    not maybe people but the people you do meet are awesome

    awesome location with an amazing view, especially for sunrise, the absolute best. The food is okay so I would eat maybe somewhere else. The dorms were good value and although no ac it was cool enough with a fan and good mosquito net. the owner is the absolute coolest, and a very interesting guy, so definitely spend some time talking to him. he also has the best music and good reviews

    Everything. The view from the balcony when I arrived with the tide out was incredible. For someone who doesn't really care about the view from my accom here was on another level. Could sit there for ages just looking out at the water. The food from the ressie was so good, Walking around the village was amazing, even coming across an otter on the narrow road. The room was big and even tho there is no air cond or hot water it didnt make any difference. Tho it was cool at night and so hot during the day that hot water wasnt needed. Am sure will definitely come back.

    The location and the staff was just awesome. The rooms are very cute, right above the water. One has to know that the rooms are basic (as most of the accommodations are on the island). However if you can live without an AC then this place is just the right one for you as it offers a cozy outside space and a view you cannot miss.

    Nothing. It was all great

    Oh what a beautiful place this was. We stayed in both the dorm and the private room and it was just wonderful. The location on top of the water with fantastic views, the relax area, the comfy beds, the bucket shower, the coffee and the always changing but almost always positive and friendly people around made it really extra special. The internet was also good enough for working and there’s a delish cheapish restaurant nearby.

    I guess the only thing is that the Wi-Fi stopped working after 2 days. But when the Wi-Fi was working it was really good. A great place to work remotely while watching the sea.

    Firefly guesthouse is absolutely beautiful. I planned on only staying two nights, but kept extending. This is a place you don’t want to leave. Waking up at the riverside, having a swim and just watching the boats go by.. absolute bliss. The owner and his family are also so friendly and accommodating, and the food is so good and fresh. They also can make their dishes vegan. This is the perfect place is you want somewhere to just relax and take it all in. Really loved it there!

    Prices for food and drink are a little high, but I understand it because of the remote place.

    First of all the staff and family are always available to help. Incredible view for sunrise and sunset. Sleeping over the water was so peaceful, nice rooms and the deck is the main star of the place to meet people and to relax.

    You can't really believe how beautiful the view is from the terrace here. You can just sit and watch the local boats coming and going! Nice location, out of the way, and very quiet. The staff and locals are very friendly, there are a few other shops and food places nearby. The food at firefly is excellent and well priced. Lonely beach is 45 mins walk away, and really worth the trip. Beautiful and virtually.deserted. When you book a room, the manager will send you details of how to get to the village and offer you three options. I chose the village supply boat from Sihanoukville. This costs $7.50 and is a great way to arrive. The supply boat motors past Firefly, then you have a 5 minute walk back. The supply boat leaves from Pier 52 outside the Main Por.t, about 2 KM and 6000 Riel in Tuk Tuk .

    The location is a bit out of the way, with Lonely beach being at least a 40 minute walk. Aside from that all good.

    Lovely view, very quiet and has tasty food and places to chill out. Receptionist was very helpful.

    Cozy authentique place in the North of the island

    Rooms are basic, which is fine, but with really a little effort could be better. Light in the room is extremely low, which is not the best when you like reading. But you can read outside of course...

    Authentic wooden house on the water in a traditional fishing village in the north of the island. Cozy atmosphere, everything made out of wood. Nice view on the sea. Kayak available for free. Nice staff. Scooters also available for renting and it's probably the best way to explore the island. Close to Lonely Beach, a stunning beach with also lot of shade (10 minutes by scooter or 1 hour walking). Food was traditional, simple but good. The place is super quiet at night, with nothing to do closeby, which we really enjoyed. But if you're more a party type it's probably not your place since going to the main village in the south take about half an hour and at night feels even more.

    Honestly, I have nothing to write here.

    It's hard to list everything I liked about this place! Firstly, the location is truly out of this world, on top of the water in a beautiful and quaint fishing village with the mangroves. The sunrise is particularly beautiful if you can be bothered to get up early. Secondly, the staff are exceptionally kind and helpful! Especially the owner, he made use feel right at home and was happy to help with anything we needed, such as renting a motorbike and kayak. Also, the food was all very delicious and affordable with a few other places in the village too. Mainly, what my friend and I loved the most was the peace! It's such a small and quiet homestay so we felt relaxed and chill, but we also made some really cool friends here too.

    One night of loud, drunk French tourists.

    The location is fantastic, in a small fishing village on far north side of island. Quiet most of the time, far away from the crowds of drunk tourists. Han is a great host, the food is great, and you are only a 45 minute walk from Lonely Beach, one of the nicest spots on the island.

    This was such a unique stay in a quirky colourful fishing village. In a stilt house right on the water, the balcony was such a magical place to welcome the morning. Not much to do in the village, but walking distance to lonely beach where we spent most of our days

    Island. Everything expensive, everything far from here. I was unlucky, the weather was bad and it was difficult to leave island.

    Perfect view, friendly owner. Mosquito net over the bed. Socket by the bed.
