Babel Siem Reap Guesthouse

Very nice guesthouse with fantastic staff, fantastic food, a fantastic swimming pool.

Beautiful eco guesthouse, wonderful staff. Fantastic quiet location. Tuktuks outside (part of the hotel team take u anywhere) Stayed a week. I got injured 3 days before leaving and Siri, the manager and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Lovely restaurant at the guesthouse where the food is superb. Amazing pool.

Nothing.

My room was excellent and as advertised. Location is fairly central, although Siem Reap is quite spread out in general, but within walking distance to Pub Street and main downtown, and not far in a tuk tuk to the main temples. Pool was great.

We booked this accommodation as part of our honeymoon trip from NZ because it looks tidy, had a nice pool and the description highlighted the focus on couples, solo travels etc. overall the pool is nice, the room is spacious and the restaurant makes really good food.

Unfortunately we didn’t enjoy our stay here because this is actually a family focused guesthouse which is not widely advertised on Booking.com. Due to the guesthouse nature the walls are thin and you can hear through the walls and above/below you. The pool was not relaxing due to how many children were constantly in it and some parents thought it was acceptable to have their kids running around, throwing things, screaming etc. well past 10pm. The bed was also way too hard and the bathroom sink and toilet had constant water sitting next to it - I told the staff but they weren’t bothered. After our second of 5 nights I contacted the property to ask to be moved to their Hotel because we couldn’t put up with all of this any longer, fortunately they were able to move us there for no additional cost, it was nicer than the guesthouse and we are grateful.
