The Sanctuary Villa Battambang

7

An ordinary hotel in Battambang- very hard uncomfortable bed, room didn’t overlook a pool- shower room had water, we didn’t get any hot water, curtains were ineffective. Interesting lock (padlock) for the room, We ordered some room service- this was ok. Seemed a nice family running the place but it’s more of a guest house feel.

We enjoy the ambience and the natural beauty of The Greenery in the setting of the property... I certainly appreciated that the water provided was not in the plastic bottles at the same time you must keep your water filter clean. When saying that occurs to me is in the advertisement before I book the room and said the beds were Select Comfort beds they were not they were on a concrete pedestal and the mattresses were certainly very very firm.. After staying in over 40 different hotels in the last year I know what kind of bed you shouldhave what kind of price for over or forty dollars you should have a western-style bed. That was frankly the biggest disappointment. Other than that everything was adequate. But I still have to point out that the price would be more like $30 top with that kind of bed

Excellent customer service.

Lovely quiet place to stay in Battambang. A little bit out of town but of course tuk tuk always available. Nice little restaurant on site food is very good. Staff lovely. Bamboo train trip definitely a must. Only negative was the private car and driver arranged for us by the hotel. Car was very old and the driver spoke no English. Very unpleasant 6 hour drive to Phonm Penn. Drove past new service centres with toilets and restaurant but driver took us to a dodgy roadhouse. I normally would not complain but better facilities were available. Funny though driver knew enough English to ask for a tip when we arrived at our new hotel. So check your car before you leave. We used a private car and driver from Siem Reap to Battambang 3 days prior and was extremely happy with both car and driver.

This place is fantastic, from the ambiance to the staff to the garden. I am coming here again.

The villa condition is tired, but very good by Cambodian standards. The staff tried very hard to make our stay pleasant. I would recommend The Sanctuary Villa for your stay in Battambang, and don’t miss the Baha’i temple when you tour the town.

The Sanctuary Villa was a lovely place to stay, with beautiful plant and flower-filled surroundings. The room was good, with a big bath and although we didn't use the pool, it looked lovely. If you're going to stay, please be aware that the mattress is very hard, and it's a ways out of town so feels a little isolated. Otherwise, recommended!

Nice gardens, but a bit out of town and the room door never quite shuts (padlock in a hinge)

Average at best. You’re in Cambodia, so need to adjust your expectations, but this place is being run into the ground by lazy staff. In what would’ve been a wonderful little oasis, lies a tired, worn out boutique hotel in every respect. The pool is dirty, towels filthy, food simple beyod comprehension, dirty rooms, fixtures and fittings falling apart, terrible a/c. Don’t waste your time and stay somewhere closer to town. I sincerely hope management or the owner read this and pick up their socks otherwise it’s a lost cause.

No hot water, then moved to a room with. No phones in room. No real room service. Just not worth the price I paid.

Relaxing stay, out of town, nice villas

A beautiful spacious room with a corner bath and separate rainfall shower. Refreshing pool with sunbeds and shared pavilions for whiling away the hours. Super staff that can help with hiring mopeds, getting boat and circus tickets (plus much more) and excellent chefs for dishing up yummy breakfasts, even wrapping it up to go for an early departure! The only detraction from an otherwise perfect stay is that the mosquito nets (much needed in the watery surroundings) are a little small for the beds, much better would be square nets set over four posters, so sleepers are not pressed against the netting.

I had a most enjoyable stay. Breakfast was beautifully served on the outdoor room by the entrance. We got a great welcome despite the fact that our booking had not been passé on by the booking agency.

We only could stay one night, but this place was perfect. Very clean, easy to get to and from, great food and the staff were friendly and helpful. Also, a super spacious bed which was a relief after a 3 hour drive! Highly recommend this place!

The staff is young but they are dedicated to making sure the guests are comfortable and have what they need. They are the reason why this hotel may be receiving higher review scores. Management on the other hand is disappointing. The new owner (bought the place a year ago) could care less about the guests. Not only does he show up midway through the day but he does not have any passion in the hospitality sector - he's only in it for the money.

Tucked away in quiet area . Easy tuk tuk ride into main areas. Staff were wonderful. Hotel clean and tidy.

This is a beautiful landscaped setting. It has 8 villas 2 of which were closed for renovation - so much room and friendly staff for 6 villas. It was extremely hot 40+ when we were there so the large and exposed pool also was hot but this country is near the equator so it is the way it is. Villas were spacious as is the reception, dining etc area. You need a tuk tuk to go places but this is easily organised by staff. They also booked bus tickets to Phnom Penh...loved it,

A relaxing small (8 room) hotel like a mini resort. A great little escape!

The staff at the sanctuary villa were amazing! It was a beautiful place to stay and a good stop over if you are going between Phnom Pehn and Siem Reap. The staff were able to organise private car transfers, tours and in room massages.
