    Soap is not provided but is for sale at reception for a reasonable price.

    One of my favourite hotels on this trip and comfortably the best I stayed in Cambodia. A great chilled out vibe, could have stayed for months, in fact some people do. The upstairs bar does themed nights and the social atmosphere is great. Very friendly staff and an almost faultless hostel.

    I like the very informal vibe - check the offer above fridge at the bar, we saw it too late, just before check out )) everything was very cheap but good quality, and beds are comfortable.

    For me the music in the bar was a touch loud in the evening but it didn’t go on late (and I am an older backpacker!).

    Good hostel in a good location for town and river activities. Staff are welcoming and helpful and the rooftop bar has good food and nice vibe. Big room.

    Better to have a bike to explore the city and areas around, but that's applicable to Kampot in general

    Great place, really easy to meet people at the bar and the pool! The dorms were clean, nice and we were equipped with a per dorm toilet shower :)

    This is a tricky one to review as I stayed in 3 different accomodation options here and two were great, while one was terrible. 4 bed dorms in the main building and private rooms are lovely and comfortable, but the 5 bed shipping containers are awful (worst hostel experience I had over 4 months in Asia). Staff however are great and the upstairs restaurant is also a good space for socialising.

    Lovely hostel, pod style dorm rooms very good. Very friendly helpful staff. Good happy hour and range of entertainment on evenings. Good food. Cute cat and dog! Scooter rental directly from hostel was helpful with it being slightly out of the centre.

    Some hooks or a bar around the beds to hang up clothes/towels would be very helpful

    The pod style dorm beds were very comfortable and offered a lot of privacy. The rooftop bar was a highlight, the food good and the staff very friendly and helpful

    Really cool hostel with a hippy vibe. The pool area has a bar with some proper chilled music playing from midday onwards. Staff were super friendly and plenty of themed food nights and live music upstairs on the roof terrace. Would 100% come back for another few nights stay

    I did think that the pool was pretty small - not enough room to exercise in (which was a significant reason why I booked here)

    TBH I wasn't there long enough to gain a full impression

    The water in the shower was fairly cool, but given the temperature outside this wasn't a problem for us. Those who like red hot showers may find it a bit cold. This is a very small bit of feedback rather than a criticism as this place is genuinely amazing :)

    We had a fantastic stay at Karma Traders - it is by far and away our favourite place we have stayed whilst travelling throughout SE Asia over the past 3 months. The hostel has gone to SO much effort to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. The welcome when you arrive was so genuine, it's clear the staff here are well looked after and enjoy working there. The foyer is full of awesome information about the local area, places to eat and drink (they are not just trying to suggest you eat and drink there). We stayed in a private room which was huge. The beds are a little hard, but that's par for the course in SE Asia we have found. There is a lovely pool area always playing nice tunes. The best part of the hostel though is the rooftop area. They also pay amazing tunes up there and serve really delicious food and drinks. Prices are incredibly reasonable and there is loads of local and Western options. They also have a taco night on Tuesday which we really enjoyed - they had an Australian band playing that evening, some very interesting tribal Aboriginal sounds. Super! We could easily have stayed longer at this hotel. We met some nice guys also staying there, and we got to know some staff members and the owner well in three days. Do yourself a favour and book here. It's a fab place, and Kampot in general is also fantastic.

    Bed was a little lumpy and a bit uncomfortable.

    We had a private room with own bathroom in one of the villas. The pool and bar/restaurant on roof top was great. The staff were friendly and helpful. The day trips organised through hostel are great - we did countryside tour with caves, pepper farm + visit to Kep ( ate fresh seafood at crab market! Delicious). Meals were great at hostel and reasonable prices. All ages were seen at this hostel. Thank you.
