Seven Candles is a very special place and will forever remain dear to me. The price cannot be beat and it is for a great cause. Breakfasts are excellent. Showers hot. Rooms basic but spotlessly clean. The cantina is delightful. I ate there at least once a day. If you decide to book a tour through the guesthouse, (which I... More

My friend and I had a great stay here. The room was very clean and spacious with an en suite bathroom, WiFi, mini fridge and air-conditioning. The beds were big and sheets and pillows were spotless. The bathroom is cleaned every day and there's a ventilation fan in it so that you never feel sticky after a shower (a big... More

Seven Candles Guesthouse is special! It is special as it supports an amazing cause, founded by owner Ponheary Ly, The Ponheary Ly Foundation. Ponheary & her family experienced horrific atrocities at the hands of the Khmer Rouge. It was a time in Cambodia's history where Pol Pots regime killed & tortured many of those with an education.Children were not exempt.... More

My husband and I had a great experience earlier this month during our two-night stay at Seven Candles. Beyond the kind, accommodating staff, delicious breakfast, and fair-trade gift shop on site, this is the type of place that you really feel good about supporting. The owner of the Seven Candles, a survivor of the Pol Pot regime, has established a... More

Okay, this place is not in the center of activity but that means it is quiet. More importantly, everyone associated with it is so nice, so friendly that it feels like home. The rooms are big, clean, have air con, private baths, and cable TV (Al Jazeera and the BBC, yea!). The family of owners also support programs to help... More

We spend 2 nights in February 2013 in this very friendly guesthouse. The room was was clean, quiet and even had a balcony. The breakfast, which was really good, is served on a shady terrace. There also is a nice roof top bar. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

We were recommended to stay at 7 candles and I am so glad we went there. It is without doubt the hotel with the most generous spirited staff we have ever stayed in. They will lend you bikes to get around town on; they have lounges with computers for use by the guests; they have a roof top terrace where... More

I have nothing to fault and everything to praise about our time spent here. We arrived direct from a long Haul flight, tired and jet lagged from long travelling hours, pre booked via Agoda, and stayed for six nights to visit the temples and get to know Siem Reap. For us, the best thing was how friendly the guesthouse was,... More

Had a wonderful time here, genuinely friendly people and a lovely house. You can walk to the town centre in around 15 minutes should you wish to. That was the only downside of my stay, the town centre is becomming a bit commercial, but the temples are magnificent.Unfortunately, We had a power cut for most of time I was there,... More
