I am really struggling to come up with something negative, something I did not like besides the challenging reef access, which is just nature doing its thing so complaining about it is useless. If you arrive from another resort on the island: Blondies Bungalows are maybe not the most well known place so you might have to give detailed instructions to the tuk-tuk driver, to drive through entire Sok San Village, to cross the wooden bridge, to drive up a narrow path further than expected and so forth until you get there.

I'm not the typical tourist, I focus 99% on freediving. From that perspective I am at the near perfect place. Owner and operator is himself a diving enthusiast so he had a ton of valuable tips and hints. The bungalow while lacking AC was fine due to being partially shaded. Bungalow is very well equipped: had 2 powerful fans so heat was never a bothersome issue. A positive surprise was ability for warm shower... if you (for some weird reason) would want a warm shower. Refrigerator in room, a huge water bottle in room! Kettle for tea/coffee. Just outside bungalow there is a short path leading straight to the start of the coral reef! That is amazing, no immediate need to splurge money of snorkeling tours unless you want a change of scenery. Snorkeling (and I think scuba) tours was possible, pending how many signs up. (Just talk to others and try to agree upon a suitable date). The reef access through the path is a bit difficult if you are clumsy or are not of good physique. It is a bit steep slope to walk for starters. Once you enter water you have to wade/walk on sharp rocks and other uneven surfaces. This can be challenging normally and up to quite difficult if the tide is really low. For people who like it easy but wanting to snorkel the reef, no worries, a short walk towards village there are a much easier water front access but you'll have to swim 100m or so to get to the starting point. Because Blondies bungalows are "outside" of village it is very peaceful there, good place for mindfulness, yoga and relaxation. Same with manager, Johnny, very chill guy that takes good care of you as a guest. Village is perfect for me, shops, candy, fresh fruits, smoothies, juices. Very good eating Khmer and "western" foods, a perfectly sleepy village that is easy to love. At the evening/night you can find some thumping music, flashing lights if you want that.

The most amazing place you could stay in Koh Rong. Everyone in the adjoining village is lovely, Johnny himself was the kindest host we’ve had the pleasure of meeting too. Great little retro “shack” in the jungle, amazing viewpoint from the balcony. Seriously, just stay here yourself, I can’t even put it into words how good it is here!

A Hidden Gem by the Sea This charming guest house offers a peaceful retreat with easy access to stunning natural attractions. You can walk down to the cliffside for a snorkeling experience among vibrant corals and colorful fish or take a short, scenic hike to a breathtaking sunset point and a serene waterfall. The nearby village adds a touch of local culture, and the pristine white sandy beach with crystal-clear water is perfect for a leisurely stroll. Run by the warm and welcoming Mr. Blondies, this small business exudes a personal touch that makes you feel right at home. The apartment is well-equipped with a fridge and food container, combining rustic charm with modern comforts. If you're seeking tranquility with a splash of adventure, this guest house is a perfect choice.

This place is just incredibly beautiful little oasis in a quiet corner of Sok San Beach. We loved exactly everything about the accommodation. The bungalow had all the facilities we needed, and a beautiful design. There were many nice bars and restaurants close by. Just in front of our bungalow there was an impressive coral reef where we were spending most of our time. When not snorkeling, we were enjoying the views and the sound of sea waves laying on hammocks. The Blondies villa is a heaven on Earth and we would love to stay again when on Koh Rhong.

Loved all, very reminiscent of old school backpacking bungalows tough to find in SEA now. Kind and helpful host Johnny, and rooms have loads of little bonus’ not often found in budget bungalows: fridge, kettle, abundant drinking water, hot water, clean fresh towels, shamp/cond/body wash, earplugs, power bar and lamp near bed, comfy chair and outside sitting area. Great location over cool bridge from main village (3 min max walk), quiet, with glimpse of local life. Unbelievable views! Planned to stay 2 nights and extended to 11!

The room was a little bit dark, but still 100% worth it given the location

Location is amazing, with an accessible coral reef right in front of the property. Johnny lend us the snorkels for free!

Cute bungalow, simple but with everything you need for an authentic island stay and very clean. Incredible view from the patio, I did yoga everyday. It felt like home, you have towels, beach towels, shower gel and shampoo, water heater for coffee and tea, free snorkeling masks. John and Mel are also very welcoming and they think about every detail. It was an amazing stay. Good value for money and I would definitely stay there again.

Stayed in February 2025

I liked everything. Quiet and calm place, house in the shade of trees. Gazebos with a view of the bay, from which you can meet the sunrise. You can take a mask and water shoes for free and swim near the house among the corals.

Everything is fine! We had little time to stay here longer :) We wish to come back here again!

Great location. Relax. Nature. Everything you need is nearby. John is a wonderful person. Attentive, efficient and always available. His service is top notch. If I could give him all the stars - I would! All information is true. Everything you want to know will be explained to you. These wonderful bungalows have everything, absolutely everything - from a refrigerator to a kettle for making evening tea. Hot water and all the necessary hygiene products. You can take interesting walks. You can swim - there is everything you need for snorkeling. There are many interesting books at the reception. There are authentic gazebos with sea views. The hustle and bustle of the village will remain far away from you. The shops and cafes are very close. You want pizza - there is a real Italian pizza nearby. Very close is a wonderful beach with relaxation on clean sand. The water is calm, there is no strong wind here (unlike other places on the island). If you need a scooter, you can rent one in the village. There are also many cafes there. We are so glad we had this positive experience visiting john. We recommend you do it! It is a great choice! John, we will miss your fabulous place!

The view from the pergolas is amazing! The beach is really close and absolutely a dream and there are so many things to do, beside relaxing and enjoying Paradies. Sok San Beach is a really calm and peaceful village with a few great restaurants. John was such a kind and helpful host. We loved our time at Blondies. The bungalow is in the middle of nature which means you will see and hear some animals. But everything looks just like in the pictures and the description. Great experience!

John is a very helpful and attentive host. His advice and suggestions were excellent concerning places to eat, drink and visit. The location is picture perfect and the pagodas (exclusively for Blondies guests) overlooking the bay are to die for especially at sunrise which is not to be missed. There are some great options for dining merely a few minutes away such as a fab Italian restaurant and a traditional Khmer restaurant, both recommended by John. We highly recommend staying here for a unique and memorable experience on the nicest part of the island.

Bungalows with island atmosphere and stunning views from the pagodas (same as on the pictures, no surprises there). John, the host, is very friendly and helpful: he organised a nice boat trip for us, the laundry and made sure that the speed boat was there to pick us up. Great choice for a nice and quiet stay on Koh Rong!

The ferry doesn’t go direct there in the low season and the access out of Khao Touch is really bad. Plan ahead. Message Johnny.

it was so close to the village, with spectacular views and yet so quiet. The bungalow was really comfortable and clean and the pagoda at the waters edge, for both catching the sunrise, doing yoga, writing a journal at the table, reading in a hammock was just gorgeous. Nothing was too much trouble for Jonny. He was great with advice and providing me with everything I needed.

Might be a little bit out of the way for some.

The property has great deckings where it’s perfect to sit and watch the sunset. Ideal for those who are looking for a relaxing spot to relax and do plenty of reading!

Blondies an absolute top bloke answered all of our questions and is overall a really laid back guy. free coconut on arrival! Great room and amazing snorkeling spot right next to the bungalow spent two whole days just watching the coral reef, even seen an octopus! Would love to come back if we're ever in the area again. Best spot on the island.

A magical little place in a gorgeous location. The atmosphere is as relaxing as it gets and John is a great host. His friendly, laidback attitude perfectly fits with the vibe of the property and makes this an ideal place to just sit back and recharge your battery while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. This was one of our favourite stays in all of South East Asia!

We had such a brilliant time staying at Blondies. Johnny our host was accommodating throughout, he met us at the harbour and helped with our bags, gave us lots of recommendations and then got us a coconut as a welcome gift! The room was great and spacious with everything we needed and more. There's coffee facilities and shampoo and conditioner. The view from the rooms and the property is brilliant and the hammocks to chill out on are so nice. There is also a reef at the bottom that you can snorkel in, all in all a brilliant stay.

Our stay in the bungalows was wonderful, John makes the experience even better, if what you are looking for is to get away and enjoy the amazing beaches of Cambodia without a doubt this is a great option. You can get there directly via the ferry or take a tuk tuk, we had no problem getting there, john welcomed us with a delicious coconut and made our experience the best in koh rong, breakfast was always delicious too. Thank you very much John, we will definitely come back here.
