Stayed at Baray Siem Reap House for four days, and everything about our stay was great. Our host was available to help us with recommendations, tuk tuk, and friendly advice every step of the way. Our stay here was the highlight of our trip, and cost significantly less than some of the other places we stayed. The room wasn't 5-star, but was way more than we normally get in this price range, and was very clean and spacious. The market is a 5 minute $2 tuk tuk ride away, and there is some decent restaurants within walking distance.
Our stay was safe, smooth & enjoyable. We were pleasantly & informatively welcome by our host, Mr Savon. He gave us his mobile number, which was quite handy, as he's responsive at all times. When the electricity and water went down a couple of times, which is pretty common in this part of the world, Savon was always contactable and restored the utilities immediately.
Seeing my husband suffered a bit of a cold at arrival, his wife spontaneously cooked porridge, which helped. Savon even contacted our 2-day Angkor Wat tour operator, to ensure we meet them easily the next morning. A friendly & responsive host.
The place is also strategic, with National Museum, town centre, and restaurants all within walking distance.
