We had a wonderful stay! The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect for exploring the area. Great value for the price. We would definitely come back

Before our arrival, there was no communication from the manager, which left us a bit unsure. We missed the last ferry and ended up missing our first night, so I tried calling, messaging on WhatsApp, and reaching out through Booking.com – just to let them know we were still coming and to make sure our room wouldn’t be given away. I never got a response. Even a simple “OK” would’ve helped. Thankfully, they did hold our room and everything worked out in the end.

Staying at Lonely Beach was like stepping back in time—exactly how I imagine traveling through Asian countries must have felt before tourism really took off. It was a bit of an adventure just getting there. :) But that's how we like it. :) The accommodation is very basic—bucket showers and a few little “creepy” visitors included—but that’s all part of the charm of staying close to the jungle. We booked a cottage with a private bathroom, and it was totally fine. There’s no fan, but if you leave the windows open wide, the fresh sea breeze keeps the room surprisingly cool and comfortable during nights. We honestly wished we had booked more than two nights. Because what you get in return is absolutely worth it: untouched nature, total peace, and the feeling of having your own private beach. No crowds, no cars, no boatloads of tourists. Just you, the palm trees, and the sound of the waves, and cute little dogs everywhere. One more thing. You’ll experience some of the best sunsets ever, which makes it hard to leave the beach before it gets dark. At night, the glowing bioluminescent plankton was pure magic. I highly recommend jumping in after dark to see it sparkle around you—an unforgettable experience. To get there, you either rent a motorbike or take a tuk-tuk (around $15) to the last village, Preaek Svay. The road follows a river and ends at a wooden bridge (not possible to cross with a car or tuk-tuk, only a motorbike)—otherwise, from there, It’s about a 30-minute walk, partly through the jungle and partly under the direct sun. That little extra effort might scare some people off… But for those of us who love doing things the hard (and rewarding) way, it’s perfect.

We really loved our stay at lonely beach. It’s a great way to flee from the big city life. The owner is really welcoming and friendly and made our stay incredible. Some of the bungalows are located directly in the jungle. It’s definitely a nice opportunity for people who want to experience the slow life in the bushes. An eco friendly way of living while enjoying beautiful beaches/ coralls at the same time:)

I had a wonderful time at Lonely Beach. The bungalows were rather basic, but I really appreciated the DIY aspect of everything—even the gym! Beautiful location in the jungle by the beach, with a coral reef nearby for snorkeling. A perfect place to connect with nature.

Location. The beach was perfect, palm fringed, clean, undeveloped. The palm trees created lots of natural coves which gave privacy. Lots of hammocks and clear, flat water. Excellent cocktails and food.

I’ve been traveling for 2 months - this has been my favorite place! I’ll never forget the experience and will return someday!

Affordable, simple beach huts in an exposed location! The beach is clean, and the water is extremely clear. Facilities are very basic, appropriate for the price. The entire property could be tidier.

We had a lovely stay at Lonely Beach, beautiful off grid beach and surroundings, nice people, and good food.

Stayed in March 2025

It is a bit of an adventure to get there, travel light on the scooter. Also the host prefers for guest to leave their scooters at a parking spot 5/10 min walk from the stay. The food could be improved for the price.

Great place and beach if you are looking for minimal and basic experience. Beautiful beach and great host

I liked everything! But if you want to learn more about Lonely Beach and other great spots on Koh Rong, be sure to check out my article: https://open.substack.com/pub/travelacademy/p/where-to-stay-on-koh-rong-island?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=3emw1e

Don't even think about skipping this place while you're on Koh Rong, this is a must for everybody visiting the island. We stayed in the cheapest bungalow and it was super comfy, shared bathrooms were amazing, the food in the restaurant was great, and the beach itself was divine. There is great snorkeling at the end of the beach and plankton is everywhere during the night. There's also a little gym and a slackline for those who like. The staff is super friendly as well as the owner. Thank you for everything!

Rustic and unique.

The location is amazing. You are staying in a little bungalow hut, with the sea nearby. Its perfect for relaxing in a basic environment. The whole place runs on solar electricity. Showers are with a cold bucket of water, and the bungalows can get hot during the night as there is no airco. I stayed for a few nights and came back absolutely super relaxed, exactly what I needed. The food is maybe a little bit more pricy than I would have expected, but the quality is superb and there are a lot of veggie/vegan choices. The main meals are pretty big, I often shared one with two people.

The huts need a bit more love and care .

An amaizing remote place with stunning sunsets and beautiful nature!

Fantastic stay here at Lonely Beach. Completely taken back to basics with Denny’s (the host) approach to the place, very refreshing to see. Comfortable bed, super relaxing, food amazing, helpful staff and all round superb stay. Thanks Denny

- tricky to access - road in the end was very bumpy - I would probably sent someone 2-3x per day along the beach to collect plastic waste. Quite a few plastic visible.

+ puristic and remote Resort in the north of Koh Rong + Bungalow 50m behind the beach + hear the waves during night + sustainability oriented company + friendly supportive host + amazing food

Such a special place with the most amazing beach and relaxed atmosphere! Back to basics with no wifi and running water but this was no issue at all, it made the experience more relaxing and fun.

A bit difficult to get there but was worth it

Such a great environment, in the most wonderful place, good food, swimming in bioluminescent plankton every night was incredible, and friendly staff. Made a lot of friends I will definitely come back!

The beds could be a little more comfortable, sometimes the dogs are scary

Everything was great—the location is secluded, the beach is clean and not too crowded, and Danny is an excellent host who takes great care of his guests. The food and drinks are also top-notch. Since other food options are a bit farther away, the quality of the food was especially important, and it did not disappoint—it was amazing. It's a perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle. Additionally, if you enjoy walking, you can explore other beaches, bars, and discover many other beautiful spots.
