    You’ll end up extending your stay! The island is beautiful, peaceful and super relaxing. The hostel has probably the best view of the sunset and just a short walk down the stone steps to a private snorkelling point. It’s paradise!

    There was an error with a room. We booked a room with two beds, but three of my friends ended up share one bed.

    If your worried about security this probably isn’t the place for you. The dorms are off the road with no doors or anything. Very open style living. My mosquito net had some small holes in it. The hike(short walk) up the hill from the pier is hot work 😅

    Stunning chill out area and view, comfy bed, good amount of toilets and showers. The sunset view is stunning. Quiet at night. Great for meeting new people. Cool snorkeling just off the place

    Cozy and on an actual cliff

    Some of the floorboards seem dangerously loose and the seating cushions on the common space could also use a deep clean.

    The Cliff Hostel lives up to its name and more. Both the lodging and bar area sit high up on M'Pai Bay with the common space right on an actual cliff. The setting and nature inspired rustic architecture makes for an extremely cozy place to meet people, have dinner, and watch the sun set. We had a lovely time during our short stay. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Please note, the private rooms are bare bones. Don't expect AC, warm water, or a sink. This is a true backpacker hostel.

    The rooms are very simple (they have no walls, just courtains), the bathroom is so-so. It is very hot in the night. I got bitten by the bed bugs.

    It’s a great location. The bar at the cliff is magical. And the snorkeling!

    About 10 beds In a dorm with just a fly net for privacy. Can’t complain for the price though.

    This is a very chill vibe. Lots of places to sit and relax. Can climb down some rocks to go for a swim or snorkel. Close to town.

    there many beds in the room, so may be lot of noise according the people with who you share the room.

    the accommodation is well located, the view of the bar is beautiful. we have lucky because the persons with who Share the room were calm and quiet. It may not always be the case

    Food is tasty but a bit pricey. We were let down by our room as there were lots of ants and a suspected rat..! Do not keep any food waste in your room as it will be all over the floor in the morning.

    Amazing views and location. Staff were super helpful and took us to see the bioluminescent plankton! You can rent snorkel and get cheap cocktails. Great communal area.

    Unfortunately, a new resort is being built just beside The Cliff so the road is currently muddy and the sunset views are cut off by the new building. I build my own organic homes so I appreciate outside the box construction but the steps going up to the private rooms are a bit dangerous - curvy steps with big gaps and flimsy rails. Be careful, especially if you have had a few drinks!

    I stayed in a private room and the room, restaurant and staff are all fine. Vibe is good with lots of interesting guests.

    No wifi in the rooms only in the bar.

    The bar is in a great spot with views towards Koh Rong. A great place for snorkelling at the bottom of the steps from the bar with loads of fish and coral.

    There where some construction around that pretty much destroyed the atmosphere for some time at the day and in the moring there were alot of noice. Dorm beds no privacy (normal I guess) but also at the whole place. But this is critic in a high level. This place is amazing I can just recommend it!

    The place is wonderful, perfect view easy to reach the see and with 10 min walk down the hill the beach. Snorkling is very cheap there and also the dorm is very cheap. Perfect for staying there some days.
