Homestays in Phumĭ Katiĕng

I had a wonderful 3-night stay at Tribal Village Homestay & Trekking. The place is beautiful and surrounded by greenery, creating such a peaceful atmosphere. There’s no aircon, only fans, but it wasn’t needed at all since the evenings and nights were super cool—we didn’t even turn the fan on! The owner was incredibly helpful, arranging a pickup and drop-off for us and explaining the trekking options in detail. We also rented a bike from him, which was in great condition and made exploring even more enjoyable. The highlight of the stay was definitely the Khmer food cooked by his wife at their restaurant, absolutely delicious! I’m already missing it. A heads-up for future guests: there’s only cold water for the shower. It can be challenging on colder days, but it’s manageable. Also, the neighbour’s rooster starts crowing as early as 3:30 am and keeps going until around 5 am. But hey, it’s part of the charm of staying in the Cambodian countryside, just adds to the experience lol!

Bee Bees Chalet is a true homestay where the family live in the same wooden chalets as the guests. The 3 children are adorable as are the parents. The oldest son - BeeBee speaks fluent English as does Nita, the mother. The evening meals were excellent. This was our first stop in Cambodia so we were a bit taken a back by the cold showers and no air con but it was absolutely fine. They organise all sorts of trips. We did the boat trip which was good fun especially as BeeBee joined us. We learnt so much about Cambodia from this lovely family.

The essence of Cambodia is not in their brutal history, not in their financial misfortune—it is in their people. The host family are tender-hearted. Their children are full of life, the students they host English classes for are full curiosity, and the owners are full of selfless love. I urge you to stay here, share in their beautiful way of life, and discover Cambodia’s benevolent spirit.

Family House and Trekking is a must visit in Ban Lung, the homestay is relaxing and welcoming with great places to hang out. Pu Thea and his family help with getting around town, jungle trekking, and make amazing meals.

The Host, Mr Vutha, is the nicest person. He'll make sure that you are comfortable and will take care of you if needed. The location is great and the room is spacious and comfortable.

My bungalow was clean, well equipped and had a wonderful view. Bun and his wife really looked after me, with my meals, tours and transport. I highly recommend this property to you.
