Siem Reap Accommodation Two Dragons Guesthouse Sustainability

Two Dragon Staff

If you build it they will come. That is the theory anyway. And in Siem Reap that theory is in abundance where guesthouses and hotels are concerned. Locals turn the family home into a family guesthouse while more moneyed and well connected military and government officials toss up cookie-cutter style hotels along the airport road, and do so in such profusion one has to wonder if they were built with the purpose of making money or simply moving money? Foreigners come along and with international imaginations create international guesthouses that may not do a lot for offering an authentic Khmer experience, but they do manage to produce some pretty popular places. Which in itself creates an ironic, albeit humorous situation when a backpacker inevitably sits in a bar complaining about the lack of authenticity and neo-colonialist tendencies of all these western-owned businesses... and then orders another beer from the British owner standing behind the bar. Two Dragon Guesthouse is an excellent source of information. They have created one of the most popular travel websites about Asia. Now they have created a place for you to stay.



Caring for destination

This accommodation provider has taken action to address one or more issues (whether environmental, social or cultural) which will contribute positively to the long term viability of the destination and hence their site displays a Caring for the destination rating.

Main area of focus in Caring for the Destination:  


Encouraging free and open competition


Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 


Impressing upon our staff and anyone else who cares to listen that enticing customers with ridiculously cheap rooms supplemented by three days of commissions, backhanders, hidden charges, and 'let's hassle the guest into buying everything from us and scold them if they don't...' etc is really not the best business plan, nor is it necessary to pay out enormous commissions to every taxi driver and tour guide in Siem Reap to bring you customers. We are proud of the fact that in our first year and a half of operations we still as yet have not paid so much as one single dollar in commissions or backhanders to acquire customers and we strictly prohibit our staff from accepting or offering commissions for any goods or services bought or sold. Two Dragons also supports the White Bicycle Project.

Ya, they won't change your towels everyday unless you toss them on the floor to be environmental friendly.
