Reviews of O'hamok family homestay

We had a fabulous stay at the O Hamok homestay. The location is just outside of town and in beautiful jungle gardens. Breakfast was fab ans owners lovely, would highly recommend!

Quiet location, lovely family, comfortable beds with mosquito nets. Very good and helpful comms with the hosts.

Simple but great little oasis of calm amongst flora and fauna. Bit out of town but that was fine with us, as easy to get out via tuk tuk. Any was a very helpful hostess.

We really enjoyed our stay at O’Hamok Family Homestay - the homestay is a little slice of paradise! It’s easy to find, clean, and truly beautiful. Even without air conditioning, the fans kept us cool and we slept well. But bring ear plugs! They also kindly shortened our stay by one night when I accidentally booked the wrong dates! 🙏🏼 The only feedback would be that we had to patch up our mosquito net with plasters as there were a few holes.

Nice staff very welcoming Goyave Tea

Great local feeling, beautiful surrounding and helpful host!

breakfast was a little underwhelming, but it was early in the morning

We loved this beautiful homestay. The buildings have all been built by the owner Sam using materials repurposed from his family home in the country. A beautiful garden and plenty of space made it feel like a calm oasis. The room was basic but clean and comfortable and with no plastic waste. The hosts were very welcoming and gave advice freely. We were able to get a free pick up from the homestay by Giant ibis as we booked our onward travel from Battambang to Phnom Penh with Giant ibis. Breakfast was delicious with a lovely view of the fish in the pond and the noise of the cicadas. We ate locally very well and enjoyed a superb cycle tour of the countryside around Battambang with a local social enterprise Soksabike. We will look back on this as a highlight of our journey around Cambodia.

Love the traditional homestay feel andd 💬 Ng to owners Any and Sam.

Not a criticism just advice for improved experience. We thought breakfast could be improved and better value with the addition of muesli and yoghurt to go with the lovely fruit. That said if you knew in advance or staying linger there are plenty facilities and fridge to ring your own.

Our wooden bungalow was charming, clean and functional, the bathroom was basic but it was located upstairs, private and with hot water. The mattress was perfect and the sheets and towels were clean. The shared kitchen is appreciable and you can refill your water bottles for free. Breakfast is plentiful for 3.75 usd half baguette, tea and coffee, homemade jam, fruit and egg. Our hosts welcomed us with a smile, they explained to us how the room and the homestay worked during the stay, they are not intrusive they adapt to travelers. The garden is beautiful with large trees that keep the freshness and a large pond with fish. If you are looking for a homestay with a family and caring welcome you will be in the right place. On the other hand, if you are more used to resorts or boutique hotels this place will not be for you.

Kind woman, let us feed the fish

They locked us in at night until we tried to leave in the AM and hand to find the owner. Its a fire Hazzard and totally inconvenient. Way to hot in our room, ac didn't really work. Fridge didn't work. Sheets were very old/thread bare and dingy. Rooms with mosquito nets had holes/nets need replacing. Generally everything needs a deep clean and update.

Perfect relaxed setting. Family who run place so nice and helpful. Breakfast good. Cheap Tuk Tuk ride to town or a pleasant walk along river.

Nothing was concerned about no air con but the fans were more than sufficient 👍🏿👏

A French chambre d'hotes in the outskirts of Battambang. Great welcome, wonderful simple accommodation, lovely jungle garden, breakfast with eggs from their own chickens. $1.50 for a grab tuktuk into town. Battambang is really worth visiting, quiet but with a smattering of good restaurants, bars and the obligatory street food. Much of the centre retains its colonial architecture and scores highly on character and ambiance. Well worth the detour

I liked everything very much

Very friendly hosts who put me in touch with a great tour guide.

The family was lovely and very helpful! The accommodation lovely!

Mosquito in the evening, but there is no avoiding this!

The room was wonderfull and comfortabel, and nice and cool. The real joy is in the beautiful garden and the welcoming family though. Very relaxing place to just be. Wished I could have stayes longer!

Only one little thing.. The steps towards my room felt more like a ladder than stairs. It comes with a traditional house. Found them a bit scary as I have a malfunctioning knee. If you have mobility issues or a small child you should get in touch with the family and ask for a room that is easier accessible.

The owners are incredibly kind and generous, making you feel like part of their family. I joined a one-day tour with Sarom, and it was the absolute highlight of my trip. He also gave me plenty of helpful advice and even arranged my visit to the bat cave as well as my bus to Siem Reap. The property is nestled in the heart of the jungle, and I truly cherished the unique experience. The breakfast, while simple, is tasty and reasonably priced, with the stunning view adding so much to the overall enjoyment. I hope to return soon!

It didn’t bother me personally, but this might not be the best place for you if: • You’re not a fan of being close to nature, as you’ll likely hear animals moving around near the bungalow. • You’re a light sleeper—on weekends, weddings can start as early as 5 a.m., so I’d recommend bringing earplugs.

The place is a bit outside of town which is good and very lush and green. The owners are very kind and helpful and have a very good knowledge of the surrounding region.

The whole place would need some maintenance. Charging your phone is extremely difficult due to very old plugs. Generally the facilities are a little worn down. Watch your head when walking around. The mattress was very hard. The helmet for the scooter was broken and didn't get fixed or replaced although we asked for it.

The owners are very friendly and kind.

It wasn’t as clean or comfortable there.

It's a place where you can relax during the day with a nice view from our terrace. You'll want a motorbike cause it's far from the city to go by walking. We were expecting more by the reviews we read here.

The outside areas and the kitchen where very dirty, our bedroom and bathroom were ok. The WiFi didn't worked well. We spent 2 nights and both of them had very noisy neighbours, party electronic music style.

The house, the nature around and still close to the city, the hospitality of the family, plenty of space to relax or work, fast internet, amazing tour with Sam... you name it. This homestay has everything and much more. In Battambang look no further and choose this homestay. Best ever.

Special place, with a beautiful jungle garden. It is a great place for relaxing and for planning trips with tuk tuk or motorbike around the Battambang. Traditional houses, breakfast with garden view, puppy Zuma, very friendly family - it is the best combination for starting our traveling in Cambodia. Our children love the place too.

So much character. It felt like sleeping in a forest, despite being so close to the centre of Battambang.
