Great staff. Very secluded. Long walk on beach from ferry or short boat ride. Both options easy enough without luggage. Boat ride easier with luggage. Breakfast was good. Dining options in restaurant were good as well.

We enjoyed our stay here for 5 nights. We stayed in the standard studio room and it was super clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. There's no AC but the ceiling fan works just fine for cooling you down! Loved the dogs Tommy & Kenzo, they were so friendly and good protectors from the monkeys - if you've seen reviews saying there aren't any monkeys, trust me they're wrong. We saw them daily! You're basically living right on the jungle here which is also quite cool, we loved looking for lizards and geckos on the nights. The showers are cold but it's that hot in Koh Rong Samloem, having a cold shower is refreshing and needed. Only downside is this place is a good 40-45 minute walk away from where most the restaurants are...but its all pretty much beach so it's still enjoyable. Also, big shout out to the cleaning lady Kata, she's so friendly and welcoming, we loved speaking to her every day!

What can I say, the Samloem Laguna Resort delivered for me! I visited early November just as the rainy season was finishing, allowing the resort staff to prep outside areas for the upcoming season. The Samloem Laguna Resort grows on you, I stayed in one of the jungle huts (no.6) which is set back and elevated from the coastline with sea views. At night it is very peaceful with the sounds of the jungle chattering away in the background, very relaxing... The accomodation was simple but effective which is just what you want when staying in such a very relaxed location. The restaurant offered a set breakfast selection and different daily options for the evening menu. After being out all day on the Island I didn't feel the need to venture elsewhere for dinner, even as a vegetarian there was always something on the menu, the food was presented very well and tasted great, I was happy to compliment the chefs on the food. Easy to feel at home at the Bar even as a solo traveller, all staff were attentive and soon understood your likes and requirements. It's very worthwhile exploring the resorts grounds, there are lots of areas tucked away all offering something different, from the private beach to the pier to the pagoda type area on the water, which is great for breakfast, evening dining or just a coffee.. It was an emotional experience leaving the Laguna, the staff work hard to make your stay fulfilling, I'd happily return to Jungle hut No. 6 again...

Great place to relax!
The resort is located in a quiet area on the island perfectly blended the middle of the jungle, yet with beautiful sea views of the turquoise blue water. Walking distance from the main beach. Food in general food is really good and the breakfast is great (buffet-style). Rooms cleaned every day. Special thank you to Charlene (waiter) for her kindness and smile every moment. Overall great experience!

We were here in December, prices for the rooms are by far too high with regard to the quality , on the “private” beach construction works were under way, nice and and willing staff ( reception, restaurant) , but extremely slow service in the restaurant.

Like staying with friends
The whole staff was amazing helpful and nice people. The first night was my birthday they song happy birthday even brought out a cake. It made me feel welcomed and added to the experience. It’s not on the main strip of bars but a nice walk along the bay. You can get to lazy beach and the light house easily. Food was always good especially the curry. Just go out and explore the island after breakfast and come back at night to eat and drink. Would definitely recommend staying here

worst hotel staff I have ever encountered
Horrible horrible horrible horrible horrendous. The people running this place seems to be criminals. They are the rudest people I have ever encountered in my whole life. Just read other reviews and their response to any negative review to get a glimpse of understanding how bad they are. Unless you want to be insulted and going crazy on your holiday, stay away from this place. The Cambodian state should expel these people from their beautiful country.

Not worth it.
Friendly staff and really good breakfast. The location was a bit off, but there was boat shuttles going to the pier a couple of times a day. We never used them, instead we walked. The boats did not go during the evening so if you wanted to eat somewhere else than the hotel restaurant you had to walk in the dark or take a taxi boat. The room was not the best standard and it was a bit dirty. Not what I experted for the money i paid. The wifi did not work during our entire stay even though the owner said it worked, so we had problems arranging the rest of our trip.

Unlike the other Koh Rong Islands that are crowded with mostly young people there to party. This island is peaceful and quiet. It's really a place to get away from the busy world. A time to unwind and relieve stress and refocus on the things that are important. The staff are courteous, and accommodating. The food was outstanding. I had a great time. One word of advice. I had gotten there a bit late, and my water taxi had already left. There were other taxis there that could've easily called the hotel for me to call the taxi back to pick me up. But when I asked one of them, that worked for " The One Hotel ". He lied to me and said that I had to take a two hour walk with my luggage ( actually 25 minutes) and that I was stuck there. He then said that he would take us for $15 . (Actually $10) if you were to hire a private water taxi. So be informed.

First off, the location is very beautiful. A peaceful place with scenic views. If you have the panoramic rooms, you can enjoy a nice view. The Cambodian staff was very friendly and helpful to us. As was the yoga teacher and the Scottish manager. The rest of the management seemed stressed and wasn’t very helpful. When we arrived at the resort there was nobody who welcomed us, while it was clear that we were new guests, fresh off the boat with backpacks on our backs. The managers stayed at the bar and didn’t look at us. We eventually went to the ‘reception desk’ ourselves and asked to be checked in. The manager looked suprised and told us our room wasn’t ready yet. That was it. No suggestions on how we could pass our time on this remote resort. When we asked him, eventually he mumbled something about a snorkle and a beach. We decided to eat something. While eating we constantly heard managers arguing with the staff. Sometimes they were quite rude to be honest. I believe it is not appropriate, if any, desirable to yell at your staff (in front of guests). Later that day they told us their boat was broken and that it probably wouldn’t run to bring us to shore the next day. We were somewhat suprised that he didn’t offer any alternative. He just said that we had to walk to the pier. A 20 minute walk across the beach, with our luggage! Long story short, our stay was ok. Be aware that the tap water is brown (it’s an island thing) and that there is lots of construction

L'accès à l'hôtel se fait par un chemin non aménagé ok, mais il faut passer dans l'eau, sur des planches, oubliez si vous avez une valise. Vous arrivez enfin à l'hôtel, enfin au niveau d'installations qui semblent abandonnées, pas âme qui vive, on se demande où est l'accueil, l'endroit est délabré. On trouve enfin une dame tres gentille qui nous appelle le patron. Un homme antipathique au possible qui m'annonce qu'il n'y a pas d'eau chaude pour le type de chambre choisie, ce qui était soit disant écrit dans l'annonce, or c'est faux. L'hôtel n'a pas d'accès à la plage, il faut emprunter à chaque fois le chemin chaotique pour en sortir et faire quelque chose sur l'île. Je déconseille fortement cet endroit censé être 3 étoile et qui se dit en plus "resort". Nous sommes partis immédiatement et avons trouvé un autre hôtel.

Schade für die Zeit!
Ziemlich abgeschieden und schlecht erreichbar. zum Teil gefährlich und mit Koffern gar nicht erreichbar! Unter diesen Umständen müsste zumindest wie bei den anderen Resorts der bootshutle Service kostenlos sein, jedoch kostet dieser pro fahrt mit 2 Personen nochmal 5 Dollar extra! Bungalows überteuert und ohne jeglichen Komfort, lediglich ein hartes Bett mit quitschendem Ventilator! Für 100 Dollar die Nacht gibt es lediglich am ersten Tag 2 Flaschen Wasser, danach muss man zahlen, andere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gibt es in der Abgeschiedenheit nicht. Während des Frühstücks wird mit Flex und Hammergeräuschen gebaut, insgesamt merkwürdige Stimmung in der Anlage!
