Staff were so friendly and helpful, lovely wee hidden gem of a small hotel

It was a great place to stay with very kind and helpful staff!

Great location. Not too loud or crowded. We didn’t end up using the pool but looked cute when we peeked at it. The staff is very sweet. We hired Sroeun one day to take us to the temples in a tuk-tuk and had a lovely time. The reception staff/servers were likewise helpful and friendly. Really appreciated the potable water refill to avoid plastic bottles.

Great staff, nice feeling at this guesthouse, thank you!

Unfortunately, Babel Guesthouse was not the right fit for us. Upon arrival with my husband and our 3-year-old daughter, we quickly realized it wasn’t what we were looking for to end our vacation. We decided immediately to find an hotel and never used the room—we left it exactly as we found it. I had booked four nights and didn’t expect any kind of refund. However, the manager contacted me asking me to cancel the reservation through Expedia. I did so right away, thinking perhaps they were considering refunding at least a couple of nights. I wasn’t expecting to be refunded for the first night, as that wouldn’t have been fair. But in the end, it became clear that the only reason for the request was to free up the room and offer it to someone else, without offering me anything in return. It was a disappointing and frustrating experience.

Babel was a gorgeous place to stay in Siem Reap. Not far from the river & restaurant precinct it gave us a peaceful refuge after a day of exploration. Gorgeous pool area where we relaxed enjoying sumptuous cocktails. The attention to sustainability with recycling with water bottles & products used. Impressive. Loved our stay & definitely will be back.

Beautiful oasis in middle of Siam Reap with friendly staff and a full service bar and restaurant focused on sustainability

A funky little hotel geared for the eco/vegan/family type travellers For the price it’s extremely good value in a nice walkable location to restaurants etc We loved the restaurant bar area & staff. Just fantastic great value for money & a beautiful ambiance. My only gripe that the food menu leaned more towards vegan, however not entirely. The pool area is an oasis from the hustle & bustle very nice. The rooms are of good size & comfortable, however shower was hand held with poor pressure. No fridge in the rooms, however we’re allowed to put drinks in kitchen fridge downstairs. Wifi was average. When we stayed there were several families with young children. They could be loud, but that’s kids, & hotel catered well for them. If that’s an issue for you, take note. Additionally most rooms are on upper levels, with steep stairs. No lifts Overall we really liked the hotel & would consider staying again. It’s priced accordingly & certainly has a family owned charm about it, & their staff were exceptional

Best part is the food is tastier and cheaper than outside restaurants. Great food.

Spent a pleasant few days at Babel Guesthouse in Siem Reap. The staff are very friendly, although the English speakers seemed to lack a bit of local knowledge. Liked the eco aspect of the guesthouse. Our room was very large, with a good shower. AC and fan was available. The guesthouse dining/lounge area is big and enjoyable to use, as is the pool out the back of the building. The guesthouse is well located for Virek Buntham buses and you can get to the main tourist area of Siem Reap in a 15-20 minute walk. Breakfast is available, but it is more expensive than you can find elsewhere. The same for dinner. Ask to be collected from the airport or bus station and your tuk tuk driver will be your personal chauffeur during your time in Siem Reap. Definitely listen to their guidance on how to get around the temples and take a tour with them.
