Guest Testimonials

A truly transformative experience in nature.

2 Mar. 2023

The service at the Hotel Samanea was exceptional. There was absolutely no issue that was not addressed timely and with satisfactory results. We were particulary impressed with how the hotel staff anticipated our needs (periodically coming by the Board Room to check with us). Numerous conference attendees commented on the quality of the food, the quality of the service and overall positive attitude toward the conference site.

My stay at Samanea was truly unforgettable. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with genuine warmth and attention. The room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and offered a stunning view of the surrounding landscapes. Every detail, from the comfort of the bedding to the high-quality amenities, was carefully designed for guests’ well-being. The service was impeccable—the staff anticipated my needs before I even expressed them. Staying here felt like experiencing both modern elegance and authentic Cambodian hospitality. I leave with wonderful memories and a strong desire to return.
