Krong Preah Sihanouk hostels

Pros: Friendly Canadian couple, went there for 3 days ended up staying 3 weeks! Can’t wait to go back. Definitely the high light of my 3 months travelling. Most affordable drinks & food on the island.

Cons: Everything was great

Pros: I absolutely loved my stay at the last point.. it has a great hippie vibe and the whole team is super nice. It´s only a 2 minute walk to the other beach and you can do various activities like playing volleyball or boat trips. But hey, just pick a book, relax in the hammock and have one of the delicious pizzas. :) I hope this place will keep its chilled spirit and simplicity, I definitely will come back. Vielen lieben Dank für alles!

Cons: The stairs to the dorm were very steep/little dangerous in the dark, maybe the construction can be improved a little to make it more safe.

Pros: This place feels like home. I’m grateful that I have found such a Positive place! The staff were incredibly friendly, I love how there wasn’t any wifi which forced people to socialize. Great community of people and will absolutely consider going back!

Pros: The criteria do not apply to this hostel, its about being laid back, stepping out of the world a short while and being surrounded by kind caring people, go, this is pretty unique

Cons: That these lovely people battle with other people's litter, they work hard to keep it at bay but if the wind is wrong then it returns fast, fortunately it is rare, only 1 day I was there the litter could not be beaten otherwise paradise!

Pros: Paradise. Nice staff, good food, great vibes. You are on an island so accommodation is basic but does the job nicely.

Pros: The only saving grace is the food. The food was exceptional, but it’s prepared by a Cambodian family who’s tucked away and hardly interacts with the guests, it felt like the truest sense of colonialism that was sickening to witness.

Cons: My boyfriend and I booked three nights at the Last Point after having read a few positive reviews and reading about it in our 2017 Lonely Planet guide book. Our experience leads me to believe that The Last Point may have been a gem at some point, but that recently things have drastically changed; wether that be new management, different staff or some other major business change. Getting out to the island of Koh Ta Kiev was extremely difficult as they only have one boat that goes to the island every day at noon. We arrived around 15:00 and ended up paying $50 for a private water taxi to take us out there. Upon arrival we’d thought we’d booked the wrong place because nothing nearly remotely resembled the chill breezy vibes we had read in the reviews/our book. The most jarring thing once you get off the boat is the amount of trash on the island. The beach front and the facilities at The Last Point are flooded with garbage. Our first morning there we went for a walk on the beach and couldn’t even enjoy the view because we were dodging glass, plastic, styrofoam and other trash. We ended up filling up 4 large trash bags (from bags we found floating on the shore) full of garbage just to clear our path walking in the sand, this wasn’t looking at the tree line behind us that was substantially worse. We booked a beach bungalow that was filthy on the inside with dirty sheets, massive gaping holes in the mosquito net and trash scattered around the outside. The hostel is ran by Euro hippies whose chill vibe has morphed into an apathetic one that’s too drugged out to care about the guests, the island, or their deteriorating facilities. We ended up spending most of our time at the neighboring hostel called the “Kactus” who’s beach front was clean and grounds were cared for. If you go to Koh Ta Kiev do your self a favor and book your stay at the Kactus and walk over to The Last Point and see for your self that you’ve dodged the biggest bullet by not staying there.

Pros: The staff

Cons: All was amazing

Pros: The food was very tasty! Pizza's were the best on the menu :D Staff behind the bar were really friendly and helpful.

Cons: One of the owners came across as very rude, did not speak to the guests in a polite manner and we felt bad for even asking for a basic drink or food. Wanted to clean our clothes, but couldn't as the well was really low in water. On the evening, we felt as though we were looked down upon when people were doing the fire show because we were talking together- we didn't realise we had to stay silent when watching a performance.
