Not much more to say than has been said before, this is a gorgeous bolthole, a delightful place to chill out, beautifully designed, extremely well maintained, sweet staff, good kitchen. We'd done 9 days of full on temple tramping including the Northern circuit where there's nowhere nice to stay. We booked a lake room at Battambang for 4 nights r n r and it served us perfectly. We mostly sat on our terrace beside the lake enjoying the geckos, cicadas, birdlife and waterlilies, with a couple of ventures out, to walk around and enjoy the town's splendid late Art Deco architecture and then to "collect" all the hanging and box girder bridges - one of which also produced a river level bamboo bridge and hangout with gorgeous local Saturday afternoon riverside activities. We ate well 3 nights out of 4 on the terrace, venturing out the 4th to The Gecko a few minutes drive away and wished we'd stayed at "home".

Well, it's wedding season, so the unbelievably loud music and what sounds to Westerners like ranting goes on most of the night. But it's local colour and is the same everywhere in Cambodia at this time of year.

Everything about the resort is comfortable and stylish - the room, the gorgeous pool, the grounds and the owners, who are wonderfully warm and welcoming and around to chat with. The front desk staff was also incredibly helpful with granular tips for things to see and do. We found the restaurant food better than we usually expect in hotels and happily ate dinner there a couple nights rather than go into town. Basically, we enjoyed every minute at Battambang Resort and would just as happily return..

The resort is farther from town than other accommodations so we had to build a bit of extra time and coin into getting around. To offset the inconvenience, the resort covers the cost of one Tuktuk ride every day into the city, which was much appreciated; it's about $3 each way. Additionally, the tour guide Kim we hired for a couple private tours did not charge extra to pick us up at the resort. The slight distance is not a deal-breaker at all but is a consideration for travelers who prefer their attractions right outside the door.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. Their English is very good which makes it easy to organise trips and tours plus you can charge tuk tuk costs back to your room and they will organise these for you. Our driver was fabulous and gave us a lot of information about the history of the area. The food was delicious with an extensive, value for money menu. We ate all of our meals in Battambang at the resort restaurant and no dish disappointed. In fact the Fish Amok was the best out of three I had in Cambodia - it was divine. A lot of past reviewers have mentioned the breakfast - we would agree, the buffet is not great. But, if you ask for the menu items, e.g. omelette, or the soup they are lovely. The gardens are just beautiful and I took many photos of the flowers. I had a chat with a staff member who said that the owner was a great employer who treated the staff very well taking them on trips and ensuring that tips were shared with all staff - not just those front-of-house. It was lovely to know this and hear that staff are genuinely happy. As mentioned by another reviewer the missing pool tiles do need to be replaced as they could cut someone and it's not a good look. I was surprised at some of the negative reviews I read here because we would not hesitate to stay at Battambang Resort again.

We loved the Battambang from the moment we arrived until we left. The well thought out rooms, spacious and functional as well as comfortable. The staff who were unfailingly friendly and helpful, even when we were in Siem Reap and our taxi didn’t arrive they were immediately responsive. The grounds are delightful - we were lucky enough to have a lake view room and we were visited on our terrace by geckos, frogs, fireflies and kingfishers as well as many other birds during our stay. It was lovely to experience nature at such close quarters! We also enjoyed the food very much, opting to eat here every night and also sometimes at lunch. The pool was a lovely place to spend time when the heat of the day got too much.

Nothing, it’s a tuk-tuk ride away from time which made it a peaceful place to retreat to.

The staff here were lovely, helpful and friendly. The room was light, very spacious and cool. There was a great sitting area outside. The pool is wonderful, clean with a good supply of loungers and set in really well maintained gardens. The whole resort was one of the best we have stayed in. We ate breakfast and our evening meals at the hotel. Every dish we had was really tasty and some of the best food we have had in south east Asia, both the western and local asian dishes, all served with a smile. We loved it.

We stayed three nights we could easily have stayed much longer.

Everything was amazing from the staff, to the decoration, the room and the environment. The hotel staff can arrange for you everything (circus, tuktuk, taxi). You also have one free way to the city center with tuktuk. They also take great care of you and help you if you need assistance to plan your day in battambang. The restaurant and breakfast are extremely good, specially the khmer food (try the nom ban chok). Probably the best hotel i ever visited.

Absolutely nothing

Beautiful peaceful setting, lovely pool, lovely food and the most helpful and friendly staff- arranging tuk tuks, trips and onward taxi- the staff really are so nice and kind. We were in a gorgeous lakeside villa . We only ate in once - our last night - and it was all set up beautifully by the pool and was the nicest food we had in Battambang . Cycled to gecko cafe and gift shop a km away which was also lovely . Did usual bats,circus and bamboo train which were all great , but the best thing was relaxing by the pool.

Nothing .

Away from the noisy city. Beautiful grounds with trees, grass and fresh air! The bed was very comfortable! Excellent food and cocktails! We ate all of our meals at the hotel.

During the day there is a decent amount of natural light, but our bathroom light at night was very dim and insufficient. The room is a bit tired and old.

Perfect hotel. Outside Battambang, but easily accessible by tuk tuk (the hotel even pays for 1 journey a day). It has a great restaurant that's well priced. The pool area is excellent and the garden and lake pretty. The owners and staff are friendly and helpful, with lots of advice on how to get the most from the area and options for tours at good prices with English speaking drivers. We stayed 5 nights and loved it.

The hotel was amazing, an oasis of ambience and jungle. The lake view room was exceptional and like living with nature, watching the sunset, the beautiful dragon flies and 🦋 butterflies. The calm and peaceful atmosphere equalled with the most lovely staff available 😊 whom were extremely kind and courteous and people friendly. We had a meal in the evening in candlelight by the pool oasis and a birthday dessert and rendition of Happy Birthday by the staff to my partner. Highly recommended and we will return 🥰

There was nothing not to like
