The pool was great to relax in after the heat of the morning. I enjoyed drinking at the bar and then being able to have great meals in the hotel. The staff were universally helpful, booking me a morning tour and my bus back to Phnom Penh.

I have stayed at the hotel before in 2012 but since then the whole neighbourhood seems to have become quite noisy. There are a lot of hot motorcycles accelerating on the road outside and there seemed to be a disco or nightclub operating nearby until early in the morning. The hotel supplies earplugs but I just used my noise cancelling earplugs (I wouldn't go anywhere without them) and none of the noise bothered me.

The reviews weren't exaggerating, lovely hotel, with a great feel to it ,- as others mentioned, tiled floors, excellent pool (heated too!). Big room. Breakfast was good too but you had to.place your order, not a buffet which is so inefficient!. My only suggestion for improvement would be for decent lighting in the bedroom - it's dark and the lighting is totally inadequate for reading. There's a great temple nearby and the Villa restaurant around the corner is superb. The hotel's restaurant is good too but I like to spread the business around. Just around the corner is a museum of art with works by 4 male child artists, now adults, rescued from tough lives - well worth a visit (Romcheik). There is also a gym next door to the hotel, only 4000 Riel for a day pass - great value. There's the original Bamboo Train- the station etc. is not well-maintained but the actual bamboo wagons are a laugh. Best sight of all - the bat exodus from the bat cave at dusk. It's an incredible sight as one million (estimate) bats go on the hunt for food. Honestly, it'll blow your mind unless you're David Attenborough! It's 14km away, $12 by tuk-tuk, there and back. GO! I cycled it, easy and flat but bloody hot!

I liked the availability of the staff, very nice people. I liked the room, really something unusual where there are only tiles leaning on the roof, but it has its charm, it's something original. The bathroom very spacious. Possibility to have both air conditioning and fan for those who bother the air conditioning. The noise of nature was also something spectacular. I really liked the 3-4 sheets of documentation of what there is to do in Battambang, it really helps a customer like yours truly who comes from far away and does not know the place. The name of the hotel reflects the structure.

For a 3-star hotel, I found the facility to be above my expectations. I would change and update the photos that in my opinion do not render of the hotel on booking.com.

The swimming pool was great with an ideal temperature. The 50% Happy Hour discount made sipping at the bar guilt free. The snack menu was very good., especially the chicken satay.

The lighting in the bedroom was not sufficeient. They need an LED overhead light to brighten up the room. The vegan breakdfast was nor very good. The tofu was over-saled and the potatoes were greasy and soggy Since most of the dinner specials were meat or seafood, I imagine the chef is not familiar with vegan items. Also there were no telephones in the room, so you could not ring for assistance or room service.

Thoughtfully designed rooms with comfortable beds and beautiful tiled floors. Well maintained swimming pool and excellent bar/ restaurant. Staff members were friendly, helpful & efficient and able to book onward tickets and good, English speaking tuktuk drivers. There's an excellent list of sight seeing suggestions in the room - even this 4th time visitor to Battambang was able to find quite a few new places to explore. Bambu is about a 10 minute walk to the town centre. Ear plugs are provided if the neighbouring bars are too noisy. In my downstairs room I could only just hear the music.

Nothing. This is a great place to stay.

Everything. Very prompt replies prior to arrival from Pat. He is a great guy to be around and obviously cares very much for his hotel and it's customers. Our room was huge and built like we were in the jungle. Bathroom was also lovely. Balcony overlooked the garden. Pool was spotless with enough sun loungers for everyone. Bar area good fun......draft beer cold! We ate here on the first night and again it was faultless. A ' massive' menu of both Western and Asian choices. Centrally located. Also has a library. We had a beer or two with Pat and his lovely friend Sam who owns Pomme in town ..would also highly recommend Pomme.

The first night there was techno up the road till 2 am....not the hotels fault, and they do supply earplugs. Second night we slept really well. No external noise apart from wildlife. Sun loungers and pool umbrellas could probably do with being replaced but we are not here in high season so maybe we are at the end of their use before new ones for high season.

Bambu Hotel in Battambang completely exceeded my expectations! The hotel is even more beautiful than the pictures. The food is absolutely delicious, with an amazing breakfast that set the tone for a wonderful day. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home. The lovely swimming pool offers a perfect spot to relax. If you're looking for a charming place to stay with fantastic service and food, Bambu Hotel is the place to be! I can’t wait to return!

Nothing to mention, everything was just perfect

Lovely setting, the bar, pool area and the rooms are really well thought out. We loved it. ( Plus the hotel should re- shoot their photos as the existing photos don’t do it justice!) Great food and drink and a super breakfast. Really helpful advice and help with tours.

It was a real shame but the club next door was very loud and ran on until the early hours on one of the nights and neither my son nor husband could sleep through it. Hence I had to give low marks for location. Ear plugs were provided which helped. ( I, however, had no problem with the noise ).

The hotel is gorgeous, really nice design and lovely pool and pool bar. Our room was a standard twin room on the ground floor, with a terrace. The room was massive, and bathroom was really spacious as well with a really good walk in shower. Lots of great design touches from the lobby to the room. It felt like a luxury experience, for a mid range price. The staff were all very nice helpful and friendly, able to help with transport and tours (eg tuktuk to the bat cave was very easy with a knowledgeable English speaking guide). The owner Pat was also very friendly and has written info on Battambang that is in the room. The hotel is eco conscious and has filtered water available in reusable bottles, and reducing plastic in using metal straws at the bar. Breakfast was very good, and even has vegan options and soy milk. Location is OK, there is a nice art gallery around the corner with local artists. The street of the hotel had a lot of bars we didn't go to - the hotel bar is so good. If it's not too hot it's a short walk across the river to the central part of town. We stayed 20 May 2024 for 3 nights.

Nothing

Beautifully designed. Delicious food - slightly hotel priced but worth it. Lovely bar. Lovely wooden paneled room.

The accommodation sadly needs to sort its relationship with the next door bar/club. On our first night very loud music was playing until 5am. On our second night, past midnight. When we mentioned this on the second day we were told the bar had to stop music at 11am and we just needed to tell the security guard. Although I feel this shouldn’t really be the guests’ job, the second night showed that the bar owners didn’t respond to any requests from security. The issue is the music has a deep bass which vibrates the room and bypasses the (kindly) provided ear plugs from the hotel. It’s such a shame as this night time disturbance is the opposite of the very lovely laid back atmosphere of the hotel during the day. I hope this gets resolved.
