Reviews of Sleeping Trees

The setting is beautiful and the beach is very quiet and remote. The room was comfortable and spacious and the outdoor seating area was lovely. The part of the beach that Sleeping Trees is on is particularly lovely and access to the sea is great. There are lots of hammocks under the shade of trees for lazing around and passing the time.

The walk to the beach is quite tricky towards the end and this should be more clear. While I was there it was not possible to get a taxi boat as the sea was too rough, so that could be a real issue for some and this is not entirely clear. It is a strenuous walk! Sadly, while I was there, there was a constant battle to clear the beach of plastic washed onto the shore. It was quite depressing to see. I don't know if this is a constant problem or due to sea conditions. WiFi was very patchy. Whilst this was actually quite good as it me switch off more, it is not mentioned in the description. Food and drinks all along the beach are quite pricy.

Beautiful beach, special experience waking up and having the sea a few footsteps away from tent. Comfy tents on the whole. Food at the restaurant is good.

We stayed at Sleeping Trees on Sunset Beach, Koh Rong Sanloem, and absolutely loved it! Originally we planned to stay just one night, but ended up staying three—and we’re so glad we did. This place is incredibly peaceful and beautiful, the perfect spot to unwind and disconnect. Getting there is part of the adventure: you hike for about half an hour through the jungle, and arriving at Sleeping Trees feels like a true reward after the trek. The beach, the atmosphere—it’s all worth it. The owner is super friendly and flexible, which made us feel right at home. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the whole place has a really relaxed, welcoming vibe. We enjoyed some delicious food during our stay—especially the fresh pizza baked in their clay oven. It’s amazing what they can do in such a remote setting! Plus, the price includes lots of thoughtful extras like free water refills and free use of snorkeling gear, which made exploring the beach even more fun. Every evening we were treated to absolutely stunning sunsets right from the beach. We highly recommend staying multiple nights to fully soak up the tranquility and magic of this place. A true hidden gem!

The beach is beautiful. It was very quiet which is exactly what we wanted. On the beach the it felt airy and pleasant. The staff were polite and helpful. The activities nearby are great - bioluminescent plankton was an exceptional experience.

The bungalows are set slightly back (can still see the beach) and there it is still, humid and airless and with only a small solar battery fan it is not comfortable to sleep. Cleaning and decor is a bit tired. Quite a lot of plastic rubbish washed up on the beach. Prices for food etc on the island are a lot higher than elsewhere. Mosquitoes and cockroaches are about.

Amazing beachside location. Great food at the restaurant. Slightly higher prices but that's expected at a tourist spot on an island. Free water refill station was much appreciated

Rooms were quite hot, even at night

The Sleeping Trees is the perfect option if you want to relax, book the tent if you want your own little private beach. We loved the food, the pizza and the barbeque nights, and the crepes! The terrace, the bungalows, everything looks very good and staff is very friendly and helpful!

The most amazing location on sunset beach! So happy we found this place. We stayed in one of the teepees right by the sea and it was incredible waking up to those views.

Nothing! Just bring ear plugs if you have a teepee right on the front!

We had a tent right on the beach, which was really amazing. The price is a bit steep but definitely worth it.

The food was okay we liked the other places on the beach better ;)

Fantastic location!! Very affordable for the experience and lovely staff.

Hot bunk bed rooms even with portable fans, would be great to have some more mosquito proofing in the rooms (the mesh above the door was fully caved in on our room so all bugs got in) - sadly we were bitten to death even with the net

True paradise on earth. Couldn’t ask for a more peaceful and relaxing location and facilities. The staff always available to help but totally hands off and really allow you to feel at home. Food was really good, little more expensive than the mainland but for the location very understandable and absolutely good value for the price. The water is beautiful and the snorkeling off the north and south and of the beach is wonderful (especially the north end).

Nothing

The location is fantastic, this side of the beach is much nicer than Saracen bay. The walk in the jungle is worth the difficulty. The food was great. All together a very relaxing place to enjoy the sea

Had an issue with the room and the guys were very proactive in resolving despite the late hour. Place is very chilled with loads of spots to relax in the day by the beach and good quality food from restaurant. Would stay again

Sleeping Tree is an excellent place on sunset beach, the tents right next on the beach are gorgeous. the matress in the tent was impeccable, the tent itself ample. It is maybe the best place on the whole beach, the area is spacious, rather quiet and with a nice covered restaurant, a pool table and clean, hot showers.

we were not too excited about the french staff, which did their job more like a duty than a pleasure. We also found that other food options on the beach were better.

Sunset beach is amazingly beautiful! We probably didn't get lucky with moskito nets in the dormitories then the spare tent filled with holes. Staff could be a little bit more engaging even if you don't spent extra money.

Beautiful place to stay on Sunset Beach! We stayed in the Teepees and loved it. The best food on the beach and we loved pizza night and bbq night. Would highly recommend!

Nothing!

Wonderful place to stay on sunset beach. Clam and peaceful area.

Take care of the kitchen timing. It is not open all day long.

Actual Paraside, rooms are basic but it’s expected with the location. The guys are all so friendly and the food is fantastic with good portion sizes at the going island price. 35 min walk to get here but it’s not that difficult if you wear actual shoes.

Came here for a night because I wanted to go climbing at the beach. I would like to give a good review but this would only attract more of you travelers. So out of fear that this absolutely non-magical place (sarcasm) would become overrun, I will refrain from commenting.

I think if you really have to come, you should inform yourself on how to get there.... Surefootedness and good shoes are required. I actually liked the hike, just figured it would fit here better.

The location is a paradise. The staff were wonderful and there are a number of activities to occupy yourself with.

Getting there is a steep hike through the jungle but that's okay as the location is worth it. I encourage you to leave big bags at Sunny Bungalows which the staff at Sleeping Trees suggested as well. We had to take cold showers but again, in the island lifestyle this was also okay for me.

We had the most amazing time here - the location is magical. We stayed in a tipi tent which had the most epic sea view. The communal outdoor spaces (pool table, etc) was everything we needed and everyone was so lovely! The food was great (especially the BBQ and Pizza nights) Honestly, we were sad to be leaving!

The location Our comfortable tent was ON the most beautiful beach of the island, only steps away from the ocean. Well maintained place, the staff has eye for detail. Lots of trees (shades). Very easy going and kind staff. Excellent food!

Food/drinks a bit pricey for Cambodian standards (but not for European ones) and don't forget, it is an island, so everything has to be hand-carried in from the mainland, so prices overall fair.
