Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

NetherlandsNothing!
Everything was amazing at Retro Kampot Guesthouse. The location is great, the room was perfectly clean, very cosy and comfortable. Monica was the absolute best host! She made us try traditional khmer food we could use the kayak on the river and rent scooters. It was the best part of our trip.

ItalyThat rating scales go only up to 10.
Absolutely everything! Monika and her family are just amazingly kind and welcoming, the whole place is incredible, food was delicious for a fair price and the free kayaking was a welcomed plus. The vibe is really chilled and the nature out there is lush and vibrant. It is hands down the best place I've stayed in Cambodia and really felt like a home away from home. I miss it already.

The bungalows are right on the river, which is lovely. The bungalows are basic but clean, and Monika, the owner, is maybe the most loveliest person we have ever met. All the staff were so accommodating.

IrelandWe loved everything.
My friend & I stayed here for two nights as, after a month traveling, we wanted some peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle. That is what we got too. We stayed in our own 2 person hut with a little balcony that had comfortable seats and a hammock, ideal for relaxing; almost read my entire book! We went kayaking one day, following the Green Cathedral trail. The kayaks were provided free of charge by the accommodation. They brought us fresh fruit and cold water every time we appeared in the common area which was equally as colorful. Their hospitality was wholesome, welcoming and extremely helpful, especially when we needed to organize transport to our next destination. I cannot fault this place. I would strongly recommend a stay.

AustraliaI liked everything
Location by the river is beautiful, it’s quiet and tranquil and very homely. The river front family bungalow is an absolute gem, I booked it as a solo traveler and had the most relaxing private stay. The food and staff are all fantastic too. Kayaking was a highlight. And the taxi driver Ree gave a wonderful day tour to the pepper farms and other attractions. I highly recommend staying here and booking the taxi service with Ree via the guest house.

ItalyBy far the best stay in 2 months of traveling. The bungalow is very clean and everything smell great! Even the mosquito net has an incredible smell! The place is quiet and relaxing, perfect for chilling or working. The food they cook is amazing and very very fresh. But the best thing is Monica and her team and family! They are incredibly kind and ready to help, their welcome was amazing, offering us fresh fruit and water as soon as we arrived. Talking to Monica and getting to know her a bit has been such an inspiration for us. And they offer free water refill, which is very rare! Everything was great and I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for quiet and coziness. Other positive notes: they have motorbikes to rent and they offer free kayak tour in the amazingly beautiful green cathedral. Don’t miss it!

United KingdomI really cannot fault this place EXCEPT(!!) the room we had, had an A/C and it was quite dirty ... It didn't smell bad thankfully but that's really the only thing I would say.
Wow, first I'd like to say that this place is really my kind of place. It's extremely comfortable and relaxing. The big open restaurant/common area is the best part of this guesthouse. It's lovely to eat there but also feels comfortable to read a book or chat with a friend. The staff are so lovely, so attentive, they always brought us all a glass of water and some fresh homegrown mango to snack on. The food was really tasty and well priced. We rented a bungalow which was amazing. My parents, who were a little out of their comfort zone with this guesthouse, adored the bungalow and slept and felt amazing with fans and other amenities. Our room was upstairs where we had acces to a lovely airy balcony for chilling or reading a book. We also took advantage of the free kayaking which takes you along the little river beside the guesthouse. this was a fun experience although we only did it for a short while . The staff were really lovely 😍 they gave us lots of mangoes and a pineapple from their garden to take home.

FranceI highly recommend staying at Retro Kampot Guesthouse for anyone visiting Kampot. The rooms are very comfortable and well decorated and the common areas are amazing. Most of all, the staff is very nice and caring, offering excellent fruits at every occasion. The location is great (around 1.5$ tuktuk ride from the center) and offers a variety of options such as free kayak to see the mangrove. We loved our stay!

NetherlandsWe had the most wonderful stay at Retro Kampot Guesthouse. When we relaxed in the common area we were constantly gifted bowls of fresh fruit and cold water. We did our laundry here, and it came back very clean. We also rented a motorbike for a day ($6) and ate here multiple times. The room itself was clean and comfortable with great airconditioning and a nice private terrace. We shared a bathroom with one other room, this was no issue at all. The location of the Homestay is nice and quiet, about a 10-15 minute drive from Kampot centre, which we thought was great. You definitely won’t find a place this nice anywhere else!

CambodiaVery few complaints to be had. Perhaps just that the rooms could use brighter lighting, and didnt have a mini-fridge. Also the mirror wasn't placed on the sink, but outside the bathroom itself, which was a little odd.
The old school styled rooms are spotless, and decorated with great taste. It also smelled super nice, and had a great AC (I was in an apartment with private toilet room). The team was amazing. Kind, sweet, welcoming. Honestly, amazing crew.

GreeceThe best place we stayed during our trip to Cambodia. The place is fantastic, near the river. The rooms are wonderful, clean and give you an overall chill and natural vibe. The common area is very nice to chill and have food, a coffee, read a book or play a game. Morning breakfast by the river will be the most unforgettable memory from Cambodia! The food in the restaurant was really amazing, with many complementary fruit salads with our morning coffee. Wonderful people and especially Monika,who was always keen to help us and give us any kind information and help. Definitely choose this place for your stay if you are in Kampot. If not, just pay a visit for an afternoon coffee or a dinner!

United KingdomWould highly recommend Retro Kampot Guesthouse for anyone looking to visit Kampot. Great location - about 10 minute drive into town centre & grabs readily available; right on the river which was amazing for free kayaking opportunities from the guesthouse. The food in restaurant is amazing, we ate on several occasions and everything was delicious. After our first night we actually extended our stay because the vibes were great - really nice chill out area there too. The staff went above and beyond and were so lovely. One of our party fell ill and we can’t thank Monika and her team enough for their kindness. Thankyou again for having us - excellent value for money.

GermanyThe staff was very helpful and friendly. The food was delicious. The kayaks were also included, so you can do a tour on the kampot River on your own which is very nice and relaxing, sadly a looot of rubbish everywhere in the river. The Bungalow itself was quite comfortable with some decoration like old pictures on the wall, it had 2 vans in the inside and one outside on the little terrace - perfectly placed opposite of the hammock where you can have a fresh fruit salad or a beer. The service was also very good, they brought us every evening some free snacks like fruit salad or cashews to the Bungalow. They do take care about their guests. The bed was okay to sleep in and the bathroom has everything you need, a shower, a toilet and a bum 🔫. Nothing luxurious but absolutely fine. All over a great place with very friendly owners and staff.
