the Staff were outstanding. Brilliant friendly team running the Sokkhak. The lush gardens were lovely and lots of extra touches to make the stay memorable

I liked everything and everyone

All the staff were incredibly friendly and courteous. Organized all my tours for me which were great. hotel was nicely decorated with a traditional feel. Very clean. Excellent restaurant with great dining in and breakfast options. Loved my stay in Cambodia and I’ll definitely be back!

refill water bottles to avoid waste, extremely friendly staff

We had the most amazing stay at Sokkhak Boutique Resort. The staff has been adorable and accommodated all our requests, and we even got an unexpected room upgrade. The restaurant offers delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner options. The outdoor area is gorgeous and luxuriant.

The spa experience could be improved, starting with communication. The massage I received was not as relaxing as I hoped. Bedrooms could be slightly cleaner.

Boutique and beautiful. Everything we could possibly need. Staff were kind, thoughtful and well trained.

Smallest criticism, staff were a little too attentive, so felt a bit crowded at times in regard to privacy.

quiet and small, good location for temple visits, excellent Spa, and the most friendly staff!

I would recommend this hotel to anyone. It was an oasis of peace in a dusty rugged part of town. It was a little "noisy", however, with dogs barking away the evil spirits at night (Cambodian custom/beliefs) as the rest of the neighborhood was ramshackle plots of land with houses of various sorts. The pool was FANTASTIC! It was what we dreamed of during the day when out and about in 104˚F/40˚C with 99% humidity... The food was excellent, with the breakfast omelette being outstanding. The menu was a bit limited, however, but this was probably because they had just reopened due to being closed in the pandemic, so I don't think this is a permanent criticism. The cocktail menu was excellent. The attentiveness, politeness and friendliness of the staff was sincere. They were very efficient. Coffee was excellent service was very quick and the staff made an excellent espresso, which we valued greatly in the morning! The bed was COMFORTABLE! One of the best beds we've had at a hotel!! While our room was air-conditioned, the hotel itself was not, so some days we had to sit right in front of the fan to get some relief from the heat in the dining room. This is a very nice hotel, an oasis at the edge of a dusty road in a rural part of Siem Reap. Now, Siem Reap is not Phnom Penh and downtown Siem Reap is clean, compact and full of restaurants and bars and places to walk. In this respect, the hotel was a bit isolated. Some nights, after a day a sightseeing, then relaxing in the pool and changing, it was late and we were tired, and we decided it was too much effort to go into town. Maybe younger kids might not feel that way, but we did so we ended up eating in the hotel more than we would have if we had stayed downtown.

This is a criticism of the hotel designers, not the staff in any way, and it pertains to our room (the suite.) It was a very inefficient and weird layout. The room was huge and the bed was comfortable, as mentioned, but the bathroom was tiny and had no "put space", a category I always evaluate critically. In other words, there was no place to "put your stuff" in the bathroom. Narrow sides to the sink - that's very inconvenient. Few shelves and only two hooks for draping towels no towel racks for drying your wet towels. There was an entire large room devoted solely to a gigantic concrete (yes, stone material) free standing bath! No doors, no privacy, no shelves, no handrails to help you in and out of this tub, and no rugs or non-slip material when you get out! A total waste of space. The desk was very large but required an extension cord as there was no place to plug in any of your equipment. All in all, a very poor design & layout of the room. Lighting was poorly laid out. Also, the exit and entrance to the pool was very funky and one could easily trip getting in and out. At night, the placement of the lights actually created a hazard, since the face upwards, and blinded you as you tried to look down to walk on narrow pieces of stone laid out as a path and stairs to the pool. Could be a lot better design. Again, this is due to the hotel designers/architects, not any reflection on the staff in any way.

Our stay with Sokkhak Boutique Resort was excellent. Sophal greeted us at the airport and was very friendly and welcoming. He waited while I got some cash at the ATM and then drove us via tuk tuk to the hotel, which was maybe around 15 minutes or so. Upon arrival to the hotel, we were warmly welcomed with a tea and a cool lemongrass cloth. We were checked in and staff offered help, explanation, etc for our stay. We had a poolside room. It was positioned just behind some bushes to give a bit of privacy to the room. The room itself was spacious with a large bed, long table top desk area, and a mini fridge underneath. The bathroom had a large bathtub and open shower area. The toilet area was in the bathroom but behind it's own privacy door. The shower had great water pressure, hot and cold water, and plenty of space. For the rest of the room, the bed was the most comfortable one we had through out trip. In addition, we are those people who like to sleep to a fan and the staff was able to put a fan in the room, which was a great bonus. The location is outside of the main town center, so you will need to take a tuk tuk to get into the center. That being said, it's maybe 8 minutes or so and only $2 to go into town. Returning was $3 for tuk tuk's not connected to the hotel. All very affordable for rides. We also walked around the hotel area. There is a drink / tea shop directly on the corner next to the hotel, which had drinks for what amounted to less than $1 for us. They were very tasty and the mother / daughter team running it were very friendly. It's a nice shop and we recommend supporting them. We also walked down around the corner to a local pizza spot, which was good option as well, rather than going into the town center. Lastly, the hotel set up a driver for a day through the temples. Sophal was our driver and was wonderful. We enjoyed the day greatly and Sophal was excellent. Overall, we recommend the hotel and loved our stay!

Nothing.

Very professional staff and very friendly.

There was some noise from the backside of the building. Probably a water tank.

this is my idea of the perfect hotel. small property but our room was large, luxurious and gorgeous with beautiful art and furniture and the most comfortable bed. the restaurant was small and very good. the staff were so pleasant and helpful and organized a couple of outings for us. we were very happy with our stay.

nothing. it was a bit out of the centre of town which suited me perfectly and there was always transportation available.

Wonderful service, you felt at home. Breakfast was from a set menu and fantastic the food was fresh and heathy.

Very helpful, friendly and attentive staff, stunning room, excellent food and loved the pool. Helped with bike hire and made suggestions of places to visit.

Can't really think of any negatives.

Location was a short Tuk Tuk ride to everything. The service was pampering and truly attentive to your every need. A hidden little gem that was completely unexpected.

Not turning the air off when you leave the room and giving more counter space in bathroom.

Lovely staff, really caring and attentive to your need and nice hotel.

We didn’t like the area, it’s really outside of the city (10mins by tuktuk) and the surrounding is not nice, in the middle of slums, dirty and poor area.

Every once in a while you find yourself in a hotel which in many ways far exceed your expectations. Sokkhak Boutique Resort was, for us, one of those not very common experiences. The location, in a secluded location close to a fairly busy commercial area gave us the feeling of being in a local rather than a tourist environment, yet once within the boundaries of the hotel we felt far removed from any hustle and bustle. The "downtown attractions of Siem Reap, limited but interesting, are just a few minutes away by tuk-tuk. The reason for visiting Siem Reap, the magnificent ancient temples of Ankor Wat, Ankor Thom, Preah Khan and others are also within easy reach by tuk-tuk. The people of Cambodia are gentle, courteous and charming and all the staff at Sokkhak, as well as the guide and driver they arranged for us, fit comfortably into this description. Our breakfasts and suppers were delicious and presented with delightful attention to detail. The pool just beyond the door of our room was a delight after fairly long walks around the sights. A truly memorable highlight of our travels to many and varied locations!

Nothing!

A small boutique hotel with super friendly & helpful staff. We stayed in a separate room facing the pool. The room was large & we loved the layout. We also loved the food at their restaurant. The location is outside Siem Reap proper & closer to the temple complex.

You are better off renting bicycles outside yourself.

From the moment we arrived the staff were wonderful, so genuinely helpful and kind. The hotel itself is beautiful and kept to a very high cleanliness level. You were made to feel comfortable and well taken care of from the minute you arrived. I was so sad to leave, if I could I would’ve stayed forever!

Nothing. In all honesty it is the best hotel I have ever stayed in.

Spacious, beautifully designed rooms Heavenly bed. Great and big pool. Staff went out of their way to meet every need 😊 Location out of town, quiet and convenient for temples visits.

The hotel could have more outdoor lounge spaces. There is no restaurant onsite, but you can order dinner from their town restaurant!

staff room decoration

There’s nothing whatsoever to dislike about the Sokkhak. The little touches like appearing to meet you from a TukTuk with an umbrella when it rained. Appearing to offer tea/coffee by the pool ‘just’ as you think of it. Remembering you like a second coffee at breakfast! Nothing was too much trouble.

There is nothing to dislike.

everything is perfect especially the staff

nothing

This place is paradise. The home suite is one of the most beautiful rooms we have ever stayed in and the gardens are a corner of tranquillity in lush greenery. You wake up to bird song and distant roosters. The food from their sister restaurant is lovely, and gets delivered to you (you can eat at the dining room but we preferred to sit in our veranda terrace). The staff was amazing, so thoughtful and helpful. Everyone went out of their way to make our lives easier and found ways to solve any difficulties. We also tried the partner gym (a couple of minutes’ walk from the hotel) and it was great. The swimming pool is salted water and always a perfect temperature. They offer free drop-off to siem reap, but after sightseeing in Angkor and surroundings we ended up preferring to spend most of our free time at the hotel instead of siem reap! We couldn’t recommend this place more. There are cheaper options in siem reap, but treating yourself to a stay at Sokkhak is definitely worth it.
