    Location is 20-30 minute walk to centre which isn’t a problem- other than the fact it’s along a main road. Also the dorm doors didn’t have a lock and were near the main front door

    Great property, lovely pool and lovely staff. The beds felt very private and comfortable. The free water was great

    This is an awesome place. I had such a great time. I kept extending my stay. Please take good care of the little “Peach” and the beautiful mango trees!

    The events - Taco Tuesday and live music, Karaoke etc. The private rooms are spacious. The scooter rentals are very affordable. The pool and outdoor bar area is great. There are board games and table tennis available for additional entertainment. Happy Hour at both bars. Free water refill. Cool merchandise and reception had information for sightseeing/tours and restaurants/bar recommendations. Very laidback atmosphere.

    The staff were so helpful and kind, and it’s such a cool place! I extended twice because I was enjoying my time here so much. The taco night / live music on Tuesday night was awesome too!! The AC was great and the rooftop was a really nice area. Would absolutely recommend this place to anyone staying in Kampot!

    Hired motorbike for 2 days from the hostel - helmets supplied were really gross sadly. They also tried to give us a late return fee but we had paid 2 days upfront and was actually early returning it. Squeaky doors which woke us during the night from other dorms.

    Really comfortable bed, nice decor, lovely shower. Good large sized room. Staff friendly, nice social vibe. Food was all good, cheap beer.

    Would have been perfect if there was hammocks and chill space in the shade in the garden.

    Friendly staff, comfortable room live music relaxing by the pool. I really enjoyed my stay at karma. Its within walking distance from kampot town or 4-500 Riel's by tuk tuk.

    The pool had no shade so it was not usable during mid day. Lots of people seem to use it during the morning and at dusk.

    Room was clean with AC and a nice view. The whole place is open plan and it really does feel like staying in the countryside. Great staff and roof bar, in fact lots of people who don't stay at Karma Traders come just for the bar which often has live music. Good food and affordable drinks. Free water refills available.

    It’s a bit too far from the center for me be sus I don’t drive a scooter , but it’s probably fine if you do. There is not much going around the hostel (coffee , food…)

    There is a lot to like here =] the pool is great , the beds are suuuuuper comfy , the food is good , the place is clean , it looks nice , there is a cat going around … it’s great ! Best thing might be the staff tough =] very friendly , helpful, funny too ^^ Su was especially very nice and helpful, she made the stay even better =]

    You need to take a Tuk Tuk to go to the city center (cheap) or you can rent a scooter at the reception (this is perfect to also explore the surroundings)

    The swimming pool and the rooftop bar/restaurant were very nice! The staff also was very nice ! It is a good place to meet people during the events organized in the week

    I didn't mind too much but the hostel is slightly outside of the city center. That makes it more quiet most of the time. But if you want to go out in the city center, you either have to get a tuktuk, rent a scooter or walk for 30mins. For me that wasn't a problem but if you want to stay more in the busy area of Kampot, this place might not be the one for you.

    I loved this hostel. It got recommended to me by a girl i met in Laos and I understand why. There is a lot of social events going on in the evenings (Friday: Open Mic, Sunday: Trivia, Tuesday: Taco Tuesday) and that makes it really easy to meet new people. There's also a swimming pool with a bar that you can hang out at. The view from the rooftop bar is really pretty as well, good for watching the sunset :) I ended up coming here multiple times and always met cool new people. The staff was really nice as well! There's free water refills, which is always a pro. It's also a pretty popular spot for expats to hangout and meet. They have multiple different dorms to choose from. There is one that kind of has little boxes that your bed is in which offers the most privacy. It might also be the loudest though because they're right under the rooftop bar, so depending on how long the music plays that night, you might hear it in your dorm :) They also have dorms in shipping containers in the garden. Since they're not in the main building, it can be quieter. The first time i stayed there, i was in a 4-bed-dorm in the main building. I was fine with the room but other people might not like that the top bunks in this room didn't have curtains. These are the dorms i stayed in - there might be more options.

    Absolutely fantastic hostel! My favourite hostel during my 3 month travels so far. Really comfy beds, air con, great relaxed atmosphere in the rooftop bar. If you like social but non party hostels, this is perfect!
