    Maybe improving the toilets and showers ?

    Friendly staff, the facilities were what one can look for when travelling around Cambodia. I met great people and had so much fun in a couple of days. Plus, the food is great!

    Wish they provided sheets or duvets for the bed, as opposed to two blankets on a double bed. They were happy to give us extra blankets though.

    Truly a beautiful hostel, the garden area is accurately reflected in the pictures. Great vibe to the place, good menu for food and drinks too. Room itself was spacious and clean. Staff were really helpful, they can organise tours and excursions and you can rent a moped.

    The staff is so nice very homey and the pool is amazing they cool it down ao on hot days it's heaven. We stayed both in the private room and the dorms. Both in good shape, we had a private shower and bathroom in the dorm but also outside if you want.

    Very loud dogs during the night kept me up, but nothing to do with the place itself. Just something to be aware of. Also situated a bit further out which wouldn't be a problem if you drive a motorbike.

    A really relaxed stay, a great place to socialise, friendly staff. Private room was great to stay in, really comfortable.

    I had such a fantastic stay at the Yellow Star. The hostel is gorgeous and it’s a super relaxing place. The food is incredible and the staff are so friendly. I would have stayed longer if I wasn’t short on time. Plus they have the cutest doggies ❤️ I you visit Kampot I would really recommend staying here!

    the private rooms are at the front of the property & im not sure if the dogs at the hostel belong to the hotel staff or if theyre strays but unfortunately they would bark at other dogs at the front gate close to our room so woke us up every night. maybe it would be good for guests if the dogs were kept inside at night time? regardless, it didnt spoil our trip. just an observation :)

    fantastic place to stay. facilities were amazing, staff very kind. although its about a 30 minute walk to town, tuktuks are around 5,200 riel so its worth it especially as there a few other hotels with a pool in the area. we loved it so much and even extended our trip here. thank you so much!

    - poor laundry service, had to get my clothes washed twice. The first time my clothes were so fousty and chucked in a wet bag. Returned them to be washed again, much better and smelt cleaner but was given back to me with half of it still damp and had to air dry it out on my final day. - the bed/mattress dipped in the middle which gave for 4 nights of uncomfortable sleep continually rolling into my partner - only a bed in the AC3 room. No desk, chair, kettle, hand soap. Also no chairs or table on the patio whereas the other AC1 room had one outside. - room wasn’t cleaned/towels replenished the whole time we were there.

    Lovely stay at Yellow Star. Our AC double room was a great size. The food at the hostel was fab, lots of options for vegetarians. Didn’t use the pool but it was always cleaned and was a lovely chill out spot and a great space to connect with other travellers. T was a great host and took us out on the sunset river cruise from the sister hostel Yellow Sun which was an amazing experience. Brianna gets a special mention as she made our stay so comforting and she was always smiling when we saw her, thank you for the best cocktails ever!! The dogs are so loving and adorable, although it wouldn’t hurt to give them a wash!

    It’s a little out of the way, but very short cheap tuk tuk away ir you can rent a bike.

    We moved from another hotel for the pool and AC.Honestly we loved our day at this place. There was a little hiccup with the room but all was sorted quickly and professionally by the super helpful and friendly staff. Overall all the chill vibe is the winner here. Pool good, food good, vibes good.

    The people working here are fantastic...the dogs/puppies too. Staff are super friendly, always happy to help you and available for a good chat if you're feeling sociable. I had an issue with the first room they gave me but they immediately changed it for me without any question. The pool and bar are also a great place to chill out, eat (really nice food at a very reasonable price) and meet people. You could easily chill here all day long if that's the sort of stay you're after. The location is OK but you are quite far out of town. It's not an issue if you're happy to rent a bike or bicycle which you can do on site. I personally was a bit perturbed though by the roads so relied on tuktuks. You can also check out the buses/ferries which are regular and take you to all the hotspots. But if you're looking to explore Kampot then definitely get a bike or scooter. I enjoyed my stay here so much that I was sad to leave! Thank you for having me.

    Shower pressures not great but doesn’t really matter when it’s as cheap as it is. It is a little bit out of the way but can easily get a tuk tuk to different places.

    Nice vibe around the pool area, food is absolutely amazing and reasonably priced.
