- Lovely manager and housekeeper, always smiling (the manager speaks very good french!) - Great location in a quiet area just outside of the more busy Kampot, 7-8 minutes of motorbike/tuktuk (1.5$) to get to the center - Comfortable bed, big room, nice shower and even… separate toilets from the bathroom (rarely seen in Asia) - We rented a motorbike for a very good price, it was in excellent condition - The place is just beautiful and the (very clean) swimming pool is a nice reward after a busy day

- Not a problem for us but you will need to rent a motorbike, order tuktuks or hire a driver as the city center is a 30-35 minutes walk

Our stay at Phoumrumduol Bungalow's was absolutely excellent. The bungalows themselves are fantastic and super clean, big bed, nice bathroom, little balcony. The pool a real plus, very clean, lovely big sunbeds, lots of umbrellas for shade. And then the host, Loi, is a real star. So, so helpful, extremely nice and welcoming and can help with any situation, whether it be Moto rental (they have scooters for an excellent price), onward travel, restaurant recommendations or arrival issues. He also speaks both English and French. Can't find a fault, and the location is great as well, outside of the hustle and bustle but close enough to everything.

Outstanding : is the best word to describe : "Phoumrumduol Bungalows"! Likes : the room itself : spacious, clean,excellent bathroom facilities installed initially, (skylight: excellent thought!)good sized balcony, great ,good sized, comfortable bed ,well placed wifi connections , friendly staff : the Mananger ,Luch is really the one who 'makes' the Bungalows so good. The pool : great size/cleaned DAILY! The surrounds : beautifully maintained by both Luch and his terrific staff! Eating area : ideal size and NO issue ,if there was one (I had NONE!) : seen to by Luch (who makes a point of BEING available :on arrival and throughout your stay!). I cannot overemphasise the great impact Luch makes to making these Bungalows , in 10 years of my travelling Sth East Asia : the best, value for money, pleasant 'toned' ,memorable staying . Some AS good: but none better! Luch had the intelligence to : TEACH himself French (many French ,as a result ,stay/return here ). His English is fluent : I learnt much more about Cambodia from him . He is friendly, communicative and has the background/experience : to KNOW how to make your stay memorable/enjoyable! Initially : MUCH thought/practical considerations : went into construction of the Bungalows . High quality ,good long term investment,financially : has paid dividends. Location : for me : ideal! A 35 minute walk into Kampot : therefore away from traffic noise: close enough to easily access Kampot! Another 'thought out'/practical outcome! All bungalows are well spaced out from each other : surrounds maintained daily! I will not hesitate to return : Luch/his staff deserve the highest of praise! They are a credit to themselves and to "Phoumrumduol Bungalows" ! I miss the place ,already! This 'review' is not exagerrated : I ALWAYS write honestly : why not?! It helps other travellers and when praise is due : why not express it!?

Please see above : "Likes" : as I honestly cannot think of ANY negative . I'd have stayed much longer : I HAD to leave as my Cambodian Visa was expiring . Therefore : 'What I didn't like' : was HAVING to leave : Kampot is underrated as a destination ! Plus : for ME : finding/staying here made it even better! I cannot even " make up/invent! " : any negative ! But : it is Luch, the Manager who ensures /made all the positive comments (and none exagerrated!) : possible! He would be an absolute asset : wherever he worked : his experience /attitudes/work ethic /personality/listening skills (a rare quality) : all are reflected in how good a place " Phoumrumduol Bungalows" is!

This was truly an oasis, a community of 9 individual bungalows in a lush garden setting. Though only 10 minutes by tuktuk from the heart of town, I felt as if I were in the country. The songs of birds and scents of tropical flowers woke me each morning.

There were a couple of minor maintenance issues, specifically with the door to the room, but that was easily fixed and I never felt unsafe.

The location - very nice and quiet lots of nature on the premises. The staff - Loi is a very friendly and helpful man, speaks English and French and is a pleasure to talk to. The breakfast was very nice too!

the bedsheets and the pillows, natural cloth would be much better than synthetic. everything else was great.

The host of the bungalows couldn't be nicer or more helpful and it was clear that his guests enjoying their stay was really important. We hired a moped from him for $5 a day which was super easy. He gave tips and recommendations for where to go. As others have said, it is a bit out of town but an easy ride in (school kicking out time was a bit hectic!) or we never had to wait long for a 'Grab' tuk tuk which was really cheap. This is more than made up for by the lovely setting, I would not have stayed anywhere else! Lots of birds around the gardens to enjoy. The pool is quite small and warm, but perfect to relax in after a hot day of exploring and there are plenty of loungers and sunshades to relax after. Breakfast is 'on demand' so don't be put off as we were if the dining area isn't set up in the morning, go on in and they will sort you out! It is a basic bread and eggs your way breakfast with a small plate of fruit, fruit juice drink and coffee for $5. We went out mostly and can't recommend the social enterprise Epic Arts Cafe enough, it's open 7am-6pm and everything we had on the 3 times we went there was excellet and supports children and young people with disabilities, good for the soul in every way. It is also a few minutes walk from here to the office we caught our bus to Vietnam from, so a good place to get your onward travels started if you're off early. Sunsets over the mountiains are lovely from bars/cafes on the river or the Kapla skybar, but it's such a shame there are so many bars that are not aimed for couples or women in Kampot. Otherwise so glad we chose here rather than Kep which is only an hours max moped drive to visit, which was enough for us.

Beds are hard, but that seems to be the SE Asia norm. The arrangement of the sockets and lightswitches is not great, but honestly, that's such a small thing.

Nicely set in garden with pool a bit away from the centre. Luth was really friendly and helpful. Gave us good advice and sorted an issue with the air con very quickly. nice breakfast… including delicious mango from their garden!

A really comfortable and nice bungalow in a beautiful garden like surrounding. Very nice and helpful manager/owner there to answer all your questions and help with everything you need.

What a lovely set of bungalows. Perfect location for the train station and, because the station is a bit out of town, lovely and quiet. Comfortable beds, air conditioning or fan to chose for cooling. Or a cute little pool for a dip when the heat gets too much. Great breakfasts for just $5. Staff are fantastic, especially the main man Lodge (apologies for spelling) who couldn't have been more helpful. So, all in all, a great place as a base to explore Kampot (it's only 5000 riels by tuktuk to the Durian roundabout to get into town).

Not having more days to stay here.

very clean and comfortable location and the owner was very accommodating, he is a very nice man! I would stay here again!

nothing to do with the owner but it’s down a dark road and the dogs were very aggressive if you walk!
