Overall Ratings & Reviews Babel Guesthouse

Unfortunately, Babel Guesthouse was not the right fit for us. Upon arrival with my husband and our 3-year-old daughter, we quickly realized it wasn’t what we were looking for to end our vacation. We decided immediately to find an hotel and never used the room—we left it exactly as we found it. I had booked four nights and didn’t expect any kind of refund. However, the manager contacted me asking me to cancel the reservation through Expedia. I did so right away, thinking perhaps they were considering refunding at least a couple of nights. I wasn’t expecting to be refunded for the first night, as that wouldn’t have been fair. But in the end, it became clear that the only reason for the request was to free up the room and offer it to someone else, without offering me anything in return. It was a disappointing and frustrating experience.

Babel was a gorgeous place to stay in Siem Reap. Not far from the river & restaurant precinct it gave us a peaceful refuge after a day of exploration. Gorgeous pool area where we relaxed enjoying sumptuous cocktails. The attention to sustainability with recycling with water bottles & products used. Impressive. Loved our stay & definitely will be back.

Beautiful oasis in middle of Siam Reap with friendly staff and a full service bar and restaurant focused on sustainability

A funky little hotel geared for the eco/vegan/family type travellers For the price it’s extremely good value in a nice walkable location to restaurants etc We loved the restaurant bar area & staff. Just fantastic great value for money & a beautiful ambiance. My only gripe that the food menu leaned more towards vegan, however not entirely. The pool area is an oasis from the hustle & bustle very nice. The rooms are of good size & comfortable, however shower was hand held with poor pressure. No fridge in the rooms, however we’re allowed to put drinks in kitchen fridge downstairs. Wifi was average. When we stayed there were several families with young children. They could be loud, but that’s kids, & hotel catered well for them. If that’s an issue for you, take note. Additionally most rooms are on upper levels, with steep stairs. No lifts Overall we really liked the hotel & would consider staying again. It’s priced accordingly & certainly has a family owned charm about it, & their staff were exceptional

Best part is the food is tastier and cheaper than outside restaurants. Great food.

Spent a pleasant few days at Babel Guesthouse in Siem Reap. The staff are very friendly, although the English speakers seemed to lack a bit of local knowledge. Liked the eco aspect of the guesthouse. Our room was very large, with a good shower. AC and fan was available. The guesthouse dining/lounge area is big and enjoyable to use, as is the pool out the back of the building. The guesthouse is well located for Virek Buntham buses and you can get to the main tourist area of Siem Reap in a 15-20 minute walk. Breakfast is available, but it is more expensive than you can find elsewhere. The same for dinner. Ask to be collected from the airport or bus station and your tuk tuk driver will be your personal chauffeur during your time in Siem Reap. Definitely listen to their guidance on how to get around the temples and take a tour with them.

I loved my stay at Babel Guest House for its eco-friendliness, easy availability of tuktuks, clean & green surroundings, friendly staff, beautiful pool etc. I loved the minimalistic approach but I would personally consider to have a kettle & a long mirror in the room.

It was good and the staff was very helpful

The staff was attentive and helpful. Our major issues were the fact that there was smoking allowed in the dining area which seemed incongruous with the eco focus of the hotel and the shower was a challenge to use. There wasn’t a hand towel or bath mat either. Except for these few things we enjoyed our stay with Babel Guesthouse and would recommend it. Our tuk-tuk driver Toy was a delight and very thoughtful.

Rooms are clean and spacious. The staff was extremely helpful with all my inquires. This guesthouse is also doing lots of work not just in their building but in the community to promote going green.

The Babel guesthouse owners and staff were very welcoming and helpful. The accommodation was clean and food delicious.

Comfortable and very clean, good location.

The owners and staff are amazing! They’re like a family.

Great place to stay. Friendly staff and owners. Associated tuktuk drivers are prompt, friendly, and safe drivers. Nice to have a driver assigned to you for the duration of your stay.

We spent one night in Siem Reap after a day of traveling before heading to Angkor Wat the next day. The staff was very friendly and accommodating- would definitely stay here again!!

The hotel is really good. It is ruled by a Norwegian couple, they are very helpful in everything, including great advises about your trips. Hotel is very clean and the building is beautiful. Prices in the cafe of the hotel are quite good as well. Hotel also has a nice tropical garden, where you can enjoy a drink while watching Tomb Raider movie :)

Located only a 3 minute tuk tuk ride from pub street and removed from the craziness this was a great place to stay. Staff were very helpful and organised yours for us once we had arrived. Definitely more or a hostel or budget hotel feel but in a street full of similar accomodation. Pool next door was great to have a swim after a hot day.

Prices are great, the staff even better but the best is that their heart is in the right place.

Det var virkelig en god oplevelse. Lækkert hotel til en meget god pris. De gik meget op i miljøet, og så havde de en super lækker pool. Top oplevelse herfra.

Dårlig utstyrt rom. Ikke kjøleskap,tv,men kunne få hårføner og vannkoker i resepsjonen. Ikke greit å måtte ta av sko i resepsjonen før en gikk flere etasjer til rom. Hyggelig bassengområde. Barnevennlig. Hyggelig personale. Overpriset sammenlignet med andre steder.
