Having to go home

Love the chilled atmosphere created by the lovely staff and beautiful surroundings. Accommodation is comfortable and clean. Free kayaking and bicycles are a bonus.

It would likely be quite hot during hot season because there is no air con. Being close to the water there are quite a few mosquitoes.

The staff are so friendly and attentive. It’s just a budget hotel but they always are looking for ways to make you comfortable such as bringing you cold water and turning on fans. Lots of complimentary fruit on offer. It is not a party hostel and the vibe is laid back and quiet.

Nothing to dislike.

We absolutely loved our stay. The common space was the best in all our stays in SE Asia, it was so comfortable, relaxing and looked lovely. Heavy rain came one day and listening to the rain all around you, while relaxing in a chair was an experience we will always remeber. But let's not forget about the people who were so kind and helpful! The small surprise like a platter of fruit and cold water really made a difference. This place really felt like a home. P.S. Special thank you to Monica who,after we forgot a small, but precious thing to us, sent the package to Phnom Penh without hesitation. Thank you Monica!

Nice quiet location right on the small river to take the kayaks out free of charge. We were served delicious food from the restaurant and always given fresh fruit and cold water when we arrived back home each day. The ladies in charge were really friendly and we were able to stay around and relax in the hammocks until our night bus. We also took out the scooters for a day, it was very affordable and the bikes were in good condition. I would definitely come back here if I were to stay in Kampot again. There is also two very fat friendly cats that love a snuggle :)

We loved our stay at retro kampot. The food here is incredible. Best fish amok we have had in Cambodia. Really great kayaks can use for free really nice to kayak around sunset. Free fruit and water refills and the staff are so kind and warm and welcoming they do everything they can to make your stay as pleasant as possible, provide all information about kampot and things to do and rent scooters for you to explore. Really wonderful place.

Location is a bit out of town but it's okay if you have a scooter :)

We had an awesome stay here! Everyone is so welcoming and you are treated with fresh fruits and cold water. The food they make is also really delicious. Facilities are simple but very clean and well cared for. You can rent their scooters and even use the kayaks for free.

Monika was lovely and so welcoming. She was always on hand to help us out and was always offering water and fruit to us. The food was also delicious. We loved the kayaking which you can do for free. The beds were so comfy and no mosquitoes too.

Excellent stay!! Monika and the staff were fantastic and super friendly. The food was amazing and plentiful. Really appreciated the delicious fresh fruit served with each meal. Enjoyed our time in Kampot especially kayaking down the river at sunset on the kayaks provided by the guesthouse. The common space has such a relaxing peaceful vibe and a great place to connect with other guests. Wish we could have stayed longer!!!

I didn't like leaving. I could have stayed for longer.

We loved the location beside the river. We went kayaking down the Green Cathedral, which was beautiful. The staff were friendly and the food was delicious. Our cabin was clean and comfy with a private balcony to relax on. Free water and fruit was a lovely touch, too.

The guesthouse is located 10 min away from the center of Kampot. We didn't mind as we were looking to stay in a quieter place but can understand people wanting to stay closer to the center.

We stayed two weeks in Cambodia and this was probably the best place we stayed at for several reasons. The place is beautiful, the staff is so nice and the food is amazing. Everytime we would walk into the reception/restaurant area, the staff would bring us a fresh glass of water and a plate of fruits (best fruits we ate in Cambodia btw). The bungalows are really nice and right next to the river. Kayaks can be used for free

Very nice and welcoming. The place and facilities are very nice and it's great that you can use their kayaks for free. The food was very good as well. Thank you!

There's only so much air conditioning can do when the outside temperature is 100 degrees Fahrenheit, so be prepared to sweat if you're going to Cambodia in April.

We got spoiled here by the excellent staff and fresh fruit (we're still craving the mango). Upon arrival two hours earlier than check-in, we were greeted with a bowl full of fresh mango, homemade coconut rolls, cold water, and brochures of information for our stay. A few minutes later our room was ready, so we were able to get started on our day. Kayaks were available for free, the menu offered both Khmer and Western food with large portions at a reasonable price, and we rented a motorbike to take down the road to Climbodia for a day.

We stayed at Retro for 5 days. The staff were incredible and looked after us so well! We were offered fresh fruit and ice cool water whenever we entered the seating area. The food at the restaurant was incredibly tasty and the portions were more than generous. During our stay we used the Kayaks provided by the guesthouse (for free!) on multiple occasions, including to go and watch the sunset on the river, which was lovely. They also helped us to arrange day trips and taxis whenever we needed them. We would recommend a trip to Bokor National Park, a beautiful area with some interesting history. The rooms were a good size and very comfortable with a memory foam mattress, a powerful shower and a hammock alongside a sofa & table.

We stayed in a double room with AC in the main house. Our neighbors were a bit loud, slamming the doors and the wooden floor does creek. So i would recommend using earplugs or staying at a bungalow if you are a light sleeper.

Best hostel with the most attentive and lovely staff! Great lounging areas with lots of hammock, free bikes and kayaks for guests. Amazing food, try the fish amok - a bottle of different but the tastiest we had.

We really enjoyed the location and not to mention the breakfast that came with free water, fruits and smiles.

NB it's a 10 minute tuktuk from town but only 2$ so not an issue. It's a good place to relax away from the dust of town!

What a gorgeous place to stay! Staff were so friendly, the communal area was so comfy and the food served was delicious and reasonably priced. They even let my friend from another hotel come on the kayak with me for free. They were really hospitable. I only stayed for 2 nights but would have been very happy there staying for a few nights more.

The staff at Retro were incredible and attentive. We were always given water and fresh fruit whenever we sat down in the Lounge area. The food was great! Saree (@adventure_tuktuk_tour on Instagram) was a fantastic tour guide to see the best bits of Kampot. Would recommend to anyone visiting the area.
