It comes down to all nice images and a good website, the reality is a hotel run by amateurs. The suite consisted of mosquitos, a cat in the bathroom, the fridge not working, their flatscreen tv is a joke, probably the first model ever brought out. If you would pay 50usd for this hotel it would be fine, but not... More

Dear Sir, Our hotel, Samar Villas is considered by the majority of our customers who stayed from the opening in October 2010 as 'a beautifully decorated home with rosewood furniture, antiques and equipped with every comfort' quoted from comments posted freely by individuals whom we had the pleasure and honor to host. It is unfortunate that you have not been... More

I was given the room on the Top left hand side, at the far end of the row, which looked really lovely. Unfortunately I arrived after a wet period and there were a number of repairs taking place, and I had a number of leaks from the ceiling in my room. I was trying to sleep and had major construction... More

We stayed at Samar Villas during our trip to Angkor Wat, and we never anticipated what a strong mark the boutique would leave on us. We went to see Angkor not giving all that much to where we stayed. What we discovered was an oasis tucked away in Siem Reap. The grounds are beautiful, the food is outstanding, and the... More

Great little Hotel with only 8 rooms. The staff was very nice and helpful with everything from booking tuktuks or having bicycles delivered to the Hotel as well as helpful advice for the temples (some Reviews mention free tuktuks, this service seems to have been terminated). We stayed at the Villa which is very spacious with a private terrace and... More

I was relieved when I stepped into the hotel lobby. You always take a risk or two when you book a boutique hotel, so I was happy that it looked as good as advertised. It is indeed a very pretty and quaint place - Christian and Bertrand do take a lot of pride in their property and have also trained... More

The report on your stay in our hotel is not a reflection of the fact Upon your arrival, you were in the middle of the lobby to assemble your bike, although this is not normal, we did not say anything. Then you wanted to put this bike in your suite, effectively I refused, as your apartment is decorated with rosewood... More

Stayed in the Founan apartment. Splashed out as a special occasion but really really disappointed. Room was big but nowhere near the standards expected for the price bracket they were charging - especially for Cambodia where accommodation is generally a lot cheaper than elsewhere. Air conditioning was feeble and did not even cool the room down after being on all... More

My partner and I found Samar Villas to be a nice respite from the mass of tourists in Siem Reap. As others have stated, Samar is close to Angkor Wat and still within a ten-minute tuk tuk to restaurants. We had no issues whatsoever with noise from other rooms or the neighborhood, even though our junior suite was at the... More
