Nemo666999Funky Village was one of the most energetic and social places I stayed in Siem Reap. The moment you step through the door, you're greeted by a spacious courtyard, a large pool, and a 24-hour bar. The hostel feels like a small campus, with groups chatting or planning new activities in every corner.
The location is perfect: a 5-minute walk to Pub Street, and close to the night market and many restaurants. It’s also easy to get to temple tours; the reception usually helps with tours and transfers, making booking tickets and tours effortless. It was so easy to drop my bag and start exploring right away.
The rooms were spacious and clean; the dorm beds were comfortable, and the lockers were secure. The cleaning staff kept the common areas and bathrooms tidy, and the pool area was tidied up every morning. There are private room options too; it’s ideal for backpackers in terms of value for money. Wi-Fi is strong in common areas, though it can fluctuate in the rooms sometimes.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The cheerful receptionists gave travel tips, and the bar staff were both quick and chatty; they did their best to keep the hostel atmosphere lively. Thanks to night events, bar games, and pool parties, even solo travelers easily made friends.
The intense party and social life is its biggest advantage, but also its only drawback: it’s not ideal for those seeking quiet due to the noise that lasts until late at night. Bringing earplugs or requesting a quieter room might be helpful. During peak seasons, common areas get crowded; finding a spot by the pool can sometimes be a matter of luck.
Overall, if you want to meet new people, be close to nightlife, and have an energetic hostel experience, Funky Village is a great choice. If rest and tranquility are your priority, it would be better to opt for smaller, quieter boutique hostels in the city. For me, this was an unforgettable and fun stop for travelers looking to experience the social side of Siem Reap.

Daniel Tamaño WareAbsolutely perfect. The rooms are incredibly well-equipped, simply unbeatable. There are four swimming pools with relaxation areas, a fully equipped outdoor gym right by the pool, and a restaurant with a variety of dishes at excellent prices. A huge number of daily activities are available to help you socialize 100%, even if you're traveling solo. The staff are so lovely and always smiling. I highly recommend the small group Angkor Wat sunrise tour by tuk-tuk. This resort is an oasis, without a doubt the best in Siem Reap. It's also just a short walk from Pub Street and the markets.

けんちゃん(青団団長)I'm Japanese. I stayed for 2 nights from July 15, 2026. I previously reviewed this as a good hostel, but I need to correct that. It's an amazing hostel! It was so good that I extended my stay. There are very few downsides, but if I had to name them, the key cards break easily. I stayed a total of 3 days and they broke twice. They were replaced immediately at the front desk, but some people might find it stressful. Also, there's no water dispenser, so you have to ask the bartender on the 4th floor for water. It's free, but a bit of a hassle. Another thing is that the bicycle parking is unclear. When I tried to park outside, someone told me 'not here,' but then at night, the location changed again, and I was directed to a locked garage next door. There's a guard-like person there 24/7, so it's best to ask them. The cleaning staff is quite...

I used it on a man trip with a friend. It was a few minutes walk from Pub Street and in a very accessible location, and the price was the lowest in the downtown area. The room was clean, but if you are concerned, you need to be careful because the toilet and shower partitions get wet when you take a shower. And women may be concerned about that because they didn't have a dryer.

I stayed at Mad Monkey Siem Reap and honestly had a really fun experience. The vibe is super social and it’s very easy to meet new people, especially if you’re traveling solo. There are daily events, a pool area, and a bar where everyone hangs out, so it never feels boring.
The location is great — just a short walk to Pub Street and the night market, which makes it really convenient. The staff were friendly and helpful, and they made the atmosphere even better.
The rooms were decent and clean for a backpacker hostel. It can get a little loud at night because it’s a social place, but that’s kind of expected. If you want to party, meet people, and enjoy Siem Reap, this is a good choice. If you’re looking for something super quiet and private, maybe not.
Overall, I’d recommend it for solo travelers and anyone who wants a fun hostel experience in Siem Reap.
⭐️ 8.5/10

It’s a nice little hostel, it’s perfect for backpacks, solo travelers, small families or people who are just stopping by. I came here right before Khmer New Years and stayed for 3 nights in a little single room.
The price is affordable, especially for those who are traveling on a budget. Despite the low pricing, the room was up to standards, it was clean and had everything I needed.
The location was convenient, it was close to the main area of Siem Reap and a large short 20 minutes distance from Angkor Wat. Because it is further from the party district, I was able to get a quiet night sleep.
The restaurant had a mix of Cambodian and Western foods.
The staff were friendly, informative, helpful and welcoming. They spoke English and available 24/7.
I would stop by here the next time I’m planning on having a short term stay in Siem Reap!

The location is neither too central nor too far from the city, making it convenient for sightseeing. The staff were all friendly and I had a pleasant stay. I personally recommend this hostel.
There's also a hostel-run cafe on the first floor where you can eat and drink. I used the cafe and had breakfast there a few times.
It was a very enjoyable stay.

Posted on May 17, 2026|Deluxe Double Room With Balcony
Anonymous UserThe Darling pub hotel is located on a side street, not far from the city center, about a 10-minute walk at most. I think it has 4 floors; the top floor rooms offer a bit of a city view, but it depends on which side your room is on. Unfortunately, on one side, there's an empty lot full of trash bags with construction debris and other unsightly things....
However, other rooms face the hotel's pool and have balconies, which are quite comfortable with a table and chairs! Our room was a Deluxe with a balcony and had everything we needed. It was quite comfortable, with a Smart TV, electric kettle, cups, hairdryer, makeup mirror, bathrobe and towels, shower gel, shampoo, flip-flops, a small wardrobe, and a safe! The air conditioning works well and is quiet. The room is pretty well soundproofed, although you can hear a bit of street noise from the window... like the call to prayer from the nearby mosque, which happens about 3 or 4 times a day...
The only thing they should control more in the rooms are the flying bugs that often manage to get in, perhaps through some cracks in the windows or I don't know! Guests might not like them....
Overall, it's a good hotel, and I would recommend it. The staff are very friendly and help as much as they can!
