The staff was very friendly! As a 23 year old at the time, I felt very safe. The food in their restaurant was so good and had american food (with a Khmer touch). The courtyard in the hotel was beautiful! There was a internet cafe close by with friendly staff! The air conditioning didn't work in my room so they... More

We stayed here a year ago on an extended trip through South East Asia and thought the quality to price ratio was excellent, the room was large and airy very clean and nicely designed. We arranged a tuk tuk tour of the temples through the hotel and our driver was excellent and really friendly. What really lets this place down... More

I stayed here for 3 nights getting over jet lag while I was on my way to a charity project and then alone for 3 nights to explore prior to my flight onwards. It's a bit of a walk out of the centre but it's very easy to get tuk-tuks there/back. Very good value, I had a spacious double room... More

I stayed here about 5 years ago and I remember thinking highly of it back then so I was excited to return for another week here whilst passing through on my way to Vietnam. The actual guest house is pretty large, the rooms are spacious and it is kept clean. The building itself is large, open and airy, which is... More

I have been to Siem Reap twice and both times I stayed at Smileys Guesthouse. This is a family run place where they make all the food and can help you with a range of services and help. From all the places I stayed at between being in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam this place takes the cake. For $15 you... More

I stayed at Smiley's for almost a week while I was in Siem Reap. You can't beat it for $5 USD/ night ($15, I think, for A/C and hot water). It's family run and the staff is super nice. They have two computers with free internet (a bit slow), good food at their restaurant, and it feels more like you're... More

I've stayed in budget hotels in Thailand, China, and Cambodia, and this is the best budget hotel that I've stayed in. This was a school group, and we had single, double, triple, and quad rooms. My single room had a double bed (excellent mattress: like memory foam, that was an amazing surprise), air conditioning, older 13" TV (worked fine) with... More

We stayed in the Smiley Guesthouse for 7 nights and only that long because one of us got sick. First of all, the rooms are really nice, big and have a comfortable feel. We saw two rooms because we had to move. In our first one, the tv didn't work any more because of the construction (every morning from 10-12,... More

We had a lovely room for about $10; unlike many budget rooms in SE Asia it looked as though a bit of thought had gone into the decor, rather than just being furnished with cast-offs from someone's grandma. The restaurant was in a lovely partly open-air garden setting with big wicker chairs which were perfect for relaxing in the shade... More
