Hostels in Sihanoukville

The vibe of the lobby was nice, they gave us complimentary water bottles

lRelaxing place, spacious rooms, professional staff, owner helpful with local information. Excellent wifi, really liked fridge and electric kettle in room.

The best I could find near the port. Nice vibe and I had a good rest

Beautiful room with A/C and comfy bed

Beautiful view, comfortable bed, and kind staff.

Natural, quiet, Very beautiful

I've stayed in a lot of cheap hostels around the world. This is one of the worst ones. The good reviews, I can only imagine, are from people who lacked the ability to differentiate between the beauty of Koh Rong Samloem and Saracen Bay and the below average conditions of The Big Easy. It's dirty. I don't expect immaculate cleanliness. My house is kinda messy. The Big Easy is DIRTY. There's mold in the rooms and bathrooms. Dirt and dust (and sand - which is a bit more forgivable) everywhere. Things are falling apart (holes in the walls and ceilings, the hinge on my locker was completely disconnected). There were two bathrooms/showers in the 8-person dorm. The lock on one was broken, making it useless. Some bunks have a shelf, which is good. Others don't, which is bad. Pay $2 and put up a shelf so people can put their phones on it to charge and don't have to put their toothbrush on the floor in the moldy locker. Plus, because they are so shoddily made, many locks won't fit the latch. Only about 6 beach chairs. My dorm had 8 bunks. There are multiple rooms. You see the problem. Some of the staff are foreign volunteers (there are also paid foreigners) - this, of course, takes paid jobs away from locals. One night there was a party until 2AM or so. Beyond making a lot of noise, it was the foreign staff that were up late making a huge mess (empty beer cans and bottles, cigarette butts, trash) and the Cambodians who woke up early to clean it up. Finally, there was a mix up and they thought that I didn't pay for one of my meals that I ate there. Like I would dine and dash at the place that I was staying makes any sense. Staff was decidedly not friendly after that - which was their mistake. Even without this incident, if I were to come back to Saracen Bay, I'd not stay in this hostel. The restaurant was fine. Good, even. Though, I have some concerns about the cleanliness of the kitchen after seeing the rooms.

Great budget experience with nearby sunset views at the best beach on the island. Good space to meet other travelers and lots of good restaurants in the area.

I loved the room with a small yard. Good food good environment!
