Bad smell, poor maintenance, location 20 minutes away from the main street

Nestival

Stayed in June 2025

The facilities were quite bad with dirty, worn down bathrooms. If you’re like me and don’t mind it’s fine, but just know that Onederz has amazing facilities for half the price. For me the thing that put me off is I found a lot of the staff (not all - some were super nice!) to be very rude. Maybe they are all worn out from constantly having to do Nestivals? Regardless, a lot of the time I felt unwelcome and like a burden…

Nice location on the beach and close to the town. Good atmosphere & the Nestival was very fun! Also massive beds in dorm 1 & 2!! Good restaurant as well.

They offered me a pick up service from the boat, but no one ever arrived, on Saturdays they have a party that I was not aware of and the reception guy told me that was more important, the bed was fine and it was big but they gave me one that was already used so I had to look for a free one, the bathrooms were disgusting and even worse than that

The bed, it’s good one.

Not the best bathroom and not super clean, location can be very hard to reach depending on the tides

Staff are English speakers (all foreigners), nice bar and restaurants, activities every night

Stayed in January 2025

Very rude member of staff behind the bar who was passive aggressive probably took too much drugs and drank to much the night before other than this one that should be fired everyone else was okay and friendly

The party vibes were okay

Stayed in February 2025

It's a great place for party & other so many activities

Stayed in January 2025

The dorm was very dirty. Bathroom terrible. The mattress was all sunken.

Great location, bar with great food and drinks. Very friendly staff.

Only complaint with the bed, which had random knots and made it very uncomfortable to sleep on and led to back pain. The room could also do with a proper clean. Saw multiple cobwebs around the room. Location is on one end of Longset Beach, so that's a positive in terms of quietness and clean waters. But it also means long walk times across the beach to the pier. So choose wisely and make sure to only travel with backpacks.

The hostel was very lively throughout the day and had a host of activities going around. Never a dull moment at the place. The staff were very helpful and prompt in service. They also helped us book bus tickets to Kampot at the hostel, which smoothed our journey, and also booked a day boat trip for us. The check-in instructions were also clear, and made sure to give the right directions for getting here. Food prices were cheaper compared to other places on the island, and they were made very well. Drinks and cocktails were quite good as well. Didn't face power issues once on the property (could've been lucky or the generator functioned well).

The dorms need some TLC. No aircon, just a fan. The toilets in the dorms were very dirty. Stains on the seats and mould.

Great for Nestival. Staff really friendly and the beds comfy.

Stayed in December 2024

As much as I liked Nestival, the dorms were not my favorite. The mattered was on an aluminum sheet so it was making so much noise with every move. The WiFi and signal was not working in the dorms. The cleanliness could be improved.

Nestival! Great initiative and vibes. Loved the beach stage and complimentary vest! Hammocks, bar and restaurant. Next to the jungle. 10 minutes walk to the village, 15 minutes to the main beach and other social hostels.

Stayed in December 2024

Toilets in dorms were shoddy and not very clean so that could be improved. Bit pricey for what you actually get as far as hostels go but overall an ok experience :)

Staff very friendly and helpful Beds were very comfy and spacious

Stayed in November 2024

Don’t take 100 reil notes, music pumping constantly and have to wait for them to open at like 9am for breakfast. Bed sheets smelt so bad and bathrooms weren’t the nicest.

Beautiful calm location, basic amenities, free beer from time to time. Lots of things going on.

Stayed in October 2024

Getting there was very difficult on the roads, leading up to the hostel the roads are terrible and then walking down do the property through the jungle was difficult (granted it’s a short walk) but there is also litter and rubbish everywhere. That wasn’t a big issue but not what I expected. I booked a room with “private balcony and garden view”- there was a shared balcony with other other people in the rooms around you and it wasn’t a pleasant balcony to sit or anything just a bit of concrete at the top of the stairs, and the garden view was just more jungle with loads of litter and rubbish, not really a view at all

Bar and restaurant were right on the beach, it was beautiful and quiet. The food was delicious and staff were very helpful. I had an issue with my door lock and they sorted it out immediately. We stayed Monday-Tuesday so it was pretty empty but I’ve heard that if you go Thursday-Sunday it’s gets busy and is a good party vibe

Stayed in September 2024

Nice staff

Stayed in September 2024

It could be a little bit cleaner, the showers in dorm 1 and 2 werent that clean

beds were big and nice people there. Staff was friendly and food was a bit expensive but really good. The partys were great and its super good to meet new people

Stayed in April 2024

Stayed in a private dorm room and it was lovely, great location, our room was lovely and clean & the restaurant food was okay too! They also ran a boat trip which was lots of fun and reasonably priced

Stayed in July 2024

Some staff were a little intimidating but friendly when you spoke to them. The towels smelt a little damp and floor was unswept in our room.

Nice room and right on the beach which is amazing. Really good food and they offered boat tours and activities

Stayed in June 2024

Food wasn't good Isolated location during rainy season as path usually flooded No comfy seats at bar area Dogs peeing and playing on the beanbags at the beach

Activities were offered everyday Right on the beach Cheap drinks Friendly dogs

Stayed in June 2024

Only thing I didn’t like is that there is no wifi in the bedrooms, only at reception and there is no service anywhere. But that’s okay as I didn’t spend much time in the room anyway

Went for nestival and loved it. The beds were double beds and clean rooms. The only thing is the toilets get blocked up during nestival as so many people are using them. If you go not during nestival I can imagine it is super clean

Stayed in June 2024

Some unfriendly staff, bathroom showers etc are too small and dirty.

Open, spacious location

Stayed in May 2024

Everything's always covered in sand but you kind of have to accept that. Food from restaurant was ok; portions just about ok for the price and veggie stuff isn't great but it's fine, drinks are good. Worth walking 15 mins to the pier area for more food options if you can be bothered but if not the restaurant is fine. Quite busy and chaotic at times, defo not the place to chill out, although there are hammocks and places further down the beach to relax if you want to escape.

Very social/party vibes. The WiFi is only in the restaurant but is pretty good when it works. Bathrooms are fine. Beach is really stunning. Lots of social events every night. Overall it's pretty good for a few nights but I think it's worth splitting a stay in Koh Rong between somewhere like here and a quieter place on a different side of the island (recommend Lonely Beach) to make the most of staying here.

I paid for aircon room but sadly didn't reach my bed

Such a good outside area very social and awesome workers!

Stayed in May 2024

Could be a small bit cleaner in the dorms but generally that’s to be expected from a hostel on the beach.

Great location. Good vibes. A lot of night time activities.

Stayed in April 2024

If you’re planning on staying at Nest, please be aware that this is a PARTY HOSTEL and nothing else. Rooms and especially bathrooms were as disgusting as expected. We haven’t had water for 2 days straight, so you can imagine the bathroom situation after people got drunk and partied the entire night. Don’t go if your main reason is not to party. Otherwise, prepare yourself for lack of comfort but an amazing time with great people.

Parties and people were really great. Location is absolutely beautiful as it’s right on the beach. Overall I had a lot of fun during my stay (3 nights incl. Nestival).
