85%Golden Temple Villa

A very nice place wth great facilities. It's great value for money, restauant at the hostel was good, our Tuk Tuk driver was fantastic. Reception & restaurant staff were a bit hot and cold (sometimes friendly, sometimes dismissive)... Definitely stay here again if we come back to Siem Reap!!

The atmosphere of this place is awesome and the staff were fantastic besides one of the reception staff. He made us feel like we weren't very welcome at times and tended to be a bit arrogant.

Loved the TukTuk driver and the manager was very warm and helpful. The reception staff however was rude and unhelpful

Staff was not very accommodating. Promised pick up and we even re-confirmed, but still there was no one to pick us up. When we arrived (by ourselves) and informed the staff they didn't seem to care. when approaching staff they were mosly sleeping...

Missed my flight back to KL as they didn't wake me up though i told them and they even confirmed twice to do so. Didn't get a refund or sth. Nevertheless the hostel itself is okay though some of the staff is a little bit unfriendly when you just ask for small things.

Beautiful room and hospitaliy. Really made our stay in Cambodia a great one. Their tours were great too: 3 day driver at a great rate. Can't go wrong. Food could have been better - loads of restaurants 5 mins away though.

Simply awesome. The Internet is free, but it gets pretty slow once everyone is using the computers (practically unworkable) so if Internet is your main draw consider elsewhere. But the rooms were clean and extremely comfortable and they helped us take care of everything we needed for our touring.

Absolutely wonderful hotel. Wonderful garden and terrace for lounging about after a day at the temples and really great staff. The location, near pub street, is centrally located but on a quiet street. I'm only sad I couldn't stay longer!

It was cheap and great and I had a wonderful time visiting the sites. -The location is good. ATMs and convenience stores are nearby, and for food, bar street was right around the corner. It's a little far from the sites, but it didn't matter because of cheap tuk-tuk rides.close

Free massage, free lemon juice, free fruit, cheap bus tickets to Phnom Penh, pool table, movie nights, really friendly staff, nice atmosphere, really reasonable price. What more could you ask for? Only problem was that the internet was slow - although this seems to be the case throughout Cambodia, as they all run a 64kb internet connection. The best place we've stayed in out of all our travels through China, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Japan!close

Very good hostel... Needs to improve the hot water system (not much water to the upper rooms), but is a great place! BTW, is you need help in deciding about your day-trips, talk to Daney - she is one of the staff members, very competent, friendly and honest. A good tuc-tuc driver is Vutha:...

The highlight of them accommodating us was when we brought back a small assortment of strange veggies we found in the market and they agreed to make a soup from them for our dinner. Very charming.

Loved everything about the Golden Villa. The staff were great, always smiling, and willing to help. The boys in the restaurant are hillarious! Rooms were stylish and clean, food was excellent. A must stay for anyone visiting Siem Reap.

This place was great! It came recommended from friends and was one of the nicest places we've stayed at. Free internet, welcome drink and 20 minute massage! Nice! The staff were super friendly and the rooms had a lot of character. The bathrooms were fine but not as nice as the rest of the room.

Shower taps are problematic. The water flow is very small. We had 3 rooms and 2 of them have this problem. Do check and rectify the problem. Other than this, my stay at Golden Temple Villa has been great!

Cool looking place: like a resort hotel! The restaurant is cheap and has good food, and the free massage was wonderful. We had a problem with their tuktuk pickup though, and they acted quite cold to us because of that. Overall high recommendation.

It is very picturesque, very close to the main eats/bars/markets in Siem Reap and it is easy to grab a tuk tuk at any hour from the end of the street. Free internet, excellent restaurant & interesting movies about Cambodia on offer. Our room was a bit small but staff were always friendly, air con & hot water in abundance and it is a really cute hotel on a quiet street. Would definitely recommend.close
