Soriyabori Villas Resort

Resort

Fantastic paradise on this little island on the Mekong… quite, comfortable and great service in a beautiful setup with large and well decorated bungalows with terraces and a central swimming pool all in a luxurious garden…

Nice place to stay. Calm and peaceful. I love the wooden houses, and the gardens and the antique furnitures inside. Villagers are truly friendly and helpful!

Very nice Asian looking place to spend some time. Good kitchen, friendly staff, beautiful clean rooms with fan. Room cleaning everyday. Swimming pool with clear water and pool was also cleaned everyday. Good shower next to pool. Nice island to go around on bicycle. Perfectly arranged come and go, from and to PP by private taxi, boat and bike.

A lovely place to stop on your cycle around the island.

Don’t waste your money! First of all: I am not a one-star basher — a very seldom give one star reviews, am not sure if I even ever did. And I regularly book hotels in this price range and of that kind, so I know what I’m talking about. You can see my other reviews as reference. So, having said that I must say that we were completely disappointed by this resort. I’m not talking about the remote location, the unstable Wi-Fi, the not existing AC — they mention all that on the website and it’s totally ok. And yes, you can see that the resort once has been beautiful, the plants still are. BUT: It is absolutely not well maintained. The walkways are a mess, the bungalows are just filthy in every corner that is not used daily. Just try to lift up something beside the bed…. The pool is disgusting, you can see that is has not been cleaned for a long time since the water is unclear. There is no shower, so everybody is washing his sweat off when using the pool, etc. There are several people strolling through the resort day by day, I guess they are supposed to be working and looking after the plants. But the dying Cashew-Tree in front of our bungalow who has lost all his fruits which were rotting there (nice smell every time we passed by…) and been befallen of thousands of insects, well, this tree didn’t seem to be of their responsibility. The food is just, well, bad. Ok, breakfast you can accept, but what can be done falsely with fried eggs and a baguette.

Very nice resort, quiet, and relaxing.

Beautiful hotel in an extraordinary setting. The staff at the hotel is smiling and caring.

Superb location, beautiful pool in a wonderful setting decorated with very good taste.

Very nice place, just a little hard to get to. You need to take a public boat (crosses the river every 30min during the day) and then a 10 minutes moto taxi ride. Worth the effort, surely the best place to stay in the area.

Excellent hotel but mediocre restaurant.

Incredibly beautiful. Great pool. Truly a quiet getaway.

Fantastic Location in the midst of nature, located on a rural island on the Mekong. The hotel is very vintage, colonial, dated, and for this no air conditioning, telephones, TV and similar things. Ceiling fan, mosquito net, bathtub with feet, windowless windows but with curtains and dark. We are in the cold season but we die of heat. The bungalows, totally made of wood, are built on stilts in the typical Cambodian architecture. In short, a kind of paradise for those who love these things. I would prefer some more amenities…

As a simple visitor, the access to the pool is $5 which seems to me really excessive from where my note. Otherwise the place is really beautiful.

Nice atmosphère. Had lunch but would have liked to stay here some days and enjoy the pool.

Fantastic place on a Mekong River island.

It's a quiet place with a lot of charm. The guys who attend are very careful.

In a beautiful natural environment beautiful bungalow luxurious decoration good landscaping lacks a kettle picicine long enough to swim expensive bungalow prices.

Very relaxing place. Good place to eat or drink something even if you do not sleep there.

We only had lunch at the restaurant, didn't stay there. The place is truly beautiful. We tried the local food (fried rice and noodles). It was OK, but a bit overpriced.

Nice place but far too expensive for us!

The bathtub was dirtyand the service is 'french style' snooty and sloppy. Staff at the bar is nice though. The food is far away from good. For my fried noodles with beef there was no need to travel around the globe, my glutamine Chinese around the corner tastes better. Even the Wine is a 'catastrophe', I would have hoped a french 'restaurant' could not fail in this case, but they did.

Not very friendly, charged our family $16 to swim in the pool no one was using despite paying $50 for a very average/poor lunch as well.

I actually stayed at the Koh Trong homestay next door to the villas, but we did take a tour of the villas. It is a nice and quiet area, very secluded from the rest of the world. They do have a nice dining/pool area but it is not Club Med (which is a good thing). If you are looking to get off the grid for a little while, this is a good option. The people on the island are very friendly and it is fun to explore the surrounding area, including rice fields, bamboo forest, and the temple grounds. I did not eat at the restaurant, but the Khmer food served at the homestay was good. The ride to the island and climb up the wall of mud can be a bit daunting, but that is all part of the experience.
