    We absolutely loved our time on koh rong sanloem and at Sam’s guesthouse. She was absolutely amazing and helped us with anything we needed. She gave us loads of information about the island, recommended places which were good to eat and any events that were happening and she was always up for a chat. We wanted to stay an extra night as we loved it and she happily accommodated us at a discounted price which was fab! The room was lovely, and perfect for what we needed for a few nights. The rooms do get quite hot obviously but there is a fan. It’s in such a good location too, a couple minute walk to the beach and lots of bars and restaurants around. If you’re thinking of staying on koh rong sanloem I would highly recommend here! The island does experience some power cuts but they didn’t last long at all and weren’t an inconvenience for us, but it’s not any of the hotel/guesthouses fault so don’t blame them for it.

    The room got quite hot due to there being no air con and only a fan, however this was expected and still think it was very good value for money

    The hosts were absolutely amazing, they were really friendly and helpful. The accommodation was clean and the location was great, really good value for money.

    From the beginning Sam was so helpful. Before we even arrived she was able to help us out with boats and arrival to the island. Once we arrived she was so helpful and made us feel so so welcome! Truly went above and beyond. The location was perfect, fabulous bedroom, fabulous bathroom (and warm shower!) and beautiful pets! A must stay in Samloem. Thank you for everything Sam! Xx

    Sam and her other half was brilliant! So helpful and accommodating! Sam organised my diving even before I got to the island and when I arrived she patched me up as I had a fall earlier in the day on my bike and then carried on to help me for the rest of the time with patches! If you find yourself on the island I would definitely stay here! So clean and peaceful. I extended another night as just didn’t want to leave!

    We weren’t always able to use the social area as it wasn’t really communal, more for the people who stayed there permantly.

    Good location, nice and chilled area. Sam wasn’t there when we stayed but was helpful over text!

    Omg - Where do I start? Sam is lovely! The house is lovely! The village is lovely! This whole island is lovely!! The moment it set a foot on M‘Pai Bay I decided that I would like to stay longer. Sam made it happen ♥️ she’s such a great host! Always helping you out and gives you a lot of information about what’s going on on the island, where to eat, where to chill etc. she always took care of me and was checking if everything is ok. Thanks Sam!♥️ The room has everything you need for an unforgettable stay. The perks of traveling is that you meet great people and great places. But the downside is that you have to say goodbye to them ♥️

    The room was simple but enough to stay there for a few days. It was clean and it had a fun in case of warm nights. The owner, Sam, was very nice and gave to us all the useful info about the best places to eat, to book activities…We enjoyed it there!

    Excellent home stay with a friendly laid back host. Sweet cats and dogs roaming around. Comfortable, clean room with a fan. No problems with mosquitos in the room and doesn't get too hot. Sam is very helpful and knowledgeable and gives the best advice what to do around the area and where to eat. Don't be put off by the number of reviews as the place is fairly new. Would have loved to stay longer. Highly recommend!

    Sam was the best host ever, she knew the best spots for snorkelling, where to go to see the plankton at night, best places to eat in town, best routes for hiking. MPai Bay is a small place but we would have had to go on private tours to do all the things we did if we hadn't had Sam's advice.

    Sam is an awesome host. She has all of the intel on the best places to eat, drink, snorkel etc. She knows all of the owners of the local restaurants and can tell you when and what is open as some of the restaurants have irregular opening times. We found our stay at Sam’s Place very comfortable and Sam made us feel totally welcome. The room was quiet and clean and there are outside soft chairs and sofa to relax. The beach is about 50 metres away; the mini Mart about 20 metres away. Highly recommended.

    It's a new guesthouse and very clean with really nice en-suite room. Really nice after travelling in hostels for so long. Very close to the beach and shops/restaurants. Sam was a great host and had many recommendations for the best places to eat and knew everything there was to know about things to do. (Thanks again for the poker games too!!). She even helped us book our onwards travel. The dog is very funny, we had a great night with him singing for us! Thanks again, we would highly recommend and hope to visit again in the future.

    A bit run down sink in the bathroom just poured out onti the floor which was a bit strange.

    Perfectly fine, could borrow snorkelling equipment
