Accommodation

Hotels

Accommodation standards have improved greatly in recent years, especially in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, with a variety of hotels and hostels, and numerous international hotel chains. Elsewhere, there is usually one good standard hotel in town, although facilities are often limited. There is no official grading of hotels and the prices are the only way to decide the quality.

Phnom Penh and Siem Reap have some superb hotels with all the facilities and services expected in international-standard properties. There is also a good selection of mid-range hotels.

Guest Houses

There is a variety of good guest houses available in the capital and in most towns around Cambodia. Facilities are limited but often include air conditioning or a fan and a restaurant. Some have shared bathrooms. Some budget guest houses do not have restaurants so guests have to buy breakfast in a local cafe.

Budget hotels and hostels are plentiful, although they tend to be very basic and are best suited to backpackers.

Camping/Caravanning

Various resorts, reserves and national parks offer scope for camping. A few travel companies can arrange camping for organised groups who are travelling right off the beaten track, with all equipment supplied.

Youth Hostels

These are available in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, while comparable guest-houses are easily found throughout the country.

Self Catering

Many companies offer villas for long stay breaks in Cambodia. The best are centred around major cities like Phnom Penh.
