THIEVES!
They will put on their best smile and lie as much as needed to sell you their products. The rooms are not worth providing an income to this type of people.
Very good guest house and very beautiful view at the Riverside
DO NOT BOOK BUS TICKETS HERE.
They sold me a ticket from Kratie to Don Det. He said it included the entire trip, but I was forced to pay to board a boat because my ticket DID NOT include the required boat fare.
The bus did not even take me to Laos. Our driver asked for our passports at the border. He wanted to charge $45 (visa is only $30) to have them stamped on our behalf. We said no.
He told us if we didn't pay him to do it, he may not be on the other side of the border when we arrived. He said we had exactly thirty minutes and he would leave. This was at 4:30pm.
We go through immigration alone and exit around 4:45pm. We wait until 5:30pm. The bus driver never shows. He ditched us at the border because we wouldn't pay him an absorbent fee.
Shame on Heng Heng Guest House for putting travelers—especially those on a budget—through this.
Big, clean plus very good price. It is close to riverside.
Good service
A spacious post-colonial tenement house with beautiful interior decoration and large rooms. Somehow run down now but still holding its charm.
Balconies available albeit not populated (no chair even!).
Clean rooms - bedding and towels smelled of laundry. Powerful fans.
The owner spoke acceptable English but had another person on the phone whom he called in case of misunderstandings. Very well-meaning and helpful.
Good location just near pier for the boats to the island and good food options.
Great value for $7.
Nice clean rooms. Big balcony on the second floor. Helpful service, but only I've guy that speaks English.
The friendly family who runs this guesthouse makes the difference. Spacious room at correct price inviting you.
Probably one of the better hotels in Kratie though we weren't so impressed. Bathroom is very basic and typical. Kinda grungy but fairly clean. A/C was pretty weak but we were cool enough after an hour and all night. Blankets and beds were quite nice. We had the room w a river view and the market is VERY LOUD until late, maybe 11pm.
The staff were far less than welcoming. By far the least welcoming place we've visited in our trip through South East Asia. The staff didn't have a happy and helping attitude, it made no different if you spoke Khmer or English.
Also one of the more expensive places ($15) we stayed at and expected better service than what we got.
