This is a great little stay in M’Pai Bay. Lots of people flock to the bar/restaurant here for the beautiful sunset but as a guest you can get the good seats early (and enjoy your free welcome drink!) Room was spacious and despite heat still able to keep cool with the large overhead fan. The hosts, Trisha and Kristen, were both really friendly and great to chat to. Also, since our boat back to mainland wasn’t until afternoon, we were allowed to use the showers which meant we had more time to swim/snorkel.

Great location, welcoming hosts

Maybe a bit hot in the dorms

I love the Hosts I love their bar/Garden with seaview

Stayed in February 2025

The staff is super nice and helpful, and the bar is located literally at the best spot on the island (unless you really want to be on the beach). You get the most amazing morning calm and sunset view. The room itself was ok, clean, and with a fan, but I a bit expensive for what it was (it wasn't in the best conditions) - I do however think they will fix the little things that need to be fixed.

A little basic but still enjoyed our stay

Great location. Very friendly hosts.

Only 2 things: No hot water in the showers & frogs coming out of the drains everytime we showered was the only downfall really but we got on with it as best we could!

The location, the staff and views 👌🏼

There was nothing to not like here

Dragonfly was exceptional. Tashsa and Kirsten were amazing hosts. They had great info and so friendly. The garden with the sea view was amazing and you can watch the best sunset from the rocks and also has access for snorkeling. The location was brilliant, very quiet but 2 mins walk to the main streets. They have a plant based menu and some lovely cocktails plus beer etc. I will definitely be staying here again.

I would have loved to have a kettle in our room for an early morning coffee. I was allowed to get hot water in the bar area but felt a bit uncomfortable doing that (as a tress-passer :)).

We stayed at the Dragonfly Guesthouse for a couple of nights which was perfect for us to enjoy what the M'Pai Bay village has to offer - we loved wondering around the village, seeing the sunset, joining in the dumpling making classes etc. - it was fun but unfortunately the sea was too rough to do any snorkeling during our stay so we missed out on that, and we were even worried about getting stranded there, as the boats were not running due to the windy conditions but luckily it was OK the day we were due to leave. We were able to get $5pp boat to the Sunset Beach (which was beautiful) and $10pp from the Koh Rong island (even though that trip was a bit tricky and delayed because of the bad weather that day but should be fine any other time). I think it's good to stay different places for a bit and enjoy all that's there - I loved everywhere we stayed on the Koh Rong and Koh Rong Samloen islands - the Dragonfly Guesthouse had a beautiful bar area, lovely staff and was a great base to enjoy the M'Pai Bay Village (but not so great for beaches or swimming).

Nothing we loved everything!! but if we had to scrape one it was probably the no wifi but it’s island life and that’s what you go for a relaxation. There is a few bars in mpai including next door with wifi so it’s fine💕💕

Absolutely loved staying at dragonfly guesthouse it was an excellent experience from start to finish💕 we turned up and the was greeted by the lovely ladies and they offered us a complimentary drink on arrival which was great, they then showed us too our room which was may I add such a great value for money, so spacious, clean and colourful.💕the bar area was amazing with unreal views and the food ! Wow! The food! The hummus is to die for and as a chef I can say they are the best spring rolls I have ever tasted ever!!😋💕Thankyou so much Kirsten and Tasha we will be back!!🥰

Stay here if you want the feeling of being in a rustic fishing village. Staff are all lovely and very interesting. The homestay is so rustic and has a lot of charm (it’s a traditional Khmer style house).

Great location. Great facilities. Natasha, the owner, is the sweetest. Would def stay again

My stay at the Dragonfly was simply amazing! I loved the place - especially the wooden platforms just above the sea where you could easily spend your whole day just relaxing, enjoying some good drinks or nice veggie food. Christine and Tasha are super lovely people. They made me feel at home for the time I was there and I learned a lot about the island live talking to them. Loved it! I’m coming back :)

This review has been hidden because it doesn't meet our guidelines.

The lack of airconditioning was something we had to get used to in the beginning, but thanks to the fan in the room and the ocean breeze, it was alright.

Very lovely and welcoming hosts who were always happy to answer our questions or chat. They made us feel at home, gave us interesting insights into the local community on the island, and gave the best tips for local restaurants. M’Pai Bay turned out to be a walhalla for foodies, with some must-try restaurants!!! We had some of the most amazing food here. If you want to experience the true charm of this village and eat in all the superb local restaurants, I definitely recommend staying in M’Pai Bay. You can visit the other beaches of the island easily via taxi boat (5$ pp). Dragonfly Guesthouse has a nice bar and lounge area where you can chill with ocean views, and their restaurant with vegan food is amazing. The room was according to the description, with nice decorations and a private bathroom and balcony. It was a peaceful place to stay.

If you look for a nice place to enjoy the island, you are here right. The owner is one of the kindest person I met during my travel in South East Asia. The location is incredible for sunset, a few meters away from the center, very practical but quiet. I really loved my stay there and 100% recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a beautiful and genuine moment in Kong Rong Samloen. Thank you so much for everything!

I had the most pleasant time staying there and hanging out in the bar, and snorkeling everyday! Very welcoming and great sunset views

First of all, the location of this guesthouse is really exceptional, you'll find the most beautiful garden where you can watch the sunset and sip some excellent juices (big up to the banana and peanut butter smoothie 😋). We ate there one evening and the food was all excellent. We came for a short break on a island after a three month trip, we extended our stay by three more nights (and it wasn't enough) because we felt so good there, our hosts were so kind... we felt at home as soon as we arrived. This island has a magical energy and Tasha and Christen make this place even more magical, thanks to their welcome and their kindness.

Nothing

I stayed in a hostel just up the road and had a terrible night's sleep so walked down the road to find a better alternative. I stopped in to get the amazing peanut butter and banana smoothie and started talking to Tash... the next thing you know... I've booked to stay for a week. It is the perfect vibe, with an amazing menu, amazing cocktails, incredible people and even the locals go there for happy hour! I loved it so much, I didn't even bother going to Koh Rong because it was absolute paradise! Tash was the best host I've ever had and I miss her already ❤️❤️❤️

Perfect place to chill and enjoy the view from sea and the sunset on the cliff I’ll definitely come back!

Toilet roll wasn’t stocked up enough. No wifi.

The room was spacious with a big bed. Provided fans for everyone and mosquito repellent incense. The staff were very friendly and helpful, offered to book our bus for us the view from the bar was lovely, with snorkelling opportunity just below. Great location, just a short walk to the bay.
