Top choice in Kampot
This chill riverside spot caters to long-term backpackers who enjoy grabbing a cold one or a happy shake from the bamboo bar, then relaxing in hammocks and papasan chairs, listening to high-fidelity reggae and trance music. Rooms are a mix of modern fan-cooled bungalows (hot water included) and neat pod-style dormitories. It hosts Saturday-night parties on its human-made beach.
Instruments are available for those who are so inclined, and performances (amateur and professional) occur frequently.
