Cambodia Travel Guide - Accommodation

Accommodation standards have improved greatly, especially in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville. Elsewhere there is usually one good standard hotel in town, although facilities are limited. There is no official grading of hotels and the prices usually give a good idea of the standard.

Phnom Penh and Siem Reap have some superb hotels with all the facilities and services expected in international-standard properties such as air conditioning, satellite TV, room service, restaurants, bars and swimming pool. There is also a good selection of mid-range hotels with many of the same facilties apart from room service and swimming pool.

There is now 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 guest houses abound although they tend to be very basic.

There are no campsites in Cambodia. A few travel companies arrange camping for organised groups who are travelling right off the beaten track, and all camping equipment is supplied.

These are available in Phnom Penh, Siem Reap and Sihanoukville.

Villas are available to rent in the larger towns for long-stay visitors.
