Khmer Hands was a highlight of our trip to Cambodia. The staff were amazing, so helpful and welcoming, and it was great to hear about the education centre and all the work they do there. The house was so much fun to stay in, you feel like you’re really in the nature! There’s also a great restaurant right on site where you can watch the sunset. If you have the opportunity to stay here please do!

I wish there was a swimming pool to cool off :)

Everything is great about Kris and Naome's place. The location is great, close to the national park, walkable distance to the Crab Market. Each bungalow is traditionally built to high standard, with natural ventilation and mosquito net to make the sleep comfortable. The hosts run a training centre for the local youth and there is a craft shop on site, so that makes it even more worth visiting. And the local foods in the onsite restaurant are simply delicious.

Such a special place with a special story. Owned by an American who has lived in Cambodia for 15 years. He has developed Kymer Hands as an inclusive venture for the local community, building a school along with a hand craft shop and cafe in the town. The accommodation is a series of rustic bungalows in a lovely setting about a 15 minute walk out of town. They are basic but comfortable with good toiletries, coffee/tea making facilities a comfortable bed plus a fan and mosquito net. I loved my time there.. it was tranquil and surrounded by nature. I was made to feel so welcome as soon as I arrived by the lovely Nary. She was amazing…. so helpful with everything including arranging a Tuk Tuk driver to take me to Kampot at the end of my stay with a stop off to visit La Plantation Pepper Farm. The food at the restaurant was delicious. I only had a short stay but I felt like part of the family … even the gorgeous family kitty was friendly and took a liking to my lap!

These aren’t complaints, just items to consider if you’re in a standard bungalow: Fan doesn’t work straight away but give it time and it will kick in! Mosquito nets have holes and do let small insects in but thankfully not mosquitoes. The standard bungalow has a roof but is not sealed and is exposed to the outside so make sure to have repellant and be prepared to see ghekos, frogs, cockroaches etc. I don’t think all bungalows are like this but you’ll obviously pay more.

Able to check in early Nice staff and really helpful with information on trips and taking food orders Lovely and quiet. I don’t think there was many there when I stayed but I’d say even if it’s full it’s still peaceful. Food is lovely and made to order. I had breakfasts, lunch and dinner and they were all superb. Restaurant/bar is a nice place to chill For me it was within walking distance to the crab market and National park but I would recommend getting back before dark if you’re walking. It’s not an unsafe area but there are a few dogs. The hammocks and rest places outside are really good.

Everybody was very kind and friendly, the restaurant and terrace where we had breakfast offer a splendid view of the sea, and the design of the bungalows and the whole resort is beautiful, especially the endeavour to incorporate traditional Khmer architecture and handicraft.

Beautiful place. Stunning surroundings with lovely staff. The accomodation was everything you could wish for, the food being a particular highlight, really tasty! We loved the natural peaceful surroundings and easy access to town and attractions. The manager was great, we could have talked to him forever about the local area and Khmer culture. If you get chance too it's definitely worth visiting their Khmer Hands cafe in town too, again great food and lovely craftshop! We could defy have stayed longer!

Unfortunately (for me, I was walking wise handicapped and the steep stairs towards the resto we're quite a challenge . But the guys who ran. the place we're really great, carried Things for me, brought Drinks, carried bags etc. The huts/ Bungalows are a couple of kms from Beach, Crab Market, boat Pier to Rabitt Island, So you need a moto to Rent or Order via PassApp (Same as Grab) for max 2$a Tuktuk.

Friendly, helpful staff, Location in the forest, includi g the occasional monkey( No Open food!) WiFi okay, menu very good/they are with the Artist Café in Crab Market , so good Mix of asian and Western, bit pricier than the local Khmer eateries , Not the fancy french expat places...

The food was very good, the bungalows are really nice. It was quiet and we could rent a scooter for 6 dollars, which is a very good price. The room smelled so good!

these properties are really lovely and you feel so secluded in nature. Chris and his family were so welcoming and gave us any information on the local area/onward travel whenever we asked. Sleeping in these bungalow style homes really make you feel a part of nature.

The staff was distant and “cold”. Food was acceptable, a bit bland, nothing extraordinary.

Beautiful main house with spacious terrace. Gorgeous garden, cute and well equipped bungalows. At the foot of the mountains, very green environment. Very quiet and clean property. Near the crab market. Cocktails are nicely served.

Exceptional host – Kris and exceptional place. There is a group of traditional small houses – bungalows, we had this one on stilts, amazing experience. Very silent place close to the National Park in the mountain. Bicycles/bikes for rent available on site. Food – exceptional like almost everything there, traditional Khmer cuisine. Not so far to Kep city and beach, but not in walking distance. Kris-all the best and very big thank you, we had amazing time in your hotel.

The whole atmosphere of the place and the lovely staff and owner. It was a very peaceful oasis. They were very accommodating holding onto our luggage while we made a trip up to Phnom Penh.

If you are happy walking, and I am, this is a great location on the edge of the National Park and within easy walking distance of the Kep Crab Market. The bungalows are rustic, have hot showers and are comfortable. The restaurant and bar are great with excellent friendly staff.
