Wat Bakong

This hotel would be more like what you consider a lodge. 16 rooms, all very different and charming. What makes this hotel spectacular however it is the staff that work there. They’re all very close and friendly beyond words. The staff is also extremely accommodating. We moved over to meet friends in a five star, contemporary, western, high class hotel after 4 days. The upscale hotel mind you, is four times the cost. Although the five Star hotel is magnificent it was definitely not a better experience than the Mane. I have traveled to over 50 countries and can only tell you that our stay at the Mane was absolutely top-notch.

Very quiet country setting. Staff hardworking and accommodating. Limited amenities. Limited staff. More isolated. Poor access to attractions, shops, restaurants. No working in-room phone. Spotty WiFi. Water not working.

The property grounds are covered with lush green fields and trees. It’s like soothing, green oasis. We got a complimentary upgrade to a pool villa. The villas was spacious and stocked luxurious amenities. Breakfast served was sumptuous and delicious. The staff always stocked a variety fresh fruit in the villa everyday. The highlight of the property is the staff. The hospitality and welcome is outstanding. Each one of them worked very hard to make sure that we had a comfortable stay. Special thanks to Mr.Bobby who welcomed us warmly and helped us with our requests throughout the stay. Appreciate his sense of commitment and sincerity in trying to make our stay comfortable. Thanks to Lynn, Vat and the housekeeping staff who did an excellent job each day. There is no TV in the room. There are golf carts to get to the gate or anywhere in the property. The staff was available round the clock on WhatsApp and were very responsive. Thanks to the beautiful property and the outstanding hospitality of the staff we had a memorable vacation. The tours we arranged through the hotel were great. Highly recommend this property !
