According to the website, Veranda is “the perfect destination for those seeking tranquility…” and so we booked a night to escape the noise of a ceremony next to our house. Upon arrival we had to change rooms as there was also a very loud ceremony near the hotel. The second twin room was quieter but seemed like a downgrade from our original double room. Later that night there was also very loud karaoke in the vicinity, which was disturbing in our room; the hotel said there was nothing they can do if the noise isn’t from their hotel. In the morning we woke up to loud construction work noise about 100m away. There was quite allot of burning in the area, so it is quite smokey too, when you sit in the restaraunt or out in your balcony. Overall, not my idea of tranquility. Seems hard to find any peace and quite location with fresh air in Cambodia these days; which is very sad. Such a shame as the hotel is very beautiful, staff were friendly and the breakfast was quite good. In the end it was a waste of a trip, time and money :(
A lovely hotel with friendly staff and a lovely clean swimming pool.
Breakfast was excellent for the price paid.
Bit noisy during the day at present as they are having a new extension to the hotel being built.
Food in the restaurant is good value and drinks were reasonably priced.
Could do with having relaxing chairs in the bar area as it lacks a cosy place to enjoy a drink.
We will definitely be staying again.
Saravoan has the best location in Kep, overlooking a great little beach with excellent views of the islands,we have been staying there for holidays every year for the last nine years in which time a few managers have come and gone, the amenities have not changed much but quiet rustic and suit the rainforest environment,they now serve a free breakfast which this time was very good, service was as usual pretty good, sometimes requires patience but they are always helpful,to reception is poor and always has been but wifi is fine,pool is still clean and in great spot with views, moto rents are cheap and it’s a lovely ride to the crab market around the foreshore about one kilometre away, there are plenty of fancier hotels in Kep now but if you like location, views,close restaurants and reasonable service this one is the best hands down!
We were nicely welcomed and checked in very easily. The bungalow was quite roomy, a little hot but we had a mobile fan that was just enough. We were right in front of the swimming pool which was accessible even at night so we had one last dip to refresh before going to bed. The vegetation between the bungalows made for a nice and relaxing atmosphere.
The conditions of the farmhouse are not very good. The place is quite remote. The boss is quite polite. But the house is too small and there is no drinking water inside. I left after one night. It is too far away and the transportation is not convenient. You should not stay here in the future.
