The staff were incredibly friendly! the only bad thing were the 8o'clock cries and banging on the door from housekeeping. there must be a better way to work out whether people are in their room than shouting housekeeping till they anser, asleep or not.

Everything was great. My only concerns were that I had scheduled a free airport pick up, but the pick up never arrived. I had to pay $7 for a ride to the hotel.

My only concerns were that I had scheduled a free airport pick up, but the pick up never arrived. I had to pay $7 for a ride to the hotel. I also scheduled a wake-up "knock" for 7:00 a.m. that never happened. But I had the Villa pizza that was amazing, and everything was very stylish for the price. Again, I was pretty disappointed by the two lapses in service at the airport and in the morning.close

It is the best place you could ever stay. It is not just because all it got to offer, but for all the concept around the hotel. Staying there wasnot just a pleasure, but a privilege.

A bit noisy next door but you get that in asia. Food was average but they made excellent cocktails and shakes. The lessor, Anthony, was excellent in helping with all sorts of info of where and when to go in Siem Reap. Location was very good - far enough away from the backpacker action but within easy walking distance to the town. All in all, an excellent place to stay.close

Really clean place with big rooms and great bar / restaurant. We had some issues with the lunch packs they do to take with you to the temples. It's a great idea but became a bit of a comedy of errors. It shouldn't put you off staying here. It is a great place. Just make sure your lunch order has...

The rest of the staff were just excellent. Very friendly, spoke very good English, and very prompt. If all goes well for you, then The Villa Siem Reap is a lovely place to stay. However, I would like to advise all future guests - PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE WRITTEN CONFIRMATION ABOUT ALL CHARGES, INCLUDING EXCURSION CHARGES. Do not allow for surprises when the final bill is being added up. Anthony never mentioned to us the full charges of excursions outside of the Angkor area, and then got into a long argument with us, insinuating that we are poorly informed, whereas it was he who had not informed us properly. He also went back on the rate he had quoted over the phone to a couple of our friends who had booked independently of us, directly with him. It is not the amount of money that bothers us, but the principle of the thing. I do like all rates and charges being told to me upfront, and then if I choose, I know exactly what I am getting into. I hate surprises and I hate having to deal with owners such as Anthony. Another sad note about Anthony is that it is quite clear to see that he was treating our group way different than other guests in the property, clearly because our group was from India. During the time we were trying to work out the differences in billing, he kept talking to a couple of cute ladies with small talk about the weather and where in Australia were they from, etc etc, whereas he would have rather dispensed with the small talk and attended to more urgent matters and not leave us hanging for 7 minutes (I was timing it by my watch). In short, a lovely place to stay, but I cannot tolerate the attitude of the owner. Sorry Anthony, I would have loved to give you more business, but I already directed two other groups to other hotels.close

I would definitely recommend this place to anyone on a first time trip to Siem Reap. The staff are wondeful - so friendly and helpful. The driver that picked us up from the airport (with a beer may I add!) was also great and took us to places that we may never have visited. His English was excellent so the trips were made even better by getting a feel for the history of Cambodia. We will certainly be staying here again!

All was cleaned up every day, you had an air-condition (Siem Reap in November is hot!!) - what more do you like. The pick up at the airport was very friendly with welcome drink, the driver we got through the hotel very good and nice. Concerning the food in the hotel, well we are germans. We don't really like this sort of western fast-food. I don't think in a country with this great food you need to take sandwhiches to the temple, we did it the first day and didn't like them, you find quite better - and cheaper - ways to eat in the temple area, the drivers know where. All in all it was a very great Journey, Angkor Wat is great and I will always return to this hostel. It is nice to come back to such an quiet and warm place near to the old market area where it has really great restaurants, bars etc. Greetings from cold Germany to the team of the Villa - we really enjoyed it!!!!close

It is a little more expensive than other hostels and guesthouses and so there are not as many young people around but the rooms, facilities and service is definitely worth spending the money. If you are traveling as a couple or in a group, I would highly recommend it but if you are traveling alone, it might be best to go to one of the cheaper and more bustling places in town. Overall, well worth the money and no complaints!close

The room was gorgeous and clean, the food in the restaurant great but best of all was the personal service provided by the Aussie owners and the very helpful Khmer staff! From advice to what temples to go to at what time of day to organising a trip a jungle temple and arranging an experienced driver for the week, it was just wonderful. 5 minutes walking distance of downtown. Maybe not the place to party with backpackers but I met some very nice people and had the holiday of a lifetime, thanks in part to The Villa Siem Reap. Plus its purple!close
