Homestays in Koh Ta kiev Island

Time slows down on this island. I really enjoyed my stay, it is easy to (re)connect with yourself and nature - walking barefoot every day all day, jumping in the sea or just chilling in the bar area reading or talking with fellow guests. There is yoga every morning - a great start of the day. I stayed in the female dorm, there was enough space, bed was comfy. There is storage for your bags under the beds. There is charger and small reading lamp by every bed. You can see the bioluminescent planktons every night directly from the beach or you can go on a boat tour which is very much fun. The beach is so long (and clean) you can easily find a spot to be just by yourself. Trekking in the jungle is also a nice option, there are trails to other beaches on the island. There are sandflies but I did not find them as bothering.

The hospitality provided by Vipul and his wife Sorya. They were very warm and helpful during the needed hour. The ambience was so homely and calm. It was easy for us to order food. Rooms were maintained well.

The Area: The hotel is located in a very remote area, making it an ideal spot for a complete disconnect. However, reaching the hotel from the city costs around $12-15 USD by car. Tuk-tuks are not available here, so your only options for getting around are bicycles, motorbikes, or a car with a driver provided by the hotel. Sihanoukville is not a typical tourist destination, so prices are much higher compared to Siem Reap or Phnom Penh. There are only two massage centers, which were difficult to locate, and most locals don’t speak English. Restaurants are scarce, and there are no English menus available. The Hotel: The property consists of attractive villas split into two separate areas about 500 meters apart. The pool villas are in the main area, while the garden villas are located outside. In the standard villa area, there’s no mobile network coverage, but the Wi-Fi works fine, albeit slow by European standards. The mattresses are "Thai style." The overall environment is cozy and perfect for meditation. A peaceful, empty beach is just 10 minutes away, and there’s also a stunning temple nearby, one of the most serene I’ve ever visited. Since there are no restaurants in the vicinity, the only dining option is the hotel menu, which offers six basic dishes, primarily rice or vegetables. I’d recommend the manager consider adding noodle or soup options to the menu. The garden villas lack chaise lounge chairs, which makes it less comfortable to relax. I requested one, and they kindly provided it (thank you so much for that!), but I strongly encourage the owner to purchase some for all garden villas. Unfortunately, buying one yourself isn’t an option due to the non-touristic nature of the area. Drinking water is always available. The Beach: The beach is completely empty, which is a plus, but it’s dirty and plagued with sandflies that are relentless in their attacks.

Perfect. The best place we have been so far in our trip. Everything new and clean. Staff really helpful and polite.

The room was fantastic, 4 months in sth east Asia and I find this little gem !!! Price fair, wifi perfect , bed so comfy, staff happy 😊, room so clean, desk inside, good size fridge to , everything I liked, location nice to I honestly would go back !! I'm not understanding of some of the reviews tho, most are good but some not that good, I've stayed in so many places in my 4 months in vietnam, Laos and Cambodia , this was one of the best !!!

What I love about this property is how welcoming and homey it feels. The room is cozy and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax. The price is incredibly affordable, which makes it even better. The staff is friendly and always willing to assist, ensuring a seamless stay. I can definitely see myself returning here for an extended stay in the future, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort and great value

The apartment was clean and had everything needed for a comfortable night’s stay. It’s very close to the bus station, which is super convenient if you arrive late at night or have an early departure. The surroundings are calm, with a nice rural vibe. The host was very pleasant and welcoming.

Everything was perfect, clean, spacious room, AC, new lift. Great location.

The room is big and complete. It has 2 aircondition, dining table, private toilet and a balcony. It is affordable. Has a few options for restaurant outside.

The bed was amazing and we slept so well
