Reviews for Sebana Guesthouse

Review 1：The guesthouse itself could be ok, rooms are big and fairly clean, hot water, wifi, good location, but the french manager ruins everything! Is not only the very unwelcoming atmosphere, or the fact that when we arrived he has been very rude and ill-mannered.. Our first night we couldn't sleep because he was playing cards with friends in the courtyard, completely drunk, talking and laughing very loudly. At midnight I had to go downstairs asking please to be more quiet, but they continued for another half an hour and then they simply moved, keeping on making noise. He didnt apologize on the following morning and we really had the sensation to be in the wrong place! Kampot is full of guesthouses, I would never ever reccomend this place to anyone!!

Review 2：Situated within easy reach of the riverside with excellent bars and Restaurants , The house itself is a very spacious building with large open landings and tiled floors. Our room was a spacious double room with en suite, breakfast was included. Respect to the owner for what he is achieving there.

Review 3：Staff is not very welcoming, most of the time I had the impression I was bothering the front desk person (owner?). Not helpful and amicable at all - should maybe look for another occupation? I have stayed in other guest houses in Cambodia for the same price (even lower) and got better service every single time - the price does not justify it. Sheets and curtains ripped in the room.

Review 4：Good location Towel, soap and other necessities are provided with the room

Review 5：The pillows are harder than the old bed, plan on a sore neck by morning. When morning does come, save your $2. on the one egg and small bit of bread, you will be going out for a real breakfast soon after. Maybe find a neck massage after you find a breakfast place near by.

Review 6：The place is quite .

Review 7：There was no hot water.

Review 8：We were able to rent a scooter from the guest house and the owners were helpful as to which roads to follow to get where we wanted to be. The place was clean and tidy.

Review 9：The scooter for hire ran well enough but speedo didnt work and the bike was quite old and crappy. Coffee was rubbish and expensive ($1 for a cup of burnt instant coffee) - pleanty of other good breakfast spots about.

Review 10：Helpful friendly staff. Comfortable rooms. We stayed two extra days in the end as it was quite and comfortable. Good place to rest after exploring. Location was fine. Short walk to town and main tourist bars/restaurants. The hotel is in a quiet location.

Review 11：Everything was satisfactory but the breakfast was very limited and they had the nerve to charge 5 US dollars for it, not a good value for the charge that is higher than other establishments around town

Review 12：The building is quite mew and well appointed the rooms are spacious and air conditioned which we needed with such hot weather

Review 13：The place was just perfect

Review 14：Amazing location and super friendly staff, lots of tipd about places to see around, where to eat, best deal in town for renting motorbikes and transportation.

Review 15：On the last night, probably because of heavy rain overflowing into the building's sewage system, a strong smell filled the room to the point it was impossible to stay in it. Luckily there was another room available so the owner moved me to that one. I wouldn't recommend rooms on the top floor as they're hot and heavy rain can be extremely noisy as they're right under the roof.

Review 16：Good price for decent rooms. It's great that they have bikes and scooters available for rental, as most attractions are outside town. The owners will also recommend which ones to visit.

Review 17：Worn out saggy bed. More importantly though, one staff member was incredibly unpleasant - dismissive and patronizing. While the other two were lovely (particularly the French Asian lady) the dark hair French guy ruined our impression of this guesthouse. We stayed in probably 30 guesthouses on our trip and he was easily the most unpleasant person we dealt with.

Review 18：Decent location. Good value for money. 2 of 3 staff very nice and helpful.

Review 19：The bathroom door was broken and the shower was a bit temperamental to switch on and off. Fan does not keep the room cool, would recommend getting a room with ac.

Review 20：Good location, friendly staff.

Review 21：There was an awful smell that came from the bathroom that did not come from me and the TV didn't work but these things don't matter too much. What annoyed me was when we asked the manager about onward travel he helped us book a bus saying the company was fine and more reliable than its rivals. A lie. What we got was a local bus with no aircon which stopped in every little town along the way. I've caught loads of busses all over Asia and I wouldn't have minded providing that's what I had agreed to, what I do mind is being lied to. Stay at the guesthouse its good, but don't book a bus with them.

Review 22：The location is very good and breakfast was nice.

Review 23：I paid for an AC room but it wasn't working very good and the room was hot all the time. I informed the staff but got no response. The $2 breakfast was very small.

Review 24：Very easy going place..not much happening , but then that's why people go to Kampot!

Review 25：- We had some wifi problems, but those are things which can happen...

Review 26：- The staff was friendly (especially Ana with whom we talked the most). - The room as well as the bathroom is very spacious and very clean. - The guesthouse in general is very clean, beautiful house.

Review 27：The mattress on the bed was very saggy. Although it didn't disturb our sleep, it probably needs replacing.

Review 28：The hotel was in a good location, just a short walk from the river and restaurants. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable and cleaned on request. Great value for money.

Review 29：Beautiful building, good location within walking distance of the river. Strong air con, powerful HOT shower (unusual for this budget in Cambodia!) and really helpful multilingual lady on reception. Also small friendly ginger kitten to play with!

Review 30：The surrounding area is a bit shady with groups of men playing some marbles (form of gambling) with loads of trucks and other vehicles parked on the street. At night it is totally dark except for the house's light. Also mosquitoes in room. The lack of staff makes it tedious to get any attention, especially to extend my stay.

Review 31：The place itself, including the room, is nice and spacious, and quite quiet because of the skeletal staff. They also have a nice big balcony but not much of a view except for the sports field. Also it's near the Durian Roundabout and bus terminal.

Review 32：No fly screen or mosquito net so had to sleep with windows shut.

Review 33：Amazing value for money - you can't beat it! Good location 5 minutes walk from river and 1 minute from Giant Ibis drop off point. Rooms a little dated but everything you need and for the price it's great value!

Review 34：The room was a bit damp and smelly. And the bed wasn't very great. When you lay down there'd be a hole in the mattress where you're body was and that hole wouldn't disappear anymore. And I'm not a heavy girl.

Review 35：The staff was super nice and friendly. They recommended us loads of stuff to do around the area.

Review 36：Only minor things: The bathroom could smell dodgy when the extractor fan was left on. The tv reception was pretty bad, for sports channels anyway.

Review 37：Surprised how cheap the room was yet it was as good as rooms you sometimes pay $10-15 for elsewhere in Cambodia. Friendly and helpful staff, comfy bed, the location's great and the riverfront is only about 5 mins walk away, the fan kept the room cool, laundry service also was cheap and the clothes smelt fine after. You won't find a better place in kampot for $7.

Review 38：The rooms (especially bathroom) are old and it shows. But for such cheap prices, it's good enough.

Review 39：Very easy to find and walking distance to the Giant Ibis bus stop. A few minutes walk to the waterfront. The owners were friendly and helpful.

Review 40：Not a lot of restaurant/bar opportunities but its all 5min walk away. The French guy seemed/smelled kinda drunk all the time but not unfriendly.

Review 41：Nice house and a great location. very helpful and friendly French lady. Easy to rent motorbikes. Great beds

Review 42：My partner and I LOVED Sebana guesthouse. We truly appreciate the kindness, care and involvement of the guys running the place. Great location, good rooms, great vibes and amazing value for money. Stop looking, stay at Sebana when visiting Kampot.

Review 43：This guesthouse is fantastic, the staff are very welcoming and provide you with Information on trips/buses etc, it is situated just off the durian roundabout, it is more like a hotel and for $7 a night for a private en suite it's a great deal, would highly recommend

Review 44：Toiletries were not provided (though it is mentioned in the overview).

Review 45：Very close to where i got dropped by the minibus (300 meters) and only a few minutes to walk to the river and downtown Cafés. Pretty nice french couple (SEBastian&ANA) and their friend who run the place. Always very friendly, smiling and super helpful (and i had many questions). By coincidence they went to Bokor Hill the same day as i had planned, so they invited me to join (not sure if i had found it on my own). Thanks Guss! Room is very Basic, but clean. Comfortable bed, big bathroom, warm water, good water pressure, AC. Wifi was working good in my room. Nice terrace on first and second floor. Rooms are cleaned upon request. Great value for money, i recommend! Owners are not pushy with selling tours etc, but i rented a bike with them for two days, had my Laundry done and all was Perfect, so no need to make any bookings outside. They also can arrange your onward travel. I had breakfast outside the guesthouse, so cannot comment on that.

Review 46：Furniture a bit tired but fair for the price compared to other Kampot hotels.

Review 47：Location was fantastic. Staff/owner very helpful. No frills but best price for what you get in Kampot.

Review 48：bed linen was dirty and smelly and bathroom was not clean also, check in have to be at 14:00 or later but not earlier

Review 49：really amazing servis, owner was really helpfull she gave us lot of advice where to go what to do in Kampot etc., nice big balcony, good breakfast and perfect location

Review 50：Good location, Friendly Owner and staff. Really love this hotel, cheap, comfort, rent the scooter very easy. central location We will come back if we visit Kampot

Review 51：Weak coffee and juice but good toast and for 2dollars . A good value for breakfast

Review 52：Very good advice for visiting the area. A great base to visit kep and the countryside. Close from everything walking distance. We where supposed to stay 2 nights , we ended staying 4. Great place!

Review 53：We're paying $7 a night. I used to pay more for my daily work commute. There's no way for me to complain.

Review 54：Came for three nights, stayed for 8! Staff are lovely and conscientious and keen to make a good impression. For the price and the standard of upkeep Sebana is a total bargain!

Review 55：Could not extent stay in current room so we had to move. Has a great balcony area but no chairs or tables to utilise it. Fan in room was hopeless and the room was quite hot.

Review 56：Helpful directions for sights around town

Review 57：The room wasn't really clean, and a very bad smell in the bathroom. The breakfast was not worth the money, a lot of places around for better breakfast.

Review 58：Location, price, lady helped us a lot.

Review 59：The first night sleep in the hotel was fine but it wasn't until the middle of the second night when me and my partner woke up covered in bites, they were so painful and itchy and we could see the bed bugs crawling on the bed, we got absolutely attacked by them and the itching hasn't worn off since, when removing the sheet to inspect the mattress it was so worn and horrible there was no wonder there were so many bed bugs!!!

Review 60：The staff at the hotel were really helpful and helped us with anything we needed the lady on the desk couldn't of been more friendly towards us helping us book tours and bus' as and when we wanted them! The bathroom and room was very spacious also and location was good!

Review 61：nothing really

Review 62：Staff extremely friendly, good value for money, you get toast, eggs, juice and coffee for 2$ which is a good price (not really my taste though)

Review 63：Very clean spacious rooms, good wifi in the room. Location just 3 minutes walk from the center, busstation and main restaurants. Friendly owners and staff.

Review 64：Located very close to the center, this guesthouse is owned by a french couple who are very friendly and helpful. They offer a 2$ breakfast, but we didn't personally try it. The bedroom was spacious and comfortable, they offer to clean it upon request. The bathroom was functional even though the sink and the shower didn't have enough water pressure. It seems like Kampot city suffers from regular water cut offs, which happened twice when we stayed there, but the guesthouse has a individual water pump in case. They also offer scooter rental.

Review 65：Nothing.

Review 66：Owners were warm and welcoming. Assisted in making travel arrangements, and were generally helpful. Kampot is a small place, and it is just off the main city center, close to many dining options and the riverside. Excellent internet.

Review 67：The breakfast, although only $2, wasn't great. You got very little in the way of eggs and the toast wasn't really toasted, just slightly charred in places. However, it was helpful having it right downstairs.

Review 68：The owners were incredibly helpful with organising activities in Kampot and our onward travel to Sihanoukville. Also, value for the room was excellent.

Review 69：Everything was perfect.

Review 70：The owners were awesome, friendly and helpful. They made us feel like in our home. If you have any problem the help you. Location was great, close to the centre but in a quiet place. Excellent value for money. Basic breakfast but good. Highly recommended, if we come back, I´m sure we´ll sleep there.

Review 71：Sometimes there was noome at reception but was normally easy to find them. Breakfast was nice, but could've been bigger to set you up for the day!

Review 72：It was like living in a mansion! Very accomodating staff, eager to help. Large, comfortable rooms Near to everything about 10 min walk Probably best room for $7 I had in Cambodia

Review 73：I liked the friendliness and helpfulness of the couple running this guesthouse. They were always so willing to answer any questions and also take the initiative to find out things they thought might interest me. They even took me on their bike to help me get my phone fixed...they didn't just tell me where to go but came with me and helped communicate with the people! Really I was very impressed. They have plenty of information about what to do in the area.. The staff making the breakfast were also very friendly too. In a very quiet location but close to banks, restaurants and bars. Only a few minutes walk to the riverside which is lovely to sit by and eat by. They also can arrange scooter and bicycle rental for you which is handy. You don't have to go looking. Room is nice and spacious and comfy bed.

Review 74：Nice and quiet location away from the noise of the bars. Takes only five minutes to go by foot to the river side. The owners are great, speak french and have a very good knowlesge of the region and can organize activities, tours and scooter rentals.

Review 75：The place was not bad but we have stayed in better for the same price. The breakfast was very poor especially for a hotel that is said to include an a la carte restaurant

Review 76：The location was not bad a short walk from the river

Review 77：Would have been nice to have the room cleaned or at least the bins changed during our stay.

Review 78：Location was great as extremely close to the centre of town and all the great restaurants/bars. The staff were helpful, booking onward travel and bike hire. For what it was it was a good price. $7 per night for a fan room.

Review 79：I think this house has such potential, its a really nice building but unfortunately the couple who runs it dont make the best of it. There is not a single decoration item and no cosy seating possibilities on the nice balconies (only two very uninviting plastic chairs). They really could put more heart into this guesthouse!

Review 80：Located a short hop from the Durian roundabout this guesthouse has a really quiet location, local supermarkets are just around the Durian,Night market 1min by walk (good for value dinner), only 7$ with private bathroom.

Review 81：The water, power, and internet went off and on, but that's everywhere in Kampot.

Review 82：Very friendly and helpful owners. Location by the "big durian" very convenient to city center. Very good value for the price.

Review 83：Bed and bedding was so dirty that we had to pull out our sleeping mats,when i looked under the sheets we did not even sit on the bed. I thought it will be OK with sleep. mats but after 2nights i've had some rash and at the day of leaving both of us ended up with some bites from insects as there were bugs literally all around the room. After flushing the toilet or shower there was a strong bad smell in the bathroom. Also be aware while renting motorbikes,they give your passport to some other people/company and i was not aware of this as i expected to get a moto straight from them. Did i complained about anything? Rather not,the owner was drunk at our first night and i know how easily can a complain lead to arguing. However they do some renovation so hopefully they will improve their rooms(or change the bed).

Review 84：Location,close to riverfront and shops. The building is nice and there is renovation going on,Ana is also nice and friendly but...

Review 85：It's only a very minor gripe but the water pressure on the top floor was sometimes very weak.

Review 86：Seb and Ana made us feel very welcome here and gave us a lot of help with where to visit in Kampot and with booking various things. The rooms are clean and the mattresses super comfortable. We had a fan room which was adequate for our needs. Added bonus is a gorgeous communal balcony and proper, delicious coffee which is hard to find in Cambodia! Location is in a quiet street just off the durian roundabout so very central and easy to find.

Review 87：The Scooter that I rented was a over-priced, clapped out gas guzzler. Perhaps a bit too far away from the riverside action.

Review 88：Excellent price for what you get. Close to the Giant Ibis Bus Stop. Walking distance to the Old Market and riverfront.

Review 89：The facilities in the room can be improved but it was all good! Wifi signal on the 1st floor was quite weak

Review 90：Seb & Ana were so helpful throughout our stay. Good location, no loud or strange noises during night time, we slept like babies! :) p/s : looking forward to seeing you in Malaysia, Ana ! :)

Review 91：Nothing really. If I was going to be really pedantic, I could mention the little noise each morning from next door, but I didn't really notice it that much.

Review 92：The fan room was great value for money. Nice and clean with nice and helpful (French) owners. For what you pay you can't fault the place.

Review 93：Nothing

Review 94：Friendly helpful staff anything we asked was looked after quickly. They gave you good advice and made the stay enjoyable.close to most things breakfast was good and you were served quickly

Review 95：We booked minivan tickets to Kep through Sebana and were told it would arrive at 10:30. We were aiming to be ready for 10 which would have given us plenty of time, however, it actually arrived at 9:40. The French man who owns Sebana came and knocked on our door to tell us we needed to be downstairs. We needed 3 more minutes to pack a few more things. He was very disgruntled by that and went off in a strop.

Review 96：Great location on a quite street off the Durian Roundabout. At $7 a night for a double room Sebana offers a huge saving.

Review 97：Such a charming place! The location is great, right next to the night market, not too far away from the river, restaurants, bars... and the nearest minimart is only a three minute walk away. The hosts are super nice and relaxed people and they go out of their way to make your stay a pleasant one. Rooms are spacious, as is the rest of the house. There are several balconies and a patio and it's always nice to sit there and have a chat with other guests. It's definitely good value for money!

Review 98：The pillows are so hard, softer options definitely required!!

Review 99：Good location, not far to walk to the Main Street where there is plenty of restaurants. The owners were lovely and always on hand to help. We wanted to do a tour in a tuk tuk of a few places around Kampot and they recommended a driver for us and phoned him to see if he was available..he arrived to pick us up a few minutes later and he was an excellent tour guide! Cheap price for the room, good value for money. Would definitely recommend!

Review 100：The rooms need a really good clean, there were lots of cobwebs in our room that must have been there for a long time. Mattress in room really old. The Hotel could easily be great with just a little bit of attention to detail.

Review 101：Hotel is in a good location, the owners were really friendly and helpful. Decent sized bedrooms

Review 102：Overall I had a great time in Kampot, the location was great and the couple who runs the guesthouse helped me getting a trekking tour as well as arranging for a motorbike rent. Breakfast though was not included and poor (I haven't eaten there as they only had one set menu) but moreover they messed up my bus tickets (and what was unacceptable is that they did not properly apologize.. They did not even care alerting me as not when I presented my self at the check out!!!). This of course messed up the end up of my trip in Cambodia as I could not get another bus in time before having to catch my flight back home.

Review 103：Location

Review 104：Room and ensuite bathroom was already a bit run down, mattrace not very good, No mosquito net although needed

Review 105：Friendly and helpful people at the reception, fairly quiet location, cheap price

Review 106：Quite basic, can be quite loud from the street early morning.

Review 107：The couple who run this are very helpful, efficient and friendly. Such good value for money.

Review 108：I stayed 3 nights, and from 10pm til 7am each night a loud resonating drone-like noise and reverberation was felt all through the room! Disturbing for sleep!!

Review 109：Friendly staff, clean room.

Review 110：The french couple, who are running the guesthouse, are extremely friendly and helpfull. They took really care of me after my Scooter accident. I can highly recommend thiis place!

Review 111：Half of the furniture like the bedside table, tv commode etc. was demolished, pretty shappy and actually useless. If they would through out this garbage, the room would appear more friendly and spacious. Dirty sheets!

Review 112：Close to riverside and restaurants Friendly staff Cheap rooms

Review 113：The sink had no bottom so water would fall through to the floor was strange. Fan in room didn't reach us in bed so was extremely hot.

Review 114：Location was few minutes to main streets, really cheap for good sized room, good wifi.

Review 115：The Sebana Guesthouse is a beautiful building run by lovely owners, who are full of ideas and always ready to give advice and to help. I do recommend this guesthouse to everyone looking for nice and quite place. Thank you.

Review 116：Nothing...

Review 117：Nice place with friendly staff and owners in a good location in central Kampot. Laundry, rending a scooter and organization of Bus to Phnom Penh worked perfectly. Rooms are very simple but clean and free wifi is available. Breakfast was nothing special but for two dollars it will keep you up till you either find a late second breakfast or early lunch.

Review 118：The breakfast is at best mediocre, the rooms are VERY dirty and there is no hot water.

Review 119：Fantastic staff, very helpful with regards to organising tours, bikes, etc. The common areas are kept clean and are in good condition.

Review 120：Breakfast boring. Room dirty. Wifi REALLY bad. No lamp in the bathroom. Really disturbing smell from the sewer. Room full of small flies.

Review 121：The staff was wonderful. Works fine for a few nights.

Review 122：There was no wifi in the room, only in the lobby downstairs. When we asked about it, the staff said that the internet in the first and second floors sometimes disappears if too many people are logged on, which was not true as during the 3 nights we stayed there, the internet never appeared. No mosqito net at the window. The bed linen was not really clean and had stains. When we asked for houskeeping, our request was ignored. Also, do not eat breakfast there - the omelette was flooded in oil and the toast was deep fried (!!!). There are places relatively nearby where you get better breakfast for the money.

Review 123：The room was ok and the staff was nice and helpful and spoke good English. You can rent motorbike from them for 6 usd/day.

Review 124：Consistently helpful and friendly staff fluent in English and French. Extremely good value rooms cleaned well every day. Excellent breakfast. Ideal location. Nice views from balconies. Very, very good deals on rentals and transport.

Review 125：Great location, very good price, i made a last minute booking after 8:30 pm and when I arrived 5 minutes later the girl was very welcoming and nice. Also I had to leave early the next day and they prepared the breakfast 15 minutes earlier than usual time. Great place!

Review 126：Nothing! Everything was perfect, thank you guys!

Review 127：We loved it here! We booked initially for 1 night and we ended up staying 6 nights. Clean, managed by a French couple that help you on anything you need at all times. Very close to bus stop and Old Market (restaurants and bars area). Very cheap and cozy guesthouse, excellent wifi connection. We felt like at home here!

Review 128：The bathroom is really small and the shower's water jet not powerful.

Review 129：The owners were really friendly ! They helped us to organize our journey, they knew all the good places to see and did everything to make our stay exceptionnal. Thanks to them, we had a great tuk tuk named Micky who brand us from Kampot to Kep to see all the best places ! Plus, the prices of the rooms are really low and the guesthouse is well located. Well done, and thanks again !!

Review 130：It is next to a soccer pitch so there was a lot of loud cheering in the mornings but we didn't have a problem being woken up. It will be a problem if you like to sleep in

Review 131：Excellent location New owners took over at the end of December and are trying their best to fix the place up. There are still issues like water damage in the bathrooms but my understanding is the previous manager did a very poor job of upkeep. They are the kindest people though and will take great care of you.

Review 132：Sometimes, there was some smell in the bathroom, rest is perfect!!

Review 133：Seb and Anais, the owners, are really friendly, they took care of everything, from providing information to rent a motorbike. The guesthouse is an old colonial mansion, very beautiful. It's a must!

Review 134：cleaning is focused on the floor, don't look arround in your room, it's pretty discussing in every corner! can be very loud in the mornings due to the close 'footballstadium' place is run down and needs a lot of improvement, for example to get rid of the smel in the bathroom that slowly even enters your bedroom; we never had such a discusting breakfast - i've never seen so much oil in and arround scrambled eggs and even the toast was fried in oil - maybe somebody likes it, we don't

Review 135：friendly owner, who took over just 2 months ago and try to do a good job; cheap and quite ok what you get for it; the big balcony for everyone is very nice;
