The Funky Village

Comme c'était la basse saison, j'ai pu rester seule dans une chambre pour femmes de 4 lits. Ces chambres privées se trouvent du côté opposé de l'auberge, vous devez donc traverser la route pour accéder à la piscine, au bar et aux équipements de la réception. Le Wi-Fi n'atteint pas l'autre bâtiment, j'ai donc dû apporter mon ordinateur portable et travailler dans le bâtiment principal sous la chaleur. De plus, c'est une auberge de jeunesse pour faire la fête, alors faites attention à la musique forte et constante du bar.

Expectation/Reality: The rooms and the photos were pretty close, and you will get pretty much what you expect. The bed is a foam top which isn't bad. Security: Generally secure. No safe, and the key is attached to the bracelet, but the location and the space felt secure. Hygiene: Generally good. You may have to ask for fresh towels, but the space itself was clean. Hospitality: Quite good, everyone speaks english and is fairly competent. Social Atmosphere: WARNING this is a party hostel. Music will be playing until mid night, so if you want to sleep early you need very good ear plugs. There's lots of events and lots of people to socialize with, typically they are around 21-22 years old, but there are older and younger, generally a good crowd. The volunteers organizing the events are just OK and doing their job, not the most keen or enthusiastic, but reasonably good enough. Overall: Good value for a private room. Good location to see the touristy sights. BEWARE don't book transport through the hostel. It seems convenient but it not a good experience. You get picked up by a tuk tuk, dropped off outside of town and wait by the side of the road were no one speaks english to get into a jam packed into van with broken AC, and no one speaks english, the van left about an hour behind schedule and when arriving at Phnom Penh, it was a dodgy experience, getting into another van alone to be dropped off into the next hostel. It was an uncomfortable adventure, but I did arrive safe, but if i did it again I would book transport through a provider with more direct responsibility.

Not good idk why.
