"They have information posted in the lobby that allows guests to see what some volunteer or donation options are. They appeared to employ only Cambodian staff and had bicycles available to rent. They were very helpful in finding me contact information for volunteer agencies in the area."

"They were quite nice to accomodate our additional request, for eg: we requested to "borrow" their kitchen to fry our "eggs" cos we broke a tray of eggs when we were shopping for groceries at the supermarket.The mother even helped us to fry the eggs. It wld be better if the guesthouse can provide 2 way transfer (to/fro the airport)."

"Hot & cold water is supply by solar power that was not inform in the web. Travellers always back late to the guest house & was informed that no more hot water. Room facilities was not persistance; example supply of mineral water was upon request. I feel they should put it in the room what they had promised to supply."

"Bou Savy was a great place to stay and I highly recommend it to those travelers visiting Siem Reap. A tuk tuk driver (Sokie), who is one of the several associated with the guest house, met me at the airport and immediately offered his help in arranging a workable schedule for seeing Angkor over the next four days. He was very flexible and accommodating. In general, the guest house is well suited for orienting visitors, offering abundant local tour options and ideas. The staff ther than my driver were also very friendly. The guest house itself is beautiful: the grounds, landscaping, and the building's open balconies create a very pleasing embience. I give the place full marks!"

We were quite surprised to get free pick-up, free dinner, cable TV in the room for such little money we paid. The staff was all very helpful and the food was fantastic."

"We were very pleased to be met at the bus station by the owner and driven to the guest house. Since we did not know the exact time of our arrival, we were surprised that he was there waiting for us. On arrival at the guest house they gave us welcome drinks and explained some of the sights to see in the area. They were also able to arrange for a car and driver or tuk tuk serivce. The breakfasts were nice, fee for internet very reasonable. Staff were always on hand to answer questions or meet our needs. The location was also fine. It was down a little alley, but inside the compound was beautiful."

"Prompt and good service. We had a tuk-tuk awaiting for our arrival despite a last minute booking of room and being informed of our arrival just the night before (i.e. at about 10 pm the previous night on our arrival on the next evening). Quite spacious room and good breakfast. Full list of amenities available such as soap, toothbrush and small toothpaste,2 small bottles of mineral water per day, etc. However, the snags are no shampoo provided, charges for internet service and the TV in our room was not in good working order despite request to check on inconsistency of sound system - sometimes on but mostly off. A bit off from the old market but nevertheless, still within walking distance if you don't take a tuk-tuk. "

"We were very impressed with their quick service - especialy as we booked additional nights prior to our earlier reservation and requested for free pick-up only the night before we arrived. However, please remember to bring your own shampoo as it is not provided. Hopefully, they might do so in the near future. Otherwise, we had a good time at Bou Savy even though it is a bit far from the central market and old market. Nevertheless, it is still within walking distance -good practice for walking around Angkor Wat, etc."

"Bou Savoy Guesthhouse is tidy, comfortable and safe. The staff makes you feel very welcome, as if you were a party of the family. I received wonderful assistance in getting transportation out to visit the temples -- my driver/guide, Rong, was wonderful.
Traveling alone isn't always easy for a female, but my trip to Siem Reap was one of the best experiences I've had in South East Asia and that was due in a very large part to the services at Bou Savoy. "

"For the price it was really good. We stayed in another hotel a couple of nights before that was well over twice the price but the same level. The room did have a few mosquitos hanging around so we rigged up our mosquito net (using a complex system of coat hangers) for this one - just to be on the safe side. Also the floor of the bathroom/shower had big sandy footprints in it when we arrived - i can only imagine that it was the footprints of the cleaner! Apart from that, the staff were friendly and the room reasonable.
Location wise, it was only just walking distance from the center - we walked in during the day and tuk tuk'd back at night."

"We were traveling in Thailand, singapore and malaysia and also we planned to visit angkor Wat. I was looking at a cheap and clean accomodation for around 10$ per night. I happend to book in this hotel purely looking at the rate and did not expect any great service from there. To my surprise, we had a greatest stay of our trip in this hotel.
The rooms were very clean which made u feel just at home. Also we were trated as a part of the family with complete uncommercial approuch. We even handed over all our valuable and passports to the owners of this hotel so that we could travel hazzel free. Our belongings were kept with atmost care.
Even for a visit, they had arraned a tuk tuk at a very reasonalble rate campared to the market. They even have a travel desk wherein we could get our tickets booked to phonphen.
One thing which touched our heart is that, at the time of we checking out the lady owner came till the car to see us off and bowed her head too.. We were made to feel like a personal guest there.
I highly recomend that this is a great place to stay in siam Reap and would say that it is a home away from home. "

"Amazing place to stay for a really low price! The whole guesthouse is surrounded by trees and is located in a very silent locality. The beds in the room are a real treat after a long tiring walk in the temples. Rooms are also provided with a nice file listing all places to visit in Cambodia. Motups are available from the guesthouse at a reasonable price of $ 12/day. All of this and you don't need to pay upfront! Just give your card details for confirmation and your room gets booked for free. "
