This was my second stay at a Yellow Star. I had to come back for the amazing staff, delicious food and cutie doggies ❤️

Stayed in April 2024

Very loud dogs during the night kept me up, but nothing to do with the place itself. Just something to be aware of. Also situated a bit further out which wouldn't be a problem if you drive a motorbike.

A really relaxed stay, a great place to socialise, friendly staff. Private room was great to stay in, really comfortable.

I had such a fantastic stay at the Yellow Star. The hostel is gorgeous and it’s a super relaxing place. The food is incredible and the staff are so friendly. I would have stayed longer if I wasn’t short on time. Plus they have the cutest doggies ❤️ I you visit Kampot I would really recommend staying here!

Gets pretty loud until late at night during the Friday night pool party.

Clean and has everything you might need on your holiday. The staff are also very friendly and helpful!

the private rooms are at the front of the property & im not sure if the dogs at the hostel belong to the hotel staff or if theyre strays but unfortunately they would bark at other dogs at the front gate close to our room so woke us up every night. maybe it would be good for guests if the dogs were kept inside at night time? regardless, it didnt spoil our trip. just an observation :)

fantastic place to stay. facilities were amazing, staff very kind. although its about a 30 minute walk to town, tuktuks are around 5,200 riel so its worth it especially as there a few other hotels with a pool in the area. we loved it so much and even extended our trip here. thank you so much!

Nothing to not like

Everything. I was supposed to stay three nights and I extended. I feel comfy here, pool is clean and food is delicious. Doggies are a big plus ♥️.

- poor laundry service, had to get my clothes washed twice. The first time my clothes were so fousty and chucked in a wet bag. Returned them to be washed again, much better and smelt cleaner but was given back to me with half of it still damp and had to air dry it out on my final day. - the bed/mattress dipped in the middle which gave for 4 nights of uncomfortable sleep continually rolling into my partner - only a bed in the AC3 room. No desk, chair, kettle, hand soap. Also no chairs or table on the patio whereas the other AC1 room had one outside. - room wasn’t cleaned/towels replenished the whole time we were there.

Lovely stay at Yellow Star. Our AC double room was a great size. The food at the hostel was fab, lots of options for vegetarians. Didn’t use the pool but it was always cleaned and was a lovely chill out spot and a great space to connect with other travellers. T was a great host and took us out on the sunset river cruise from the sister hostel Yellow Sun which was an amazing experience. Brianna gets a special mention as she made our stay so comforting and she was always smiling when we saw her, thank you for the best cocktails ever!! The dogs are so loving and adorable, although it wouldn’t hurt to give them a wash!

It’s a little out of the way, but very short cheap tuk tuk away ir you can rent a bike.

We moved from another hotel for the pool and AC.Honestly we loved our day at this place. There was a little hiccup with the room but all was sorted quickly and professionally by the super helpful and friendly staff. Overall all the chill vibe is the winner here. Pool good, food good, vibes good.

The people working here are fantastic...the dogs/puppies too. Staff are super friendly, always happy to help you and available for a good chat if you're feeling sociable. I had an issue with the first room they gave me but they immediately changed it for me without any question. The pool and bar are also a great place to chill out, eat (really nice food at a very reasonable price) and meet people. You could easily chill here all day long if that's the sort of stay you're after. The location is OK but you are quite far out of town. It's not an issue if you're happy to rent a bike or bicycle which you can do on site. I personally was a bit perturbed though by the roads so relied on tuktuks. You can also check out the buses/ferries which are regular and take you to all the hotspots. But if you're looking to explore Kampot then definitely get a bike or scooter. I enjoyed my stay here so much that I was sad to leave! Thank you for having me.

Quite far from city centre.

Amazing pool. Private rooms are so big and spatious.

Stayed in January 2024

Shower pressures not great but doesn’t really matter when it’s as cheap as it is. It is a little bit out of the way but can easily get a tuk tuk to different places.

Nice vibe around the pool area, food is absolutely amazing and reasonably priced.

Stayed in March 2024

The beds were quite hard

Nice hostel with nice people and a chill vibe. Also liked the pool and the food was good for a fair price. The room was clean and comfortable.

The room is so comfy, and swimming pool is amazing!

Very friendly staff and lots of fun activities to do with clean spacious rooms

Location could be better

We had a great stay here - lovely staff, food and dogs!

Nothing, everything was great :)

We had the best stay here! They have a great pool and communal area. All of the staff is super chill and friendly. We initially planned to stay for three nights but extended our stay, as we enjoyed the atmosphere so much! The hostel is located a bit out of town, but that’s no problem as they rent bicycles and scooters for a cheap price. They also have some nice events such as a pool party every Friday, which are worth checking out. And you will meet some cute puppies while staying here ;) Truly one of our best hostel experiences on our trip through Southeast Asia! ⭐️⭐️

I loved everything about this place !

Favourite hostel I've ever stayed in! The staff are so sweet and friendly! It's a beautiful place with a pool and mountain view! The food is lush and served in large portions. Affordable also! The value for money here is incredible! It also has loads of doggys and puppies and has the most homely feel too it! Highly reccomend doing the sunset River cruise also! So beautiful! Location is perfect !

This place is the best in Kampot by far for budget accommodation. The swimming pool is super. The food is great and at a decent price. The atmosphere is super friendly. This has been my go to place for almost 3 months as a guest and visitor.

Lovely quiet location and a great atmosphere. Pool was a really good size and a nice amount of shade. The food was delicious, and we enjoyed the 2for1 cocktails during happy hour. There were some really cute puppies there during our stay, which was an added bonus!!

Location could be an issue if you didn’t want to rent a motorbike, although there is always a tuk tuk outside to take you anywhere you need.

Great common areas and pool with good music. Easy to meet people and socialise. Staff were great! Very friendly and more than happy to help with anything, remembered your name from the first meeting. Easy motorbike rental and on site laundry for a good price. Could book tours and transport. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, curtains on the bed and great working air con. Would definitely stay again!

Friendly hostel. The swimming pool can be cleaner but it was still so good and refreshing. The vibe was amazing.

Stayed in February 2024

There were some points I didn’t like: - there are no lockers, I had to leave all my important stuff under the bed hoping that nobody would steal it. Instead of the big glass wardrobe in the room would be nicer to have lockers for valuables. - in the toilet would be nice to have at least hand soap. For the communal toilets there is the soap, so actually would not be too difficult to put som hand soap also into the dorms toilets - in the shower is missing something to hang up the clothes and the towel - the shower water pressure was not always working so good - I had twice a shower around 17/17.30 and the water pressire was really low. In the evening after 20 was better. - the bed curtains (only on the lower bes) do not close completely so if somebody turns on the light you see everything. Maybe this are some points for improvement!

The hostel has really nice common area, with a great swimming pool. I stayed in the hostel and the bed were confortable. The food is also really good.

A little bit out of the town

We had a private room which was huge! The hostel had a really nice vibe especially the pool area. The food (specifically the fried chicken) was really really good.

Stayed in February 2024

The only bad part is the location is far from the city center but a tuk tuk can be reached via grab or pass app very easily

The staff, the people, and the atmosphere were amazing
