Pod Village by Independence Hotels Reviews

The cottages are quite dark & little, especially the bathroom where there is unfortunately no space to put cosmetics or similar. To get to the cottages you need to ride with the golf cart for about 3-4 min which is easy to be arranged by the reception desk but inconvenient if you want to be independent. Walking is not an option as there are many monkeys sitting & jumping around the way. The breakfast was very good with plenty of options for both Western & Asian taste.

Absolutely loved it! It felt like sleeping in your own nest. Super clean and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Just a short walk away from the beach!

We enjoyed a lot our stay in this hotel. The Pool with the view to the sea is just amazing! breakfast buffet was very big with a huge variety of delicious dishes. The Hotel has a private beach with beach lounger and towels whiche are for free for the hotel guests. It has also it's own restaurant with the most beautiful sunset sea view of Sihanoukville. There is also a very romantic walking road along the beach leading to the pool. Hotel staff is very helpful and friendly. They gave us an upgrade into a bigger room for very reasonable price and helped us with all requirements we had with high enthusiasm. Many Thanks to the hotel team, you are the best!! Happy New Year 2025!

One of the best hotels I have ever been to in Asia.  The staff is amazing and helpful - special thanks to Rida for assisting us. I cannot put in words how great the breakfast buffet is. Fantastic views, it is on the beach, great cocktails.  I would HIGHLY recommend for anyone traveling through Sihanoukville. You MUST stay one night and experience this.

Loved the look of these pods. It's beautiful and cute! Had a good variety of food

Extremely comfortable bed and a very charming pod.

Lovely place with mountain landscape and beach.

Staying in the Pods is definitely an experience. The property is huge. There are lots of amenities and restaurants to enjoy. The food is GOOD. We are at the Sunset restaurant on the beach and room service. Very good. Breakfast was ok. We had a great time on the beach. We were there all day. There’s towels and you can order drinks. The public beach is beside the property. The only damper on our experience was several (3 separate) Chinese guests (we know bc we live in China and speak Chinese) chose to start recording us and staring at the infinity pool. It almost ruined a very enjoyable day on the beach. Overall it was a good stay, and I would recommend that property. Other guests should be more considerate because it’s rude.

All great, good service, good food, the only thing there’s no small table and chairs in front of the hut. So basically you can’t sit outside. Also a bit dark in the bathroom, but overall great experience. Definitely worth it.

The hotel is nice. With wonderful nature around, monkeys running in the hotel area, nice rooms, although a little small with little space for stuff. The breakfast was very good. The staff was very polite and helpful. I liked that you could use any service around the hotel, like restaurant, spa and they will add the price to the bill and you pay during checkout. The ocean pool looked nice and clean. The beach itself wasn't very clean and it smelled a little sometimes.

Amazing atmosphere and there is a huge area belonging to the hotel (including restaurants, bars, beach and outdoor pools)

It was a peaceful stay, breakfast was good, gym has the beautiful view😍 we have arrived around 7am and they let us check in at 9. However, the hotel is located far from walking distance, you definitely need a transport. If you ask reception to help you order a tuktuk to the city center, they charge you 5$, when normal price is 2$. Same with the Laundry, everywhere is 1-2$/kg, and they charge 1-2$ per cloth.

Good, Nice, Silent & romantic.
