Blue Diamond Hostel

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was clean and comfy.

We had a lovely stay here! The property is nice, clean, and well-maintained for an hostel. We booked a private room with a bathroom and air conditioning (available for an extra fee). The room was spacious and had a balcony, hot water, and everything we needed. Fresh drinking water was provided daily, along with towels, a small bar of soap, shampoo sachets, and slippers. The swimming pool and common areas are beautiful and very pleasant places to relax. Pool towels and sun loungers are available, and there is also a shared bathroom where you can change clothes. We also tried the restaurant and really enjoyed the food! Another great plus is that you can rent a motorbike directly from the property for $10 per day, which is very convenient for exploring the area. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place!

The only downside was that, although most of the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, one staff member was not always very pleasant and often seemed annoyed when we asked questions. We rented a motorbike for 24 hours, but she kept insisting that we should return it earlier. We also booked a bus to Phnom Penh through the hostel, and whenever we asked for info, she seemed irritated when answering our questions. This was a little disappointing, especially since the rest of the staff were so kind and helpful.

Was a big room, pool, the staff, the location

The smell that they make in the bathroom

This place is a very cheap stay with comfortable beds to sleep in. Your room is cleaned and two fresh towels are provided each day. Cheap beers. Fine for super cheap stay but not overly clean and nice to chill in. Fine to sleep in just if your room is okay.

When we arrived in our room, the whole place smelt like mould and must to the point where we had to go for a walk and leave the room. We didn't want to complain as it was so cheap so we went back to the room to see if maybe we were being dramatic. We were not being dramatic. The room stank and the flip flops provided were completely covered in mould it was disgusting. We asked for a room change and the staff member was helpful and let us and said 'yea sorry the room stinks someone lived in it for a while'. We didn't know if this was a silly excuse or what, but we got our new room and it did the job. It's cheap so we didn't expect much but the first room was unbearable to be in. We used the pool and it just wasn't nice to be in, not clean at all and sun loungers were so old and gross. Pool table was fun but was covered in dust and parts of the ceiling that had fallen off. No one cleaned it and we had to try wipes it ourselves to play a game but the table was very old, dirty and not easy to play on. There are about 3 dogs running round the hostel in the main part and two of them took a pee while we were playing pool and it sat there for ages, super gross. Hostel is cheap but it could really do with a bit of work done and to be cleaned. Maybe we just had a bad experience but I just can't stand lack of cleanliness
