  Great Stay

  Liked : Lovely large room with comfortable beds and pillows. We were on the ground floor but there wasn’t a problem with noise at all. Room felt the most homely we’ve had in our travels. Nice lamps, pictures and even plants. Large tv with lots of channels. Great location. Would definitely recommend The Magic Sponge.

  Disliked : Fridge would have been a bonus but not a problem. Missed having a mirror by a plug to dry my hair but again that’s a minor issue.

  Excellent place to stay

  Liked : The owner was friendly and the hospitality was excellent overall. The room was comfortable and had all the basics covered and more. The grounds were nice and good location.

  Disliked : The shower could have been a bit hotter and higher pressure but was still plenty sufficient.

  A lot of hotel owners and managers should visit to see how to run a hospitality business. Thank you William

  Liked : The property is run by William. He does all the booking, check ins and departures, he also finds time to run the restaurant, bar, maintenance, helpful tourist advice and booking of transport. He has a small team of staff which he looks after. Nothing is of any trouble and you are made to feel very welcome. The theme is to Chill out and that’s how you feel whilst staying at The Magic Sponge. The in room entertainment is top class and with the clearest of picture on the screen providing enough selection to keep you entertained. The food is of very high standard with an extensive menu using quality products than most hotel cheap brands.
  There are plenty of areas to enjoy around the grounds including crazy golf (9 hole) and 2 pool tables under the nice smelling pink jasmine pergola.

  Disliked : Leaving

  Clean and welcoming homestay in Kampot

  Liked : The host is a very friendly American man and helped to organis motorbike hire, taxi to the airport, and gave us a room upgrade. Welcome drinks were well appreciated. The fried cheese balls are delicious. Quiet street. Rooms are clean and spacious.

  Disliked : The outdoor area and pool tables could do with a cleaning and some maintenance

  Just a one day stopover for us but wish we’d had longer as there is plenty to explore

  Liked : It started with the warm welcome and accompanying beer. William is a great host, ready to provide information on request but not in any way overwhelming. The bar was cool, the breakfast was indeed voluminous but also delicious. Really enjoyed the Kampot vibe too.
