    You’re on an island so the mosquitoes can be a bit pesky. Wear mosquito repellent (even at night/while sleeping)

    Great location and super friendly staff! They have a free water refill station, which I really appreciated.

    Ground floor is full concrete and even daytime it is needed to put light on just to see enough in the room. Long enough cables needed to recharge since the sockets are placed high. In the ground floor noise enters from every direction. Seemed like the second floor rooms are more lit and cozy with wooden floor, maybe less noise too :)

    Friendly staff with useful advice about the surroundings. Attached restaurant has tasty alternatives for Khmer food. Shared second floor balcony was great. Free earplugs for the noise. Clean bathrooms. Cat was cute.

    Shared bathroom wasn’t the greatest - lots of mosquitoes and not very clean. Owners didn’t seem to ever be there and took a day off without informing us. Would’ve been helpful to know that nothing would be open including restaurants etc! (think this was due to a wedding which closed off the whole of M’py bay).

    Great location and provide free filtered tap water. Nice good especially the dumplings!

    Not the cleanest, I didn’t see the bathrooms being cleaned during our stay at all and the fan in our room was dirty (makes the air quality worse). Only cold water in the shower (didn’t bother us). Construction work/ reno still ongoing and all the materials everywhere in the common areas - will look good when they slowly get the job done. Some sounds from the streets in the evening and morning (rooster) but quiet at night.

    Good and comfortable bed with clean sheets, efficient and well-positioned fan, proper mosquito net, enough space for hanging wet towels and swimwear after beachlife. Common areas will look good after they are finished and we also stayed there to play some games etc and were able to have our own food and drinks as well (hope it stays that way = budget option). Free filtered drinking water (hope it stays that way too). Helpful owners and lovely cat!

    - when it rains heavily outside, some water drops gets into the room (specially the bed). As it was raining when we were there we would wake up in the middle of the night with water in our face - there’s no hot water - you cannot wear shoes upstairs, however there was sand in the upstairs floor as well as a little poop in the middle of the corridor (it wasn’t cleaned for the duration of our stay)

    Pretty close to the beach and the bed was comfortable. Mosquito net provided. Early check in was provided which was nice and kettle as well so that we could do coffee in the morning

    Mayla and Ian have made a great place here. We had a room on the ground floor which was really nice. We loved Bruno (the cat) and all the advice and activities they recommended to us. One thing you have to do is mayla’s dumpling making class it’s amazing. Also eat there every night if you wish (I wish I had). Amazing stay would definitely book here again.

    Everything was perfect, was devastated when we had to leave

    Great facilities, incredible location and the friendliness staff and people, even a very lovely cat called Bruno, comfortable beds with mosquito nets and good food!! We rented kayaks from one of the shops by the beach and spent a day on the small island opposite and another day we went on a beautiful walk across the island to another remote beach, seeing hornbills and monkeys! I can not wait to come back

    Shared toilets were very dirty and there was no hot water. I'm pretty sure in the 4 days of my stay they were never cleaned. You could hear everything, every noise and smell from the house, the restaurant and the street,but of course this is not the owners fault and earplugs were provided.

    Nice shared balcony where you can sit and hang your clothes.

    The host is lovely and sweet! The rooms are very clean, they come with a fluffy towel and a nice sheet. It's a short walk down to the pier and beach. I thought the mosquito net worked great and didn't get any bites in the night. Would love to stay again!
