Good stay for Angkor Wat
Very basic but good value! Comfy bed. Close to Pub Street. No kettle or fridge but the can of iced coffee from 7/11 stayed cool overnight so we didn’t mind lol. We regretted the lack of aircon a bit but only because my husband is a large boy who runs warm. The fan was fine for me.

This property was well located with easy walking distance to everything you need in town. At check in the man at the desk tried to tell me that I had booked a room with fan only. I had deliberately booked a double room with aircon and fan as the weather is very hot and I need aircon to sleep in 30 degree weather. He tried several times but I did not budge and he reluctantly gave me a remote for the aircon. The bedroom and bathroom are quite run down but appropriate for price point. The bed was comfortable. The air con made a noise when starting but that went away after about half an hour . The room wasn't serviced however I was only there for 3 nights so thay wasn't an issue. On the second morning I had a 4.45am pick up for Angkor Wat sunrise. When I arrived downstairs I found the metal gate at the front of the property was locked and there was no way to exit. I reentered the main entrance and there was nobody there. I called out, progressively louder, before someone woke up and came to open the gate.

Needs renovation
I was booked to a two bed room instead of a single bed. My room was not cleaned for a day. I suggest not booking tours and tuktuks through the hotel as they add extra dollars of the actual costs. It needs to be renovated as the sink in the toilet is about to collapse and the bathtub is not working. However, the owner is really really nice.

Clean, friendly and incredibly cheap. Your basic necessities - and then some - are taken care of. Always tuk-tuks right outside, should you need a ride beyond walking range. But you'd better have something else to do in Siem Reap than hanging around the house.

Lovely guesthouse. Have stayed here twice now and both times have been perfect and hassle free. Family run guesthouse who will help you with anything you need. Rooms spacious and clean. Great food. Located on a lovely little street 10 mins walk away from pub street. Single rooms have cold water so worth spending a couple of extra dollars for hot water in a double room. Can't wait to stay here again :)

Chilled place in a very simple setting
Amazing guest house with spacious rooms. It is a nice experience as the family who runs it are always around and they are happy to interact. Breakfast is delicious and it is served in a large table where you get to interact with other guests. It is very quiet and the street leading up to it is safe and calm. I can recommend this place and will stay with them again in the future.

Good value
The location of the hostel is great as it is in a calm lane and not around the city center crowded area. The service is helpful and kind, and they serve nice food and free drinking water. The room was ok, a good deal for the price.

I arrived late in the evening and was picked up from the airport. When l arrived at the hotel staff were happy to provide advice and organize trips around the city and Angkor Wat. The room was comfortable and clean. Air conditioning was an optional extra but I did not need it. There was a good WiFi connection. Breakfast was included. One negative was the lack of a safe or locker to keep valuables in. Overall great value for the budget traveler.

First Few Nights in Siem Reap
As per other reviews, the family is really nice. They're always smiling at you and they all speak English well. The area is a little farther than other places to the center of town, but it's still only a 12 minute fast walk or a $1.50 tuktuk ride away. There were a few ants on the bed and bathroom, but it was really no problem. The bathroom door of room #9 almost didn't open, so I thought I'd be trapped for the night haha.

Guest House
Owner was friendly. Room was okay. Furniture was basic and bed was comfortable. Old style tv on a stand near the ceiling. Was annoying to watch that high up. Should be on a table. Breakfast was okay. Wifi worked in the room. For two days, there was no water in the room. This wasn't the hotels fault. It was new year and city can't handle water when many people are there. Some minor electricity outages in the area. People in the city burn garbage, including plastic, at night till early morning. You smell this in the room sometimes and most of the city. The city needs to stop that.

I really enjoyed my stay at Bun Kao's Guesthouse. Mr. Kao and his family were really lovely and welcoming and the location is good, a quiet street off Wat Bo road, near the river and 10 minutes walk from the old market. The room itself was clean and comfortable.
