to be out of the main section. Simon and his lovely little family made us feel so welcome at their home. We had access to drinking water in their kitchen. They have 2 beautiful cats and chickens that gives a really nice feel to the place. I took 2 books from their collection which was very helpful. No air con on the island but the room had a big ceiling fan which did the job. We really reccomend this place as it ticks all the boxes.

I chose this guesthouse because it was a little outside the Main Street where you can have some musics. So it was nice Very simple room, but everything was great.

If you're OK with basic conditions, this is a good option. Clean and comfortable, and the owners are very kind.

Lovely hosts, very clean, close to everything but far away enough to have some peace! Good communication with hosts, definitely recommend

Sre Long was a friendly and welcoming host! The rooms are basic but have everything you need - they are done so they feel homely, even if it is basic. We loved the garden and having some outdoor space, including the animals - cats and chickens in particular. The bed was very comfortable. We did not find any issue with not having A/C, as the fan was powerful. No issues with any insects or mosquitos either. It is also in a nice location, a quiet street but we could walk to everything as M’Pai Bay is a very small place. Overall, a fantastic experience - thank you!

Doesn't have aircon (but that's known from the listing).

Great location - quiet but only a few mins walk from the village. Friendly owner and friendly cat! Great value. Exactly as described

Everything has been perfect! Simon is a great host, very thoughtful and available for any doubt. The guesthouse is in a very quiet and peaceful place. The rooms are cl3an, well equipped and spacious. There's a water boiler in every room and the instant coffee/tea and drinking water are always available for free. There's a garden well maintained with hammocks to chill and the company of a few cats and chickens. The island is a paradise itself but staying at baloo makes it even more enjoyable.

Comfortable, clean accomodation and the owners Simon and Srey Long are super lovely and accomodating. The garden is beautiful, very nice to chill out there on the hammocks with the cute cats. A bit out of town (5 min walk) which is nice for a bit of peace and quiet ☺️ Highly recommend!

The room is very simple but clean, quiet and comfortable. The garden around the house is also very nice and the staff very kind and helpful.

Nothing, just be aware there’s no aircon and a few load cockerels around but that’s all part of island life!

Mon and his family were really welcoming! The room had a big mosquito net and large fan which we were grateful for in the heat. There’s chairs out front and a lovely garden for you to enjoy a cup of coffee. Free coffee/tea, water refills and a hand drawn map of the islands were nice touches that made our stay even better! We liked the cats too!

Really enjoyed our stay at Baloo Guesthouse. Simon was an excellent host and made us feel very welcome. Room was excellent value for money and only a short walk from the two beaches.

Very sweet hostfamily, super helpful and friendly. Amazing garden and great vibes, clean accommodation and free water refill. The placing of the guesthouse is great close to the beach and restaurants, but still quiet at night.

I understand it's hard to get on the island but no wifi. wished there where a few more services than just accommodation.

Location is a bit further from "center" so it's more quiet. And nothing is really far anyway. Large mosquito net and comfy bed. Friendly owner, Simon even lent me some fishing gear.

Quiet location but close to the beach, restaurants and sunset lookout. Very friendly and sincere family run the guest house. Clean room and bathroom. Relaxing to sit in garden.

Anyone who hasn't come to live in his house, I'll be sorry for you. Very clean and tidy room, cool at night, no mosquitoes. There's a beautiful garden out front where you can lie in a hammock all day. Mon and his wife are very warm and friendly. Their babies are cute, too. The neighbors are also very welcoming. Close to the beach, you can pay a little money to have a delicious lunch at his house, which is cheaper than outside restaurants. Anyone coming to this island I recommend renting a canoe for $5 and paddling around the island for an afternoon. Much more exciting than surfing and diving. Unfortunately, the vacation is too short. I wish I could stay at his house for a long time. Thanks Angel Mon！I will definitely recommend many Chinese friends to come to your home, I hope you and your family will always be happy!

Could do with a new mosquito net .

Amazing stay at Mon and Srey Long's place in M'Pai Bay. Lovely hosts that made us feel very welcome on the island. Good location very close to main bit of town and also 10 minute walk to a beautiful beach. Good size room with comfy bed. Nice outside garden seating area. Cute cats too! Basic accommodation but good value for money on a paradise island.

Accept that it will be hot (as are all the non a/c options I guess). But other than that, it was great.

Amazing spot! Big fan to cool down and quiet spot on the island. Still it's very close to the beach (5 a 10 minute walk) and even closer to the restaurants. They offer a fun map to guide you, free water refill and a shortcut to the beach. The room had a nice mosquito net and a place to sit outside. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely family run guesthouse. Really helpful owners who answered my (many!) questions and helped me book a boat to go snorkelling. It looks like it’s far from the main part of the village on the map but it’s a 5 minute walk maximum.

The garden, the village of M'Pai Bai (a hand written Map us provided), the kindness of the hosts.

Nice place à bit away from the bar musics, to be in a peaceful place. The owner is very friendly and fluent in ebglish, always available to answer to all your questions and help you! Perfect stay to chill on the beach, snorkeling and see biolulinescent plankton!
